Hi,
I´m looking for improvements on my old Futaba radio, interested on color touchscreen and other improvements like expo, throttle warning, time warning... I was thinking on made my own changes OpenTx code to adapt a touchscreen to mega2560. But since Opentx team looks like will release a open source Horus compatible firmware, there will be a project like mega2560 with Horus code? maybe with a STM32F4 microcontroller?
Regards.

Re: Horus DIY
Great job, I always thought the 2560 DIY project was a bit stupid for using an outdated (and unnecessarily expensive) platform... Now you're actually in advance and cheaper
Have you planned some audio? Waveshare's VS1003B board seems like it would be compatible with only potentially minor adjustments.

Re: Horus DIY
Yes, I reviewed some audio boards and I think I found exacly I need, waveshare board or another chinese clone could do the trick. But first need to do:
- Improve power system (ensure I can power on/off with the button, power on/off all stuff like rf module, LCD, check battery level...).
- Ensure PPM out is working fine (to feed DTH module).
- Ensure telemetry is working.
- Do a keyboard to control this "creature" (I think Rarus will be a great name).
- I love trainer port to practice on simulator, I need this working too.
ADC is working, as least channels 1 to 8 and SD card too. Of course as you can see LCD has a nice image.
I´ll update when have new news.

Re: Horus DIY
I guess at some point someone will need to make a little carrier board the CPU board could be plugged onto, otherwise it's gonna become a big wiring mess, especially once SD and things are added...
Re: Horus DIY
Hi! Where I can find more info about this? I am very keen to try this out. I have STM32F429iDISCO lying around and I think it would make great diy project to stuff it in to my FS-T6 transmitter. I was fiddling with AR-T6 earlier, but the MCU in FS-T6 is running out of memory fast.

hi guys i'm look to contact Drashiel, for many question can you send me an email please [email protected]
Re: Horus DIY
Hi
This weekend I fried mainboard and start to consider to sleep the project for a time. This is the final "photo", I have until 07/MAR/2017 opentx "rarus" firwmare:
I can share all information with anyone who wants to continue with project.

Re: Horus DIY
Hi,
any news on this? Would be very interested in an DIY TX with STM32 and color display.
Is there more information available on the hardware of the rarus?

Updating the project
Hi, I discovered the nextstep project some times ago but I discovered yours quite recently and it seems really intersting. Using a stm32 sounds better but the touchscreen feature, i love it. i'm tired of bulky tx and i've fallen in love with the mavic controller, compact awesome quality (better than anything on the market i would say...). So what i want it to put opentx inside of this "box", ive removed the electronic from inside and just left the hall effect sensor for the gimbals (i'll have to fiugre out how they work... seems to be i2c)
I'll love to learn to developp this project but i dont think i'll be able to do it alone...
Hope someone is still here checking this thread
