In Flight adjustment of GV
In Flight adjustment of GV
Hi,
Using Taranis and OpenTx 2.1
I am trying to set up elevator compensation when I vary the throttle on my model. I have been able to set up the compensation okay but I want to be able to adjust this in-flight using a slider
I have struggled to get my head around linking the slider to the GV. I would really appreciate any help and in particular a sample of an eepe file so I can progress. It's driven me mad trying to do it. (I have used an MPX P4000 for years but age has removed to many brain cells).
Cheers,
George

Try this in SPECIAL FUNCTION
About age and the disappearance of those cells - you are not the only one

Re: In Flight adjustment of GV
Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried that but I had a setting wrong somewhere as the elevator moves through -25 > 25 when I adjust the slider. The GV is set at 25. I have a curve Linear 0>25.
I appreciate your help.

Hi Kalle123,
Thanks again for your reply. I certainly appreciate your efforts to help but adding another GV and introducing the Throttle Trim is confusing me now (not hard). I know there is a way to do this just using the slider and that is what I would like to do.
I have attached the eepe file if that helps.

Re: In Flight adjustment of GV
I don't normally use OpenTX but here is an eepe from companion 2.1.1. see if it does what you want.
Adjust the amount of compensation on channel 9. Make sure the weight and offset values are equal..

Re: In Flight adjustment of GV
Glad it worked
I had to remember how to work with GVARs in openTX. I use ersky9x which is a bit different.
@ the developers, one thing that had me scratching my head a little is that (at least in companion) I had to set the switch field (first field) to ON for the GVAR to work. I think it doesn't make sense because:
1- I wasn't using a switch to control the GVAR.
2- The GVAR was enabled.. The "ON" (enable) box was checked as you can see in the eepe file I've posted above.
So, if i don't want to use a switch, and the GVAR is ON (enabled), and all the other fields are set, then it shouldn't be necessary to set the switch field to ON for it to actually work.
Just my 2c

Re: In Flight adjustment of GV
I see one of the issues I had was setting the weight and offset. I know there is a formula that gives movement of 20% in the control surface when the Weight of 5% and Offset of 5%. I'll have a look and find out what it is.
Re: In Flight adjustment of GV
For 20% use 10% weight and 10% offset.

Re: In Flight adjustment of GV
Hi João,
I actually get 20% movement with 5% Weight and 5% Offset in the file you sent me. That is why I was looking around to see what the formula is. I can see it has changed over different versions of OpenTx.
