Read Analog A2 with receiver D8R-II Plus

Post by Raythegreat »

Hi all,

I have the receiver D8R-II plus and Taranis.
I'm trying to read the analog value A2.
I had it work very well before V2.1.8. It worked well with V2.0.8 (my previous firmware).
I tried to do the discover sensors and set the parameters and it does not work.
I don't even see the calibration number anymore for the voltage divider.
How can I set this sensor A2 again?

Please advise,
Thanks
RTG.

OK I got it to work.
I can read my telemetry A2 analog LiPo battery voltage accurately on the telemetry screen.

However, when I do the "play value A2", it does not give me the good value.
As an example, I have a 3 cell Lipo and I read 11.4 volts which is correct voltage (measured with a voltmeter) but the play value A2 gives me 11.9V.
A big difference.

Any explanation for that?

Thanks

OK I have more information.

The value of "play value" A2 seems to be always 0.5 volt over the good value of A2.
I just tried my 4 cell lipo at 15.2 volts (good value in telemetry screen) and the play value A2 says 15.7 volts.
I think this is bug in this V2.1.8.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks

If you hadn't installed them, it's certainly the problem.

Same exact thing, the Play A2 is + 0.5 Volt over the good value. Telemetry screen still has the good value.

Does anyone has the "Play value A2" working with V2.1.8? It must be the same value as the A2 in the telemetry screen.

Hi Kilrah,

Can you please send me the link to these new sound files? to be sure I use the good one.
Do I need to erase the ones I have on my SD card and rewrite the new ones?
I don't understand why sound files would create this type of problem.

Thanks

Official 2.1 packs are here:

Replace the contents of the SYSTEM folder.

They do because there has been a shift in the file numbering due to new units being added.
