I can now see that the mixer template creates a safety switch for CH3 which sets the throttle to -100 when I use the Thr cut switch and it will remain at -100 until I close the throttle. This is good! X. THR. -100 Thr It would be nice to be able to link a voice alert in this page e.g. VA5 --> "...

Using r220.
Templates 02 & 03 do not set any channel mix.

I will try again. However, the XJT is definitely receiving data from the FLVSS as I can see total and cell voltages on the radio and TmOK = 2. I did not save the log file the way you described (restart in bootloader mode). I powered down the radio, removed the SD card, mounted it on the PC and then ...

Telemetry log

I have updated the radio firmware to r220. Yes, TmOK does work as you describe. :) According to the Arducopter docs (http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-frsky-telemetry.html#common-frsky-configmp) setting SERIALx_PROTOCOL to 4 outputs standard S.Port FrSky telemetry. However, I am still not seei...

I prefer the old way. It helps confirm the XJT is receiving.

Craft & Theory use their own IDs on the FrSky SPort. I'm not certain r218 supports these. At the least, please update the firmware on the 'PRO to r220, or you could go for a later test version from the test versions thread. Mike. OK Mike, I have updated to r220. I have not yet connected the rad...

I am running ersky9x-r 218 firmware on the radio with the XJT module. I have installed a Craft&Theory telemetry cable between my HK Pixhawk clone(serial 4/5) and the X8R receiver, chained with the FLVSS sensor. I set SERIAL4_PROTOCOL to 4 (standard FrSky) and have Arducopter Firmware level 3.3.2...

FIXED! When I checked the Telemetry settings, somehow I had changed the Invert COM 1 to ON! Reset it to OFF and all is good again :) Tx for making me check the Com Port! For some reason it is still possible to label the Swr field in the custom page "TSSI" The hard coded fields do read &quo...

For some reason, I can no longer see any telemetry on the custom telemetry screens. I was getting RSSI, TSSI, RxV, TmOK, etc. I think some of them were non-zero when I powered up the radio without even connecting to a receiver before. The XJT module LEDs are solid red + flashing green which looks OK...

Unless that's changed I believe the C&T cable is just a passive serial level adapter. I think the FC can output native S.Port that you can send straight out as standard FrSky telemetry. There's a separate data format for their script and you shoudl be able to change which one you want put out. ...

I've done some firmware for an Arduino Pro Mini that takes in Mavlink and sends out FrSky, 'D' or 'X' telemetry. Mike. I think the telemetry converters offered by Craft&Theory and Airborne Projects may be performing some type of data conversion in addition to providing the required wiring/conne...

You can't know amps without a current sensor... now it seems your power module has one, which would give current data to the FC, now you need to get the FC to tell that to the receiver if possible. Need to check the doc of your FC to see if it can talk to an FrSky receiver and how to configure it i...

Well, if you measured 4.9V with the voltmeter, then the rock solid 5.2V are WRONG.. :) João Forgive my ignorance -- if you connect several devices together, is the output voltage of device 1 always equal to the output voltage of device 2, etc.? In my case there are 3 devices, the power module (Mauc...

I am asking if measuring/displaying the amps can be done *without* using an SPort sensor?

I am using my telemetry radio & Tower app on Android to display amps and mah. On the telemetry screen on the 9XR Pro, I am showing cvlt, ctot, and rxv using frsky X8R + FLVSS voltage sensor (TmOK = 2) with the XJT module. Now I want to display Amps on the custom telemetry screen. I set Current S...

I measured the voltage on the servo pins on the X8R and got 4.9 volts, so I adjusted the Rx Voltage factor in the Telemetry settings page to 13.3v to get 4.9 showing on the radio telemetry page. I now think the logged voltage readings of the Pixhawk (5.2v) are not going to be the same as the Rxv (4....

You clearly need a test meter then measure the voltage with it. I would say measure it in both places. Without an accurate measurment, you don't know if one or other (or both) of the values reported are actually correct. Mike. I do have a multimeter. The sbus port on the X8R is connected to the rci...

Dataflash logs in MP ;) When I plot the "power issues" graph from the logs, my curr.vcc (powr log entries) is a very consistent 5.2 +/- 0.03 I increased the factor from 13.2 to 14.4 and the Rxv on the telemetry page now reads 5.2. Is the curr.vcc not supposed to be the same as the Rxv? How...

I have noticed that the Rxv value on my telemetry page shows around 4.8v. However the dataflash logs show between 5.0 and 5.2. The receiver is a FrySky X8R with a XJT module in the radio. The power module is a Mauch. I can see there is a setting for "rx voltage" in the Telemetry settings p...
