Re: Serial communication over Frsky Telemetry Link

I have checked the HC-05 BT module connected directly (no radio) to a Matek F405 serial port, running Ardupilot and everything connects as expected with Qgroundcontrol on my Android phone, so that rules out problems with the BT module. However, I cannot connect the BT module to the Telemetry viewer ...

Re: Serial communication over Frsky Telemetry Link

What is the communication speed of s.Port? Does it need to be configured on the Telemetry settings page (erskytx)?
I need to connect the s.Port on an XJT module to a Bluetooth module and I need to configure the connection speed of the serial port on the BT module.

Can someone pls provide the correct config settings so that telemetry data is mirrored out the s-port on a XJT module?

Re: Understanding mixer offset

Second attempt:

CH2 100 Ele
+ -30 HALF
Sw ELE, Ofst 0

This seems to work better. Only minor issue is the max down elevator PWM is less than 2000 (1850).

I also restricted it to work only with the flight MODES I might use for launching.

Understanding mixer offset

I want to add a small amount of up elevator on launch using the ELE switch. This mix produces a result by lowering the pwm from 1500 (mid point) except the max pwm is much lower than the required 2000.

While debugging the iNav flight mode and GPS telemetry, I have a custom page set up showing T1= and T2=.
Can you pls confirm the maximum number of digits that can be displayed for these 2 variables? I am concerned that the numbers coming through may be truncated.

"Global" model limits?

I am setting up a model for an iNav plane. iNav expects all PWM values to be between 1000 and 2000.
Currently I have restricted the minimum and maximum on every used channel using the Limits page (-98/+98)
Is there a simpler way to achieve this via a single "global" setting for the model?

Re: Receiver numbers

So if I have understood you, it is important to first manually assign the Rx#, e.g. 7, that you want to use in the model/protocol page and then bind. That number is stored somehow in the physical receiver until it is changed by rebinding with a different number. In this example, multiple models can ...

Re: 9XR Pro dead :(

All the connectors are out of sight, on the back side (where R9 is). The wiring harnesses seem short and I am concerned that if I just pull the board hard I may damage something.
Do you release the board via the front of the radio?

Fitting the Taranis gimbals was easier than this :)
