I have the XR series of receivers.

Then the update will work and stop the annoying warnings, but as Kilrah says they are only telemetry warnings you won't lose control, you can turn off the warnings in the menus.

Not sure which Rx you have but there is new firmware for a range of Frsky Rx's which will stop the telemetry loss when the Tx is too close to the Rx amongst a lot of other improvements..

Painless 360 has done a video on that here..

All good now...

I bought a Creality CR-10S from '3d-printer-online' on Ebay for £220, it was listed as used but came in an original box and looked brand new. 3D printing is a steep learning curve. I've learnt a lot since owing one. I've use Octoprint to link the printer to my PC and updated the firmware to Klipper....

Nice installation... Never thought to remove the reset button, that always gets in the way when trying to put boards on top of one another.

Well after a bit of though I sorted out the volume control, in mixes I picked a spare channel I used LS as the source with a weight of -100, then in special functions, switch is 'ON' Action 'Volume' and parameters is the spare channel you used in Mixes. Works a treat. Throttle was just a case of cha...

Hi Recently bought a Horus X10S having owned a Tarnais from the very beginning, on the Taranis I used the left slider as a volume control and the right as a throttle for my electric assisted gliders (I'm in mode 1) I have the throttle stick to work the crow/brakes as most of my models are pure glide...

PM sent Chris...

Hi Chris

Are you thinking of making the PCB commercially ? I would be very interested in a board

Brilliant, worked first time. I didn't realise that the oxs_config.h file worked in conjunction with the openXsensor software on the Arduino..

Thanks for you help.. It now all starts to fall into place...

Now i have a working GPS with Vario

Hi I've recently built a Openx gps sensor following this thread here http://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=10472 No one was more surprised than me when it actually worked. All picked up Ok in adding new sensors on my Taranis. I have now tried to add a vario using a GY-63 board, I co...

Just been messing about again with the GPS, I have it daisy chained with a vario to an X8R receiver with the vario first in line, I have now swapped them over with the GPS first in line. Resting the nose of the model by the window sill inside the house the GPS locked on within a minute or so... and ...

Just done a test outside in the garden.. With GPS module outside the plane with the 'UP' label downwards I gave up after 25 minutes without getting a lock. Switched off.. Tried with 'UP' label upwards and it took just on 5 mins to lock, when switched off and tried again without moving the GPS module...

No, its mounted with the 'up' sticker on the top and when taken out its sat on the wing with the 'up' sticker on the top

Sorry forgot, no FPV.. It has just a vario and the gps..

It usually sits above the receiver but I now take it out and rest it on top of the wing whilst it's on the ground..

jhsa wrote:Helle meant outside the house.. did you take your model outside the house and tried the GPS?

Yes it was outside... Sitting in the middle of a big field..

I've tried hanging it outside the model on the ground waiting for a fix and inside the model, doesn't appear to make much difference..

I've recently received a frsky GPS module, whilst it works well being able to output the log file straight to Google earth via a KMZ file i'm finding it can take over 10 mins to fix its location.. The GPS PDF file says it should fix in 30secs.. Is it normal for such a long time or do i have a dodgy ...

Brilliant, Thanks Carbo, and so simple (when you know how)

Cheers

Hi I'm having problem with air-brakes on my Salto. I've based my template on a file from the forum and adapted it for my use. It's for a six servo wing with ailerons, flaps and air-brakes with a Vee tail.. I used the program before for a F3F model with a few changes but since I've added air brakes i...

I've found the new Vario download but in the PDF file it mentions a SPC (FrSky Smart Port Converter) to connect between the FrSky FrUSB-3 (USB) and the smart port, but i cannot find a SPC anywhere on the Frsky website ? Does it exist ?

Mine locks up on probably every flight, as Rob said cycling the vario appears to work most times, just a bit annoying... Mine seems to lock up around 50mtrs, not sure speed has any bearing at it tends to lock up straight from launch as I'm climbing in slope lift. There's mention of the firmware bug ...

SR71 get 1.43 as soon will be available (short time) Romolo, just upgraded Companion to 1.43, but, after loading a fresh copy of Rob eepe file, I still get a strange value in "Ail L" channel offsets: -509% instead of GV1. I am running Companion on WinXP SP3. and if you edit that try and e...

Thanks Rob, just what I wanted..

But, I think the V tail doesn't appear to work, or am I looking at it wrong..

Recently received my Taranis coming from a Futaba FF9 and having problems with programing my Ellipse F3F glider.. I've been looking at the various templates but none of them are the same that I use and I'm having problems trying to convert them I'd like crow brakes operated from the throttle, 3 flig...
