Re: New beta version of openXsensor (=openXvario)
A4 and A5 (i2c bus) is OK for both. They are differentiated by the i2c adress.

Re: openXsensor slimsize GPS Vario for DLG and F5J
Hi Is there any chance to get the information what had to be changed to get it running with Telemetry Viewer? What's the different in S.port information/protocol between Standard Frsky and this version. Regards Chris Hi, here is a complete sketch, ready to flash. T1 and T2 are manipulated to simula...

Re: New beta version of openXsensor (=openXvario)
Airspeed is not foreseen in hub-protocol. It should be possible to send airspeed using other fields like T1. But it is not prepared. It is eventually much easier to flash D-RX with D16 firmware: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3391195-FrSky-D16-firmware-for-D8-receivers&perpage=20#pos...

Re: OpenXSensor vario configuration
Your MS5611 seems to be OK since your VSpd (not compensated) is calm. Your MS4525 airspeed data seems also OK. Running the attached V4.0 firmware should result in a similar compensated VSpd with low noise (+/-0.1m/s). To crosscheck again I can flash the sketch you used in your test and report back. ...

Re: OpenXSensor vario configuration
This is a logfile with V4 I've just made. SC is switching between not compensated (1) and compensated VSpd (-1). There is +/- 0.1m/s noise in compensated mode (when airspeed is about constant) and no noise in not compensated mode. Sensitivity was 60% and compensation 110% in this case. If you test w...

Re: OpenXSensor vario configuration
You are right. I've crosschecked with the 2016 version and compensated VSpd is indeed not useable. Now I remember I was using this version for glider performance measurement only. Then I've flashed back to 4.0 and everything worked as foreseen. Seems the newer versions are missing some filtering for...

Re: OpenXSensor vario configuration
Presumably you should test an older known working version now. Please find attached a 2016 oXs sketch which should work with your configuration out of the box. 2016 there was only one config file (config.h) but you will see a similar structure.

Re: OpenXSensor vario configuration
With the sensitivity dialed down to 20, airspeed fixed at 38kts with a syringe (but still fluctuating, might indicate a problem with the sensor), compensation at 82%, vspeed jumping between -0,4 and +0,4 m/s Hmm, there is something wrong, airspeed and VSpd should be stable in your setup, even with ...

Re: OpenXSensor vario configuration
At rest, no airspeed, I get readings between zero and roughly 6. This is pretty normal. Variation decreases exponential with increasing airspeed. Imo it is better to simulate airspeed inhouse with a static pressure applied to the dynamic port of the MS4525. Vspeed should be nearly deadcalm inhouse ...

Re: OpenXSensor vario configuration
It is actually not intended that way. #define VSPEED_SOURCE FIRST_BARO selects standard VSpeed from first physical baro sensor. MS5611 in your case. #define VSPEED_SOURCE AIRSPEED_COMPENSATED selects airspeed compensated VSpeed #define VSPEED_SOURCE PPM_SELECTION allows to switch between the two VSp...

This is strange. Airspeed data should not change at all if the vario data source is changed. Please upload your config files.

Re: OpenXSensor vario configuration
What I want to look into is sending out a telemetry value with the name "compensation" and send the exact value, so I can read it on my X10S radio directly. There are two different ways imo: Activate #define FILL_TEST_2_WITH_PPM_AIRSPEED_COMPENSATION and transmit TEST_2 in a T1/T2 field and change ...

Re: OpenXSensor vario configuration
oXs is able to send PWM (PPM) back in a telemetry field. T1 or T2 is a good choice. With a suitable offset and ratio OpenTX should show compensation % directly. On my side I was happy with the PWM value since I adjust compensation acoustically. But you are right, it is smarter to convert it in compe...

In order to avoid the rapid up and down, you can set the trigger point for the landing phase so that there is never an upward movement due to the switchover.

Hi John Yes, third board is an Arduino pro mini 328 16MHz. It is also possible to use an Arduino Nano which has USB onboard with only a little weight and size penalty. Nano is preferable for beginners if size is negligible. If you are only looking for a 100A sensor without the need of 0.02A resoluti...

Re: RPM resolution?
A 100pF ceramic cap connected to (D)8 and GND solved a similar issue for me. Interference was presumably caused by RX telemetry. OpenTX filtering should not be neccessary imo.

Re: two current sensors on one arduino
Indeed there is only one slot for current data. But a few for voltage. A workaround is to scale and transmit the voltage output of a 2nd current sensor and change unit and name in OpenTX later.

Re: openXsensor slimsize GPS Vario for DLG and F5J

Re: GPS only - troubles with latest version
255 is perfect, since it is 2.55 * 100
The ratio for factor 1 is:
Precision 0 --> 255 (Temp)
Precision 1 --> 25.5 (e.g. Current)
Precision 2 --> 2.55 (e.g. Acc)
Took me some years to find out
