You can't control volume with a GVAR. You could create a ticket for this. You also can't access model-properties from a Global Function (not sure if that was your plan) Maybe you are already satisfied with 2 volume states: SF1 ON Volume MAX on SF2 L01 Volume S2 on By default you would have maximum v...

There are special glues that withstand higher temperatures and I used one in the past to glue the engine of my motorbike. It had a hole after I fell with it. The trick with these glues is that they not only withstand higher temperatures but they also expand and contract the same as the materials for...

I bought an Orange module 2 months ago and it is working fine after I flashed it with Mike's firmware using my Taranis. I bought it really because I had some problems getting the Banggood multi module to work. I bought a 2nd one and I have that working fine. I don't really need the Orange module any...

Ah...
That explains.... I saw the "CK" in JTCK and wrongfully assumed it was the clock-signal.


Edit:

I just swapped the cables on the micro-JST cable and flashed it again. Now serial communication is working.

It seems communication isn't working. All 0000's stay 0000's I have just checked with a logic analyzer and the signals are delivered to the pins. There's also a 3.3V delivered on the pin. There is no reaction of the Orange Module during flashing (no LEDs). Contrary to your advice I supplied the 3.3V...

Heated up the soldering iron, opened up the Orange module...... Turns out my Orange module already has these 2x 10 ohm resistors already in place.... I now again think it might not be properly flashed. Is there a way to determine this? As I wrote before, it seemed to flash fine. I just don't know if...

Thanks Kilrah... I didn't do my homework properly as it seems. I will do this tomorrow morning and report.

The multimodule code supports both PPM and serial in, but the module may need a hardware mod (just adding a resistor) to accept serial. See details at the bottom of the first post. It probably does... But as I understood it this only applied to the blue PCB. I'm now off on my only day of flying of ...

I chose this morning to flash my recently acquired Orange module (green board). I (think) I followed the complete procedure, but in the end it doesn't work as I inspect it to. I connected the Orange module to my Taranis using a 4-pin micro-JST on the Taranis motherboard. I also used the 3.3V pin. I ...

Thanks Mike...
All I need to know...
Again, thanks for all your work you did and are still doing

@Mike... How frequent will you most likely be updating the firmware of this module? I'm asking because I have already soldered a micro-JST connector in my Taranis and I'm considering to expose it in the battery bay. But if it's unlikely there will be frequent updates I can open up my radio, upgrade ...

I have a whole collection of micro-JST connectors. Can't I just solder a 4-pin one (I think it's the 1mm one) on my Taranis plus and connect that to the Orange module and start flashing with your latest firmware? On the other side I could have 4 header pins which (as described by Mike) I could bend ...

Thanks both....
I will try a resistor after I get back from holiday

Sorry for being slightly OT. I'm placing it here because it gives me the best chance of getting a good reply. I have implemented an Allegro current sensor on the analog input of my SP Racing F3 flight controller. Because it has a max 3.3V input I decided to supply the Allegro sensor with a 3.3V as w...

Is there any standard pinout for i2c on a micro-JST out should I just connect it in a way in that I don't make any damage when i plug in the GPS-sensor accidentally?

I appreciate all the help I'm getting

I already have an OpenXsensor with barometer, IMU and GPS and I like it. I'm currently making a new one. I use a 4-pin micro-JST (1mm) connector for the GPS so I can always use it without it. I was planning to use the 2nd option (electronic compensation), but I may just call it off. The OpenXsensor ...

I recently ordered some barometer sensors which I want to use in combination with an OpenXsensor that has a GY-86 with barometer. All this time I've been thinking on which model I should put this. I didn't want to make a hole in the fuselage of one of my DLG's. It ruins a bit of the aerodynamics and...

Thanks mstrens... I have enough difficulties to overcome as is, so I'm not ready yet to wander in uncharted territory yet..

What would you recommend? Modify an ordinary i2c barometer with a tube?

For a while I have this in my Aliexpress cart http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ardupilot-Arduplane-Air-Speed-meter-Sensor-Gauge-with-Differential-Pitot-Tube-for-APM-2-5-2/32464337467.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.261.M9GCjv I never bought it because I don't know which model I can put it on, nor am I...

It seems that Spektrum is using i2c for their sensors.
I don't have Spektrum, so I wouldn't know.
Could these sensors be connected to the i2c-bus on the Arduino that is also used to connect the sensor boards?

What pins are they using and what is the layout?

I totally agree with Kalle... My first Arduino project (not that long ago) was a head tracker. The first worked, but was wonky. I build a 2nd one with more care and it was less wonky, but still not reliable. Then I made a 3rd one that did exactly what I expected. I already bought from several vendor...

The Orange sensor board is now as cheap as a DIY.

Yes...

I've heard about the 16 MHz versions having no problems with lower voltage

But what about the signal levels?
I assume I need run the i2c levels on the same voltage as the Arduino does.

When I was young I stopped electronics because it became more and more digital... I'm now doing catch-up.

I would like to start implementing your idea of using the i2c-bus externally. On the openXsensor I want to put a mini JST connector so I have some standardization. Shouldn't I also add a 3.3V voltage regulator on the openXsensor to feed these i2c-sensors? I was thinking about using a 1mm 4pin JST-co...

After I receive that Orange Current sensor I will know if that connector is a JST 1mm or a JST 1.25mm Would that be a good choice for my standard analog sensor input on openXsensor? I'm also thinking of soldering such a sensor (not the Orange, but the current sensor) directly on the ESC which saves ...

The variometer is in fact a barometer and it measures the air pressure. The higher you go the less air pressure. This barometer measures very small differences of this air pressure. Of course the air pressure varies over time as well even if it's at the same height. All in all, the method to use a b...

So why not start connecting the current sensor to an analog input of the Arduino, you will get a 0.1 A resolution. Everything in oXs is ready to use it this way. You are right... I will probably do it that way. I might as well just use such an Orange sensor which has this analog out. It only needs ...

Based on your ideas I'm now planning to use a 100A unidirectional current sensor together with 2 ADS1115's and modify an ESC (no extra connectors). I already have the 5V there from the ESC (but maybe I use the one coming from the openXsensor which gets it from the SPORT-connector) I could make my ow...

I recently noticed these and they were almost the same as I was planning to make it for my own openXsensor. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__63451__Current_Sensor_for_OrangeRx_Telemetry_System.html I already bought several 100A sensors (unidirectional) and was planning to connect these in ...

I just ordered 4 of these ADS1115 I still have to build my 1st openXsensor, but want to have all parts before I heat up the soldering iron. I bought those ACS712 a few months ago, but never did anything with it because I didn't expect to get any decent info out of it (wanted to use the analog input)...
