Great first post!! Longer and thinner for a DLG or anything that doesn't have much space would be nice, but the board is pretty small as it is. Depends how much work the OP is willing to put in on this and his ideas for development. Have soldered a few Atmel chips that size and they are not that bad...

Works great for me with V2.017. Setting up multi flight modes on 2 x 3 pos switchs and can see where everything is.

You have been busy!!

Just found this. Much better late than never. Thank you.
Bill

Really cool. Congratulations!!

Should the tiny app be updated/upgraded for all flavors of software, or only ERSKY9x?

I have channel 8 switching screens on my minimOSD and it works.
Super complicated mix
CH8 TRN 100
This is with OpenTX.
Maybe I'm using too much KISS but it does work
Bill

Have you turned off warnings in minimOSD? If you have a warning activate, it will force you back to screen 1, and looks like the screen switch isn't working. Just a thought.
Bill

Your eyes are more sensitive than your ears for this.
Bill

Go to the mixer screen for the model that you are setting up. Select Channel 8, set the weight as 100 and the source as TRN. Each time you flip the TRN switch and hold for a couple seconds, it will cycle the OSD to the next screen. Have you looked at the minumExtra setups? http://code.google.com/p/m...

I'm also running 5V in from my receiver, and so far it all seems to be working ok on a Pro Mini.
Recall that comment about "Rain Dance". Think I'm going to add a brolly to my tool box.

Reset/configuration switch???? I think I'm going to practice patience!!! Looks really good.
Bill

I have one of the FrSky voltage sensors/dividers so could hook that up. I will see how busy/patient I am.
Bill

I'm plugging into channel 8 on my receiver to get power and sensitivity control. The voltage reading from the openXvario is 5V, because my receiver is powered by a BEC. That information doesn't help a lot. The Mini can take upto 12V raw input, is there a way I can connect to my 3S or 4S battery and ...

In your spreadsheet you have "MinCurrentMilliamps" as the header for 4 different columns. Is that correct or a typo?
Just curious.
This project started out as something "relatively" simple, and has grown exponentially since then. Do you have some more surprises waiting?
Bill

That does make sense. Now I have something to use that switch for!!
Bill

Thanks for the hint. Did some digging in the Taranis manual and got it working. Went to "Custom Function" menu, set the switch to be "ON" and the "Function" to be "Vaio" and now I have tones. Took me 2 tries to get anything to work at all with the OpenXvario. ...

Found it. It's a configurable setting in the sketch, by default set to "T2", and it works.
Now if someone can point me to how to get the sound going, I'll be a really happy camper.
Bill

Got my OpenXvario built and working today!! Thanks to all who have made this possible. I do have a question. How do I get the sound played on my transmitter? I saw the comment about looking in OpenTX, but I don't have a clue where to start. I am running a Sky9x board. Any help, links, config files I...

Just finished building my OpenXvario. And it works :). I would like to use a dedicated channel, linked to a pot to control the sensitivity. Got that setup and with a servo connected to the channel, it moves with the pot. I would like to see the sensitivity on screen. What field do I use for display?...

That does help me, although I didn't ask the question. You're good!!

I have searched this site and looked through all the menus many times but can't get any data transfer happening using bluetooth. I am running Open9x I have a V3 Sky9x board and a JY-MCU bluetooth module. Programed the JY-MCU to 115,200 and was able to pair, but no data with my Android tablet. Checke...

I'll go with Crucial's comment. Smaller is (mostly) better
Bill

A wild guess. Was the one from HK a 60 cm antenna? The long ones are set up like that. Interchangeable with the other antennas.
Bill

For Canadian orders, as long as they go USPS then no problems, however if UPS or Fedex are used, we get charged customs duty + brokerage fees. I've had to pay $80 on a $150 order, so you can understand if we try and stay away from those guys.

Just cut it all off and plug the hole. Simple. Works.
Bill

Thanks, it was just an idea. I have a spare display anyway, but an upgrade would be great.

Bill

Its just a better quality display , very easy to read , with or without backlight. It is still 64x128 , comes with a built in LED backlight. Easy to get from Digikey or Mouser. -Brent I don't recall this being asked before, but if the new board can run with the new display, or the old one, is there...

Does that mean that you have some(1) available now? Would be interested.
