Re: OpenTx 2.2 RC7

That works for me in the simulator so I don't know what to tell you. Now I am testing with today's code self compiled with an explicit -Dtimers=3 but don't see that making any difference. Try it again in the next RC.

Re: OpenTx 2.2 RC7

I compile my own and only have two timers enabled, however, I have just compiled the current 2.2 branch with Timer 3 enabled and tested it in the X9D simulator and it works for me. Tested count down, count up, beep and voice call and they all worked. Exactly what are you trying to do and what is it ...

Re: OpenTx 2.2 RC7

I have opened an issue ( https://github.com/opentx/opentx/issues/4026 ) on Companion 2,2 using BMP instead of IMAGES and have submitted a patch to fix it. If the pull request is accepted it should be fixed in the next nightly.

I only use two timers so don't have timer 3 compiled in and can't test.

Re: OpenTx 2.2 RC7

Do you have the Pot types (S1 and S2) defined in the hardware page under Radio Settings on the radio or General Settings in Companion?

Edit: Images work for me in Companion 2.2 but you need to copy them from BMP to IMAGES on the SD card directory on the computer as well as on the radio.

Re: Taranis X9D and V8FR-II

Just to verify, this is a V8FR-II and not a V8FR? And you are binding in D-mode by jumpering the channel 1 and 2 signal pins and then applying battery, not V-mode by pressing the bind button? V mode is not supported on the Taranis, but a -II in D-mode should work.

Re: Battery voltage telemetry with D4R-II RX?

What do you have for the ratio on the A2 sensor? That is where you would adjust it. Ratio on 2.1 is what range was on 2.0 so 18.2 in ratio for the A2 sensor should get you close.

Re: openTX 2.1.8 - telemetry simulator - replay rate

From a quick look at the code it appears that it looks at the first 20 lines and takes the fastest time between any two entries as the base replay rate. Not sure of the reasoning behind that instead of a fixed default rate but I'm sure there was a reason because it takes more work to do it that way....

Re: Proper settings for battery monitoring?

On 2.1 what was range on 2.0 goes in the ratio field of the sensor. It should be 3.3 times the ratio of the divider (13.2 for 4:1). Divider resistors may vary so easiest way is to measure the voltage and tweak the ratio until it matches.

Since the D series hub sensors are discontinued I doubt support will get added for them, unless somebody with the skills to add them really wants them.

Those are D series sensors. The telemetry simulator only supports s-port devices. The receiver generated telemetry values (RSSI, A1, A2) get converted, I think by the module (Kilrah can correct me if I'm wrong), so anything with an ID of f10x and instance 25 should update from the replay, but the ot...

Turn off the switch that enables them. The are only logging while enabled. I enable them with my throttle kill switch. That way when I enable throttle it enables logs and when I kill throttle it stops the logs. That way I never forget to turn them on or off.
