Hi, @mstrens, You'll find attached my modified version of OXS: - MCP9700A temp sensor support added - Some parameters added in oxs_config.h (arduino vcc, temp sensor related, debug related...) - oxs_arduino renamed with oxs_voltage - numerous little cosmetics mods I hope you'll find these mods inter...

Hi,

When you connect the radio in bootloader mode to the PC with the USB cable, 2 removable disks should appear (one named "TARANIS") in your file browser.

Then, Companion will recognize the Taranis.

If you don't get these removable disks, that's a windows problem...

I've written oxs_temp.h and .cpp files for the MCP9700A sensor, it seems to work fine :) They still need to polished, then I will forward them to you. Just one thing, I'd like to get 1 decimal after the point but it must be on the OpenTX side I guess ? I retrieved the MS5611 temperature with varioDa...

Hi,

I'm progressing with my temp sensor integration and while doing so, I wondered if the files oxs_arduino.h and oxs_arduino.cpp could not be renamed as oxs_voltage.x because that's all they are doing, measuring voltages

It could probably be done with processing, like the MultiwiiConf...

Just tested with Taranis + servos and it doesn't disable trims...

Anyway, don't you think it could be interesting to display the trims values on this line ?

Hi,

I don't know if this line is a function or anything and how to use it: when I press ENT nothing happens but the I'm stuck on this line until I press EXIT
And thinking about it, it could be used to display the trims values according to flight modes...

Bye

@ mstrens,

Ok, thanks.

@mstrens, I've already started to create .h and .cpp files for the temperature sensor based on the current (A) sensor implementation. If I fail, I'll do what you've suggested ;) I understand better the MS5611 drifting now and I'd like to compare myself the temperature from the MS5611 and my temp sen...

Yes, I've already read oxs_config.h but if you look at the code I've posted, there is a compensation error calculation and I don't think I could use it with the current OXS code. By the way, this temp sensor should have a 0.5°C precision so perhaps it could be used to compensate the drifting of the ...

Hi, I've mounted an OXS with an arduino pro mini 3.3v 8MHz and a MS5611 GY-63 board. It seems to work as it should on the workbench, excellent !! Now, I'm playing with a MCP9700A temperature sensor and I'd like to integrate it in OXS, I've come up with this code, which I've tested on an arduino UNO:...

Ok, Just to figure out how it could be so complicated to install a driver, I've just made all the process on a fresh win 8.1 VM and it went flawlessly... ;) I've strictly followed the instructions from the link I've posted and no problem ! Would you describe what you're doing exactly ? On a side not...

Hi,

Just follow the points n° 1, n° 4 (without letting windows install anything) and n° 5 of the post above yours.

Hi,
Now they are called Special Functions and "Cnsp" is the value you want to be played to get consumption

Hi,

You clearly don't have the bootloader so you have to flash your radio in DFU mode, it means: radio switched off then plug the USB cable.
More details here: http://www.open-tx.org/2013/08/22/opent ... manual-en/ in the paragraph "Flashing your Taranis radio"

@rug,

I understand that you want a global variable to be valid across several flight modes at the same time.

If so, it's indeed possible, as an example: Tchao

You will have to compile yourself for the moment

Hi,
Thanks mstrens, I can't try right away but as soon as can, I let you know if it works

The allegro ACS712 datasheet says 4.5v minimum, and current sensors that work with 3.3v do exist (ACS716...). There is no particular advantage, lower consumption but it's not critical, just the possibility to use only 1 lipo cell. I'm planning to put an oxs in a mini DLG powered with...1 lipo cell ;)

@mstrens, If 8MHz could be sufficient for oxs to operate normally, I think we should take the opportunity to make oxs compatible with those arduino pro mini 3.3v 8MHz with some clean code ;) @Mike, Yes, that's what I read in the datasheet, so I stay with my first idea of 3.3v and 8MHz with 1 lipo. W...

Thanks for your answers, I will try to get it to work.

I don't need all the functionalities of oxs, vario and some temp sensors, perhaps voltage...

Yes, there is a chance that arduino 16MHz could run with 3.5v but I would prefer to give it a stable 3.3v and use it as a reference for analog ports.

Hi, Look at what I've done in the MINITITANmod model: - I've reordered the flight modes so that Autorot takes precedence over the others - I've simplified your Inputs page because the settings were driven by GVARS themselves driven by the flight modes - I've replaced some switches in the mixers with...

Hi, I've pushed a little the work that RaptorSense has already done in "Aserial.cpp" and tried to adapt AD converter prescale factor to different clock speed: void init() { // Timer1 TIMSK1 &= ~( 1<< OCIE1A ) ; TCCR1A = 0x00 ; //Init. TCCR1B = 0xC1 ; // I/p noise cancel, rising edge, C...

Hi,

I'm really interested in using an OXS at 3.3v - 8Mhz in a dlg glider powered by a single lipo.

Could this setting be included in the oxs_config.h or could it be automatic ?

Thanks.

Hi Tchao, Hi Sinan (I hope it's your name :) ), First, my name is David, "Tchao" is my way of saying bye, it comes from the italian ciao :mrgreen:   Setting a dead-zone could be simplified with a simple check box at the vario configuration. Something like this: Variometer Source [VSpd] Li...

@RaptorSense, Thanks for your explanations, I had manage to understand your setup ;) I know how to set a dead-band with LSs, it's very convenient but my point was that this central beeping zone isn't useful at all IMHO and that it was complicating setups unnecessarily. Moreover, I could make good us...

Yes, that's almost (-5 0 0 +5) what I will try next + a switch position with only positive beeps.


PS: Just for fun :

Hi, First of all, I didn't tried the vario function with any other firmware than 2.0.x because I just began using the Taranis. Before, I was using my own vario tones generator connected to a FrSky DJT with a home made vario plug in a FrSky D8R. The vario settings in the General Edit / Setup tab are ...

Case and point. I had a flight today that recorded 3150 mah used. charging up the batteries (they were fresh charged before the flight) they accepted 3477 mah. Cells averaged 3.75v after flight - but I don't think that's even relevant. The flight was 9 minutes 38 seconds. Hi, Bear in mind that batt...

Hi, I've experienced a strange thing tonight. I had just flashed the Taranis in bootloader mode with Companion (no errors) and I unplugged the USB cable directly at the radio without having properly ejected the 2 drives mounted (don't know if it has something to do...). I took the Taranis to exit th...
