Re: RPM resolution?

OK, sorry. If you want to try again later, just ask for. If you want, I could make some change to the code in order to force the sensor to send always a dummy value. If you Tx receives this value, then at least you should know that the communication works. The issue would then be in the way the RPM ...

Re: RPM resolution?

It is a good point that you continue trying to solve your issue. In your last post there was only one file content. I had expected that you would put 2 files (oXs_config_basic.h and oXs_config_advanced.h) In order to make it easier, I put here the 2 files that you should use. I already edited the &q...

Re: RPM resolution?

OK. No problem at all, It is your choice.

If you want to try again later, just let me know.

For info, as said, it is possible to edit the 2 files outside of arduino IDE and then to compile.
So it would for sure be possible to find a solution.

Re: RPM resolution?

I think I begin to understand your mistake. It seems you try to put every thing inside one single file (with a function setup() and a function loop() at the end). This is not good. In openXsensor projects the code is spread on quite are many diferent files (about 20 or more). First check that you fo...

Re: RPM resolution?

The files provided are foreseen for a receiver that support the Frsky Sport protocol. Your D8R-11 receiver does not support this protocol. This can explain why you do not get data on the Tx. For your receiver, you have to use the Frsky Hub protocol. You have to edit the oXs_config_basic.h file. Ther...

Re: RPM resolution?

OK.
There is no reason why you would not be able to finish the project.
You are probably just making a stupid mistake.

Look at Arduino tutorials and make exercises with basic sketches.
Good luck.

Re: First Jeti Sensor was a bust

Please note that even if it compiled, I do not think it will works because it is not foreseen to transmit the TEST1,2,3 fields in the Jeti protocol.

The TEST1, 2, 3 are foreseen for the Frsky protocol to reuse predefined telemetry fields for other purposes.
This has not been implemented for Jeti.

Re: First Jeti Sensor was a bust

In oXs_config_basic.h you have
#define A_MPU6050_IS_CONNECTED YES // select between YES , NO

Try using NO instead of YES (you do not have such a sensor; it could be that it blocks the program)

Normally oXs GPS works with Jeti.

Re: GY86 no IMU data but Baro still ok?

The GY86 has a voltage regulator (close to the hole). So, if you provide 5V on Vcc-in pin, you should get only 3.3V on the pin marked with 3.3V. The accelerometer/gyro are working on 3.3V and the GY86 has level converter on SCL and SDA signal in order to be able to communicate safely with an arduino...

I recommend using a resistor on the GPS RX pin in order to protect the GPS. I am not sure if it can support 5V. I know the some people seems not to use a resistor but I do not know if it is safe or not. When the data starts to flow, the voltage on D2/D4 will not really increase. It is a digital sign...

Re: GY-86 not working - am I missing something?

some more points about your tests with the "master" release:
- did you check that there where no other line in the config that asked for filling Test1 ,2 and 3 with other values than accelerations?
- if you rotate your sensor, does the accX and Y change in a logical way?

I expect that if you put the sensor quite close to a window and if you wait long enough (perhaps 5 min), the GPS could get a fix and the sensor should start sending the data
