Re: New to openXsensor - GPS and smartport question

Your work seems OK. oXs does not send GPS data to Sport as long as the GPS does not get a good fix. It can take several minutes to get the fix. Please note that the BN220 has a led that shows when the GPS get a fix but there are several levels of fix. Usually, you have to wait a little more (30 sec?...

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

What are the values that you get for offsets? They should normally not be far away from 0 (I expect in range -3000 , +3000) Did you proceed as explained in the file oXs_config_description.h ? * - after startup, terminal should, every 2 or 3 sec, display Acc followed by 3 numbers being respectively A...

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

Yes, I expect it is just with the serial output. Serial output does not work because DEBUG option is not automatically activated. It seems that the reason is that in your config advanced file you have this line #include "oXs_config_macros.h" This line does not exist anymore in the latest v...

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

So, it means that DEBUG option is not activated.
Normally, this option is activated automatically if you oXs_config_advanced.h file have this line uncommented
//#define DISPLAY_ACC_OFFSET

It was uncommented in the file you posted here above.
Was it still uncommented in the test you just made?

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

It should work with an Uno instead of a Pro mini.

Your config seems OK.

Does you get some messages on Arduino serial terminal when the UNO is reset? (I presume you know how to open the serial terminal, select the COM port, set the baudrate on 112500.
Can you report the message you get.

It is not clear what type you are using. In your message you refer to GY63 and to IMU calibration. The GY63 module does have an IMU. It has only a MS5611 (baro sensor). Please clarify if you are using a GY63 or a GY86. If you are using a GY86, please declare your first baro sensor as a GY86. For inf...

Re: GPS only - troubles with latest version

ACC x, y z have a special handling in openTX (due to Frsky original sensor). The displayed value are the transmitted one divided by 100. That explains that you have to apply this strange coef. To avoid it, you could send the 2 data as Temp1 and Temp2 instead of Accx and Accy. Fore Temp1 and Temp2, o...

Re: New to openXsensor - GPS and smartport question

Adding // in front or removing the line is just the same when compiling.
If you think, it could make sense to reactivate the line later on, it is better to add //.

Re: RPM resolution?

Indeed 4 means D4. An opto coupler would be good but I do not know if your pulse have enough power to drive it. An opto coupler needs usually about 5/10 mA at the input side. To protect the arduino pin, you can also add a diode between the divider (if any) and the 5V vcc in order to limit the voltag...

Yo do not need to use the configurator. You can just edit manually the 2 files oXs_config.basic.h and oXs_config_advanced.h. Just change the YES/NO options and some parameters according to your need. All the lines needed for the setup already exist in those 2 files. So no need to copy/paste from oXs...
