Re: openXsensor test version

No, you actually you don't have to join them together to one big file. The .ino file is just the one file that is already there and that you have to open in the arduino IDE. It will include all the files automatically based on the configuration you choose when you compile it. The new openXsensor is ...

Where do you learn how to do this? I downloaded the files through raw files one at a time. They compile ok in arduno. I put an SVN reader on my win xp but do not know if it is needed or how to use it. in my opinion you only need a SVN client if you want to develop yourself. In future releases i am ...

Re: Introduction to the openx vario/altimeter

You can use the Frsky dashboard, it supports the oXv/oXs. You will get altitude information, cyclic voice readouts, you can add a voltage divider for voltage measurements. And I guess/hope espen will implement the vario as well in one of the future releases. Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk...

openXsensor test version

As mentioned before, i am working on a new version of the oXv called openXsensor. i did not have the time to create wiki entries or other documentation, but in case you want to give it a try, you can download all the files from here: https://code.google.com/p/openxvario/source/browse/#svn%2Fbranches...

Re: Introduction to the openx vario/altimeter

Hi Gryse,
Welcome to the board!
i used the oXv together with frsky dashboard. it worked fine, but you will be missing the vario sound.
The oXv does not support decoding the ppm stream for servos.

Re: OpenXVario HOTT Support

Hi Jochen,
the upcoming new version called openXsensor will have exchangeable output modules, so technically only one class has to be adapted. i don't have any Graupner HW, so we would need somebody with the HW to give it a try. If you want to try, i would be willing to help you.

Re: Advancement of the telemetry protocoll

Slight aside, I wondered about the consumed capacity. Do you really need 65Ah? I was thinking put this in the FUEL field, with the MSb set and the remaining 15 bits as 0-32767 mAh. This would be easy to detect instead of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 of the FrSky fuel sensor. Mike. i am actually transferri...

How about the following idea: we choose how many new generic data fields we want. some are 16bits big, some are 32 bit. each will be presented as 1(low precision=16 bits) or 2 (High precision=32 bits) new IDs in the protocol We then take one additional new ID to use as the setup ID. this ID transmit...

Re: Advancement of the telemetry protocoll

I think we already tested using the high IDs, but we didn't receive anything on module side! Must be double checked. On stock board I am also in favor of reusing the IDs. If we don't do that, we will have to implement a new routine to decode and store the telemetry data. It will cost flash ... Now ...

Re: Advancement of the telemetry protocoll

Given that FrSky are going down the SPORT route, they are unlikely to add to the existing HUB sensors or to those sensors that send serial data using the HUB protocol without the hub. There are a number of currently unused IDs in the HUB protocol, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 29, 30, 31, 32 as far...

yes, but still this would not provide new telemetry fields to transfer pre-calculated data like mAh. For data coming from a sensor using a pic , ardiuno or whatever, there would probably not be the demand for offset multiplier and divisor, this would apply more for anaolg inputs.

Re: Advancement of the telemetry protocoll

Basic question: I know that the receiver repackages the data that it reads via its own serial input. As an example, the datastream that the FrSky Sensor Hub sends to the receiver has a different protocol than the protocol the receiver sends via rf to the ground station. So, does the receiver really...

if e.g. ram is too limited to have user definable names for fields, wouldn't it be possible to use companion to add those field names to the Flash before programming? via defines on the compile server or via direct modification of the binary?
