Does OpenTX support timer up + beep

Post by offers »

Hi

I like to have the timer to beep me after 8min, but i need to to count up!
So i will know when i land the total flight time.
Can i do that in openTX?

I moved from ER9x a while ago, and there it is possible.

Note: the other time used for different thing.

I haven't tested this, but it should be possible to do with a custom switch.

Set the switch to timer > 8:00, with a limited duration, and then use that switch to play a sound.

Just tested, and it works! I had to set another switch to < time, and use AND so the beeping would stop at a set time as well.

There are two timers available.

Set timer two to a starting value of 00:00. And assign a trigger to turn it on. A switch?

The timer will then count upward!
Slope Soaring, FPV, and pretty much anything 'high tech'
...........if you think it should be in the wiki.. ask me for wiki access, then go add it!
