Hi
I've recently built a Openx gps sensor following this thread here
http://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic ... 86&t=10472

No one was more surprised than me when it actually worked. All picked up Ok in adding new sensors on my Taranis.

I have now tried to add a vario using a GY-63 board, I connected it up to the same Arduino board as the GPS but i can't get it to function, reading through the various threads on here I seem to think I need to enable the code somehow.

What do I need to do to get it to work ?

Cheers

If you are using the elder oXs version from your link (still OK, but there were some changes meanwhile), simply change one line in oXs_config.h, delete the comment "//":

// ***** 4.1 - Connecting 1 or 2 MS5611 barometric sensor *****
//#define VARIO // set as comment if there is no vario

into

// ***** 4.1 - Connecting 1 or 2 MS5611 barometric sensor *****
#define VARIO // set as comment if there is no vario

and it should work immediately, like GPS did, correct wiring provided

If you are using the recent oXs master, it is this line in oXs_config_basic.h :

// ***** 4.1 - Connecting 1 or 2 barometric sensor(s) *****
#define FIRST_BARO_SENSOR_USE MS5611

Brilliant, worked first time. I didn't realise that the oxs_config.h file worked in conjunction with the openXsensor software on the Arduino..

Thanks for you help.. It now all starts to fall into place...

Now i have a working GPS with Vario
