iNav telemetry via 9XR Pro / XJT / Bluetooth

[rsilk49]

My current build is using Inav so I was interested to see if telemetry could be displayed on the 9XR Pro. Up to now, I have been using Arduplane.

It took some time to sort the wiring between the F411 the R-XSR, and iNav settings for
the receiver and Smartport, but eventually I was able to show Fvas and Amps on the telemetry pages using Frsky telemetry Protocol (it also worked with ArduP).

Only a few other sensors can be displayed but that is not vital to me especially now I have found a great Android app (iNav Smartport Telemetry viewer) which displays everything overlaid on Google Maps. It does need a BT module paired to your Android phone/tablet and a simple Sbus inverter between the BT module and an S. Port connecter on the radio (I used the connection on the XJT module).

ErskyTX supports installing a Bluetooth device HC-05 internally in the 9XR-PRO, and send telemetry data, and some other type of data.

If the internal BT module can broadcast uninverted Smartport data, the viewer app should be able to display it.

Well, I guess that only Mike can answer.

An internal BT module is able to send the telemetry data as received, it will be non-inverted.
