Well, if you change model by mistake (which is kinda hard anyway) with a model on you're in trouble anyway, pulses or not... stopping the pulses might actually be safer as it at least wouldn't start your motor or something...bertrand35 wrote:Today it's only at power on.

Re: New features provided by open9x
Any plans to put this back in? When using flight modes with independent trims, if the physical trim changes (either because of repair or temperature on nylon push-rods), it is a pain to get trims fixed up again in all the phases... especially while flying!bertrand35 wrote:Removed today:
- The trims to offsets function. I do like the "Instant Trim" function which copies sticks positions to trims. But not when they are moved to the channels offsets. Moreover this functionnality was completely wrong in all firmwares I tried when dealing with recursive mixers (it calls perOut and modifies the static variables in it...)
Bertrand.
Had this happen after a repair: thought I had trim dialed in, but turns out had way too much down elevator. Had to fight to keep my sailplane in the air while fixing up the trims... this was especially hard when the lift went soft and I had to switch to landing mode!
What would be nice is to be able to program the trainer switch (pull and *hold*) with a function to copy/add the current trim settings into the offsets. That way, I can trim in "normal" flight mode, hit the switch, and not worry about trim when I switch to speed, land, or launch mode.

Re: New features provided by open9x
Yes, this is done. The function was back since some months and fixed (rewritten). You will find it in the LIMITS menu. So you "InstantTrim" during flight and use this function after flight.

I don't get it exactly. In Func Switches there is a function "Instant Trim" which I don't get to work. Is this obsolete?bertrand35 wrote:Yes, this is done.

Bertrand.
On the other hand, in Limits menu there is a "Trims=>Offsets" feature at the bottom which might work for normal flight phase. But be aware when you do it in special flight phases: the flight phase trims become to offsets, trims are zeroed and (all?) other flight phases trims are translated! correct but confusing. The remedy is probabely to go to normal flight mode and do the same thing again. Then the trim offsets are correct again (All tested in c9x). Not a big issue in the workshop, but on the field/in the air? This is not a security issue but I would be pretty f****d up to interprete my trim settings afterwards.

Re: New features provided by open9x
Here is what you have to do.
Use the function system to assign 'instant trim' to a switch.
When you use the switch, the trim offsets settings are stored in a temporary memory variable.
After your flight.. visit 'limits'.
At the bottom of your limits list is an option to apply the 'offsets' you saved when instant trim was activated.
This is much safer as the actual application of the perminant offset is done when safely on the ground!

Re: New features provided by open9x
To synthetise:
- InstantTrim => transfers sticks positions to trims (you will see them moving on screen)
Is used during flight
- Trims => Offssets => transfers trims (of the current flight phase) to offsets.
Should be used after flight when being in the default flight phase

Re: New features provided by open9x
Just downloaded the latest c9x, installed the latest open9x that it gives me for stock 9x, speaker and telemetry,
r936. I cannot get any alarm on A1, and I only have 1 telemetry setup screen (10/10)
What am I doing wrong, I'm sure it's me!
Thanks,
Clive

Re: New features provided by open9x
Yes I have, thanks for that, but no matter what I do, I cannot seem to get an A1 alarm
Re: New features provided by open9x
How have you set it?
Re: New features provided by open9x
what type of alarm you try to set?
1. alarms from Frsky DHT/DIY module beeper (Yellow/Orange/Red - 1/2/3 beeps)
2. alarms from T9x beeper/speaker/vibra motor
with 1st i had problem between ATmega64 TX pin to RX input of FrskyLite TTL converter. Resistor 3k must be there. Everybody write only 470ohm but then this ATmega was not able to program the Frsky module for A1,A2,RSSI yelow,orange,red alarms.
maybe post here your eepe file. And yes there is only one telemetry setup screen with many options scroll-able down (10/10, if no heli anf no templates).

Re: New features provided by open9x
Have set the range to 13.2v, which gives me 5v indicated, and reads correctly on telemetry screen.
Set the alarm red, orange or yellow <5.5v and it doesn't work.
Just reflashed er9x and all is well. Ah just noticed it only works with Pispkr set, not with
Beeper setting (er9x) I have no speaker.

Re: New features provided by open9x
Sounds like the problem gbirkus described then.
Open9x and er9x in beeper mode configure the FrSky module so that it plays the alarms, but er9x in PiSpkr mode plays the alarms itself through the radio's speaker. So it seems indeed that your connection between the radio and the FrSky module doesn't work.

Re: New features provided by open9x
Ok, I'm using your mod exactly, and it appears to have 470 ohms in the rx line already.
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=430&p=4778&hilit=without+ttl#p4778
I'll try another 2.5k in series and report back.
Thanks for your help chaps!

Re: New features provided by open9x
Did you remember to cut the trace? Because that's what would happen if you didn't.
470 Ohm should be OK, adding more would likely only make it worse.

Re: New features provided by open9x
Yep, just double checked my work. I read 1k across the new resistor. The blue wire does go to the lower end, not the via?
P.S. Switched it on tonight, and it's working perfectly! Don't know what
that was all about, maybe the bleeper itself was stuck..perhaps.

Re: New features provided by open9x
One new feature I would like to see from the gurus of the code -- the ability to assign a pot or switch to audio level -- so when an alarm is or timer or whatever is droning on -- it could be silenced while I concentrate on landing.

Flight pack capacity feature has been added in the version we released yesterday. Also FrSky current sensor is supported now. You will choose the Current source in the TELEMETRY screen.

Re: New features provided by open9x
Many ways to do it ... What about this one:
- you may change the value within the range [0:23] using the keys as today
- you press [MENU LONG], you see a contextual menu which proposes to switch between "Value" and "Channel" (or "Register", I don't know what is the best word for it)
- when choosing "Value", you are in the mode we have today
- when choosing "Channel", you see the Mixer sources (you may choose P1 or CH32 or whatever!). In this mode the range [-100:+100] is reduced proportionnally to the parameter range [0:23]
Any ameliorations? Different ideas?

Re: New features provided by open9x
I would like the option to choose a low and high level for a switch.
Using a mixer can be very interesting in some telemtry situations though!

Re: New features provided by open9x
It's already there, it's called a differential
Bertrand.
Bertrand.
Re: New features provided by open9x
Great idea to use the differential.
But with using mixers for everything asks for labels for mixers.
With a lot of mixers (gliders) it would be great to have labels. Like "Audio" or "Flap R".
A 3 char label would already a great help.
And an other idea I had was showing the mixers for a particular flight fase only. So flight the flight fase switch and only see the active mixers for that flight fase. The same could be done for the dual rates.
Sorry that I only ask for more, but I get enthousiast by such great development work of you guyes!

Re: New features provided by open9x
For the labels, it's easy enough. I could add it quickly.
For showing the Flight Phases Mixes it's a little bit more complicated to implement, but it's another good idea. Perhaps a contextual menu with items "FP Mixes" or "All Mixes", which would change what is displayed?
So ... 2 new enhancement request then to create in the issues page of the project!

Re: New features provided by open9x
WOW, that is fast!!
The context menu to switch between views is a good idea!
I think "All mixers", "Current flightfase" and "Active mixers" would be good.
"Active mixers could help when you don't have flight fases.
