Hi Kilrah,
Thank you.
This helped a lot.
I added a return 1 at the end of my script and I don't have the script syntax error anymore and the script worked.
My question now is what is the best way to guaranty a one-time script? With a return other than 0 or something else?

Re: LUA and openTx
Hi all, I'm struggling with lua scripts. Here is a problem I have. I wrote a lua script and I can run it successfully in the telemetry page and from any screen display. No error messages whatsoever and the script works well. But if I try to run the script from the SD card using with the execute comm...

LUA and openTx
Hi, I'm building a motor thrust meter setup and would like to automate the entire process using my Taranis X9D+ (openTx), an Rx+ ESC + Lipo and LUA scripts. Can anyone can help me about about how to control the throttle using LUA? I studied the LUA manual and could not find a clear solution. Of cour...

Re: Glitches on my servos (USM)
Hi Bob, Unfortunately, I don't have another servo like these ones. It's a complicated job to de-install a servo and make a jig to intercept the data signal. This plane is grounded until I have more info. So according to Mike B, RF ACCST V2 should not be the culprit unless servo cables contaminate th...

Re: Glitches on my servos (USM)
Hi Kilrah, Yes good idea as always. I should check the voltage at the servo itself with a scope Unfortunately I don't have a real scope. Maybe I can use the Arduino made scope. It's going to be difficult to check the voltage at the servo itself since wires are inside the wing. I would need to open t...

Re: Glitches on my servos (USM)
Mike, Thanks again Mike, From what I have experienced with this plane (only 4 flights), only glitches were seen on the roll axis. A glitch on the rudder is pretty hard to see. As for the elevator, I don't think I saw something as bad as the roll problem. Please also note I only see that behavior wit...

Re: Glitches on my servos (USM)
Hi Mike, Thank you for your response. I have an AeroStar 60A ESC with a built in 5V 5Amps BEC. Battery is 3300mAh 4S. I checked the Rx voltage and it's a solid 5 volts even when I move all my four digital servos together (2 AIL, RUD, ELE). So there is no voltage drop on the RX. I determined that wit...

Re: Glitches on my servos (USM)
Thanks Bob. In my case I don't think it's caused by servo wires close together. I suspect more the RF link losing a frame, something like that. The USM are very sudden and cause a quick unwanted rolls (in this airplane). I've been suspecting this for a while but now with the digital servos, the USM ...

Glitches on my servos (USM)
Hi, I flew today and I'm almost sure my plane got servo glitches or (USM) unintentional servo movements. The plane rolled suddently about 20 degrees. Quick correction after that. BUT it happened 3 to 4 times in flight. I have digital servos so they are fast to respond to glitches. SO: I have a Taran...

Hi Kilrah, Yes, my charger does it also but most chargers give notoriously bad values. Some chargers are good but I have never seen or owned one that gives real good values. Try the manual way and compare with your charger. You'll need a good multimeter and a know load. 1- Get a know resistor load. ...

Got it Mike. It seems to work very well and in real time when the balance cable is connected. But if there is zero volts coming in, the mechanism you described occurs. The arrays are not refreshed. So I will carry on with my code. I don't need to read 0 when not connected. Also it does not look like...

Re: Reading LiPo sensor FLVSS with Arduino Uno
Mike,
Just one more question (I hope the last one) :
Can I use the Arduino Serial.print function in your loop() function to display my calculations after the reading the voltages?
I tried to debug with Serial.print(value); and nothing came out on the serial monitor.
Thanks,
Ray

Re: Reading LiPo sensor FLVSS with Arduino Uno
Hi Mike,
Wow! this works great now Mike.
Thank you very much for your support and this great software.
I should be able to generate the rest of the C code to read all the cells individually and calculate their own Rin.
Thank you again,
