interesting. I had not realized that you could turn off / change switch functionality with the taranis x7 (nor that the default settings were missing a switch). thanks!

I am really confused. I just bought a QX7 and was playing around with opentx firmware and I noticed something problematic. there are 6 switches on the QX7 but only 5 of them show up in companion. the trainer switch is missing. This is particularly problematic as I was going to set this tx up specifi...

here is how I hope to use it. My toy of choice is RC battleships. for years I have wanted to implement the following TX input sticks specify range and bearing to target. software in TX does the proper coordinate transform for each turret based on its position relative to ship 0,0 curve fit the outpu...

interesting, is that the lua.org lua?

So pardon the dumb question, as I am trying to wrap my head around what this enables. am I correct in seeing the ability to basically write a mix (for example) that takes in any number of inputs, does some math on it, and returns 1 or more outputs? As an aside, if that is the case, would trig & ...

from a usability perspective, I would love to see something with a line that is N characters long (as long as is practical on the screen as one could always use a math function as an input to a math function) where one just selects (would be easy in companion, tedious in tx I suspect) the input/func...

+1 to wreno's comment. that is why I keep trying to add math capacity to the firmware I play with on my 9x

So with taranis being very different hardware than what opentx was originally built for, could the taranis hardware support the following? Mathmatical mix menu: e.g. you basically write a function for the output that can take as inputs any/all of the sticks/pots/other mixes and apply standard math t...

Yep. I am working on code for both transmitters though so there is some incentive to get the more uptodate compiler working

that is correct. while it compiles, the ubuntu distributions result in code that uses an additional ~2k vs the up to date fedora installed gcc. I will have to go back and work harder to get fedora working properly with compiling taranis

that is a good note. I will have to check tonight to see what version I got. if not it may require some more work

I believe I have it working (have to actually get my hands on a taranis to really check, but it makes the bin file and also compiles companion and simu, as well as standard 9x). I finally just started over and did the following: all of this was done with sudo up front Virtual machine, ubuntu 12.04LT...

alright so I did find some proper fedora 17 installations, however they confound me a bit. I am now receiving the following error /usr/lib64/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.7.2/include/stdint.h:3:26: fatal error: stdint.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: *** [taranis/STM32F2xx_StdPeriph_...

Just a quick question. I need some package to compile for taranis, I get an error about missing arm-none-eabi-gcc. I have googled that but what I get for fedora doesn't necessarily look like reputable sources. Can someone point me to a good location to download that package?

thanks
Greg

thanks! I will try that. so I would end up using something like pgm_read_byte(&acosn[2]) for example, if my reading of some of the progmem tutorials is correct.

The following has me a bit confused. Hopefully some of you folk here can set me straight on how to properly utilize the flash memory for constant arrays. I have the following: const pm_uint8_t acosn[58] PROGMEM = {240,238,236,233,231,229, 226,224,221,219,216,214,212,209,206,204, 201,199,196,193,191,...

I noticed. by the time I got back in and grabbed the latest version it had been changed

I've been using them for other evil purposes until I can spend enough time in the menu/eeprom files to understand it enough to build my own menu/variables for my customized code... I just started playing around with the Taranis code after working on the stock and was moving my mods over. I use 6-10 ...

that make sense, thanks!

Just a note. It appears that the easy addition of gvars 6-10 does not function correctly when compiled as taranis, still functions correctly when compiled as 9x. This is in simu. it seems that the menu does not scroll (I think) and 6-10 are hidden. elsewhere the extra gvars show up fine. thanks Greg

What are the keyboard shortcuts for simu with taranis? r2226 behaves a bit strange compared to the keyboard shortcuts I am used to with the 9x simu (up/down arrows not working at all, left goes down, right goes up the menu lists, can not for the life of me figure out how to get into the edit menu sc...

thanks! that lets everything compile correctly again. As an aside, it would be handy to have a running list in wiki on the opentx googlecode site (or here) that just lists the requried packages to compile opentx.

thanks again

Greg

interesting. let me try updating gcc and see. I last updated it in november or so

well crud. I thought I had auto updates disabled but I think that may not have been the case as the constant nagging to check for updates has gone away.... Time to go dig up the old thread with the list of all necessary packages for getting companion & opentx compiling on fedora. if anyone has t...

I am getting an error when I try to compile R2172 of opentx without making any changes to the makefile. I am able to compile the last of the open9x versions from the open9x repository. the error is below. any ideas how to fix? opentx.cpp:2019:1 error '__int24' does not name a type opentx.cpp: In fun...

Got it running. Seems to work quite well.

I will play with it shortly after I merge my mods into 2129. Been away from my mods for a bit working on other things and trying to understand how to use progmem for 8 bit integer arrays ...

thanks
Greg

I would vote for a compile time option in addition to the modified default number if possible (even if it breaks companion9x use for model creation and eeprom conversion) to enable folks to play with differing numbers of gvars easily even on the stock board. Barring that I would vote 10. Of course t...

biggest problem so far is monitor size, there is a lot going on in the IDE it already would have helped a ton on the code I've been adding

Thanks for the help. I have managed to get eclipse working and debugging, so far I am only learning the program but it is already helpful
