Hello Kilrah

If you open pic 1, you will see that it shows also individual voltage cells (VLFS), the total of the cells and GPS too!

Openx Sensor + Frsky FSD

Hello Everyone, i hope that someone can help me overhere..... I'm proud to say that i already built 5 Openx Sensor! :) It's an outstanding working piece. Let's go to the issue... I fly helicopters, planes , gliders and rc boats, and have one in each one. I never got used to use a stick radio in the ...

Re: Would OpenXsensor work with Beitian bn-880Q GPS module ?

Yes it would.

Been there, done that!
At the moment I'm using a BN220 just because is a little bit smaller [emoji6]..
But if you are having long time connection issues, the problem might not be the GPS, but the configuration....

Re: current sensor

i will give you mine humble opinion, In the future use the VCC, 5V , or 3.3V for Vref instead of Internal ref. You will gain resolution in the measured value, and don´t need voltage dividers. The ACS712 only accept 5v of supply, not even 3.3v. Assuming you are using the bidirectional version at 0 am...

Re: current sensor

OK, from what i understand you are using the internal voltage reference. I never did that in any of mine projects, because the IC is powered always above the internal voltage reference, in the case of the atmega 328. You don´t need 6 values..the 6 values are for voltage reading,not current reading! ...

Re: current sensor

Hello ronron84, The voltage levels accepted by the atmega328 from the arduino depends on is operating voltage, 3,3V or 5V. So the ADC can´t get higher voltage then the supply voltage. If you are powering the current sensor from the 3,3 or 5,0 volt you won´t get problems. In that case you put : #defi...

Re: PPM_SPORT Mode, not found VSPEED

Hello, There are two ways to change the sensitivity of the vario (MS5611). Either with #define PPM_VIA_SPORT or #define PIN_PPM This also works and VSpeed is found as a sensor in both cases If you now also use AIRSPEED_COMPENSATED, then in PPM_VIA_SPORT mode no more VSpeed found, when using PIN_PPM...

Re: GY86 no IMU data but Baro still ok?

I´m sorry,

I thought that you didn't solder the INT pin of the GY 86 board....yes, you can connect to Pin 3 of the Pro mini..If you declare it of course in the config. file..
Please check if that pin isn't assigned to any other thing...

Re: GY86 no IMU data but Baro still ok?

You need to solder the INT(interrupt) to Digital PIN 2 of the Arduino Pro Mini clone, if you don´t do it, it will not work!!!!

Please try it....

Do you have correct accelerations outputs in X,Y AND Z, because I'm having good output in Z but not in X and Y...
Do you use opentx?

OpenX sensor + GY-86

Hello Everyone,

Is someone getting good values, concerning acelleration of the GY-86 board with Openx Sensor?

I´m having good data in the Z acelleration using open TX, but the acelleration in X and Y is incorrect!

Can anyone give some feedback?

some more points about your tests with the "master" release: - did you check that there where no other line in the config that asked for filling Test1 ,2 and 3 with other values than accelerations? - if you rotate your sensor, does the accX and Y change in a logical way? Hello mstrens, I ...
