Helle, The Jeti ds-16 doesn't have any ADC and analog potis either, because it uses an absolute encoder based on Hall effect sensor. Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk 2 Incorrect. Jeti DOES use Hall effect sensors, but reads the output of those using an ADC same as if normal pots were used. The ...

Yes, Taranis is quite a ride, but worth it.

Just a little work yourself can give any timer you want. Find or record a track of 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Set custom functions to 'play track 987 when timer = 29 and 19 The built in timer will kindly count the 30, 20 and 10,9,8... and your custom track and functions will fill in the rest. How har...

Next question is: at what (low) voltage does Taranis quit working or go flaky? I have run mine down to 5.9V but did ot take it any lower at the time as I just wanted to recharge and keep playing. Since then I have just kept playing...

J.P.

Perhaps I mis-remember that detail.

There are compensated v-tail mixes listed in the forum that you could add to your model setup, and simple v-tail mix is EASY. Just mix both elevator and rudder into both v-tail channels. 70% would be a good place to start, but mix ratios can be adjusted as necessary.

Replace the ten wav file with one containig a beep.

I would still consider replacing switch E or F with a 3 pos on/off/mom switch. I intend to find such and do so to my Taranis some time in the near future. This would allow the momentary switch on the left side with no additinal holes in the case. Nice thing of OpenTx is that any switch can be progra...

A set of logical latches would be nice, with set and reset actions from every possible input logic function.

Novice Beware. Meaning 'This radio is programmed differently from other radios, so those of us who are accustomed to 'normal' style radio programming have difficulty with it and thus believe that those with no pre-conceptions about programming computer radios will have a very hard time with it'. I w...

Well, I bought mine (rx combo) at 8:18 CDT / 6:18 PDT. I had refreshed at 6:59 CDT and it took about 20 seconds - normal refresh time is less than a second. At 7:00:30 CDT I refreshed and it took about three and a half minutes... This went on for about 35 minutes with no stock showing and the refres...

If he was flying low and slow then ground impact would not have been far from the point where the engine quit. Obviously he had some speed when the engine out occurred, perhaps in knife edge at the time. If so, then he should not have been ponted in toward the pits, unless the top was facing the pit...

Looks to me like Richard Dean Anderson (Jack O'Neill in Stargate).

It was also an excellent opportunity to see what changes were made in the various screens in companion. All changes are clear improvements as far as I can see. There is one significant issue that I have with companion... There is a severe case of cognitive dissonance in the in every drop down menu t...

Can't drag and drop between different OpenTx versions - I think I confirmed that one.

Since I only had two models copying manually was not too big a deal and a good refresher for all the screens and various functions I used

Installing 1.27 in a separate directory did allow me to load the previous eeprom, but dragging models over to the new version resulted in corrupted configurations. Since I really only had two models defined I was able to just read the old programs and manually configure them in the new version. Hope...

I have the same problem. I created several model setups in Companion9x 1.27 for Taranis and since I upgraded Companion9x to 1.28 I get the EEPROM error. Nothing critical, as I do not have an actual Taranis yet, but when I do this type of nuisance would become a big problem!

J.P.

Yes, rescale the reading. For a 100 amp sensor I see little need for .1 watt resolution and almost no need for .01 watt resolution. Is this a sensor firmware change or TX firmware change? I have been considering the FAS-100 for at least one plane that I have and it runs about 1200 watts full throttl...

Yes, bips would be adequate. Personally i would prefer a vocal countdown but just having a final countdown either voice or bips is far more important that which type. Idea. if the countdown is bips, how about the 5 count be two bips? this would help insure that you are mentally synched with the coun...

I would like a countdown as described. The final countdown should not have the units announced (10 seconds, 9 seconds, 8 seconds...) but only the digits (10, 9, 8...). You might add a 15 second announcement too - 30 seconds, 20 seconds, 15 seconds, 10, 9, 8... I think that this is a common timing mo...

That is why it would be a selectable option in the servos menu. Either center + (null|mix|stick trim) or an additional field - center, subtrim, add (null|mix|stick trim).

J.P.

Fair enough, and good for you and me, but this does need to appeal to a wider audience than you and me. If a feature is offered it needs to work.

J.P.

Maybe an option to tie the servo center to a stick trim so that stick trim adjustments modify (add to) the servo center.

J.P.

I see this as an issue of conflating the two separate terms of 'endpoints' and 'limits'. As set in the outputs or servos menu - whatever it is called in the version in use - I want to see LIMITS beyond which the servo WILL NOT travel, because to do so would run into some physical limit, be it the se...

Default channel order is primarily a convenience tool so that you so not have to go in and reset the channel order for every channel every time you create a new model. Not critical to operation but very nice when it is working properly.

J.P.

With Custom Switches you could make the right stick emulate 8 switches - not just up down left right, but the corners too. Set up functions where CS triggers with stick X and Y positions near the limits and/or neutral.

J.P.

And it has a 128 in it. That is the xr's only redeeming quality in my book!

J.P.

Thank you. I understand the warranty and support issues. I have been an electronics and computer tech for some 35 years and am quite familiar with electronics and a soldering iron. A little company called Cray Research trusted me with a soldering iron and modules from their computers - and this requ...

I don't care for the Blaaack case, but the shape is good. They did go crazy with the colors on the displays and while the telemetry displays are not too bad, I think that they could be simpler and more efficient / easier to read at a glance. You do not exactly have a lot of time to devote to looking...

I am curious as to the ease or difficulty of installing a rotary encoder in Taranis. Could it go in through the serial port? Would it be better to solder to some free lines on the processor? Is the firmware ready for an encoder or is this not intrgrated into the Taranis flavor of OpenTx (yet)? Yes I...
