Re: OpenTx Lua Telemetry GPS Directions Home (Distance & Trip)

Just tried your script for a tricopter, using Frsky telemetry data from the flight controller (Naze32 clone, running iNav), and it seems to work just fine....

now I have distance to home again (missing on iNav / cleanflight telemetry, as far as I can tell).

Thanks a lot !!!!

Re: taranis stuck in startup screen

Perhaps the FW stays in the infinite loop when it waits that all keys are released ... That seems to be happening in my case. Is there any particular reason it is waiting when a key is pressed ? Would it be an idea to let it continue to start-up, and give an alarm message like 'some keys pressed', ...

Re: wanted: Empty module case for Taranis

I like the construction of the SPM6817 module, with the antenne far out, so it's no longer hidden behind the transmitter.
However, including postage, it's still like 20 us$.... :shock:
For the same kind of money, I can order a complete Frsky DJT module... (well..... nearly :roll: )

I have to admit that I'm not really sure if it was in OpenTx or more probably in Er9x.
