Arducopter flight modes

Post by xplo5iv »

Hi,

Is there any way to add the names of missing Arducopter flight modes for telemetry passthrough?

E.g. Stab and Loiter are already shown, but Smart RTL shows as unknown.

Thanks

Jon

Please follow this link.

At the top of the page there is a link to a program called "TTSAutomate".. With it you can make voice packs for Ersky9x, as well as any single file you need..

To add more names (in the next test version of ersky9x, I need to know what number matches what name. Currently I have:

Arduplane flight mode numbers:

0 Manual
1 CIRCLE
2 STABILIZE
3 TRAINING
4 ACRO
5 FBWA
6 FBWB
7 CRUISE
8 AUTOTUNE
10 Auto
11 RTL
12 Loiter
15 Guided

Arducopter flight mode numbers:

0 Stabilize
1 Acro
2 AltHold
3 Auto
4 Guided
5 Loiter
6 RTL
7 Circle
9 Land
11 Drift
13 Sport
14 Flip
15 AutoTune
16 PosHold
17 Brake

If you can let me know what number "Smart RTL" corresponds to, I'll add it.

The other way of doing this is to write a script and create your own, custom telemetry screen.

The problem Mike, is that most of us can't even blink a LED in Arduino, never mind writing a script :mrgreen:

Yes, but you could try, you may be surprised at what is possible. To make the development a bit easier, I have put together a (Windows) PC program that runs scripts and simulates the display. This helps to get a script error free and displaying correctly before you try it on the radio.
See "Interpreter.zip" here: https://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopi ... 25#p129830.

I do need to post an updated version with the latest enhancements in it.

Perhaps this helps someone. ;)

You need to place the "Interpreter.exe" file inside eepe's installation directory as it needs some of the eepe's DLL files to run..

Mike, thanks, sorry for the delay in responding.
I'll take a look at the scripting stuff, I can do a bit of Arduino etc.so hopefully it will make sense

In the meantime here are the other modes: -

18: Throw
19: Avoid ADSB
20: Guided No GPS
21: Smart RTL
22: Flow Hold
23: Follow

I'll try to get the text in for these. I think there are on 7 characters available on the display, so I'll need to abbreviate some of them.
