Radiomaster TX16s USB-serial

[wilopaan]

Hi all,

the RadioMaster TX16s will have two USB-seriell ports.

How can one use these two ports from Opentx? Will it be possible to receive inputs from these serials via some serial protocoll?

Would be nice to get some info.

That is the intend, but the how/what is undefined yet. We will probably provide a way to get serial data from lua script, possibly trainer as well. All that probably not at release

Ok, thank you!

That would be really great!

What about the hardware in thet tx16s?
Can one internally connect an e.g. bluetooth-module (serial) to this serial-interface without using the USB-layer?

Or even better, there would be a bluetooth-usb-dongle campatible with the tx16s serial-usb-port.

Wow sorry I miss read your initial post. There are no two USB serial . There is one USB serial used for flashing, simulator and possibly debug, like most current OpenTX radios. There is also two UART (non usb) accessible at the bottom of the radio (one with rx/tx, one with rx/tx/cts).

How access will be given to those and what feature they will have is still work in progress, and will continue to evolve after release

This looks somewhat better to me.

It would be great, if one could access these serials from lua (setting baudrate, reading and writing arbitrary strings), because this would be the absolute killer feature for all those DIY-projects around this and OpenTx in general!

Well, I preordered an tx16s week ago and hopefully I will get one next month or so.

Thanks!

Did I get you right, that the trainer input is per USB-serial as SBUS?

[wilopaan]

I just compiled the RM TX16s firmware, and I found the two additional serial ports(TTL) in the hardware config.

I there can select SBUS in and LUA and Telemtry mirror an in.

Is that functional already?
What do these settings mean?

Is SBUS meanung trainer-input? As from the DSC-jack?

Ive just added the Horus bt unit to the pcb on my rmtx16, enabled in opentx, but is not discoverable with BT devices. Any idea why not?

My reply comes late... But I just managed to get it working.
