No, this project is not limited to variokaos wrote: I know this project is limited to vario,
I think adding more fields would be the way to go. Renaming would be a lot of work for not much. The resolution stuff applied to the old system, it's not valid with SPORT anymore.Archades wrote:For opentx and not the FRSKY version on their site would it be possible sometime later to do the custom labelling for model specific stuff? It'd be a cool feature one day. Alternative, I think I read FRSKY allocates the id's so are the developers in contact with them trying to get some extra stuff added if this is possible? I think I saw a reference to each field having a certain resolution so new fields would be best I'd guess and hope that is an option.
It might send down the centimeters, but they'd likely just be noise. What would you do with 1cm resolution??Archades wrote:A few more questions, what is the sensitivity currently for the 5611 and the taranis and sport? I see in the Taranis it shows 10cm (0.1 in telem page) but does it actually get any better than that but not listed on that screen since it appears to be limited to 0.x and not 0.xx? And what is the max logging rate the Taranis could do from this?
oXs won't do cell voltages at all. Before the rewrite there was an option to measure 6 voltages that would be sent down in the cell voltage fields, but you couldn't actually measure cell voltages with it. Hardware just won't do it, precision would be unuseable. Specific hardware would need to be designed, but that's a whole different thing.Archades wrote:I also see the arduino has only a few pins to work with, is there a method to do cell voltages for 12s batteries/12 inputs?
There is nothing wrong with SPORT itself, but there are still problems with the way it's implemented in the oXs code. See here:Spoogy wrote:Can I ask what is wrong about SPORT output? I thought that it is a standard made by FrSky.
If you used the correct current sensor connected to oXs it should be OK, albeit with low resolution.Spoogy wrote:if the variometer doesn't measure high speed then, what to do? Also want to measure voltages and current consumption, but it's drawing about 100+ amps at full throttle (from 10-cell lipo). So what kind of sensor use with this? Is the OpenXvario/sensor up to this or what (to measure the current draw and vario)?
The Turnigy mods, firmwares and hacks and their popularity came slowly and progressively over a 4-year period, with most people arriving close to the end where most was already sorted and people had time to make guides etc.Spoogy wrote:With Turnigy9x it was simple when all the modifications was under one site with all necessary links for the modifications.
10cm res is fine, was just curious if it was sending any higher and how much more accurate it is vs the high precision sport vario from frsky which seems to be 10cm too?It might send down the centimeters, but they'd likely just be noise. What would you do with 1cm resolution??
Yeah I might get the FRSKY one, I only use 3s so far but 12s may be down the track. Hopefully you can use 2 of them to work but I think a custom hardware option may be the go as well. I'll look into the hardware needed. Would a separate board work and use something like i2c over 1 pin to talk to oxs which could send it or is it better to just get another pro mini or something and make it's own sport? Or maybe 2x CD74HC4051 multiplexers setup with voltage dividers. Or better yet, one of these https://www.sparkfun.com/products/299 with the voltage dividers? Might order some of 4051 and 4067 to play with.Specific hardware would need to be designed, but that's a whole different thing.
Indeed. I will try help where I can if I can skill up enough. I much prefer messing with hardware though, the coding still escapes me a bit.Unfortunately while the number of users is dramatically increasing there hasn't been much interest from people to join the development efforts.
Thanks for Kilrah and Archades for the answers.Archades wrote:@Spoogy, I ordered http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/50A-100A-150 ... 1040360152 this in unidirection mode (more sensitive) and I believe the 150 or 200A version should do fine.
I doubt there is much difference in precision/resolution about altitude. The big difference is with the vertical speed, the FrSky sensor only reports multiples of 0.5m/s while oXs reports a real number with 0.01m/s resolution and much better filtering so that it actually means something (precision about 0.1m/s).Archades wrote: 10cm res is fine, was just curious if it was sending any higher and how much more accurate it is vs the high precision sport vario from frsky which seems to be 10cm too?
These are digital ports, not analog ones.Archades wrote:http://tronixstuff.com/2011/08/26/tutor ... -io-ports/ I think this would help save pins too. There's probably an SMD version too to cut down size. So would that + 12 voltage dividers work ok?
I know that we are on the top of the wave here and when this wave gets to the shore then, making of this things are simpler (all needed parts and information sorted out).hmm, I wonder why the Alofthobby site stated the resolution of the High Precision Senor is 0.1m.Kilrah wrote:I doubt there is much difference in precision/resolution about altitude.
