Frsky Vario

[CliffEvans]

Have just purchased Frsky new Vario for use with the new Taranis, am using the X8R Rx with Smart port, I cannot seem to get a reading from the vario at all, just plug into Smart Port as per instructions, the led flashes and that is it nothing on the Transmitter at all. Any ideas anybody?

Did you set up a custom telemetry screen with the values you want to see?

Thanks for your quick reply, did not know that I had to do that, and do not know how to, still very new to this!

Thanks Kilrah, have looked at this page countless times and played around with settings to no avail. According to Frsky, all you need to do with the new Vario is plug it in to the Smart port on the receiver and in the telemetry screen on the Taranis, set the "source" to Vario, and that should be it!

[Kilrah]

Source is for the audio variometer beeps.
To have the value displayed you select Alt and or Vspd in the fields of a custom telemetry screen, then go to the telemetry view by pressing PAGE LONG on the home screen.

Thanks, that seems to be doing something!

Ok, got the display working, but nothing audible!
