I really dig this widget. I have found its also great to be able to name with the associated switch "Flaps SD" "Gear SC" "Rates SB" and so on. Not all of my models are the same setup (or even have flaps) so its a great visual reminder of what switch does what. Initially, I just wanted a "Model Notes" page or something with the info, but his is WAY better!

Great video. Like the widgets. Just two questions. On your main screen, how did you get the text to respond to your gear switch? The plane model seems to be flying over the terrain. How did you do that. All my model images have either a frame or background.

Gear is the same as the "Mode", "Flaps", "TX Batt" on the top. Use your gear switch as the source and put text for UP or DOWN in the correct fields depending on the switch position. It looks different because it is in the main screen rather than the top bar. The widget changes the font automatically when placed there. I get my graphics from skyraccoon.com. You can get a .png file of most planes there which have a transparent background. They look awesome.

Here's how I do it. Find the model you want. Once you click on it, seems they all have an image of the plane "floating" up in the upper right corner. Rather than clicking on their "images" I just right click on the floating image and click "save image as". It should be a .png file. Be sure to name it a max of 9 characters. If the name, not including the .png, has more than 9 characters you can select it on the list but it won't appear on the TX16S screen.

Hi Shane. Have followed your excellent video and have loaded widgets to my TX18s for aileron and elevator. Have checked and double checked and although they appear to be correct they do transmit to the model. Have also loaded instant trim, timer,and sounds. I am shaw it is just a small admission on my part but just cannot seem to find the problem. Cheers

HI Shane, Loaded aileron and elevator useing high, med, and low rates also including volume, play track, timer 1 reset, instant trim and timer display on (Widget) introduction page. All of these seem to be operating, but they do not transmit to the plane that is loaded and bond. At present I only have one aircraft loaded and will wait until this issue is solved before including the rest of the fleet. This is a new transmitter (edgeTX) but have used Open TX for a long time. Hope I have explained it more clearly this time. Cheers Colin

Sorry, still not exactly sure what the question is. You say the rx and tx are bound but no controls are transmitting to the rx/plane? Nothing at all? Perhaps take some pictures of your inputs and mixer pages and email them to me? My email is in the about section of my channel. Also, let me know what receiver you are using and what protocol you have the TX set to.

Hi ONce again I have not explained clearly. I am useing FS-iA6b rx and the Flsky protocol. All the control surfaces operate as they should but when I go to the appropiate sw for low rate, med rat, and hg rate, on rudder elevator and aileron they do not respond. I hope this makes it clearer, but I will send photos later when my phone has charged overnite.

Special Functions using the "Play Track" function. Many voice tracks come in the sound pack. The 3 flap position tracks I have here I generated. The standard one has multiple "flap" call outs, just didn't have exactly what I wanted so made some new ones.

Interesting. Are you sure you've selected the correct "Batt" value from the source list? What EdgeTX version are you using? There was a telemetry decimal issue a version or two back that I wonder if it might be related. If so it would be fixed in 2.9.3

Is there a way to have telemetry EVIN readout as a percentage instead of voltage?
@shanesdiy
5 ай бұрын
Closest I am aware of is the "BattAnalog" widget. Set for sensor "EVIN", turn on "Show_Total_Voltage". It will show voltage and percent. If you don't turn on Show Total Voltage it will show cell voltage instead of pack voltage. The lithium_Ion check box scales it for Li-Ion batteries and will show about 25% high if you have a Li_Po in the plane. Depending on what size box you put the widget in, it will show slightly different info. Top bar you get just basic voltage and %. Larger box in main screen you also see Minimum volts. All the other widgets I tested that will show a % either would not scale it correctly or would not accept data from EVIN.

@@oakland510kid Well, not directly from the EVIN value, at least to my knowledge. You could setup several logical switches for voltage levels that equal various percentage targets you want. I'd set a delay so it had to be below xx volts for at least 20 seconds or so to turn on the logical switch. Then use that logical switch to play a track that says "75 percent", "50 percent", etc. You can either record your own tracks to put in the /SOUNDS/en folder OR you can copy some values from the /SOUNDS/en/SYSTEM folder. In that folder there are a variety of numbers and the word "percent" but you can't access them from a Special Function directly so they would need to be copied to the /SOUNDS/en folder. For example, you could copy the "0050.wav" file for "fifty" and the "percent0.wav". Then to play both tracks you'd have to make 2 special functions linked to 50% logical switch. First play track "50" then another to play track "percent" and radio would say "Fifty Percent". Long post but that's one way to accomplish this. Hope that makes sense. If not, I suppose I could make a short "viewer request" video for that. I get the logic behind it, sometimes I may not remember how long I have left if I have 11.8 volts but if it says 40% that makes more sense. Your 0% doesn't have to be the battery is dead, could be just the voltage when you want to land.

In your model setup if you set the Timer 1 Mode to "Throttle" the timer will only run when the throttle is above minimum. If you set the mode for "Throttle%" the timer will run only when the throttle is above minimum and will also run faster with more throttle. At 100% throttle the timer runs 1 second = 1 second. Lower throttle levels the timer runs slower since you are using battery at a slower rate. Throttle mode set to "Throttle Start" the timer will start as soon as you throttle above minimum but will not stop when you take the throttle back to minimum, it will keep counting down.
