phil alvirez Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 i mean, i would like to see the several screens that show volts, mah, altitude, vario, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil alvirez Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 that is, with the values at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil alvirez Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 for instance: at the video, from 2:52 shows a screen with figures of what is happening at the moment. that is what i want to learn to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil alvirez Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 i found the answer to my question so never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil alvirez Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Soren: now i would like to reduce the tendency to increase angle at climb. i have this at the other radio (DX6i) but i dont know how with this. perhaps as you fly gliders too have to face same situation? anyway, if you can provide instructions (perhaps even another tutorial) would be great. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil alvirez Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 in case i didnt make it clear: i need to lower elevator a bit when climbing by flipping a switch so the plane does not want to do a loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Sounds like you need to research flight modes, or perhaps a throttle/elevator mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil alvirez Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 it is on flight modes, right. i dont need mix. am using mode for aircraft, so it has just 1. thats all that i need. i got into fmode,, selected a switch, and i see that when i flip it changes the number down there. great. so now what is next?

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Phil your climbing under power problem has nothing to do with telemetry. If you start a new thread for that I'm sure you'll get more answers. Can we stay on topic here, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 While I'm here, here's a typical telemetry screen from the OpenTx system, and yes I use telemetry a lot and find it very useful indeed, especially when a model is new. Apart from voice call outs of various parameters like LiPo mAh used, battery volts, height etc it will alarm if signal strength is getting low, well before I lose control and likewise, warn if Rx battery is getting low. If I really want to I can also look at graphs after a flight to see just what went on during the flight. For instance I can check how signal strength went for the whole sortie. This gives me much more confidence in the installation than a range check on the ground can. Or I can check all the individual LiPo cells to check that one wasn't dropping lower than others at any point during it's discharge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich too Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Does this have an altitude warning? Futaba SBS-02A Atmospheric Pressure Sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich too Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Well, I guess I’ll find out as I bought one. My first experience has not started well. Plugged the sensor into the sbus socket in the receiver and nothing, just a glowing red light. Neither the sensor or trans manual covers a simple set up process . So, I played and reloaded the sensors, wipping the trans of any sensor software! Now I guess I have to purchase a sbus hub to re-register the sensor? Help!

Dickw Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Not a Futaba user myself, so the only thing I know is that it has to be plugged into the S.Bus2 port. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich too Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Yeah, I plugged it into the port on the receiver but didn’t get any response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickw Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Like I said I am not a Futaba user so may be wrong, but I understood there were 2 x S.Bus ports on Rx compatible with these sensors - S.Bus1 and S.Bus2 - and the sensor needed to be plugged into the S.Bus2 port. It is not clear from your comments if that is what you are doing. Apologies if I am just adding to the confusion.

Frank Skilbeck Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Rich, if you mean you need to register the sensor on the tx by plugging it into the sbus port on the tx with a battery into the hub for power, I think this is just a Y lead. I had to do this with a non-futaba sensor on my friends 14sg, you had to plug the sensor into the Tx and do an initial set up then it worked when plugged into the receiver. Also you may need to check that your Tx will work with the SBS-02A, or if it needs an update to make it work. Not all transmitters work with all sensors, there's a table here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich too Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Thanks Frank. I have the 16sz which is not listed! I’ll give the Y lead a try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Make sure also that the Tx is on the latest firmware, according to the Ripmax website it should be v3.5. BTW if you are looking for a vario for an electric glider, check out the SM Modelbau Unisens sensors, vario, altitude, amps, mah and volts all in one small sensor.

Broken Prop Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I agree with Frank. The Unisens sensors are very good and are easy to set up via your PC. They are also tiny, which makes fitting them into slim glider fuselages a lot easier. They are compatible with most well known makes of transmitter.

Rich too Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I have a green light now at last. But how do I get the information to display? Do I have to turn it on somewhere on the trans? The instructions are frankly useless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich too Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hit and miss but got it working. I had linked the receiver using the small button on the receiver but this was incorrect and I followed the link procedure from the trans menu. I came across this as I noticed I wasn’t even getting the rx voltage displayed so something was wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Rich, glad it's sorted. Now all you need is a few thermals to check the vario function. You mentioned height alarm above, not sure if the 16sz can do it, but I've programmed the telemetry on my MPX Profi to cut the motor if I go above a certain height on one electric glider, e.g. throttle cut come on when height exceeds 120m and off when height drops below 40m, so climb to 120m the motor cuts, search for thermals and if none find motor can restart when glider has descended to below 40m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
