Had my radio a while, but I'm rubbish with programming, but I learned stuff today. Looking forward to the future videos on the Taranis.
Thanks Andrew, very interesting to see a comparison of telemetry and setup, between the Taranis, and the brand that I fly.
Thanks for the video Andrew. You have taught me more about Taranis than any other channel. I always search your videos for my problems before I go anywhere else.
Thanks so much Darryl. That is what motivates me.
The Taranis is a great radio I think I just got a bad one with poor range I returned it when I probably should of had them send me a replacement . That was when they first came on the market . Now they have many really cool features for the price . Great video Andrew .
Hi Andrew, with you you always learn new things, you're a good teacher, thank you for existing. Merry Christmas to you and your whole family, a greeting from a faithful friend from Switzerland Carlo 😉
Carlo, Merry Christmas to you and yours too. Thanks so much for your wonderful comment, it means a lot to me.
Very Useful and still current. Thank you Sir
Just got a new Taranis frsky radio last week.I'm a current spektrum user,so the learning curve seems a little steep.Thank-you for posting these videos,they are so much easier to follow than manuals.Lookig forward to learning about this Tx.
Excellent. With OpenTX you can just keep it simple or go as complicated as you want.
Thx !!
EXCELLENT !!! Great balance between leading by handing and getting to the point. Packed with good settings
Many thanks EDF, valuable feedback
Thanks for this and all your other videos Andrew. I have been trying to get FLVS-01 to work with my D8R- II Plus telemetry r/x for a while (I have 4 of them). The video link that you gave to Anton Neeshpapa may be just what I needed. I have used them with a 9XR Pro without telemetry. I have ordered a Taranis Q X7, hence my watching your videos of same. I have previously set up telemetry on a Fly Sky FSi6 which I found relatively simple to do and I have it showing t/x, r/x internal and flight pack voltages + altimeter and vario for my gliders. Again a lot of this was with help via your videos. When my Taranis arrives I hope to put Ersky9x onto it as that is what I am used to using. A video of this conversion would be great. Keep up the good work. Your videos are always interesting and easy to understand. Thanks again.
Er9x was my first introduction to open source firmware on the Turnigy 9X. But I'll only put OpenTX on my transmitters now.
I'm learning a lot, thank you. Merry Christmas
Ho Ho, Merry Christmas to you too Mike.
Loving this Andrew. Answering so many questions. Please keep this going. This is also great fun. Now i can get my Taranis to work correctly. One thing I can't do is the arm, dis-arm, the electric motor, onto a switch, so that one setting covers all present and future added models. Thank you so much Andrew. Keith.
Yes you can't do that as a global function. It would be a good feature
what you can do is set up the override ch1 (throttle) to -100 that effectively disables the throttle.
Andrew Newton Ok Andrew. Thats a pity.
Can you please show us how to do the above, on each single model then?
Thanks. Keith.
No problem Keith, I'll include it in the next video. I use the same as Daytona FPV.
Really useful Andrew, Merry Christmas :)
and to you too
Very informative Andrew
another great series :-)
Great tips! Thanks Andrew - just bought the vario for my glider!
My favourite sensor, have fun
This is cool and comparable to DJI's "Find my model" but the gps sensor with logging is the sure thing in my opinion for my situation. This is good to know.
Very good video Andrew as ever! Wish I had seen this the forst time I set up telemetry! - you showed me a few extra features there I was not aware of and now added - thanks! One question though is I see you have SWR as a sensor input (on the view of your 9XD Display) - how did you get that as all I have read so far says the latest version of Open Tx (2.2.0 I think) did away with SWR and all you have now is RSSI unless you look in Analogs for RAS (not something you can see easily) so I'd be most interested to know how you get it please?
Thanks Jeffrey. SWR showed up automatically when I "Discovered sensors" I doubt that it actually works, just a hangover from previous firmware.
Both the OLED screens on my 2014 era Lipo Voltage Sensor and Servo Channel Changer don't work anymore. The Lipo Voltage Sensor still functions via the Smart Port. The Channel Changer is a bit to hard without a screen.
Thanks... I'm begginer. I undestand everthing... Great video.
Thanks Fabian, you must be clever
Excellent
Great information as always!!! Do you have a sensor you prefer to use more than others?
Vario sensor with the Lipo voltage sensor are what I use most for gliders. 40A current sensor is what I use for new powered planes to check current.
Great stuff, Andrew! Do the double male connectors used to gang the sensors come with them? If not, where do you get them? Thanks for your time.
They are called Female to Female connectors (which seems the wrong way round to me). Yes they are supplied but you can buy them from HobbyKing or anywhere mutirotor gear is sold.
Grazie.
Nice video. Thanks to you I got GPS and voltage sensor in my RC plain. Do you know what to do in case of loss of signal the plain come back to the origin point?
INAV with a good flight control board
Very interesting I'm just getting back into this hobby after a 20 year break. Wow amazing. Only thing im really waiting to find out is if there is a pitot tube sensor for real time air speed, to reduce stall, receive low air speed warnings. Be more handy than gps ground speed
Yes Pitot tube airspeed sensors are available. I have tested the Matek
@@AndrewNewton oh nice are they any good, as give real time info or is it delayed?? Can you set a low value with them to trigger stall alarms???
great tutorial, congratulations. Are you going to do a Lua tutorial for the Taranis?
Thanks greetings
Unlikely Jose. I never use Lua
Thanks for answering, there are many that I do not like, but there are some that I find interesting.
Thanks for the awesome video.
Are these sensors also work on S6R Receiver?
Yes, any receiver with Smart Port
Thanks!
Do you have to plug in and discover each feedback module individually one at a time or can you just daisy chain everything together how you wish to have it set up and just get it to discover everything in one go??
All at once works fine
Hi Andrew
If the current sensor can display the pack voltage, what is the point of the Lipo voltage sensor?
LiPO sensor reads each cell and it very small and light, better for gliders and just keeping an eye on pack voltage. The current sensor is limited to 40A, inline with the battery and much bulkier and more expensive.
Hi Andrew..... I have to set my aileron in my multiplex heron and the surface have to go 7mm up and 5 down... How I could set it and may I put the plug of the aileron in different channel or have I to use a V connector?
Aileron differential is the answer, and you need to use separate channels for each aileron
Very good your video.
I have a question to you:
The reciber X8R only read sensor FRsky, or read anything sensor to connect at the fly board ?
Yes, only FrSKY sensors connected to the Smart Port of the X8R. Other sensors connected to a flight control board would be independent of the receiver.
@@AndrewNewton thank you very much for you answer
Hi Andrew, I have Frsky Smart Port RPM with the 2 temp sensors and I am trying to connect it to a JHEMCU Dual F7 Flight Controller. I ask if you may know how to set it up in Betaflight 10.7.0.
I am using a Flysky Nirvana Transmitter FS-NV14 2.4G 14CH with X8B Receiver (ibus).
Dont know any of that sorry
Andrew could you please make a video on how to do waypoints on the air3 inav board
Um, sorry no. I can't with my Mac environment as far as I know. Keen to know how myself.
Could try useing a virtual machine
Hi Andrew, nice video, I have a issue with the OpentTx (page telemetry) sensor called "FUEL", its default %, BUT, the problem is when I power up the model, this value just increase itself without anything is running or consuming amps, what is wrong? , its just started 10,15,16 % ....and so 100,111,115 and keep increasing with no sense or logic ... any idea ? thanks again and waiting for suggestions
That's a feature I haven't looked at sorry.
Hi Andrew, does it all work in a similar way for the Taranis Q x7?
Yes it does
Could you tell me how you got the RSSI show on your Taranis with the X8R? I am reading things about having to install an LC filter?
Just have to "Discover new sensors" and RSSI will be available on the Taranis. X8R also has analog RSSI connection where you connect the RSSI port to a flight control board, or you can send RSSI via a channel input like this newtonairlines.blogspot.com/2019/05/rssi-for-inav-x8r-l9r-xm.html
@@AndrewNewton Thanks, Andrew!
Another old one I ask "fresh" questions on 😄 Are these still your everyday sensors you use? I'm looking around at current sensor options and seem to be struggling to find any ?
Yes I still use the vario, current sensor and Lipo sensor regularly. Dont need them with a flight control board and GPS
@@AndrewNewton thanks for taking the time to reply, like always! I guess if I can't find a current sensor anywhere, one solution is move to a FC ! :)
Hi, thanks for your kind videos, which help me a lot. I have one more doubt that how can we add two sensors of same kind, say 2 current sensors FCS150A in a system. I am trying to change the id using the Frsky channel changer, and unable to get in discovery of new sensor process. If adding a custom sensor with address and changed physical ID then it is simply copying the value of the primary sensor. Please help me out. Thanks in advance
I have never tried that but I think Painless360 or Richard Mrazek had a video on something like that
@@AndrewNewton ok thanks for your kind reply. I will check with them
Hi Andrew. What is considered as a low and a critical RSSI level? Thanks
Best explanation here - opentx.gitbooks.io/manual-for-opentx-2-2/content/advanced/telemetry_values.html
Andrew Newton, thank you very much. Perfect explanation. I have set my low alarm at 45, and critical at 42.
The verio??? Can it be set up to warn if going above flying site height limits, warn of low altitude
Good question Russ, I'll have to investigate.
@@AndrewNewton thanks, have just picked up a Horus x12s second hand for 500NZD, with two 9 channel long range receivers, have ordered from horus shop, the verio, pitot, lipo level, and two rx8r receivers. Hoping to get all the programming needed for a F-111 self build project. I'm at the moment still using ff7 on 45mhz lol this is a long awaited up grade. Lol thanks for all your videos, amazing the tech out there now days. Been inactive for close to twenty years, to entering gently with powered glider while I complete build.
It works with Rx frsky l9r?
No, L9R is non-telemetry, that's partly why it has longer range.
Good stuff as always Andrew. Thank you. Im just catching up with this stuff having recently picked up a Q X7 after my trusty 9XR Pro gave up the ghost.
I've got a bit of a challenge for you...maybe...running OpenTX 2.2.2....do you think that once you've got a switch set to call up altitude ...you could instead use a Knob to call altitude AND create some sort of Logical Switch or Special Function to use a Knob to vary the time between calls.....so at the start of the Knob say it called the altitude every 20 seconds further round on the Knob would decrease the time between altitude calls...say 3-4 positions decreasing the time between calls by seconds in each position. Then you could have the vario running on a switch and have the altitude calls being called over the vario. Sometimes an update every 30 seconds is fine to know what the sink is actually like but then when you hit a nice thermal and the vario is screaming be nice to get the altitude calls every 3-5 seconds and really know whats going on up there.
Anyhoo thx for you continued awesome vids.
Good stuff SKT. Yes you can use logical switches to divide a knob into sectors that act like separate switches, and have a different Special Function for each "Knob switch"
@@AndrewNewton Rad. If you get a spare minute and think it might be something other flyers would appreciate...please do knock up a short how to...certainly well beyond my noodle scratching at this point. It'd be much appreciated.
Is there also a max speed value?
Yes, and minimum
@@AndrewNewton cool thx...seems to be a good reliable receiver!
Hi guys, you will be loughing, but I didn't pay attention on that the SMART port is required (I didn't know any difference between SMART port and side ports on a receiver). So now I got the telemetry FrSky FLVSS sensor as you are showing on the video, and a D8R-II plus FrSky receiver. I was sure everything will work as the receiver has "Telemetry" signature on it, but now I just realized that these two pieces of iron won't work together.
Will somebody advice please the best way to make them work together (D8R-II plus FrSky receiver + FrSky FLVSS telemetry sensor) using any special additional device, for example... Or is it buying an X-series receiver is the only way to use the sensor?
I have only ever used X Series, but there is a telemetry hub you can buy to connect sensors to the D series Rx.
@@AndrewNewton Wow! that would be cool. I tried to search, but google doesn't want to share about the hub. If you really know the device, could you please post the link to find it
@@antonneeshpapa5409 Here is a link but I have not used the hub. www.banggood.com/Frsky-FSH-01-Telemetry-Sensor-Hub-p-1052238.html
Yes I have seen this hub: google had sheared it to me :)). But I ignored it as it doesn't say that the hub will connect the Smart Port device (which is our FLVSS). I found that FrSky used FLVS-01 that could be connected to my D8R-II plus via the hub or maybe even directly... but now FLVS-01 is not manufactured any more.. Looks like no way to use these stuff together. I'm trying to find alternative sensor at the moment but can't get certain information.
My target is just to get voltage data from my battery on board any available way to land in time.
If you have any idea how to help me with my problem, maybe you could hint what direction to look?
Anton have you seen this, might be a help ua-cam.com/video/IqweCZzQy68/v-deo.html
Hi Andrew, can you connect 2x lipo sensors? I have tried, but the radio can only discover one????
Don't know but this might help www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2718108-Multiple-FrSky-FLVSS-LiPo-Voltage-Sensor
Hi Andrew. I believe you’re spot on. The receiver cannot distinguish between the two sensors and becomes confused. Unfortunately that link does not work anymore. Thanks for your help. I will try to figure out how to change the id on one of the sensors.
For information I tried changing the ID’s on 2 identical Mini voltage sensors, but this still did not work. To solve the problem, I have one Mini-voltage sensor and one Smart-voltage sensor. Works fine now.

Why would you use these instead of telemetry sensors on the flight controller?
Most flight controllers can take data from barometer, voltage, airspeed, current and GPS etc. This can all be used on an fpv system as well as sent to the taranis
True but most flying is done without a flight control board.
Yer gonna need a bigger plane.
