Text sent by telemetry #2680

Open mrosenfield2 opened 1 year ago

mrosenfield2 commented 1 year ago

I want to switch from Spektrum RC radios to FRSky radios, but my system requires the ability to send text messages from the remote system to the transmitter. Spektrum has this capability - 9 lines of 18 characters can be displayed on one of the telemetry screens. Can this be added to FRSky radios?

9 line of 18 chars. How many frames are needed on Spektrum system for that?

bsongis-frsky commented 1 year ago

With a Lua script it will be possible already. I am thinking of the possibility to define such a sensor in the spec. without any need to implement a Lua script.

Each line is output as one frame. Sorry, it’s up to 13 characters per line. I’ve attached their telemetry spec; see bottom of page 13 and top of page 14.

I am pretty new working with FrSky. How would I define a sensor, or use LUA script?

This is what I was looking for. I did made sensors but I would like to be able to send text. I know it can be done with a LUA script but that is another learning curve of which it will take time.

It would also be excellent if value, text boxes and background can change colours if a DIY sensor sent a command to do so.

Imagine having a textbox for a turbine throttle. It could display red background with a word `STOP', and normal text colurs with throttle percentage.
