Pack Voltage and Rx Voltage #27

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
It would be advantagous to have both packs visable at the same time.

1) Could the size of the font be increased so that if can be seen easily when 
flying. Perhps the top and bottom of screen could have bar with rx and pack 
voltage bars with numbers in the middle
2) Ability to assign an alarm tone to Ora or Red for example.
3) Ability to easily calibrate voltage by entering the real world values of 
each. eg.below

12.6v = 2.1v = 4.2v
9.0v = 1.5v  = 3.0v

Thanks

Thanks for the ideas.

Both packs? I fly 2S, 3S, 4S and 6S aircraft. The Fr-Sky system has only two 
analogue inputs and on some versions, one of them is internally tied to the 5V 
receiver power supply. That leaves only one remaining (or two at best) analogue 
inputs.

What you have requested is certainly feasible -- but not using the Fr-Sky 
equipment on its own. It will require a separate telemetry hub, configured with 
multiple analogue inputs, which are set up to read LiPo cells individually -- 
and some kind of standardised data protocol onboard to send the information 
back to the transmitter on the user data channel. Then and only then, the 
gruvin9x firmware could be written to accommodate all that.

All of this is intended for some time in the future though. We're waiting to 
see what comes of the Fr-Sky telemetry hub product and some other stuff before 
committing to any particular plan.

I think everything asked here will be in my next drop (assuming these voltages 
will be A1 and A2)!
Let-me time to test everything carefully before and don't forget the rule in 
this FrSky branch ... under the trees for the first flights!

Larger font size view is available from the new main screens telemetry view, by 
pressing [RIGHT]. (This is the view that reads "NO DATA" in large font, when no 
receiver is switched on and sending telemetry data.)

We're awaiting the return of the graphical bars and work is needed in the model 
set-up so that the bar start/end and calibration settings are easier to use and 
work better than now. Bertrand -- talk plz to Gruvin about this when you get to 
it. Cheers.]

The telemetry settings (calibration) screen etc is the way Gruvin wants and 
likes it -- but accepted to be lacking features for others. We plan at some 
stage to add more "modes", for things like altimeter and air speed.

Meanwhile, we're mostly just waiting for the return of the graphical bars.

No need to burden Bertrand with this one, so I'm taking ownership back. It may 
not be done for the end-2011 stable release though.

This issue seems to be outdated, no longer relevant or otherwise dropped. I'll 
close it now.
