Updates in this release to the lua scripts include:

  • New layout on Main telemetry screen
  • One telemetry screen for both Copter and Plane AP versions - telempc.lua (the choice of Copter/Plane is now an option in the offset.lua mixer script). This new script replaces both coptr217 and plane217 telemetry scripts.
  • offset.lua has been updated to include additional options:
    • SpeedUnits - choose between 1 (m/s), 2 (kph), 3 (mph) - this affects the displayed units for GSpd and Aspd on main telemetry screen
    • AltUnits - choose between 1 (metres), 2 (feet) - this affects the displayed units for Alt, Distance from home, and Climb rate (although m/s, f/s in this case).
    • Coptr/Plan - choose between 1 (copter), 2 (plane) - this sets up the script with the correct flight modes for the chosen version.
  • txtmsg.lua telemetry script added - this displays the status messages - support for this script added to teensy code in this release.
  • Support for the standard naming convention of Tmp1 and Tmp2 sensors - OpenTx uses these names by default during discovery. So just discover these and its done - no further configuration of them required. For this release, it is suggested to delete the previous T1 and T2 sensors and re-run the discovery to add these back in.
  • Have removed the use of OpenTx Model Global Variables by mixer and telemetry scripts.

Updates in this release to the Teensy code include:

  • New code added to support the TxtMsg lua screen
  • Updates to the FrSkySportTelemetry library - some standardisation changes plus new functions to allow more efficient coding in main teensy sketch. Be sure to install the new FrSkySportTelemetry.zip library included with this release before writing the Teensy sketch - otherwise there will be compile time errors.
  • Changes to the presentation of the GSpd telemetry sensor - this allows for standardisation changes in the FrSkySportTelemetry library (bringing it closer to the original Pawelsky library) and allows for the default sensor configuration provided by the OpenTx sensor discovery process. It also aligns the sensor configuration of GSpd in with ASpd in OpenTx (both are discovered with the unit of kts - this should be left alone, even though the value shown is in m/s). For this release, it is suggested to delete the previous GSpd and ASpd sensors and re-run the discovery to add these back in.

The Wiki has been updated to reflect the changes in this release.
