EdgeTX Setting Up Low Flight Battery Telemetry Warnings

[@carlossp1]

I had no idea how to do this and your post solved my problem. This post is very clear and direct to the point. Congratulations and thank you.

I’m trying to bind a R88 receiver by Radiomaster ! I don’t c it in the menu! Lol thanks for your time! You have been a big help!!!!

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Dale, The binding procedure is: Hold down the bind button on your receiver and plug in the power. Go to radio click bind. Once bound disconnect power from receiver. Reconnect power to receiver you should be bound. FrSky Receivers: If you receive is the ACCESS protocol it will not bind to your multi protocol module. It needs to be ACCST but it can use v1 or v2 firmware and there is no way to tell what your FrSky receiver firmware version is, FrSky do not make it easy. In.your radio select Type FrSky X subtype D8. Let me know how you get on.

Vos video sont vraiment très utiles , j'apprends énormément de choses ,c'est génial

[@AcadJim]

Just what I needed to know! Thanks

[@crazylolsbg]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am way to stupid to figure something likecthat out.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

You are very welcome. After using EdgeTX for a few months you will be a pro. 😊

[@PrudenceMeyer-l7o]

hello Bill, The function you use in your vid doesn’t appear in my TX16S as mentioned in my initial message. I use the built-in function ‘Batt’ (in the TX) as value for V1. My EdgeTX version is v. 2.9.2 ‘Providence’ from 2023-11-12. This might be useful for other readers ? Nevertheless your vid was helpful for me to understand how edgeTX works as am the bloody beginner here. So far thanks for it. 👍😊 Regards. Prudence

[@stephenmurphy8349]

This is great. Thanks! I have a Boxer, can this be set direcctly on the controller? I haven't downloaded the EdgeTX companion software yet.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

You are very welcome. Yes it can.

[@calmarcalmar]

😍 thx

[@rateau-789]

Hi, can I directly do this process in my radiomaster tx16s ??

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Yes if you have the telemetry sensor coming from your receiver.

[@emmauscounselling641]

Hello Bill. Thanks for your very helpful videos. Here is my question: is it possible to get a visual percentage of the flight battery on the home screen? Telemetry comes in on A3 and I can view that on the screen, but I would love to be able to look down and see that I am at 60% remaining. I can do it for the Tx battery, but not the plane battery. Thanks, Paul

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Paul, could you please tell me which radio you have and I will try to assist you.

[@emmauscounselling641]

@@the-happy-RC-flyer hi Bill, thanks for the quick reply. Radiomaster tx16s using a 3s flight battery in one plane and a 4s in another plane. The max and min values don’t allow for decimal points so the percentage is not accurate enough. Paul

[@emmauscounselling641]

P.S.: using a Lemon Rx

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Paul, you can put a decimal point I do in the video. I assume you have two models set up one for each plane so you can set up the warnings for the two different voltage batteries. Looking down at your radio while flying is not recommended so the audible warnings are ideal.

[@emmauscounselling641]

@@the-happy-RC-flyerHi Bill: thanks. I accept your suggestion that an audio warning is better than looking down at the radio. Good point! I appreciate your helpful ideas. Paul

[@LeenBuurman]

Bill, Can you show how to do this on the RadioMaster Pocket?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Leen, the programming will be the same but I will schedule to make a tutorial video for the Pocket. Watch this space!

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Leen, video will be released Friday.

[@shtumpa1]

Why would a logical switch need a switch, the switch in not needed. thanks for the video

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Mark, you can use a physical switch to activate the logical switch.

[@rateau-789]

Hi, I receive the Radiomaster Pocket, I can't find the track : fbl ... do I need to download them ??

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

If you do not see the file in your sounds list then it will be a custom sound I made. These videos should help you. How to make custom sounds kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqKpaHuLqKulpKcsi=_62oAccBxAWNU0n- Assign Sounds kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYCyh6ardtegnLssi=xA4G3yCvcMWsDcPz

[@Johnsen72]

Hi and thanks for posting very useful tutorials, great work! New to TX16S and trying to setup a voltage alarm for flight battery. Receiver is FrSky S8R which should have a built-in battery voltage sensor (according to specs). However, we're not seeing the same list as yours when selecting the V1 column in the Logical Switches in Companion. Any ideas where we should start troubleshooting? Thanks again!

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi, I think you will need to buy a FrSky voltage sensor. It appears the receiver has RxBat which will only show the receiver voltage which should be 5v.

[@PrudenceMeyer-l7o]

Nice and interesting vid except that neither the used function nor the used sound are available in the TX16S bought in December.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Prudence, the video shows how to set up this function but you will need a receiver capable of receiving the battery voltage which is much higher than 5v and the telemetry sensor to do the job. So that’s a hardware requirement. Sounds, if you cannot find the sounds I use in my videos then they are custom sounds I have made.

[@PrudenceMeyer-l7o]

hi Bill, That’s all clear! My RX returns the voltage and the sound isn’t the main issue. But the function you’re using isn’t available; At least in my TX16S which is quite recent (December). I downloaded the companion a few days ago. Have tried another function which I’ll test this afternoon. Regards. Prudence

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Exactly what function is missing, what is the option not appearing?

[@jazpion]

i found txbt, serves as V1? I'm using Expresslrs 2.4 and I didn't find the one you indicated.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Just discover the sensors and look at the values if you have flight battery voltage you should see the packs value.

[@timwe6557]

same problem here. i use elrs 2.4 too

[@HeliZero]

Hi! So i have set up my alarm on a 6S pack for 21,6 volts. That should be okay right?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Yes should be fine.

[@jeepoyfernandez]

can i do it with radio master pocket??if yes can you a make a video

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

If you follow the instructions in this video you will be able set this up in your Pocket radio but you will need a receiver that has a telemetry sensor for the flight battery.

[@jeepoyfernandez]

@@the-happy-RC-flyer what types of rx needed?I have ER4.but may be er series just can transmit telemetry data just the voltage only.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

@@jeepoyfernandezthe ER4 does not have External Voltage input but the ER6 does.

[@jeepoyfernandez]

@@the-happy-RC-flyer I have ER4 has telemetry Rx bat only like 4s it display 16 volts..and one more..I was thinking that telemetry data may save instead

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

With any receiver you will need a input for the external voltage this is because the receiver only requires 5v.

[@alperenozgur]

no way to set it to single cell?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Yes just set the warning voltage to 3.6 volts.

[@nerdCopter]

+1👍Oscar Liang website has some further settings/details for avoiding false or unneeded readings. personally i dont go that far, but i set set if/then logic for above a small voltage so that i don't get 0 volts readings. what i'd love to do but have not yet, is set logic for my ELRS where it understands my 1S setups versus my 6S setups and reports properly.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

This video should help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWKbaaNtoc2ens0

[@BendApparatus]

Can you direct me to that article? I'm trying to have my radio give a more accurate read out of the flight batt. Right now a fresh battery is read as 82% and at 20% my batteries are actually at 12-13% I'd also would love to understand how to set up an audible like this video glossed over.

[@nerdCopter]

@@BendApparatus i think the message will not post with links. :( i replied a couple days ago.

[@pixeldude1335]

My English is not good and I understand you very poorly. What do you say at 1:30 what is the difference between RxBt+, RxBt and RxBt-? Translated by Google.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

If there is a + after the sensor this will show the highest value the sensor reached. - after the sensor value will show the lowest value the sensor reached. No + or- is the current value which can / will fluctuate. This is useful for RSSI radio link so you can see the lowest RSSI value for the flight or the highest. Any further help let me know.

[@albertherlicka4078]

I have the telemetry button and a couple others stuck in the in position. Is there a way to change them out or is this something I need to send in for repair?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

It depends on the radio it your radio is a RadioMaster check their website for available spare parts.
