Screen brightness on a knob? // EDGETX GLOBAL FUNCTIONS HOW-TO

[@chrisyoung8062]

A few days ago I upgraded from 2.5 to 2.6 and one thing I noticed is that my screen brightness no longer went all the way down to black. I enquired about this on the ETX discord and found out that this was an intentional change to prevent someone from getting locked-out of their radio because you couldn't see the screen. Just thought I'd share.

[@simonwallace699]

Thanks so much for posting that. I am in the middle of making this change and noticed I couldn't go to 0 brightness and it was driving me nuts!

[@stevenedwards408]

Yes Thankyou for sharing this I've been pulling my hair out wondering why my brightness wouldn't turn sll the way down on edgetx with this method. At least now I know it's not something I've done wrong or an issue with my radio. Nice one 👍🏻

[@FlashFPV]

ohhhhhh So that's why. I was getting mad here trying to figure out what was I doing wrong. Thank you for sharing this information.

[@kaptkrunchfpv]

Pretty smart idea on the Devs side I think.

[@YogeshPatel-zc1ne]

anyone know a work around to this? i still want to be able to do this LOL

[@moe_mcflight_fpv]

for the boxer: u need 2 lines ON________Backlight_____S2 SA(Down)_Backlight_____ (no select) this - - - lines set the standart backlight brightness to 0 and the auto shutoff to a value what u want or set the backlight Mode to ON

[@Gracana]

Great tip! FWIW, I set up my global function line to enable the backlight knob when my switch is in the disarm position, then set the backlight to "off." When the switch is in the arm position, the default "off" value is applied, otherwise I get the knob setting.

[@kaptkrunchfpv]

When I dipped my toes in fpv back in the day, none of this content existed, parts were all DIY. Coming back to the hobby after many years I am finding it much easier to get information on these types of things. I have watched many of your videos, in fact the one about phantom spinning motors due to airmode, saved me a LOT of panic and searching! Thanks for this type of content as well. Have a great flight!

[@beauheath4863]

You can implement a special function using a logical function (XOR SF DOWN) in a model to achieve turning screen off if you have the arm down and disarm up - you posed this question in your video. Hope this helps others. Thanks for vid

[@MeTwoFive]

Last comment is probably in needs moderation limbo so I'll just omit the link. Just a heads up, I'm using Edge TX 2.6.0 on the Radiomaster TX16s and it all works except for turning the screen backlighting completely off. They made a change in 2.6.0 so that radios with a color LCD will only go to a certain minimum brightness and not completely off. Even the OFF option in the Mode options has been removed. Thanks again for the great work and content.

[@LicardoFPV]

Yeah, I thought my radio was broken and then I found out that screen in edgetx 2.6 can't be set completely off

[@SmudgeFPV]

omg same like me. I think my radio was broken too.. thx bro

[@greatgandalf5233]

I am a long-time fixed wing rc aircraft that is "trying " to switch from a Spektrum DX8 gen 2 to a Radiomaster TX16S. Wow, long and steep learning curve. I really appreciate your TX16S videos. Well done 👏! Background I am/was a USMC NFO for the A6Es Intruders. Aaaaarrrrhh!

[@jlester42]

Moving a lot of my planes from my SX20 to my TX-16S Max. Yeah, there's quite a learning curve, but once you get used to it, it seems a lot more intuitive than the DX20. And the touch screen sure speeds things up.

[@MCsCreations]

Well, I think the momentary switch is a good idea. Because, if in any weird situation you need to look at your screen while armed... You have that.

[@matkorez]

You could just use the first global function and turn down the brightness all the way down in radio setup. This will have the desired effect of "turning off" the screen while armed. It also works with 3 position switches.

[@h2o40fpv]

Oh ho ok today is my first day of my vacation so im watching a lots of videos that will help me with the edgetx radios and so far is been great thank you JB.😊

You're wrong. I don't know what about but I'm really bad about not following advice on the Internet.

[@aakashjana6225]

You are perfectly right! I switched to EdgeTX after you made the video and I am loving it!

[@anomoly40]

Mine dims but doesn't turn off.

[@CyclingMikey]

@@valentin.kompatscher Thank you very much - that was the reason. :)

[@hoddem]

This was the first thing I did, I put the brightness on a pot and then setup the screen so it’s locked from touch and goes dim while armed. I also have an override switch so I can use the screen while armed if needed. It’s easy to overdo it with all the functions.

[@RCwithAdam1]

That's actually suuuuuper handy and I don't have any other use for the wheel switch! 👍

[@Dorff_Meister]

Thanks! This helped me assign backlight and volume to those two knobs. Important functions and I'd yet to find a use for those knobs.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Glad it helped!

[@alphayt6434]

This was hard to do on the RM pocket but i figured it out Thanks JB❤

[@nouc23]

To use something more "static" than a momentary switch. In Harware, we can set an additional switch, e.g. SI as a toggle, and then we will no longer have a physical switch. Only set the SI which will always have a constant value. Well, unless someone modified the radio by adding additional buttons.

[@seattleitefpv]

Yup, one of the first things I set up on my new TX16s with EdgeTX. It's great to be able to tweak the brightness with a knob depending on the light conditions, and to turn it off completely when flying.

[@keepfly5771]

I'm using the SA arm switch and it's all working fine using the momentary switch accept, it's not turning right off when armed? Still turning all the way down though so a big upgrade for this guy. I did the volume too, who knew setting up two nobs could be so satisfying, lol.

[@NorgeSquad]

This is a underrated trick! Everyone should do this

[@jacobreezyfpv6287]

I never thought of setting up it this way that's why I love watching your videos

[@16-BITFPV]

So far no problems running out of battery. Using a 1W module I get 2-3 days. With the 4 in 1 more like 2 weeks. But I could see this being useful for siming in a dark room.

[@MCsCreations]

Oh, that's pretty sweet! 😃 Thanks a lot, Joshua!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@jasonhurdlow6607]

My biggest gripe with the TX16S is that the screen goes dark when you wear polarized sunglasses as it's a polarized screen. If they'd just rotate the screen 90 degrees that problem would go away. Sadly, I have been unable to find sunglasses (particularly ones that fit over prescription glasses) that have a compatible (or no) polarization, and almost all good sunglasses these days are polarized. It's really annoying. Do I want to be able to see my airplane? or see my screen? It shouldn't be a dilemma like that.

[@petrokey]

The sound on knob 2 is configured the same way - is it?

[@Alohakoa59]

This is one of those special videos, love it!!

[@attackfpv]

Thanks Bardwell! Haven't made the switch but plan to soon

it works u need 2 lines ON________Backlight_____S2 SA(Down)_Backlight_____ (no select) this - - - lines Set the normal backlight to 0 And the auto shutoff to a value what u want or set the backlight Mode to ON

[@werner7156]

Hello, I have the version of Edge TX 2.7.1 and there is no mode off and the selection Backlight (radio setup), using the Poti S1 in the GF menu is functional but the screen cannot be completely darkened. In order to save as much power as possible, I can only select the option (Both) in the menu (Radio Setup / Backlight) and force the backlight to turn off, but as soon as even one stick or other component is moved, the screen switches on again with the preset potentiometer value . It would sometimes be really helpful to know which firmware is requirement in case of any problems, I only read after a while that with the version 2.6.1 the complete darkening is no longer possible. A reference to this should actually be given along with a current video like this one.

[@ZeroVoltFPV]

Thanks for confirming the inability to completely darken screen as well as stating the reason WHY :D Your comment helped clear my confusion as to why I couldn't achieve the same results as the video.

[@jumpstartfpv]

This will be a really nice use of the trim switch.

[@mickeymch876]

I've always thought those big screens benefit fixed wing but not really anything else. Helicopters and fpv their isn't much looking at the transmitter while your flying. Black and white 2d text lcd is good enough for me. Even on a heli with telemetry I would use a vibrating alarm to let me know when the voltage was low and it was time to land before I dropped out of the sky.

[@BlaiseFPV]

[@devsfan1830]

Through trial and error i THINK i have a solution for where you pull to arm and push to disarm. Did this on my FrSky XLite. I have the radio backlight setting set to ON. Reading from left to right as I dont know what the field names are off the top of my head. In Global Functions: I have the first field set to my arm switch down (disarm positon), second field backlight. The third field is set to a knob/pot, in my case S2 (right shoulder dial). Checkbox enabled. Now. In the disarm mode. Backlight is ON. Dial does nothing. When armed, dial controls brightness. I just keep the knob at zero but it lets me dial up the brightness to peek at the screen if need be while armed.

[@Yaroslav_Tselovanskyi]

On my Boxer the knob has that potentiometer jittering so the screen starts flashing randomly if the knob is between the potentiometer positions. When I tried to use it for volume control every time I restart - the knob has different range of adjustment.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

My guess is that when you calibrated the sticks, you didn't calibrate the pots. You have to calibrate all analog inputs including the 6-position button.

[@turbowillem]

How can I implement yellow collor in functions on the screen? like flight control bars.

[@djnitor]

Joshua, can you help me how to program a 3 position switch to work as On and Off for wheel retracts that will disregard the middle postion of the switch?

I found that if I temporarily set Logical Switch 64 to be active and assign the global function to turn off the backlight.... then delete the L64 switch from my model it will then behave properly..... it's a bit of a hack but it doesn't tie any additional physical switches and I don't think I will be using all 64 logical switches.

[@blackhoodiefpv3626]

I just got tx16s recently. You rock!

[@fpvlive]

Followed your video, I'm on edgeTX 2.6 on the TX16S. Strange thing in my case can't alter the timeout of the screen in on mode and in other modes can't get it to 0. Also when setting up the knob It's kinda working but can't get the screen turned down completely to black

[@MeTwoFive]

I commented directly but after your comment, they made a change in 2.6 so that the screen can't go bellow a minimum brightness only for controllers with a color LCD.

[@pink_kaju]

On edgeTX 2.6 it will go down to only 5s. The lowest brightness is just min brightness but not OFF.

[@jlarson42]

Elrs devs will probably come up with eye tracking somehow with the tx modual to just turn the screen on when you look at it. I'm only like 50% joking.

[@HighVoltageMadness]

It might be possible actually. It could be done by measuring the change in DbM when you are near the transmitter. Sorta like those RF body proximity detectors.

Hey Joshua. I think I may send my TX16s to the TV show Unsolved Mysteries. For several months after going from Opentx to Edge TX, I have had a touch screen. Suddenly it's gone.

EdgeTX 2.6 doesn't go all the way to 0% because they don't want to risk you not being able to see the screen if you screw up the programming.

It is barely visible, but if you have a flashlight, you can shine the light into the screen, and this helps enough to be able to fix your blunder :)

The screen timeout always resets itself when you move a control. In theory, the special function could completely lockout the screen.
