PowerBox Core - Atom : Telemetry Alarms and Audio Settings

[@harrypeberdy4090]

Thank you so much for your video's I have had my core for a number of years and still learning keep them coming Harry

[@juanserra7194]

Wow … you are making the money I spent on this radio worth it !!! ….. many many thanks … please keep them coming

awesome!! this was really helpful

[@PeterOZ61]

great video as always, voltage alarts are useful but would like to know what Rf thresholds to expect with the Core & PBR Rx in order to set up realiostic alerts.

Costas, would you be able to go through setting up how to add continuous speed audio once you drop landing flaps so you can keep speed above stall speed please

@@stevemorgan5684 Hi Steve... Check out the follwing video I made. In your case you can just use the air speed sensor as the input for reading out. You would also use the same switch for your flaps to enable or disable the telemetry control thereby enabling or disabling the voice announcement. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mV6bfnSKYpiGpZYfeature=shared

Since there is a Core LQ1 and LQ2, as well as a Receiver LQ1 and LQ2 (and a single LQI option), are both (Core LQI and Receiver LQI) important to monitor on the main screen with a widget and alarms, or is one preferred over the other to ensure monitoring of proper signal strength. On the main screen, I was thinking about putting widgets containing Core LQ1 and LQ2, then just one widget for the PBR-9D LQI (not the separate 1 & 2). What’s your thoughts on this regarding LQI and what widgets are most important to have on the main screen and alarm thresholds for?

[@CVHeliPilot]

LQI is basucally an aggregate value of LQ1 and LQ2. So you just really need to monitir LQI in the screen as you can always look at individual LQI 1&2 values for further analysis (if actually required) within the logs. Core LQI is basically measuring link quality of the telemetry link ie reception of the transmitted sugnal from the Rx. Rx quality is most important as this is the quality if the signal as seen by the receiver. You can set an alarm threshold for LQI at around 60%... At around 40% you will see the servos start to move in steps so setting it to 60% or maybe even 50% will still give you some headroom before the controls are impacted.

@@CVHeliPilot Fantastic! Thank you for the great explanation. I truly appreciate it.

[@maciekkormicki9298]

Let's say voltage drops below alarm setting and stays below alarm setting. That means it will anounce it only once. What if I did not hear it because of some noise that happaned exactly at the same time. I am used to having the alarm repeat based on setting 3 times, or just repeat till I land, and I deactivate alarm. Having only 1 announcement is a little dangarous to me.

[@maciekkormicki9298]

Turns out there is another video called "Telemetry with Repeating Audio Alerts" that addresses my question.

[@CVHeliPilot]

@@maciekkormicki9298 Yes, you found the video which explains this scenario.

So moved the gps 3 in a clear spot. First vertical mounted then horizontal mounted. Because. Even with 9 10 and 11 satellites it was not anywhere near accurate. So hmmm. Now what. ? lol.

[@CVHeliPilot]

Maybe take a look at the logs and plot the sat count across the flight and see if it is losing sats during the flight.

[@DonGottlieb-gh3oq]

@@CVHeliPilothmmm. I’ve heard some people put a filter somewhere in the electronics. Have you heard of that?

[@CVHeliPilot]

@@DonGottlieb-gh3oq The filter is only needed when the gps will not work at all..ie no sat reception.

[@DonGottlieb-gh3oq]

Oh. Well. Ok
