JUMPER T16 BETAFLIGHT LUA SCRIPT

[@TMacFPV]

Let me know if you currently do (or plan to) use Betaflight Lua script with your transmitter and how in the Comments below! What do you use them for and how do you like them? Got any other ideas for a Lua script ( a "wish list")? What page of the Lua script do you find most useful? 🤔

[@espenchristensen9581]

Hey Mac, thanks for all the good work, will do everything you have done on my t16, waiting for the cable to upgrade my internal so in a few days. upgrade and Lua.

[@TMacFPV]

@@espenchristensen9581 You're quite welcome Espen! Outstanding! Let me know how it goes fro you👍😀

Dosn´t work for me... I have OpenTX 2.3.4 installed and both 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 not working. It shows BF/protocols.lua:40 Telemetry protocol not supported. Any idea whats wrong? Thanks!

[@PredatorRacingTas]

@@maykdo I have the same problem with the latest V1.5.0 (Telemetry protocol not supported) Open TX on the Jumper T16 Pro is also the latest version

[@MrOrangeman18]

@@PredatorRacingTas i had the same issue. got it to work in the end

[@Dieselshroom]

So glad we have a stable release of OpenTX with working lua script finally. Got mine all updated a couple of days ago. And, just a handy tip... you can actually just edit the .lua files with notepad or text editor. You don't need to download and install another program to do that. Another nice video TMac. Thanks!

[@TMacFPV]

Me too Joshua! Appreciate the info. I first edited the script with Notepad++ and attempted save as Lua file, however it did not work for me. The option was there and I selected it but it just kept saving it as "file" and wouldn't run on T16. So, I had to find another editor which worked for me. That's why I say in video to just find an editor that saves as a Lua file.

[@Dieselshroom]

If you enable show "file name extensions" in your file explorer then you should be able to just ensure that the "ui" ends with .lua and ur good to go. That's what worked for me at least. Also, I believe if you just select "save" rather than "save as" it will keep the original extension type by default and be good to go as well.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - your guides are the clearest ones going around. This is teaching a man to fish versus giving him a fish. Awesome to see your subscriber count growing - keep up the great work! PS. If you want a bit of a challenge, try doing a tutorial for changing the T16 face plate to the carbon fibre one ;)

[@TMacFPV]

Thanks friend. Exactly what I'm hoping for, learn to fish! I'll leave the faceplate changing to you!😁👍

[@yawdog370]

This was super helpful. Really easy. I didn’t have the correct usb cord so I used my SD card/micro SD adapter and put the files on that way.

[@TMacFPV]

Perfect Adam!👌 Happy you found it useful 👍

[@dertbv]

I have both Jumper R1 and S-rxs connected with and neither will populate the fields in the lua scripts page, Telemtry is working as i am showing RSSI and other values. Any idea where the misconnect could be?

[@samavella8831]

Hey Mac, I just installed it and although the script runs, my values are not populate. I ran it on my EMAX TinyHawk with a FrSky XM+ receiver and with my Beta85X with a FrSky R-XRS receiver and I get the same results (all blank values for all the pages). I’m running BetaFlight 4.1.1 on both quads and I have my Jumper T16 on OpenTX 2.3.4.

[@TMacFPV]

You need a telemetry receiver. XM+ is not a telemetry receiver. If you have the stock Beta85x it does not have an R-XSR telemetry receiver on it.

[@samavella8831]

TMac For the Beta85X I replaced the FrSky FCC with the R-XSR one that I had installed by my local hobby shop.

[@TMacFPV]

@@samavella8831 if you have an R-XSR telemetry receiver installed, go to your telemetry page of model setup menu and "Discover New Sensors" while both transmitter and quadcopter are powered on. See my video on the Jumper R1 receiver for more telemetry setup info

[@samavella8831]

TMac I did the Discover Sensors options and I still don’t get any inputs. I’ll send you a few screenshots via email to show you what my telemetry looks like. Maybe you’ll see something that I’m missing. Thanks.

[@darkness1943]

@@samavella8831 Better you post your issue in an R/C forum... Certainly there were already such problems and it was reported in forums ... and maybe you should try the search first or create a new post so that others can find a solution faster. if Tmac tries to solve every single problem he will soon run out of time for good videos ... Did you set the telemetry return channel (serial out to r-xsr) in Betaflight?

[@EvilDxtreme]

Good video. You can also long press on the page button from the main screen to access the Lua script. I don't have this radio but should be the same as any other opentx radio.

[@MrOrangeman18]

i have tried this and it does not work on mine running lua 1.5

[@mchevalier77]

I installed the lua script 1.5.0 in a Radiomaster TX16S and had some trouble. I unpacked the zip file to the obj folder and merged the contents with the SD card. When I went to run it, there was no script in the BF folder. Looked on the SD card and found bf.lua and bf.luac in other folders and moved them to the BF folder. Attempts to execute resulted in a message that said initializing at which point the process froze. I then installed 1.4.1 which had the files in the BF folder and it works.

[@TMacFPV]

hmmm 🤔 Glad you got it working!👍

[@Sackenstein]

Thanks for the great video. I'm not quite up to that level but will be there soon. I'm looking forward to watching your videos in the new year. Thanks TMac.

[@TMacFPV]

You're always welcome Lawrence! Great to hear from you again. Take care friend 👍 Have a fantastic New Year 😁

[@macelius]

Anyone figure out how to get the battcheck widgets working on the T16? I can get the value widget to display VFAS or anything i want no problem, but nothing from battcheck..

[@TMacFPV]

What do you mean by battcheck, the transmitter's battery voltage? If you mean the transmitter's battery voltage, its under Value, Batt

[@macelius]

@@TMacFPV one of the widget selections on my T16 (with opentx 2.3.9-otx) is called "BattCheck", available for both the top bar and main screen. The only documentation i've been able to find is in the widget section on page 22 of the Horus pdf on the page below, listed as "Battery Check" along with the other widgets, and some vague references to a horus lua script in a github lua scripting discussion. It looks really neat with a battery gauge, percentage, and voltage, so it'd be great to get it working. openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=8724 It's kind of like this, but looks much better: github.com/opentx/opentx/pull/6229

[@TMacFPV]

@@macelius yep, I see it now. Thanks. I've not used that myself. It appears its for the aircraft model battery voltage. It also looks like it requires a "special voltage sensor" (FLVSS or FMVSS, my guess is FMVSS is newer version?) OR some type of voltage sensor onboard aircraft model that measures (individual?) cell voltage. haven't watched the whole thing myself but here's a short 6-minute video on setting up FLVSS telemetry sensors kzbin.info/www/bejne/omm3lomnZsedars

[@macelius]

@@TMacFPV Very interesting, thanks! I was wondering about how it was getting the individual cell voltage. I'm still pretty new to this so I knew I was missing something :)

[@tlapa32]

It doesnt work on Jumper T16 with Betaflight LUA script version 1.5 Any idea what can I do with that?

[@tlapa32]

My excuse, the model has to be power... :-) Betaflight LUA script than works well

[@TheTorgehal]

Hello TMac! Thanks for your instructive video. Any chanse you can assist in a slite problem? I have Mateksys F772-SE and Mateksys VTX-Mini. BF 4.1.5 and OpenTx 2.3.7. Correct VTX frequency table loaded from Mateksys wep-page. VTX Telemetry connected to UART6 (Tx6) on FC. Running latest LUA script (1.4.1) I get to see the status vith the BF-Lua and asdust e.g. GPS sats required. But when trying to interact with the VTX settings I only get to se updats done in BF-Configurator, but can't change any data in from the Horus X10 LUA scritp. Neither I can get the BFOSD to work to see or adjust the settings on the video monitor. And the VTX buttons on the VTX-mini is "locked" as it should be when detecting TRAMP configured in the Ports tab in BF. Any helt to get this sorted out is much apprechiated. Kind regards, Torgeir

[@TMacFPV]

Just saw your comment. Do you have UART 6 in Ports Tab of BF enabled for Tramp Protocol?

[@TheTorgehal]

@@TMacFPV Hi! Yes to both. Since then I have installed INAV and (even with the BF LUA script) it is working. I'm able to adjust VTX frequency/Band/Ch and output power. So I'm not sure what was going on with BF. I will probably stick with INAV for now, since it offers RTL. Useful for a long range cinematic drone :) But thanks anyway. Br. Torgeir

Hello TMac. Everything works great, extra tutorial. But ... it doesn't show me VTX data. I have F.port set. Is it normal? Or maybe change the configuration and set up S.port? Regards al_wer

[@andresgomez4030]

can you flash receiver firmware to for example an r-xsr through the jumper t16 the same way you do with a taranis?

[@TMacFPV]

Yes, video coming up on Friday shows how

[@nathanfpv3927]

How to fix lua script, my jumper t16 doesn't receive data from my quad. Thanks for the help.

[@ddfwaj]

Het T, great video thanks for making this video! Question, any way of getting LUA on a single page click vs having to hunt for it? It would be cool to assign to one of the 3 buttons like Taranis on the TELE button.

[@TMacFPV]

Hey Dennis! Thanks for your comment! I agree, it would be great. I attempted to do so by placing the appropriate file under the Scripts folder on SD card then assigning it to a Special Function in Model Setup using a switch (Switch G in my case) with the 2d column of the Special Function as SG and teh 3rd column as "Lua Script" and the 4th column as "bf" (the file name). I thought this should have worked. It did not. However, since you asked, I'll research this more with the Dev's to find out why it didn't work. If/when I find something out, I'll get back with you. More than likely, I have done something incorrectly.

[@TMacFPV]

Here's the reply I got Dennis: "Function scripts are scripts specifically designed for that purpose that execute and exit in one mixer cycle and are not allowed to use the display." so, what that means is, the Betaflight Lua script as it currently is developed we cannot just put on a switch.

[@MrOrangeman18]

version 1.5 is completly diff on the jumper t16. to the point where i cant get it to work

[@larseckardt_nl]

Yep. After updating all that can. Open TX and Internal module etc, I can not get it working again. You now have to use settings to get to the lua scripts. Ok. But whatever I try I always get this warming 'Telemetry protocol not supported'. Worked flawlesly after using this tutorial. Somehow all those updates has a bug. Can not find it yet. May be Open Tx software? I',m missing the EU box with the OT settings . Yep using LBT.

[@MrOrangeman18]

@@larseckardt_nl yea i got mine to work too, shame you cant set it up as a widget so you can just page over when on the main page of the tx. instead you have to go through the settings to get to it, not user friendly at all

[@elpipozgz]

Perfect How-to Lua! do you know if we can have a physical direct button to open the lua script like on the frsky taranis?? thanks!!

[@TMacFPV]

I thought of putting it on a switch with a Special Function however, per OpenTX Dev: "Function scripts are scripts specifically designed for that purpose that execute and exit in one mixer cycle and are not allowed to use the display." So, what that means is, the Betaflight Lua script as it currently is developed we cannot just put on a switch. Its not bad the way it is, just 5 quick button presses. 1. Radio Setup, 2. Page, 3.Enter (for BF folder), 4. Enter (for BF.lua), 5. Enter (for Execute)

great Vid, You said you can add #sats to the display screen, can you tell me how to do that ? #sats does show up in telemetry

[@TMacFPV]

Using TBS Crossfire. #Sats is a telemetry value you get using with GPS receiver. You just put it in a widget like any other telemetry value (see Jumper R1 Telemetry Receiver video). Did I answer your question sufficiently or was there something more?
