Taranis X9D telemetry - calibrating low voltage alarms and warnings tutorial

[@carbidedge]

Thank you for a super video, I wrecked a Lipo yesterday prompting me to look for an alert, your work is brilliant, thank you.

[@WhirlyBloke]

No problem.

[@Dec1duousTree]

Thank you! Great setup info! Definitely need this!

[@WhirlyBloke]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrJarrod]

Thankyou I have been using Oscar langs version and still get false alarms and is far more complicated. This one works better and is simpler. AAA++++

[@MrJarrod]

Just bought a new radio, still coming back to your video lol.

[@Catiadr]

Good advice, I just set this up last night after I finally got a telemetry capable receiver installed.

[@jlarson42]

Very helpful. Easy to follow. Thanks.

[@TheDjFac]

Wonderful! Next improvement would be to select battery cell count from switch or buttons and have a a

[@WhirlyBloke]

Great idea.

[@dr.razorx]

Master Taranis !One of the best Videos of Taranis i have seen. I have upgrade my radio and not showing VFAS, WICH ONE is the new name for VFAS ?On Radio? Thanks a Lot ! Greetings from Peru

[@WhirlyBloke]

Wow, thanks!

[@bl4947]

Nice video mate! Helped me a lot to understand what's possible with the Taranis. Added L03|a>x|Throttle|-95 on L01 and L02 chaned switch to L03. Useful for Planes.

[@WhirlyBloke]

Glad it helped.

[@gregorydobson4307]

Very well explained, thankyou whirly bloke.

[@WhirlyBloke]

Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

[@HungryCodeMonkey]

Great video, just getting into opentx 2.2 on an x10s and these settings are amazing. Thanks for the great video!

[@alanaucote795]

Great vids but I can’t find Vfas in the drop down when setting low battery warning Keep up the good work 👍

[@ianhuxstep211]

Very good video and easy to follow, you set the logical switch "AND" function to be used with a switch could a throttle value be used for example the battery "condition" alarms will only sound when throttle is above -100

[@WhirlyBloke]

Yes there's loads of logic you can use to get whatever behaviour you need. Thanks for the feedback.

[@blooskyy7]

Thanks for this great video, I've set this up on my TX16S and it's working well. Would you perhaps know how to disable the default RX battery warnings, as I now have both warnings?

[@WhirlyBloke]

Check my Zorro video. It's basically the same on a TX16S to set the voltages and warnings kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3fZfYSvaLClgdU

[@elis51501]

Excellent explanation of logical switches! Would you be able to assist with setting up a special function of? IF [throttle value]>[min throttle] AND [idle up switch] is not activated THEN overwrite [arm switch value] to [disarmed]

[@drbanana4993]

Followed your tutorial. Very clear instructions. Then I spent next 2 hours trying to figure out why it wasn't working for me. Turns out that I didn't have the sound pack downloaded onto a SD card. Anyone wondering why there is no sound. Make sure you have the sound pack downloaded from open TX. still a great tutorial tho. Thank you.

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks. And thanks for watching.

[@elis51501]

It’s for the Mr.Steele idle up setup he uses that I setup on my taranis but I would like to add this feature to prevent enabling idleup with the throttle potentially set to mid position and causing the quad to arm and take off:)

[@mikeflieger1809]

Very good description!!

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks

[@irwan_rc2416]

But What if I sometimes use 3 or 4cell lipo on one quad...?

[@maximussmackus8282]

Great video,easy to follow.

[@macelius]

Perfect helpful video, thank you.

[@WhirlyBloke]

Glad it helped.

[@redazu911]

How do you fix the VFAS increments on the X9D+? On my 1s quad it just jumps from 3.81v to 3.62v to 3.43v to 3.2v or something. It's not accurate at all. If voltage is at 3.6v then it will show 3.43v the whole time for example. It just shows those few increments. On my x-lite it actually shows the voltage to the 100th of a volt. Example 3.61v, 3.60v, 3.59v, 3.58v all the way down nicely.

[@MaxPower-zp7wy]

What if I only want to know the transmitter voltage or transmitter battery low readout ?

[@kevofpv]

thank you alot! best voltage setting for my taranis!

[@richardlong3615]

Why does your telemetry return VFAS as the flight battery voltage whereas mine returns CELS? Is there a difference?

[@neverknownbetter]

great video on how to set voltage alerts..thanks.. where did you get the bold font that you have on the taranis?

[@WhirlyBloke]

The font is part of the OpenTX build options. Just select the font in the OpenTX Companion Here's how kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJXXc3eDh8dqock

[@ChristKrew-Rev1.8]

will this work with a fixed wing receiver or do you have to have certain electronics to get this to work for a vfas voltage alarm?

[@WhirlyBloke]

You can put this on anything - RC quad, plane, boat, car. You need a flight controller that has a voltage sensor, supporting firmware and a receiver that supports telemetry.

[@ChristKrew-Rev1.8]

@@WhirlyBloke Thank you sir.

[@TerminatorDuo]

Thanks man very nice exlained!

[@Thewiruz1]

Do i need to have that switch or can i just use the functions without a switch? Anyway this is very good tutorial! Thank you sir!

[@WhirlyBloke]

Not sure how you could do this without using switches. Thanks for watching and the feedback.

[@jevgenie7094]

beautiful

[@shanehugehugentugler903]

I suppose you could do the same with cell voltage instead of VFAS that way if you use 3,4,or 5s batteries, it would have the same warnings. thanks for the vids. :)

[@eatyourvegfpv]

That's what I was thinking but I'm new to all this so I don't know what value input is individual cell voltage... Can you help, please?

[@bobbinette1599]

thank you !!! mon ami !

[@WhirlyBloke]

De rien.

[@momotaro8649]

great explanation. thank you

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks. More Taranis tutorials coming soon.

[@duncb2087]

Marvellous!

[@aagirabel_MyLife]

all perfect....thanks !!!!

[@6teeth]

i live in denmark,do you have a suggestion for a cheapo varible power supply? Ty

[@WhirlyBloke]

These are the ones I use www.circuitspecialists.eu/power-supplies/bench-power-supplies/ They very reasonably proced in the UK, but no idea about Denmark.

[@6teeth]

Ty for advice.I can buy those here too i see.- circuitspecialists.glopal.com/da-DK/p-174/adjustable-dc-regulated-linear-power-supply-csi-1802x.html?.circuitspecialists.eu&GB

[@Oxizee]

my Taranis X-Lite Pro has no Vfas. Using R-Xsr reciever

[@WhirlyBloke]

Try deleting all the sensors on the X-Lite and rescanning.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Good video

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks.

[@6.5creedmoorrips6creedmoor2]

Thank you. Just subbed

[@parallaxxparallaxx8278]

Can you please attach batcrit wav file? It's cool and it's not present on new Taranis. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@WhirlyBloke]

[@gregkienle3378]

Fabulous!

[@MrJarrod]

I also calibrated my vfas sensors . The F4 was perfect , but the F7 flight controller was 0.2 off . I was surprise. as the f4 is a clone and the F7 was by holybro . $$$$$$.,

[@AegeanEpiphany]

What a complete pain, no wonder I use Jeti and Futaba
