Another interesting thing you can do - since Betaflight has the ability to add aux channels to the OSD (it's something I submitted a few versions ago and they finally implemented it), you can take any of those sensors and put them up on your OSD. So, for example you wanted your radio power up in the OSD, you can do that. Also, you can do math with the mixer, so if you wanted to know how many km left you can go on your battery (km travelled divided by Batt mAh minus mAh used to get km/mAh, then multiply that out to get how many km left based on current efficiency), you could put that up in you OSD as well.
Wow what a great piece of info! It really pays to read the comments carefully
Whoa, useful.
How would you set that up? Can you do a video for us?
Thanks Joshua. I learned about telemetry by watching one of your older videos a couple of days ago. There's telemtetry, then there's full telemetry. Finally I understand! I was getting prepared for Namimno Flash arriving so had to get my head around lua scripts and more familiar with EdgeTx and my RM TX16s. Watched a vid on Edge Tx and the guy was using the touchscreens swipe function. You can touch top left to bring up menu, and swipe across menu to find other options like screen settings, that'll take you to widget settings too. You can swipe between main screens also. Edge Tx is class.
If using the scroll wheel to select values, SCROLL UP to get to the telemetry section faster. Worked this out after setting my last model :)
Great stuff your vids have helped me out sooo many times over the past 8 yrs..thank you Joshua 👌😉
Great video Joshua. Personally I'm really enjoying EdgeTX and the touch screen is really handier than I thought it would be. I'm really happy that I switched.
I set up a model on my TX16S that I use as a template for new models. It contains all the stuff I've learned how to do since I received it. You could make one for planes, helicopters, quads, etc. and just copy it..
Excellent video as always Joshua
Jasuha, your are just awesome videos, , I am a 34 year Arny officer, (veteran)who is very new to Fpv. I want others to realize what a great Fpv instructor johusha Bartwell is and become a Patron. Please support him with a minimal $5.00, the training will laugh you on the t right Fpv world quickly
If you have a T16 or something else without a touchscreen, you can use the Page button in the widget value screen to flip between the different categories.
YESS! Thank you JB! The RadioMaster TX16S is the best!
Pretty interesting indeed , Joshua! 😃
Thanks a lot!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Just got a TX16S (and TBS CRSF Micro TX2 module) a couple weeks ago and after I powered it up I quickly realized I am going to need ''to learn something'', (again), & quickly switched it off before I changed something I shouldn't have or forget what I did change and where. When I did get the courage to power it up again (after reading what little there is available), I discovered it was too late, I messed up splash screen image and whatever all it used to display before I went poking at the buttons. Now I know where it was I had been playing around in, and that's something.
Thanks for being the someone who rescues us that thought we were qualified to poke sticks at things we don't understand, (yet).
How about a video, if not one already, on how to make the lady in the radio tell me more important stuff that happens during use?
For now I still jump when I pull battery on Kwad and while getting a fresh one out or talking to observer she finally tells me telemetry lost.
Tahoe Steve has a whole 15 part series on this radio. He was a life saver when I got mine. Now I've got custom splash screens, sleep & shutdown screens, and when I fire it up is plays Doc Brown saying, "When this baby reaches 88mph you're gonna see some serious shit."
@@hazonku lol, that's Badass. Thanks for the tip on what to watch to get a handle on configuring this beast.
Great info JB I’ve got 8xquads on the same model all with crossfire nano .. so you mentioned that discover sensors will work for all the same RX ... so is it correct that I only have to do it for one of the CF nano? 😊
Just what I am currently working on!
great video, I also have moved all mine to Edge TX. I love all the widgets, and I almost never use the touch screen.
very good thank you for doing understandable and very informative videos, supercool.
hi joshua, can you maybe make a video about the iflight mach r5 quad?
Interesting. I know in your original edge tx video you weren’t going to run it on your daily driver. I see now thst you made the change. What was your deciding factor to make the change?
Great Video JB! I always wanted to know what the 1RSS meant! Cool beans!
Great tutorial !
You can copy the screen layout to each model by opening the model.yml and copying from one to the other models.
Thanks again Joshua, now I'm gonna try changing the background image (edgetx)
None of the instructions I found for opentx were quite right. Close, but slightly different..
Hi Joshua, I followed the same widget setup you have but my question is what is RF mode for? Mine shows 7 but I don't know what it's for.
Thank you for this fantastic video.
I do have a question though. In a previous video you mentioned that those AG01 gimbals don't work well with the LED rings and I see you still have them on in this video.
Are you still running lights or did you remove them? I run lights in my tx16s and I haven't upgraded the gimbals cause I like the lights but now I watched this video and I started wondering if they actually work together.
I am still running the lights. I adjusted the throw of the gimbals to be shorter so it doesn't hit the edges.
There is a battaryAnalog widget at my edgetx tx16sii (mar 2023). And it automatically assume cells number. And on my 2s high volt it tells it is almostempty 3s... Is there a way to set cells number to my model, or send avg volt over elrs telemetry?
Another great vid. I wanted to see if you think it's feasable to create a mod to where I can use the TX16s as a bench display when I'm testing etc... would it be possible to use the port in the back to piggy back an VTX antenna and use the screen while on the bench?
I have looked into this, and the way the screen is driven, you would need a whole separate adapter board to input an analog signal from a vRX module. The screen doesn't have any built in analog input.
where is the widget settings stored....good video...thanks
Great, thank you. Do you know how to remove the picture for a blank screen only? I find the picture is just clutter.
So where can I get the touch screen for my jumper t18 lite? Will the touch screen from the radiomaster fit?
Are those stick ends the grandmaster grippies sanded down at the base or something different?
But the INAV telemetry widget is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 but this is awesome for your other screens 👌
By chance is there a video on black and white displays ,i cant seem to find any and would like to add some to my radiomaster pocket for vtol and fixed wing
Great video as usual JB, I run Crossfire 6.12 on my receiver and TX16s. however when I set up the Rxbatt widget, the reading flashes between 5V {receiver voltage} and the actual quad battery voltage , so 16.4 in my case, I tried deleting the sensors and re adding them, but same values show up on my receiver?
In TBS agent lite or crossfire Lua uncheck Rx battery, cmiiw
@@petrustriarianto8726 Hmm, don't seem to have that option.
Would you do a video for the Lua scripts next?
hello, I am looking for new radio as still using my old taranis and its playing up, I want radiomaster but not sure if max with cnc as i fly only wings?
Bedankt
When using a multi-protocol TX in shopping for tiny whoops when available should I pick the FR sky or the FlySky compatible receivers
The MPM can do either. You will have most versatility if you choose Frsky receivers though.
Hi Joshua, can the radiomaster screen be used to preview FPV footage? Would come in handy if you're not quite ready to put on a whole head gear.. I know you can mount an fpv monitor to it, but it would be awesome to use the internal display, and switch it between camera view and the LUA artificial horizon view when flying a plane, for example.
No
It doesnt have a vrx
Wonder what the lemon rx would be
What's up with the 'Battcheck' widget? Seems like it'd be helpful but when I try and set it up with rxbat (or any bat telem for that matter) it just says 0.0v and 0%?
Can you make a.model template with these wigdets and just copy that?
Hey Joshua, I have set up widgets but when I turn tx16 on it has all dissapeared. Any ideas?
Fyi you can press page in value setting to switch tab in the value pick windows, at least that's what I do
why dose my rssi say 75 in my head set? it should say 99. i set it to rssi. iwas thinking maybe i need to set it to RQLY
Could you do a video on iNav Telemetry Lua Script or Yaapu Horus Mapping Widgets? Please please? 😀
If you are starting from scratch, you can duplicate an already set up model, this way you don't have to do it all over again.
Is there a way to set up anything like this on radios with monochrome screens, like the Radiomaster Zorro?
No. They don't support widgets.
in my menu im missing telemetry i dont have it do i have an too old firmware?
Put the Outputs widget on my TX16, but all my outputs for the quad are showing 98%. All my endpoints are correct. The only thing I have changed is upgraded to the AG01 gimbals. I’ve recalibrated the sticks but still shows 98%.
That's because you adjusted endpoints in the outputs tab. As long as the Betaflight receiver tab goes 1000 to 2000 that's what matters.
I don't get the Telemetry option in the sidebar when I first go to Setup widget. What could I be missing? Do I need to have a quadcopter connected when I do the setup?
You need to have previously bound to a telelemtry capable receiver, then go to telemetry screen and "discover new sensors".
Any horus style
hi great one, aquestion, i am running with edge 2.7.1 but I don't see telemetry on the selection on the widget settings like in min 6 on your video
You need to be using a receiver that supports telemetry. And go into the Telemetry screen and Discover New Sensors.
@@JoshuaBardwell thanks for your prompt response, noted i will check
My issue is that on rm pocket telemetry screen gps looks like this "gps 913", but on sensors page gps is displayed. What is wrong here?
Hey Joshua i have a xm+ hooked up bit i dont get any telementry?
XM+ doesn't support telemetry. Get RXSR :-)
There is another thing: why are the telemetry sensors on the end? When setting up widgets, telemetry values should be first ☺️
Also the standard color is white and hardly readable outside, but with themer this now is easier fixable
Scroll up instead of down, i worked this out afterwards :D
@@pressurefpv
With the wheel but not with touch screen 🤷🏼♂️
@@jas-FPV Yeah i use the wheel mate, i don't have touchscreen. With touchscreen it is not merely and extra screen touch?
actually I trying find out out how to fix channel twitch can you help
My tx16s controller doesn't turn on when connected to the pc for sim practice. I have to disconnect it and turn in on then reconnected again, can any body give me a hand or point me in the right direction. PLEASE...??
JB please make a video about how to upgrade tx R9 and rx R9mm from elrs1.2.0 to elrs2.0.0
If you could flash to 1.2.0, the process is identical for going to 2.0.0.
@@JoshuaBardwell i did on flash tx R9m to elrs 2.0, but failed when i build and flash rx R9mm via betaflight bootloader
Hello, I have frsky R XSR receiver and i dont have rxlqy, is it bad? i have tlqy only
Nope, it's not bad. That's normal for a r-xsr.
Hi there. I fly helicopters and after watching this video I would like to see my dsmx signal strength. I know how to navigate from watching but what do I choose to view this. Thank you
Using Edge tx
I have a lot of different models: planes, helicopters, quadrs. The problem is to remember the switch settings for each of them. Can I somehow put a fullscreen widget with an image? I could draw all settings on it.
set voice call-outs to the switch positions, works for me 'cos my memories crap 😁
@@stevietee10 Yes, I am using voice, but I think that maybe, there is a custom widget, wich I can use for images.
Use the Model Image widget and make a custom model image with a diagram.
@@JoshuaBardwell I thought about it, but resolution of model image is much lower, than screen resolution. And, of course, I like to see a nice model image, when I select the model in menu.
Recently got a TX16S and I agree with you, so many switches and positions I'm having a hard time remembering what I set them to do for just one KWAD right now. Having a widget or something on that nice big color screen to indicate the switches function and current state would really help a lot IMHO. Using screen display area to show stick positions or stuff I'm not going to be looking at while flying is moot and ridiculous, but being able to remind myself with a quick check glance at screen I could use.
Is it Possible to get RxBt from ELRS, I only see 10 sensors and no RXBt
Have you enabled Telemetry feature in the Configuration tab of your FC?
@@JoshuaBardwell Perfect, that worked straight away, thank you for your amazing guidance.
Cool, but How can I fix the the telemetry widget values to remain the same values on the same place and order, after i make a discover new sensors process.? If i do a new discover the telemetry order numbers changes every time and fw mixing up these values..and i had to resetup the widget again
I don't think you can. I guess my question would be, why are you having to discover new sensors so often?
@@JoshuaBardwell really good question :) ...i dont need so often yes, but there are some situation i had to, e.g yaapu maps did not start to load the map and i had to make a new sensor discovery to fix it.
On the other when i copy my models which use the same telemetry protocol with tha same widget it would be quite handy if all widget works immediately without the need to setup them again.
I m just looking for the answer if edge or opent tx fw can be forced to look for sensor label names like Galt, VFAS, etc..instead of telemetry order numbers ...like tele (3) tele (5) etc
@@JoshuaBardwell ..just one more comme nt here...the radio BATT always remain on the same place😄 called TX_VOLTAGE in the yml file
The telemetry order number is controlled by the FC and the receiver protocol. So if you have two FC with identical versions of betaflight, and both are using CRSF receiver with same firmware, then the telemetry order should be the same between them. However, if one FC has GPS enabled, and one does not, then the order may not be the same, since one won't have GPS telemetry sensors. There isn't really a great workaround for this.
@@JoshuaBardwell thank you for spending time to annswer me. My experience with stock geprc croc baby with gps and F4 20A aio fc with BF 4.2.9 and also with 4.3, that there are 3 different sensor order when i make a senor discovery it loads them randomly. But i will check it again..and yes you are right that no need to do it so frquently so i can live with that 😉
HEY!!! Leave the light on
I didn't know it was Joshua baldwell 🎃
I press discover new and nothing happened, is it normal to xm+ reciever?
XM+ doesn't support telemetry.
@@JoshuaBardwell thanks!
Классно делаешь
I wish I could have the screen say "ARMED" when the the arm logic is active... I guess I have to learn Lua.
You can use Global Variables, Logical Switches and Special Functions to do it
why have 10 ch on screen when you can double tap 5ch display and see all channels
I think the most important thing I learned today is that I need to quit being a chicken & just watch your how update to EdgeTX video already. LOL.
Joshua,....is it useful for fpv/quad??...... we fly with goggle,..:-)
I find it very useful for checking values after I plug in but before I go fly. And for troubleshooting on the bench.
@@JoshuaBardwell But we can see in OSD on the Goggle too Right,?... but i Agree for troubleshooting on the bench,... Thanks Joshua..!!
I still find it useful to glance at the controller screen for example to make sure I didn't plug in a discharged battery or something, before I put my goggles on. To each their own.
@@JoshuaBardwell Thanks for advice Sir but,...I Like Simple RC..:-) not much work on RC,.... Now I Use Mambo with Tracer / Longrange with Crsf Lite Plug on the back .....it is so Simple but Satisfying me much...!! :-)... turn on all and last check before arming on the OSD.... :-) use Kiss Ultra OSD so Hot......!! and Fly Amazing.... is so Simple Setup as Kiss before.
@@JoshuaBardwell Still wait for try Beta 4.3,....... Wait your Tutorial Sir...!!
If you delete and rediscover sensors, all your widget settings sources that are set to telemetry sensors get reset
That has not been my experience. The widget is based on the sensor index number. If the sensors come back in, in the same order, with the same index numbers, then the widgets will be preserved.
@@JoshuaBardwell I just tested it and it still happens. I had Sats, RQly, TPWR, RxBt and after I did delete/discover sensors, it now has Bat%, Alt, Yaw, and TRSS
I did it again and now it has Yaw, Capa, 2Rss, TPWR.
Did it again and it looks like it just picks random sensors
Played with it some more. The index numbers change every time you delete then discover sensors.
I think I know what's happening. When your ExpressLRS telemetry ratio is too low, the sensors don't all come in immediately, so they don't consistently come in the same order. You can increase your telemetry ratio from 1:128 to 1:64 or 1:32 and see if that helps. I've never seen this before on something like Crossfire or Ghost, because they carry the full telemetry data in each packet, so the sensors are always in the same order.
Has anyone else had a problem after the gimbal lights were installed? After I installed them every time the LS slider switch moves all the way up, the T3 trim switch automatically goes down to the lowest position. Weird.
Check to see that all of your connectors are fully seated and that no pins or ends are bent or otherwise shorting anywhere. At least, this is the first thing that I would do when you have been inside your radio and it is now misbehaving. I have seen a number of posts in various places that these things happened and were corrected with these checks.
@@wingsounds13 thanks that's a new suggestion, I've always figured it was something I did. I've almost rebuilt the whole radio, radiomaster suggested that I might have loosened the ribbon cable at either end. Parts are kinda cheap, I have replaced both sliders swapped out the gimbal on the left and the breakout board and it's still doing the thing. I have ordered a new main board cause it's really the only thing left. I will check the connections before I switch it out. The bright side is All the parts I changed were actually good so I have a few spares.
JB you can duplicate the model with your widgets setup... 😉
Of course. But if I make some change afterwards, I can't copy it to the other models.
the only thing i hate about this RC hobby is how primitive are gear is and how much they sell us 1980 technology . come on its 2022 why can i still not connect my $200 ear buds to my goggles or rc remote lol. when will we get wifi 6. Look at the quest 2 you get 4k screens Bluetooth wifi 6 it comes with 2 controllers and has a snap dragon chip i got video in and out and the cost is $299. good video i will be getting this radio soon it is a good looking transmitter
First 😁
Wow. I’m an idiot and did the same. Tx to tx and rx to rx 🫣😮. Swapped it and what do you know…I get surface movements!!
