    Hey Darren. It looks like V2.06 Lua is for ETHOS SR10+ and TD SR 8-12 receivers. I had both of these receivers exhibit a weird phenomena on a gas plane. Channels 7-10 had a serious jitter in them only when the engine was running. I thought it was ign interference, WRONG. It was the 2 independent Stabilizing Functions thing. It was cured by turning OFF the "Second Independent Stabilizing Functions" using the Lua Script V2.06. Its on page 2 of 2 !!!, which is hard to find to adjust. It is ON by default, not a good idea IMHO. This video showed me how to find page 2, at 13:55, thankfully.
    I hope this helps others who stumbled on this like me. Thanks

    I have tried what you explain in the video but with an Archer plus + receiver, not the pro, but it doesn't work for me. The SXR goes back to off all the time. For my receiver would it have to be done differently or does it only work for the pro? Thank you for the video!

    Hi Darren great video to help us!
    I have the X20S FCC version and I already used EthosSuite to update my X20s with the latest Firmware ver 1.4.9, FCC already.
    Do I still need to update my X20s to the latest RF Firmware ISRM -TD Module to ver TD 2.2.4. Are they separate software components.
    When I go to the info screen, i only see the Firmware Version 1.4.9. But i don't see the Internal Module TD-ISRM version info. Why is that.
    Thanks.

But they don’t have ETHOS, nor are looking to get it. It would take someone in the community, who knows LUA, has ETHOS, and would like to contribute time to the project.

    I must congratulate you, on your knowledge of the FRsky system. Were you involved in the development?
    On the SR8 Stabilized RX, how does the RX recognize the 4 controlling channels? I contacted FRsky, BF finding your channel, and they indicated a different channel for the Gain (Ch13) and the modes (but did not specify a channel for modes) BTW what happened to CH11? Why was it overlooked?
    Does the RX have to be powered during the TX programming, to recognize the keystrokes as they are entered?
    It also should not be this hard to program a toy airplane!!!
    Apparently the word 'Intuitive' does not translate into Chinese???

  • @wtfmimshag
    @wtfmimshag Год назад +1

    It's a little bit clunky to be honest, frsky seem to be releasing product quiker than ethos devs can keep pace with. That said, apart from the missing XT30 connectors which I had really grown to like, and configuration being in the wrong part of the OS, the new archer plus SR10+ is fantastic. Two independent gyros on the same receiver opens up a lot of possibiities. Assuming they release an archer plus 12ch stab rx, i can replace some fairly complicated setups in thrust vectored EDFs with a single rx. Even just having independent yaw stabilised channels means you can effectively use one as a steering gyro, without overcooking rate gain on the rudder. What i'd love to see is independent flight modes for the two stab loops. Frsky are really knocking the hardware out of the park.

    Hi Mr D
    Can you please help?
    I have been attempting to set up Stabilisation.
    All firmware and scripts are up to date.
    The receiver is bound and stabilisation channels 13, 14, 16 haves been set.
    SR10+ Calibration is complete OK
    Self check carried out, all stick gimbals calibrated
    Gyrogain adjustment on Channel 13 working OK
    Flight modes on channel 14 working OK, although I can not see any point with the switch in central position as all it seems to do hold all control surfaces in the central position, the same as when the gimbal sticks are central.(excluding throttle).
    Here is my problem:
    I cannot get channel 16 emergency mode to work.
    I can see the switch is active in the Mixer and also in Outputs, but the control surfaces do not change when tilting the aircraft? Completely dead.
    I have two SR10+ receivers and neither of them work in emergency mode.
    I have successfully set up SR8 stabilisation receivers in other aircraft OK.
    Does anyone out there have a solution to this issue?
    Thanks a lot

      With the new ArcherPlus stabilised receivers. The stabiliser function channels have changed from 9-12 to 13-16. Currently, the Archer and ACCST stabilised receivers are using old firmware. So they stay on 9-12. I don’t know if that will change in the future.

      Hello again. I was busy for a few days and came back to this issue again. Been through your video a number of times which are so helpful but was still not getting anywhere. Remembered seeing a manual for my receiver which is an Archer Plus SR8. So I thought I'd download it and take a look. Then I found that I had the switches set on the wrong channels. I just presumed that all the stabilised receivers would work the same. Switched the gain to channel 13, the modes to 14, it says to use 14 and not 15 when using the quick mode and the oh crap, I've called mine panic on 16. Now I've got the stability working, I can see the difference in flight modes ,have the rotary switch working for gain adjustment, thanks to your video. Just brilliant. 👍

    • @MrD

      @MrD  Год назад

      If the icon is not appearing, the scripts are not in the correct location. On the X18, they will probably need to be on the NAND storage, not an SD card. Inside the scripts folder, you should also have folders for the specific scripts. For those tools, there should be SRX_Cali and SRX_Stab folders. Each one containing the relevant files, as they are found in the FrSky_AP_STAB_RX_v2.05.zip file. The safest way to install is to copy the scripts folder in the zip file to the root of the drive on the transmitter. This will ensure that everything is in the right place.
      There is a bit of a learning curve. But trust me, once you're in the swing of things, it's a massive improvement over Spektrum. Spektrum is overpriced and has a bad RF link. So many planes at my club have been lost due to Spektrum's bad signal.

Unless you have very bad servo geometry using a less than 30 per cent of servo travel, this is never a problem anyway. I have used dozens of frsky gyro receivers without ever selfchecking or calibrating. Now, if you must “self-check”, make sure that u do not inadvertently reduce servo travel to zero, which explains the common symptom described in hundreds of frsky S8R/SR10 question threads.
