well that looks like the last nail in the coffin for ETHOS for me
so i will not update my radios now ETHOS Lua Scripting Update
Work is progressing on Lua Scripting for ETHOS and I have some screenshots to share. Lots of work left to do but focused on it now. Although ETHOS script text will look like other Lua scripts used with other OS systems it will use its own scripting.
That’s exciting! I’ll get a beer and start in on the transition
One of those Major Milestones I would say!
I’m happy to report that it’s working!! A bit of fumbling with the EdgeTx Interface because it’s the 1st time I have seen it but but that installed, flew a model to make sure the models transitioned and then configured Yaapu Screen 1 and 2 and it’s good Swiping to change screens is pretty cool.
A lot to play around with now. Thanks Alex.
Edit: Configured all the models, it’s very fast with the touch screen, so far so good.
Update. Tested with Copter, Plane and Rover all working! I didn’t fly the Plane bench only but flew and drove the others.
EdgeTx with your Widgets is very cool
And just a comment on the process of switching over. I used a new Sd card to load the EdgeTx contents plus the MODELS and RADIO subdirectories from OpenTx then copied the Yaapu Sd card contents over. Updated the firmware on the radio and the models transferred and everything just worked after setting up the widgets. Those do not transfer you have to configure them again.
Just installed the version you linked above on Edge 2.5.0. Everything looks good. The only thing I noticed is that when I’m on the Yaapu telemetry page the touch screen will not bring up the menu that is normally accessible on the regular telemetry pages. But the old fashion buttons still work
I haven’t flown it yet, only connected to a plane. I’ll try to fly it this weekend and I’ll report back if I notice anything.
I can echo some of @dkemxr 's comments above. All my models moved over, but I’ve been resetting the data screens. The touch screen is pretty significant upgrade in how you navigate the radio. Other than my inability to remember how to setup Yaapu/Crossfire , the transition has been relatively smooth.
A couple of observations:
Some of the shortcuts I used in OpenTX don’t work. For example holding down the scroll wheel to get to the monitor while in the Model Settings doesn’t work.
You don’t need to hold down the SYS or MDL keys, just a tap will do. Doesn’t sound like a big deal but it’s funny how that will mess with your mind.
I can’t figure out how to reset the timer in Yaapu (not the built in timers) between flights. In OpenTX, from the Yaapu screen (or any flight page) I would hold down the scroll wheel and then use the menu to “Reset Flight”. So far in my fumbling around I haven’t been able to find that menu or ability anywhere.
When switching between drones (and therefore models on the radio) the Yaapu script would sometimes not start. On a couple of occasions today I would find myself restarting the drone and radio. At a couple of points I found the only way to get the script to start would be to power the drone first, then turn on the radio. Once a drone/radio was working together then I could power things off/on as normal and it wasn’t an issue.
Hi there! I’m setting up my first Ardupilot quad with ELRS, but have run into a problem. For context I have an ELRS receiver running 2.0.0 firmware, EdgeTX on my QX7, Yappu 1.9.6, and Arducopter 4.2 (however it is a custom build that includes CRSF telemetry while still being under 1M).
Right now, I am getting all the telemetry data (battery voltage, GPS, etc.) on my telemetry screen, but the yappu screen still says no telemetry. I have enabled CRSF in the yappu menu also. Totally stumped on what to do! Thanks for any help.
PS they have to blind not to see sales of X20 not going to as good as it should with a lot people holding off getting one because they cant use your script
anyway i bought you coffee and cannoli for breaky
thanks for all your hard work
