Hi all,
I just bought an FrSky Taranis for my quad copter and needed to get the Mavlink data up on the Taranis LCD telemetry display. So here is my solution using a Teensy3.1 as a converter between MavLink and the S.Port on FrSky X8R.
See attached file below...

If I deactivate servce.lua then it is working fine :-) otherwise I get also a memory error
Thanks
Paul,
Many thanks for this tip. Without the celinf.lua it works again!
Cheers Gregor
Gregor,
The only way I see the syntax error now is if I have the celinf.lua mixer script added to the custom scripts page. This mixer script seems to just manage to push it past the memory limit for me. I can run the main.lua telemetry script (Screen1) with offset.lua mixer script and the txtmsg.lua telemetry script (Screen 2) without issue. I have no idea why this seems to work on some Taranis radios and not on others. I am working on the next version of the script now (the one with the configuration page) - again I am having memory issues, but there is more scope with this new version for saving memory as it unloads chunks of code when they are not in use. Hopefully I will have more success with this version for all Taranis users.
Thanks for your work, but for me I have still the same script syntax error not enough memory.I did a complete new setup. The message script allone works, but the main script allone has still the same issue for me.
I am using the same software AC 3.4.3 and OpenTX 2.1.9
Maybe you can give me a hint how to save more memory?
Cheers
Gregor
Guys, a quick heads up -
I have just released an updated main.lua file into the Clooney82 repo. This hopefully fixes all of the bugs - certainly all the ones I know of. I have been testing this tonight, on both the simulator and on my taranis (OpenTx 2.1.9) with a quad running Ardupilot Copter 3.4.3. These are the fixes in this version:
Fixes:
Removes:
Cuts down on GC usage so no longer see the syntax error message
As always the repo is here: https://github.com/Clooney82/MavLink_FrSkySPort
And the link to the main.lua is here: https://github.com/Clooney82/MavLink_FrSkySPort/blob/s-c-l-v-rc-ope...
Enjoy!
Mogli, No, I did not write the libraries (far above my coding abilities :-) These are standard libraries - aside from FrSkySportTelemetry library, which is the latest Pawlsky version of that library but with some local modifications and additions which were written by Clooney over a year ago - I just merged these additions (which were in the original library version we used in the project) into the latest Pawlsky library to keep the project up to date. I was keen to get the new library version implemented as it includes a feature called sensor polling which is used by the Teensy in certain configurations (when using ULRS for instance instead of FrSky Tx/Rx).
The LUA scripts have been written and amended over time by a number of individuals, including Christian Swahn, Luis Vale Gonçalves, Michael Wolkstein, Fnoop Dogg, Jochen Kielkopf (aka Clooney82), and myself (aka athertop). This is the beauty of open source projects :-)
The Teensy code was started by Rolf Blomgren (aka the chap who started this forum post) and was amended over time by all the above individuals, plus Dan Yeakley, to make it more specific to our requirements. There is actually a massive amount of work gone into this over time - I spotted it directly after taking up the hobby, was a user for a while then started getting involved. Most of the other devs have moved on to other things now, so I'm just keeping things running, as I am still a keen user of this telemetry solution.
hi Paul,
yes I read about your plans! Cool!
Just to understand: You wrote this libaries: FrSkySportTelemetry.zip and GCS_MAVLink.zip
Did you also wrote these (https://github.com/Clooney82/MavLink_FrSkySPort) LUA-Scrips??
snowest, I will release a new lua script in the next few days which will hopefully alleviate some of the syntax error messages (its not the new version with integrated config screen yet, and assuming you have the latest version installed on both teensy and lua then yes, you will just be able to replace the main.lua file with the new one once its available). In the mean time you can probably get things working by removing any mixer scripts and the txtmsg telemetry script (if you have this configured) to save memory.
I get the syntax error as well on my new Taranis plus 2.1.9.
When you'll update the lua script, I can basically only download the telmetry script and replace it with the new one?
The whole telemetry stuff was working fine on my "old" taranis and now I try to update everything (teensy board, rx, fc and I got a new Taranis plus). The last time I did that was two years ago and I' try to remember how it was. This as a little side note.
Thanks for all your work anyway! I hope it is going to work soon on my radio.
