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.

LTMNO,
I believe it is the percent of available eeprom space, on the Teensie, that the compiled code will occupy.

Hi Alan,
I have been following this thread due to the relation with the Taranis, as I just got one about a month ago, not fully utilised yet. Sorry for ignorance.....but......what is a Teensie
Teensy
sorry i am not using this project, just following it for now. Will use it as a start for another project i have in mind.
LMTNO,
It won't work with a standard 9X. You will need to do the FrSky telemetry hardware mod first - there are a number of variants on a basic theme - here is an introductory link:
Telemetry Mods
You then need to use a firmware variant that supports FrSky telemetry - I used ER9X. Since I haven't tested the Teensie on a 9X yet - unfortunately mine is busted - I cannot guarantee the outcome but it should work in principle.

Thanks for the reply, I have a fully modified 9x with Telemetry...
I was just curious as I have had telemetry working with my D8R-XP with IOBoard.. but now I have X8R and SPort...
I will let you know, ready to test now.
Thanks for this great feature Rolf!
Mine works great, but I get one annoyance. My Taranis randomly announces A2 low alarms. I have everything set to 0 in telemetry setup. If I do populate the fields, I see randomly jumping around numbers. I assume because pin 14 is floating? Should I tie to ground if not in use?
... or edit the MavLink_FrSkySPort.ino file changing
adc2 =analogRead(0)/4;
to
adc2 = 0;
and then recompile the program..
