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 you see one of my previous replies where I list the current (as of 1.3 version) parameters and some previous posts on this thread A2 only has relevant data IF you connect some analog voltage to the Teensy A0 port (A2->Analog voltage from input A0 on Teensy 3.1). If you don't, just disregard the values of A2 on the Taranis.
I'm not sure about Cnsp but I believe its calculated by the Taranis based on the Curr (instant current) transmitted by the telemetry.
The same as Distance which is calculated by the Taranis and is the distance between the initial GPS position and current GPS position.
Just wondering if I can use a Arduino Nano instead? And will the code work with my FrSky D8R-II Plus? These questions came up after I changed the Turnigy 9XR to Er9X software today, so I had to start Googleling for solutions :)
I am having the same problem I see the pin numbers but have not been able to find a doc that maps out the telemetry port on the APM. Which is pin 1 the outside pin (closest to the edge of the APM or the inside pin?
Thanks
Hello everyone,
thank you very much for this work.
I buy a teensy 3.1 module and I own a radio pixhawk + 3DR Radio (TELEM 1) with a receiver and a X8R taranis.
if I understand correctly, you must:
_Flasher The teensy 3.1 with MavLink_FrSkySPort_1.3.zip
_Cabler In this way on the Port TELEM2
Teensy Pin 9 ---> Pin 2 Pixhawk
Teensy Pin 10 ---> Pixhawk Pin 3
Teensy G ---> Pixhawk Pin 6
Teensy PIN 1 ---> S.Port Signal
Teensy Vusb ---> S.Port V +
Teensy GND ---> Gnd S.Port
_to end must be configured paramettres telemetry on taranis.
Questions:
I think the new firmware of taranis is not compatible? There he has a solution for this problem?
it seems to me as seeing the S.Port is supplied with 3.3Volt not otherwise must supply the teensy?
thank you again for this project
Hi
It's irrelevant the firmware on the Taranis, because the received telemetry "comes" in FrSky SPort format.
The newer Taranis firmware 2.0x adds the possibility of "building" custom telemetry screens via scripting which gives a great possibility for building even better solutions around the Taranis and APM/Teensy.

Don't worry about the powering of the Teensy with your components. It "just" works.
I have the 3DR Radio on telemetry port 1 and the Teensy on telemetry port 2 on my PixHawk running APM 3.1.5 and no problems.
As of now and with the 1.3 version linked at the first post the parameters available on the FrSky telemetry are these:
( current )
There are more FrSky telemetry values but are not being dealt with 1.3 version
excelent !
unsurprisingly everything works flawlessly;)
thank you all for this project
thank you
it remains only to test me all once the teensy received;)
I can so my updater taranis in 2.0 no problem ^ ^
here is the equipment has arrived!
I read the code a bit, and I myself noticed that the voltage per cell is indicated for a 4S battery. can we change parameter is simply?
I never compiled the arduino, I am interested in any information!
thank you
