Markus Manninger replied to Rolf Blomgren's discussion APM MavLink to FrSky X8R S.Port converter
"Hi Paul,

Do you have logfiles with included telemetry data, I can use to work on the lua script within the companion software?
Right now my drone isn't ready to fly, so I can't record them by myself.

Thanks,
Markus"

"OK, I already thought that the values have to get manipulated before getting displayed. They don't seem to be correct when discovered and displayed straight in the "find telemetry" menu.
Thanks for the links, I'll take a look at them to get familiar…"

"Wow, actually it's much more easy then expected with the horus. In the model setup I switched to the telemetry tab and started discovering telemetry data and immediately all values showed up. After that it's possible to select these values in a…"

"Paul Atherton said:

Markus,
Sorry, but the Telemetry screens have only been created for the Taranis radio, not for the Horus. If anyone out there is a horus lua guru, then would be good to see screens developed for the Horus also.

The teensy side…"

"Hi,
I am trying to get the telemetry data to my Horus X12s, via X8R receiver. Did anyone already get this setup running?

Here are some details:
- X12s with OpenTX v2.2 (installed via companion with lua option enabled)
- Teensy v3.2 with…"

Markus Manninger replied to Markus Manninger's discussion Problem using a parachute
"Hi Janne. In my case I just forgot to connect a ESC/BSC ... the pixhawk doesn't have a supply voltage on its AUX outputs! After I supplied it, it worked, as described here:

No, I don't use a skycat…"

Markus Manninger replied to Markus Manninger's discussion Problem using a parachute
"OK, I found it ... The output level on AUX1 is 3.3V and I guess my servos i was using, are 5V. I am lucky to have a oscilloscope to check it.
So everything is working as described on the wiki pages!"

Markus Manninger replied to Markus Manninger's discussion Problem using a parachute
"No one?

Other thing I came across. There is the parameter CH7_OPT which can be set to "Parachute Release" and the parameter RC7_FUNCTION which can be set to "Parachute" ... what's the difference?

Is CH7 the function for input (from the receiver)…"

Hi,I am using APM:Copter v3.4.2 together with QGroundcontrol v3.0.2 on a pixhawk - I want to deploy a parachute. I configured channel 7 on my radio to trigger the parachute, which seems to work (according to the log messages, which says "Info:…

Markus Manninger replied to Markus Manninger's discussion Plane turns upside-down in auto mode
"Sorry for my late reply. You are right, in this case you have to invert the directions for ailerons and rudder and then invert on the rc as well. It can be easily tested on the ground when switching to an auto mode and turn the plane. Then it should…"

"According to:
http://plane.ardupilot.com/wiki/arduplane-setup/first-time-apm-setu...
It must be one of the ELEVON_REVERSE, ELEVON_CH1_REVERSE or ELEVON_CH2_REVERSE parameter but I can't find them in the parameters of my plane.
I used qgroundcontrol…"

Markus Manninger replied to Markus Manninger's discussion Plane turns upside-down in auto mode
"Yes, that's exactly the behaviour that doesn't work the right way!
But wich parameter is responsible to reverse the aileron servos - elevator and rudder already work the right direction."

Hi,Is there a way to invert the direction of the outputs for the aileron servos in arduplane?I know it's possible to invert the incoming signal with the RC1_REV to RC18_REV parameters but that only affects the manual flight mode. I need to invert…

Markus Manninger replied to Markus Manninger's discussion Plane turns upside-down in auto mode
"It happens when switching from manual to auto flight mode when the plane is heading tot the first waypoint. And I think the ailerons are steering in the wrong directions as well, when setting the plane to ALTCTL mode and rolling it."
