hey!

some models need aileron reflex during launch and zoom mode to reduce drag:

vs:

would it make sense to implement this for F3K Model?

i would be happy to provide a pull request, if you could point me in the right direction.

Hi Jesper,
is there any way how to set breaks in F3K without impacting amount of aileron deflection?
Thank you,
Martin

I loaded the F3K program for a pike 6 channel plane.
used channel port 8 for the battery, 4.8 1300mah.
Plugged in only Channel 1 and rudder works.
added plugging in Channel 2 and elevator works and then bad things happen.
Channel 8 shorts the battery and the insulation cooks off the batter leads.

I am a senior RC flyer and need to resolve and understand.

Hi JF,

First, thx for all your hard work. I have an xlite-pro and the I've copied all the lua scripts over to the sdcard. when I enter the telemetry screen, there is a single menu called "plugins" which contains the following:

1. F3k
2. Practice
3. Altimeter
4. F3K 2020
5. Saved scores

but there is no 2nd page in Telemetry where I can select the configuration scripts as detailed in the wiki. I verified all the config scripts are on my sdcard...

/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K
/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K/ADJMIX.lua
/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K/ALIGN.lua
/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K/CENTER.lua
/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K/MENU.lua
/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K/SK.lua
/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K/SK1.lua
/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K/SK2.lua
/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K/SK3.lua
/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K/SK4.lua
/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K/SK9.lua
/media/jbruce/otx-sdcard/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/JF3K/SKalti.lua

Do I need to do something special to get to the menu containing these scripts? You cannot execute them by browsing the SDCard and executing them.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in opentx, soarotx, or my configuration problem.

I can't get altitude calls annouced in feet. They are always in meters. I've changed the telemetry sensor units and radio settings to 'imperial'

This unit seems hardcoded in jfutil.lua
Was the variable
unitAlt = field.unit
supposed to update
soarUtil.altUnit
As used in
playNumber(soarUtil.alt, soarUtil.altUnit)

When I get some time I can try to fix this via a PR.. but it's here for reference.

Thanks so much for this software package! Love it.

Would be great to make adjustments to run the program on Jumper T12
it is basically QX7 with different navigation. I used the program, old version with great success.
Looks like it cannot leave the menu as there is no home button.

Hi Jesper,

I've flashed x9d+ to firmware 2.2.3 which includes FAI mode and it supposed to disable telemetry from vario but I still see altitude displaying on top bar.

I found this thread where FAI mode was fixed in opentx:
opentx/opentx#3443
I see value 0 for Alti and Alt in the telemetry menu so I guess the fix in opentx works?

Could it be related to lua scripts?

Thank you,
Martin

Helo J.,

after update to 2.2.3 CZ is there some problem with graph drawing from log. I think, that problem is with incorrect character (CZ language). Sample LOG file is attached.

I'm new to DLGs and currently fly with an xlite, I don't want to physically mod it but figured a momentary swirtch for launch mode would be helpful.

Do you have any ideas how I can best modify the F3K setup to use the left aileron trim as a momentary switch for launch purposes?

I was considering either completely decomissioning the aileron trims in cruise and launch mode and updating the logical switch to use the left aileron trim to enable launch mode, or using the current launch mode switch as a custom "prelaunch mode" that has trims disabled and just serves to listen to the trim button to flip to the correct mode (after which the prelaunch mode is ignored until reset)...

BTW - I've been flying for a few years and until stumbling on this repo had no idea what was really possible with OpenTX - this repo is very impressive!

Hey! Thanks for the great work!

I used your scripts to fly dlg with my x9dplus, but now switched to Radiomaster T16s.
Any plans on adding support of Horus-like radios?

In the wiki you say something about interactive lua scripts, but whats that?

hello,

how does it look with support of x-lite pro?
It uses opentx 2.3 and I am getting "syntax error" for SoarOTX scripts.

Thank you,
Martin

Hello Jesper,

I just had a possible strange idea: would it be possible to use the X-Lite Pro to fly F5J contest models?

I just tested it in companion and imported the F5J model from the QX7 file into the X-Lite Pro file. At first sight there are not enough buttons available to manage all functions, but...
we have two momentary switches with the X-Lite Pro - ideally usable as arm switch (L05, L06) and motor enable switch (L08).
Then the 2 position switch SD (L07) could be used as data logging switch and the other 2 position switch SC (L09) could be used as altitude announcement switch.
The two pot switches (S1 and S2) would still be available for fine tuning.

I don't know - and I can't test it in real life just now - if this is feasible but it at least sounds possible to me.

What do you think (as the programmer of SoarOTX and as a F5J pilot)?

Hi Jasper, first of all i would like to thank you for such great work what you did with SoarOTX - i love it. I have one question for you. Did you think to have separate 4.Another mixes per Flight Modes? Primary what I am looking for is to have different settings for Diff, Snapflap, Ail2Rud per flight modes. Thank you. Boris

When attempting to run the configuration script to set the right channel mapping and directions, my radio reboots. Subsequent runs just crash with the error message

Script error: ...JF-LS.lua:162: attempt to perform arithmetic on upvalue 'LS_BASE' (a nil value)

I attempted to init the value to 0 if nil but this lead to another issue with iLS being nil elsewhere.

I get the same error when I attempt to run the script in the simulator.

This also causes my RX settings to get lost.

• Radio: Xlite Pro
• Firmware: OpenTX 2.3.15
• SoarOTX: git main branch

hi!

thanks a lot for your work! as a beginner, it helps a to get me started with F3K.

Quick question: i can see that the trim changes for the rudder on launch to "-3" on my taranis x7s display, where would i check to increase the trim? i would guess the trim is defined in the flight mode in an global variable?

best,
Kalle
