YES! There are endless possibilities of what can be done with Lua and other programming languages. We can take this "hobby" to its rightful place in advanced science. Onward into the future!

"Flight Deck" is exactly why I have wanted an OpenTX radio. Getting Telemetry to work with my XJT Jr Module in a Turnigy 9XR Pro have been challenging... all this sounds GREAT ... NEW THINGS TO LEARN !!! .. cheers !

[GroundControlRC]

Great information! I use Linux and I've familiar with most scripting languages available on Linux so I was familiar with LUA Scripts, however, I didn't realize LUA was used in OpenTX. Thanks for the info and Happy Flying!

[petwog]

As usual very well done and most helpful. Still working the sound issue on my X9D plus...limited time is my problem now!

[rl]

Thanks for posting this overview! Good stuff!

[sumerianrcpilot]

Hope they would do more with helicopters at frsky. They have build in rx into drone flight controllers and receivers for planes with build in stabilization but no flybarless units with frsky receiver build into it. The mhs brain 2 has some nice features if you hook up a frsky rx onto it with the smartport connected to a port on the brain 2 the newer esc's. Rpm, e-fuel gauge and many more telemetry straight from the fbl unit. Frsky js slowly getting track in the Heli community but frsky could do develop some Heli related stuff. Awesome video btw. If I need some indept frsky info i always search for the answers in your Playlist.

I guess I need to catch up with you and make a OpenTX Lua Script Overview Video.

I'm very familiar with LUA from Roblox as a game dev but never knew it was used in openTX

Hey is your channel logo a reference to the Capsule gang from the Akira anime? The matrix? Or is it just an L 5 acetaminophen pill?

[paulgiusti]

Thank you for the great information ! How about a video on the different ways to link 2 Frsky TX's for training? I.e. blue tooth via X7s or with an audio cable?

Is it possible to write a lua script to take telemetry data, do calculations on it (such as calculate distance from GPS coordinates) and then stuff that back into the telemetry stream? That way I can log the new information to the SD card along with the other telemetry values.

Question: Is it possible to change the crossfire output power via a switch= And if yes does it require a custom lua script?

[zebruhfpv]

But most of us are flying FPV nowadays so isn't the display on the radio sorta out dated? Most of us have the same features through OSD

Hi, I am using two current sensors and if the difference between the current consumption is more than 5A then there should be some kind of alarming. How can we do that? Thanks in advance

[WmAllen]

Do you know if it's possible to run 2 different lua scripts on the qx7s. I've got 2 builds, one running BF and the other Raceflight. Want to see if I can install both lua scripts to radio. Thank you.

[nuttieprocfpv]

Can you use the crossfire micro on the X7 without the modding with that new lua script?

[blackmennewstyle]

Be careful people latest version of OpenTX (2.2.1 when i write this comment!) has a little glitch on X9D and X9D+ which can causes LUA Scripts to crash with a frozen screen displaying some kind of "memory error"!
Don't tell i did not warn you!
LUA Scripts rock though :)

Your sd screen shows stuff, when I go to mine, it doesnt show anything. It doesnt say "SD card" at the top. It says "SD-HC card." What does this mean? The screen is empty. What is this? How can I fix?

Edit: I dont have the latest firmware flashed to s6r. Do I need the latest?

Also, some of your links dont work.

Thank you :)

[MrOlezhandr]

Can you please show where on SD card lua script, showed on 1:08? I Have R9SX with telemetry and it would be nice to see this dashboard on lcd)
