I've been out of the hobby for about 16 years, life got in the way then graduated to building and flying real aircraft. Getting back into this to teach my kids. Your videos have been very helpful getting my tx16s setup! Thanks👍 The technology and affordability today is amazing compared to what was available when I flew my models last.

[CncObsession]

Your explanations are always so thorough and well produced. Thanks so much for sharing. I cant process most of it yet but each video I learn a bit.

[greatgandalf]

Thanks... I flew A6Es and a Pitot Failure or Indicated Airspeed is one number you always had to think about to safely fly your aircraft.

Very nice video John. Fun things to implement on TX16S using EdgeTX.

[nickdean]

Thats awsome thanks again for everything you do on the channel

[greatgandalf]

18.K on specific technology information is damn 👍 Good.

[chillibadger]

These are great, be good if you could put both 4 bits of info on the same screen

Interesting. I fly FrSky X8R and RX8R receivers with voltage and gps sensors. I have not yet made the jump to EdgeTX (still OTX). In special functions, I put telemetry callouts on a switch, so that I can hear speed, altitude, voltage (and other sensors, if I'm flying them), or I can turn off the 'noise, ' if I don't want to hear it/them (especially when not flying, but with the aircraft powered up). I have a screen or two that're dedicated to capturing max/min (as applicable), to look at after the flight. Even with big text, I think that I'd prefer to listen for speed/altitude callouts, instead of looking down at the radio, especially if I had to page through screens to find the speed and/or altitude screens. With that said, though, I'm interested in loading this widget for a model and giving it a try. Thank you for adding content to the open source tools for us RC-ers!!!

Just guessing but do I need to have a gps connected to do this? Reason why I ask, I'm using ELRS rx's and none of the sensors pop up, only with my quads that have a GPS. Please advise, thank you so much for your videos! I probably missed a video somewhere.

[albertherlicka]

Where do I find what all the telemetry details are? Things like ALT or TRSS or A2 and a host of others. I have 37 sensors tha came up but I can't find what they stand for. Any help would be appreciated.

[huskyswe]

What reciver do you use and how do you wire it. Im realy whant to se how it works untill i buy it

[siyuqi]

Thanks for the video! I have a question: can I plot a chart to display the altitude and speed or even more parameters on the screen? appreciate !

[ThLDQ]

Hi John, I do not know anything about telemetry and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So it would be great to make a video about the basics of telemetry : what it is, which items we need and how to install them. Regards. Thierry

[SKRIKRecords]

i cant get it to work :( i updated the sensors but i cant see gspd why i have telemetry crossfire?

[captaindronieversefpv]

hi sir, thanks for you videos about Radiomaster. As a newbie on Fixedwing RC, i really want to know how to get AMP CURRENT USE From my ESC .Just line OSD on my Drone, i'll know if the Amp Current reach on some point. how i get the telemetry for the esc amp sensors ? thankyou . Btw i use ER6 Radiomaster

[ezyhobby]

Nice video...
I just wondering....
Can we configure the radio, so it will sound the airspeed constantly, like every 1 second...

Like:
55
56
57
58
57

So it will help us to control the plane not to stall..

Thanks in advance

[ElseysEmpireRacing]

Good stuff! Any chance you could add a tutorial on Airspeed, not ground speed? I am currently fighting with my OTX radio trying to get both the Matek Digital pitot tube and FrSky analog pitot tube units to work. Not as easy as GPS ground speed. Thanks for all your helpful content!

[lucienrios]

Hi John how can i get longitude et latitude data live on my screen

[JozefBedra]

How to set altitude voices every 50m based on GPS sensor.

[OhGAAH]

Thanks for this video and for the widgets. I was inspired and set up a plane with the Matek CRSF to PWM output with a Matek M8Q 5883 gps. I downloaded the lua scripts and installed them on the Radiomaster TX16S which has Edge TX installed. It all loaded and seemed to be working perfectly and was displaying speed when carrying the model. But soon after I got airborne, the speed reading dropped back to 0. I have experimented and discovered that it drops back to 0 as soon as the plane reaches 64km/h. I have tried a different CRSF unit and also a different Matek CRSF to PWM board. I have also tried several different gps units, but all with the same result. I would really love to get this working but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks again for all you great videos. :)
