That video caused a lot of anger on varous forums, as people jumped in to bash the methodology, but nobody else has done an equivalent or better test. It's a good example of 'real-world' use, as ther...

Ah interesting, I'd never heard of the 5 channel version. It looks to be similar but missing the VBat telemetry. I've never seen it for sale so maybe it has been superceded by the smaller and more cap...

The Matek R24-P6 product page (https://www.mateksys.com/?portfolio=elrs-r24-p6) specifies the firmware to use. It is confusing if you're not aware of that though. I use the ELRS Configurator tool t...

greggold Wrote: (11-12-2023, 12:39 PM) -- Liam I suggest your method is too complex. Many members may be flying with ch 5 not armed (see PRCAC thread), which means the dynamic power is not as fast...

I wonder how much extra capacity you would get from the higher voltage.

I have made a flashing cable using an FTDI TTL-232R-5W-WE cable. https://ftdichip.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/DS_TTL-232R_CABLES.pdf Unfortunately I can't access those pins on any of my recei...

I have a variety of batteries in different conditions: 4x 3200mAh 3S Zeee - New or as new 7x 850mAh 3S CNHL - New or as new 5x 2200mAh 3S Turnigy - 6-8 years old, not well looked after (stored fo...

I've been considering buying some more 3200mAh 3S Zeee batteries, as I've found the first two to be excellent. The idea of waiting another month for them has turned me off though. Had a look at the...

I see the described fields on my TX16S when I go to that address.

I have a few spare XT60 female connectors (battery end)

I have a few logical switches which provide me with a safe starting mechanism for my planes: Logical Switch 1: Is active when the throttle stick is less than -98 (i.e. it's at the minimum posit...

The matek product page (http://www.mateksys.com/?portfolio=elrs-r24-p6) shows the necessary firmware target as one of the first bits of information. Having said that, the first time I did a firmwar...

Ok, just watched the video. It can use the included wire. I'm looking at getting a Radiomaster ER8 soon, so i might make up an FTDI to jst-gh adapter cable to suit

Yes the matek r24-P6 receivers need to use the DIY2400 Ex target in Configurator < 1.6, and the generic ESP8285 target in newer versions. Does the ER6 do firmware updates through the CRSF port? It ...

Interesting that they use 'FTDI module' as a generic term for a USB to TTL serial converter. FTDI is a brand name and the FTDI company makes many different types of USB to serial converters. The Be...

I'll attach it later when I get to my PC. The full power section was a vertical climb to altitude (in the 'danger zone' at PRCAC), so I suspect that was what precipitated the change in RSNR.

I did another flight today, with very gentle throttle inputs, to see how long I could fly (over 16 minutes with 700mAh used of 850aH capacity), and to see if there was any correlation between throttle...

Good detective work! It's a 3S 3200mAh LiPo in this particular plane, powering a 3526 motor with 830kV, attached to a 11x8 prop. Here's an even better plot: My Kmart foamie with an 850mAh 3S...

Converted it back to csv and it loads fine, thanks!

I'm thinking of getting one to use in my big plane, I currently have a matek r24-P6 in it with double sided Velcro, but the idea of the proper case has merit. I'd like to explore the additional sensor...

Greg, could you attach the log file here? So that I may work with the same data to try to improve Autographer. I see lots of TPWR increases correlated with sudden, dramatic drops in throttle signal...

Time is now in seconds (or milliseconds for very short flights :) ) since the start of the log, and you can now scale and offset a trace up or down the graph.

Hrmm, I had a similar set of symptoms when I tried 'loan model (https://www.expresslrs.org/software/loan-model/)' with Dirk at the flying field yesterday. The 'loan' appeared to work properly, Dirk...

I've updated the tool to allow selection (and deselection) of which items to plot, and also added a per-series scaling factor. Next I will add a per-series offset mechanism, so you can move a plot ...

Yes, all of those things are possible. I also thought some analysis might be interesting. For example, what was the flight duration, total battery consumption, etc On a somewhat related note, I ...

Interesting, I'm at 100Hz packet rate with a telemetry ratio of 1:16. The info about faster telemetry updates leading to more responsive dynamic power is useful.

Next time I go visit family in Broken Hill I should take my TX16S. There's areas out that way with 40km long straight roads and no elevation changes to speak of. :)

Yes, the vbat is a little precarious. I've addressed that by permanently soldering in a wire with a JST male connector on the end that plugs into my battery balance connector. On the plus side (...

Good stuff Dirk! Have you setup model match? I didn't bother initially, but got myself in trouble when I had the wrong model selected in my radio without noticing (all the channels were the same co...

Connectors (very carefully) swapped for the included XT60s. I'm very pleased with them. I'll be interested to see how they perform compared to my 9 year old hobbyking batteries.

Hurrah! Weight is 224g. Claimed weight was 216g. I'm happy with that. They also include an XT60 connector which is handy.

Onboard for delivery today. Send unlikely as it's nearly 9PM but hopefully soon!

Not so fast...

Finally an update; looks like my batteries might actually be on their way!
