Status Version V0.2

Currently only supported for Taranis X9d+ and opentx-2.3! It looks as if edgeTX is also working but I did not yet change to edgeTX. (But I will do it soon) based on ideas of Frank Schreibers F3F Tool This version is modularized as much as possible.

  • Center is a course library which raises IN/OUT events on two bases. (Three bases may be possible in a future version)
  • These events are consumed by a competition module which starts the appropriate actions depending on the actual competition status.
  • The GPS sensor is encapsulated in a separate module to enable the same interface for different sensors.
  • The setup is a pain on the Taranis. A simple blocked screen has been developed to take care of that.
  • The main loop is collecting data from the sensors and updating the cours and competition. (since there are no real events in a single threaded environment)

Usage

  • use S1 to change the course bearing
  • use S2 to change the competition type
  • use rudleft/right to change the base A location (F3F only)
  • use scrollbar plus/minus buttons to choose a predefined location.
  • user ENTER to activate the changes from the setup screen.

On the slope

  • Wait until you have a valid GPS position
  • F3F: Take you model and go to the center of the course.
    • Take the cardinal direction from base left to base right from your mobile.
    • Enter the value with slider S1
    • With slider S2 choose "f3f" or "f3f_train"
    • With rud select if base A is left or right
    • If your model is in the center of the course press ENTER to activate the values.
    • Now you can go to the main screen by pressing PAGE
  • F3B: take your model and go to baseline A.
    • Take the cardinal direction from baseline A perpenticular to baseline B from your mobile.
    • Enter the value with slider S1
    • With slider S2 choose "f3b_spee" or "f3b_dist"
    • If your model is on baseline A press ENTER to activate the values.
    • Now you can go to the main screen by pressing PAGE
  • To start the run push SH

What is working: NOTHING IS TESTED IN REAL LIVE UNTIL NOW!

Sensors:

  • Logger3 from SM-Modellbau.
  • GPSV2 from FrSky. (Poor performance)

Competition Types:

  • F3F competition/training
  • F3B Distance
  • F3B Speed

Installation

Install the complete *.luac tree from the bin folder to your /SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY folder on your SD-Card. Compiling on the transmitter is not possible and you will get an out of memoryerror.

  • you need to install the setup.lua in one telemetry screen and the main.lua in the direct following one. (otherwise it may lead to script errors -- may!)
