An Open Source RC Transmitter implementation for Arduino 328p (nano) based on Arduino RC Library and inspired by Frickler's SimuTx approach. Project Details are described at fpv-community.de as well as on the project's wiki
The software runs on an Arduino nano with any sort of transmitter hardware around basically. There is a PCB for the Turnigy 5x transmitter that allows to directly connect the gimbals, two 3-pos switches, one 2-pos switch, a buzzer and a LED. There are also plans to add a sound-module lateron. The board has also a voltage sensor for the transmitter battery as well as a level converter for Frsky Telemetry serial connection.
Instructions:
- extract the archive's content into your Arduino Project folder, e.g. C:\Users<your username>\Documents\Arduino
- compile and upload to your transmitter
- connect with t5x configurator while the transmitter is turned off
- do your configuration. hit apply button to see changes immediatly, press save button to save the settings into EEPROM
- enjoy your T5x.
- HINT: If you want - there is no need to - you can comment out after the first successful boot of the t5x in config.h the line #define T5X_CONDITIONAL_INITIALIZE_EEPROM compile again and upload to the transmitter. doing that way results in smaller ROM-file and more RAM available.
- if you have problems with the configurator, or just want a simple setup with all that bells and whistles, config.h allows to disable EEPROM handling by commenting out the line #define T5X_USE_EEPROM when doing that, configuration can be done hardcoded via TxDeviceProperties.h and Profile.h by modifying the default structures for both.
have fun & great greetings from vienna, austria! Christian Konecny (alias kornetto)
