Steps for a proper installation

  • flash your radio to the latest OpenTX release, (2.2.4 at the time of this writing)
  • enable both lua and luac support by checking the relevant options prior to flashing your radio with Companion

luac_option

Copy the contents of the OTX_ETX/bw_common/SD folder to the root of your radio SD Card.

Next copy the radio specific files. Based on your radio LCD resolution copy the contents of the relevant /OTX_ETX/resolution/SD folder to your radio SD Card.

Note: to find the correct resolution for your radio check the Readme.md file

  • go to the telemetry page on your radio and assign yaapu9 or yaapu7 to a telemetry screen of type "script", more info here

The script is already compiled and only needs to be copied to your radio SD card.

The correct folder structure for 212x64 black and white radios (X9D series) series is

  • /MODELS/yaapu/modelname.cfg
  • /MODELS/yaapu/modelname_sensors.lua (optional)
  • /SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/yaapu9.lua
  • /SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/yaapu9.luac
  • /SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/yaapu/*.luac
  • /SOUNDS/yaapu0/en
  • /SOUNDS/yaapu0/it
  • /SOUNDS/yaapu0/fr
  • /SOUNDS/yaapu0/de

For 128x64 black and white radios (QX7, X-Lite, etc) radios the correct folder structure is

  • /MODELS/yaapu/modelname.cfg
  • /MODELS/yaapu/modelname_sensors.lua (optional)
  • /SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/yaapu7.lua
  • /SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/yaapu7.luac
  • /SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/yaapu/*.luac
