FrSky Ethos 1.5.x: Terrific Timers! O-20 Series E12

Here’s an FrSky Ethos 1.5.x tutorial on how to setup your timers. In this tutorial we’ll cover the
1. Countdown Timer- This includes how to get “Throttle Trigger” from previous versions of Ethos working so that the timer doesn’t stop when you throttle down to -100.
2. Throttle Cut Off Timer- This is a timer that works when you turn off throttle cut. This is very good for letting you know how long you’ve been flying, especially if you have a countdown timer that stops on throttle down.
3. Odometer- This is a timer that doesn’t reset and only counts throttle on time. When you come back on another day the timer picks up from where you left it off. This is useful for planes where you would like to keep track of total flight time.
The O-20 Series is a 20 part series on the FrSky Ethos based transmitter. Instead of a random series of videos not tied together with any common theme, this is my attempt to make one very long series of short videos with one theme, taking you from total Ethos novice to comfortably moving around inside of Ethos . We’re going to help you setup your transmitter we’re going to setup a high wing plane. This is exactly how I would build the file, from start to finish. We’re going to cover every topic along the way so that you’ll be able to put your flaps down without having your plane balloon up during flight. You are going to learn the power of Ethos by assigning flight modes that allow you to save your trims for each flight mode. You’ll learn how to setup flaps, landing gear, assign your channels to switches, and have the voices call out what each switch does.
These videos are taught in Ethos 1.5.x. Ethos has changed a bit and I felt it was time to update the video library. If you take the time to watch this series you’ll be ready to get the most out of Ethos.

These videos are fantastic for a new FrSky user like myself, thank you! Is there a way to have the countdown timer start when the throttle is at a certain position instead of the first click you move it? I don’t really want the timer to countdown if the engine is at a really low idle.

Yes, it would require a logical switch, there is a A>X function where A is throttle and X is the whatever position you would like the throttle to be at.
Thanks for kind words.

Thanks, I’ll see if I can figure that out.
