    I'm going to show you how to adjust PIDs, Rates, and vTX settings from your Taranis. There are three steps to being able to do this. First, you need OpenTX 2.2.0 on your radio, and you need the special "Lua Script" version of the firmware installed. Second, you need to install the Lua script itself and learn to use it. Third, you need to have telemetry set up correctly on your quad. Are you ready? Let's go!

( FREAK'N ADDICTING) LOL..any way just wanted to say Josh.. out of all the subscribers on here you have helped me SOOOOOOOO much on all my needs.. the only time ive strayed away from your pages was to set up a TBS powercube.. BUT your review on A.I.O. Fc's led me to get them 5 now . lol over all THANKS so much for your dedication .... JD.....

    • @dale5453
      @dale5453 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well...when I unplug the quadcopter battery my Tarranis says "telemetry lost", so if it's lost, I must have had it at sometime. But actually setup, no.

    Thanks for always dropping knowledge on us J-Bard! I recently did a massive update on all the things from switching from an F3 to an F4 and how to wire it, updated from open tx 2.1.9 to 2.2.1 and now I get to field tune straight from my taranis, all thanks to these great vids you put out. I tip my kwad to you, sir.

    Hi Prof Bardwell. Thank you soooo much for your content. Your guidence has helped my learning curve a great deal. Please keep up the great work, as I recently got a Taranis Q X7 for my first race build and am new to the hobby and tech. I'm a tinkerer at heart, so this hobby is right up my alley, and your videos explain things in a very understandable way (not as easy as it seems). I plan to support your page and share your content with everyone I know.

    Hi guys. Installed the PID/RATE/VTX lua script on my Taranis for two of my quads, one quad worked right away with the X4R-SB RX (firmware version not known), but the other quad did not work. After some research, I found that it was a firmware issue with my XSR reciever, all of you that use the Frsky XSR RX, pay attention to the last firmware update, The lua script wont work with XSR170605 firmware, you should update to XSR-170619 firmware to get the data to flow ;)

    Hi Joshua Bardwell. I need assistance. I have the R-XSR rx and the QX7 tx. I have followed all your steps.. I'm using a Xracer F303 FC and have connected S.port to UART2 TX. If I go to "Discover New Sensors" on my TX I get about 12 sensors on the list. When I run the script I see it working, but there are no values shown. Please help me.

  • @blackmennewstyle
    @blackmennewstyle 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    They should build more video transmitters with "smartaudio" or equivalent protocols. It's so sweet to do not have to play with dipswitches or any kind of push buttons lol
    Bad luck for your serie of videos is that the domain which hosts the openTX firmwares is down so a lot of people won't be able to update their radios, maybe just wait until tomorrow...

    • @MT-mt1gn
      @MT-mt1gn 7 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @beechFPV
    @beechFPV 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I did this on a past build.
    But on this new build I can’t actually change any values qx7. I can see them all and change them when plugged in but not via the remote ( I can see the telemetry)

  • @benbird83
    @benbird83 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    After installing LUA scripts on my Taranis, I hold down the page button and get a 'Use TOOLS menu instead of this' message. when I go to the tools menu and go to the Betaflight setup, all I get is 'Betaflight Config Initialising'. It stays there and does nothing. I have flashed the xsxr to fport, do LUA scripts work with fport. The FC is an old emax femto F3, could that be the issue?

  • @chrismichael3486
    @chrismichael3486 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Joshua
    did you ever find a Amber sound pack for the 2.2.0 firmware upgrade. I'm using that British gal Joeanns pack that was in your video comments. It's OK ,had to change a few files as the names didn't match up. but not to bad overall.

  • @rubenvaneupen7327
    @rubenvaneupen7327 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    hi
    I am able to read out the pids values etc. with my radio with the lua script, but I am not able to change anything via safe page.
    I connected the smartaudio out of nano rx to tx of fc, maybe I should connect that to a uart rx pad on the fc?
    What's wrong with these port settings?
    uart 1: crossfire nano rx and tx
    uart 3: smartaudio on output 4 of nano rx
    uart 6: tbs unify vtx smartaudio

    @Iyyobr 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Running a PikoBLX XSR & UnifyPro V2 but on the VTX it shows no data PIDs show data and telemetry.
    I have tried swapping white wire(audio) to TX1 RX1 TX2 but none seem to get me any communication back to Taranis.
    PID screen is fine except when I moved the SmartPort to TX1, when I put SmartAudio on TX2 to try this swap then I no longer got telemetry or smartaudio Data.
    I also swapped the smartaudo and SmartPort with each swap as needed...
    I saw on GitHub a few people were having similar problems but they ended up using a soft serial and it seems Pikos done have them...
    thx again for always helping the community so much!!!!!

    • @Iyyobr
      @Iyyobr 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      And I am running SmartAudio 2001(not V1)
      And in another attempt I updated BF to 3.2 just to see ... still nothing

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Your wiring really seems haphazard.
      Audio from vTX goes to SmartAudio UART TX.
      SmartPort goes to telemetry UART TX.
      Those need to be separate UARTs.

    • @Iyyobr
      @Iyyobr 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Joshua Bardwell
      Yes they are separate Uarts. The Piko only has 3 so I have it wired like this
      Uart3 RC-XSR (works fine) SBus in BF
      Uart2 TX2-SmartPort (works fine) SmartPort Telemetry in BF
      Uart1 TX1- SmartAudio no communication to Taranis
      When I swap the wires to
      TX1 - SmartPort ( no longer works)
      TX2- Smart Audio ( still doesn't work)

  • @cswann0821
    @cswann0821 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was wondering if changes made to PIDS on the radio take effect on the FC as they are changed....or only until they are "SAVED". So can I keep makeing changes until I find a PID setting/value I like...and then save...or must I save after every adjustment to test it out?

    @volkerhartmann5435 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fabulous info as always Joshua, HOWEVER, I followed the video and everything works EXCEPT when I press the MENU and ENT button on my X9D+SE to save the changes it reverts back to the old settings and does not save the changes. I have a SPR F3 board and the telemetry cable of the R-XSR is connected to a SoftSerial port on the FC (unfortunately the UART2 TX pin broke off). Any ideas??

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is a weird one. I wonder if the spracingf3 doesn't do bi directional telemetry. A long time ago you used to have to put a diode between the TX and RX lines to get Smartport to work.

  • @dvilhauer1
    @dvilhauer1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    installing a r xsr in your V1 FC. I am getting my telemetry readings but no Lua script. I have triple checked my connections and wired them and configured them in the exact way in your pilots manual. in the step in the above video, " change voltage source to VFAS" I dont have that option, only option I have is "RXBT". why? I also wired the "Tele pad" to the inverted sbus pad in the rxsr. I have wired the VTX per your instructions to the tx4 pad on the fc and I get no information on Lua script page. Any suggestions OB1 on what I did wrong?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you wired TELE to inverted SBUS then that is your problem. SBUS is not telemetry. You want the SmartPort pad.
      For my V1 FC the correct wiring is the yellow wire (SmartPort) from the RXSR to the T pad on the FC. Then in Ports tab UART 3 set to SmartPort telemetry. In the Configuration tab, enable Telemetry feature. Then in CLI type "set tlm_halfduplex=off" then press enter, then "save" then press enter.

  • @mitchellhoek6697
    @mitchellhoek6697 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Everything is going well but when i put it on script and then go to pids in my taranis.. it just keeps on saying no telemetry even when i power up my quads.. what should i do?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Make sure telemetry is working. Go to the Telemetry screen and do "discover sensors". If you don't see a bunch of sensors come in (look for "vFAS" if you're using smartport telemetry) then telemetry is not working.

    • @JoshuaBardwell

      Yes the jumper supports Lua scripts. Remember you must copy the entire contents of the scripts zip file which includes content in other folders than just SCRIPTS.

    I have to ask the GOD since nobody has the answer. There such a thing as a LUA for TBS Crossfire on a Betaflight board such as the Lux V2. Please let me know it's the thing holding me back from fully jumping to Crossfire.

  • @ddfwaj
    @ddfwaj 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey JB, any word on if TBS or BF will be fixing not being able to turn Pit Mode on or off via Lua Script? I was thinking all was good and I noticed it will not change in the menu and after some investigating it appears its a limitation of Smart Audio, very irritating!
    if (onoff) {
    // SmartAudio can not turn pit mode on by software.
    return;

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe (but not sure) this is a TBS limitation where the Unify won't go back into pitmode after coming out. You'd have to ask them if they plan to change that.

  • @meteors63

    Any way to map the vtx transmission power to one of the turn knobs on the taranis?? This would make it so much easier to change the vtx power output mid flight

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, it can't be done. Betaflight doesn't support changing output power like this. With an OpenTX Lua Script it could be done, but you would still need to be careful, because many vTX glitch when changing output power.

  • @-sickfast434

      Make sure you go to Telemetry screen in Taranis and "discover sensors".

    Simple and concise! Thanks for the tutorial. One thing that I've noticed, without going much on a debug mode :-), is that I can only change my PIDs. All the remaining information, like rates and VTX is not filled in. Oh yes and I'm running bfsetup 1.3. Any thoughts?!?

    Great instructional video ...thank you Joshua.
    Now the issue ... got the script coming up on my radio, but not getting any data displayed.
    Tx is Taranis X9D with 2.2.0
    Rx is D4RII
    FC is Betaflight with 3.1.7
    VTX: TBS Unify Pro 5G8 HV
    I can see the telemetry data on my fatsharks. PID and TBS settings all fine via goggles, but no data on radio. No clue as to issue. Tried rediscover sensors, but nothing added.

    • @JasperMulder100
      @JasperMulder100 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh dear ... The issue must be that we tend to wire up the telemetry from the D4R to FC and not bother about the the return Rx on at the receiver. Receiver is not getting back any data from FC.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Even more fundamental than that: D series receivers use the old Frsky telemetry protocol, not SmartPort. You must be using SmartPort to do this.

    • @JasperMulder100

    Greetings Joshua! I understand that the telemetry channel returns data from the quad to the active LUA script; but 1) Can you please tell us what channel is used to communicate LUA commands from the TX to the RX? 2) Does it interfere with stick latency or jitter? (I'm particularly interested in setting things up to sync the BF BBL logs with the TX RTC.)

    I have had some issues where after selecting "save page" the radio tries for a bit then says "retrying" and then comes back with the original unmodified values. Seems to happen when the main battery is plugged in but not when powered via USB. Maybe a problem with VTX interfering ?

There is something that I can do to remove this error? the setup is completed or not?

    @pieterdewaard2383 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Joshua, thank for this mate. It adds a great feature to the taranis and makes tuning so much more accessible. Now, obviously this leads to what else can I do with this. In fact, I noted that yaw D gain is absent (commented out in the telemetry script). I may need this for tuning my tricopter running triflight, so removed the comment and it works. Then, when starting to play with changing rates, I noticed whenever I save anything to the copter, the throttle expo reverts to 0.0, which is a bit annoying. My assumption is that the script has zero assigned to the parameter somehow. Here is the question: can I add this parameter to the taranis screen to allow it to be changed and have it set to the desired value when it is written to the copter? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? I note that the BF.lua script assigns indices to each field, but how does this map to parameters in betaflight? Any help would be appreciated. [Did look at lua script documentation "OpenTX 2.2 Lua Reference Guide” but could make out much from it].

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Pieter de Waard there is no yaw D term in Betaflight. I don't know more about how the indices work. I would look into the MSP protocol as I'm sure that is what the indices refer to.

    • @pieterdewaard2383
      @pieterdewaard2383 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Josh. Will dig further. The yaw D-term is in triflight (based on betaflight 3.1.7 I think) to deal with tail dynamics of the tail.

    Thanks for the videos

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gtune was completely hit or miss even in the best cases. Also, it only tuned P gain, which is sort of useless. Frankly, I think the best benefit of devs' resources these days is making the defaults fly better, with improved filtering and better PID controllers. Then autotune isn't needed.

      If you're using the uninverted S.Port pad on the RXSR, then you can use TX3 on the underside of the flight controller. You need to go to the CLI and type
