F3K launch tracker Version:1.3
(1 vote)

The script detects a launch and automatically determines the maximal hight.

In the middle of the screen you can see your actual height and on the right side the last 6 hights are archived. 

  • The launch detection is enabled by switch "SF".  
  • Then the script waits for a high lift rate.
  • After the high lift phase the script waits until the climbing rate goes below zero. 
  • This is the sign for the lady to announce the actual hight and to store it in the stack on the right side.

The script has to be enabled again by the "SF" switch to start from beginning

 

Prerequisites:

  • opentx-taranis*-*-lua-luac-en-2.2.1.bin or higher
  • A FrSky variometer. (G-RX* is working also)
  • A good idea to reset the variometer each time you enter flight mode "launch"
    I use the "SF" switch for launch detection and I set the logical switch "L9" for 0.2s.
    L9 resets the "Alt" an "VSpd" values. This guarantees a zero height for each throw. If you use other switches you have to adapt the "launch_id" in the script.

Installation:

  • Install the script on your SD card under /SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/vario1.lua
  • In the telemetry section enable the "Alt" and "VSpd" sensors.
  • Switch your Taranis to Measurement Units = "imperial" in the General Section if you want to use "feet"
  • Under the DISPLAY dialogue the custom screen type is: "script" (You should see the vario1 script in the drop down menu.)

Happy launching

Barney

Hello, I'm not very good at taranis, and I do not understand how to program the SF switch with the L9. I am on X9D. Thank you for a little help. Excuse the translation of Google I am French and do not understand English.
cordially

Quoting Roger:
Does anyone run the script under opentx 2.2.1 taranis x9d +? Unfortunately, he does not run with me :(

I tested with Roger and until now it seems to work again under 2.2.1

Cheers

Barney
