Also the F3 already measures current for some reason and it seems to be accurate as well after testing with an amperemeter connected to the battery connector. However my current solution is of course much better and cleaner. I do realize the FLVS-1 is old but since I had one here I just used it as a quickfix to the problem I had. A little help here and there put together helped a lot even though nobody had ONE solution. Yep I got it all to work after different advices from different forums.

The FLVS-1 is also a very old piece of hardware, you also need the current measuring device to get the data out of the system to the transmitter. I don't have to make a schematic anymore for you? So you fixed everything by yourself, that's great! I will try to make a 'newbies guide' to this once I finish my other 180 using X8R and Sbus. I have all functions I wanted now which is great. With this I removed the FLVS-1 and updated my settings on my Taranis. I connected my battery (direct connection) to the VBAT port on the F3 and now VFAS works. The FC itself has no 12V in without this.Īlright so a small update. Note that for VBAT to actually work I had to connect the VBAT port to my batteri directly.

What A2 is though, I cant say : know A1 is the 5V for the Rx unit. A2 from the FC changed back to the original A2 value after I removed the FLVS-1 again without any damage or anything. However since the FC already had a VBAT monitor port it was much simpler to just connect this to the battery connectors and get the VBAT value like it should. The A2 I had before disappeared and FLVS-1 gave me the new value that was correct when I tested. FLVS-1 worked just fine as long as I connected one side directly to the battery. I'm using the Eachine Falcon 180 PDB on this along with the SP Racing F3. I don't think you can use FLVS-1 in combination with the telemetry from the flight controller, but you can get the total voltage from your flight controller. Whats the simplest way of fetching telemetry when running Sbus?ĭo you use an ESC's with a BEC or do you have a separate BEC? This one running PPM, and another I plan on running Sbus on. The main thing I need is battery voltage and signal strenght. But like I said A2 works after adjusting the Ratio and seems to be giving me the correct values so I guess I can live with this.Ĭan I do anything to enable VFAS? Can I connect two wires from my battery (direct) to the VBAT headers on the FC? Will this enable me to get rid of this stupid voltage monitor I use for A2? So far I do get telemetry for current but voltage on VFAS just shows 0. I have disabled and enabled VBAT and Current meter in config.

I have connected other boards before and it has shown battery voltage in CF (At the very top, left icon shaped like a battery). What bothers me though is that even in CF configurator I get no battery voltage at all.

I guess this is cause my battery isnt connected to my FC directly anywhere. VFAS, which is suppose to give me the battery value, shows 0. After I added FLVS-1 and adjusted the Ratio for A2 it now gives me the correct voltage for my battery. Before I added the FLVS-1 my A2 did not respond to much at all other than showing me a value of 7,4V and my VFAS had a value of 0 no matter what I do. After inverting telemetry in CLI this gives me 18 sensors. In Cleanflight (running 1.13) I set UART3 to Frsky telemetry and AUTO baudrate.

I prefer not using the wire short and softserial since I dont use any of the ports for added equipment like GPS and so on. I assume I can also use UART1 and UART3 Tx for telemetry? Just solder on the smartportwire directly onto the F3 board? As long as I set a different UARTX to SmartPort? I am not suppose to bother with the option that says FRsky? Is this (3) UART2 Tx? And in that case are there also wires on this IO_1 for the Tx? Also what do I use the RSSI for (connect it somewhere?). Right now I have my channel 1 connected to the IO_1, pins 1, 2 and 3. What exactly does R2 and T2 mean? I would guess UART2 Rx and Tx. You only have to short two wires if you use soft serial, because you have a 3F flight controller you have 3 hardware uart connections, so you don't run so fast out of uart's If you are going to arm your flight controller remove your props first. Then you have discover new sensors in your Taranis transmitter, keep in mind that the flight controller don't pass all the sensor through if it's disarmed, so you have to arm your flight controller first and then discover the new sensors. Set telemetry_inversion = ONAnd press save.Įnable telemetry in the configuration tab.
