As a newbie to ETHOS and FrSky, this video was super helpful on many levels. After reading FrSKY's latest X20 User Manual and the Instruction Manuals for the FLVS Lipo Voltage Sensor and the TD SR10 receiver, I had no idea that to get the lipo sensor to display on the transmitter I had to (in my case )reassign the Channel 10 port location of the receiver to being a "pin 10" S.Port (Smart Port) by enabling the connection on the X20R transmitter or how to do it. Yes, the receiver manual did say the 'configurable 10 channel ports are a big feature" but gave no hint on how to... Covering 'port morphing', Telemetry, Special Functions and Logic Switches all in the same video made me really appreciate your work and how powerful this system is. Thanks a lot!
Nice video. I set mine up to look at the individual cells rather than the total voltage. I set it to warn me if any cell goes below 3.60V with a time delay.
Thanks for the great video, the multi-lipo calculated sensor tip will make battery management much easier. Strange that the S-Port on the receiver doesn't work get your stuff together FrSky.
Very good video! Set one of these up a month ago but no alarms yet. I will be referring back to your instructions when I get ready to set them up. Nice work! Thanks!
Where were you a week ago? I figured it out with Lior's help and Facebook. I love the two voltage sensor option on my HSD ME-262. Thanks for all your videos, love them!
Are you sure you can use 2 sensors for 2 6S packs connected in series? With previous gen sensors this wasn't possible since they had ground connected to - of the 1st cell. Connecting 2 sensors to 2 packs in series shorted one to ground and burned traces/wires.
Yep! Go through the same process to set up the alarm but under special functions, instead of PLAY VALUE, choose HAPTIC. Everything else is the same. Give it a try. If you dont get it working, send me an email at all.rc.air@gmail.com and ill do a step by step for you.
You should be able to but i honestly haven't tried. I use my old radiomaster radio for sim. I might give it a try and if it requires more than just plugging it in, i might make a video on it.
I feel that the multi lipo calculated sensor is designed mostly for series setups as the lipo widget also shows total volts. If I was to use parallel batteries with two lipo sensors, I would do everything in the video except setting up the multi calculated sensor. I would have the two sensors displays. One that show lipo 1 and another showing lipo 2.
Hmm. That's weird. Different types of sensors have different default id's so it usually isn't a problem. I have one setup with 5 or so external sensors without an issue. What sensors are you using?
Should work. Perhaps start from scratch. Try hooking up the gps first. If that shows up, then add one lipo sensor. Change both id's of that one lipo sensor like in my video then add the other lipo sensor.
I just reread your question. Not sure if that was a typo, but you don't use a voltage sensor for consumption. You'll need a current sensor. Frsky makes a 150a current sensor that works well for the big EDFs
I almost threw my frsky radio away, but watching your video gave me more confidence to keep it.

Some of the menu options have evolved (in particular the play value configuration) but still a very helpful video, thanks!
Yeah, firmware v1.5 and above changed a lot of things. My newer videos usually say v1.5+ to let you know these are with the newer firmware

Very Nice Video, well explained and you were very thorough
Make sure that your Tx and Rx have both been updated to the latest firmware or you may have issues finding the Lipo sensor.
Yep, true. I did a video on updating firmware on sensors, receivers and tx for those looking to learn.

Glad it was helpful!

Very good, easy to follow video. Thanks.
This hepls me a lot! Thanks!
Fantastic video! Learned a lot!
If you change the sensor ID and then you move it to another receiver later will it stay changed?
It's been a while since I tested that but I believe it will. The id stays with the sensor if I remember correctly
@@all_rc I wonder if I can do this with two of the 40A current sensors also.
I don't see why not. I haven't used the 40a current sensors but the 160a sensors work the same way with ids
Very good, thanks
Are you sure you can use 2 sensors for 2 6S packs connected in series? With previous gen sensors this wasn't possible since they had ground connected to - of the 1st cell. Connecting 2 sensors to 2 packs in series shorted one to ground and burned traces/wires.
I've been doing it with these adv sensors without any issues. The sensors are isolated so it works just fine
Brilliant video ..about to purchase a new Tx ....
Can you setup vibrate on the Low Voltage alarm so i can listen to music via Bluetooth headphones?
Yep! Go through the same process to set up the alarm but under special functions, instead of PLAY VALUE, choose HAPTIC. Everything else is the same. Give it a try. If you dont get it working, send me an email at all.rc.air@gmail.com and ill do a step by step for you.
@@all_rc Thank you so much for your fast reply...can you use the X18/X20 with a SIM through the usb cable?
You should be able to but i honestly haven't tried. I use my old radiomaster radio for sim. I might give it a try and if it requires more than just plugging it in, i might make a video on it.
Great video! Are there no grounding issues with multiple sensors and batteries in series?
The sensors are isolated so no issues.
@@all_rc perfect, thanks!
If you use 2 lipos in parallel to get more mah, rather than in series to get more voltage. will you set it up the same or different from series?
I feel that the multi lipo calculated sensor is designed mostly for series setups as the lipo widget also shows total volts. If I was to use parallel batteries with two lipo sensors, I would do everything in the video except setting up the multi calculated sensor. I would have the two sensors displays.

great video. im having trouble adding a 3rd sensor (GPS) when i do, one of the lipos dissapears even after i changed the id of one of them.
Hmm. That's weird. Different types of sensors have different default id's so it usually isn't a problem. I have one setup with 5 or so external sensors without an issue. What sensors are you using?
@@all_rc Im using two Balance lead volt sensors and one GPS
Should work. Perhaps start from scratch. Try hooking up the gps first. If that shows up, then add one lipo sensor. Change both id's of that one lipo sensor like in my video then add the other lipo sensor.
@@all_rc ok ill give it a go soon!
Do you have a video on how to set up "Consumption" for a voltage sensor?
Very soon!
I just reread your question. Not sure if that was a typo, but you don't use a voltage sensor for consumption. You'll need a current sensor. Frsky makes a 150a current sensor that works well for the big EDFs
Why are you running down your batteries so low. 3.2V is not good for Lipo batteries.
