Great video. You show an arrow to point out two battery displays, one that the TX16 shows by default. I presume you have to have both and that default cannot be changed or removed so one widget remains?
Excellent👍. I wondered why the original setting is 1024? Seems 64 and 84 is a big reduction Does it make a difference if you use lipo batteries or other types and is this what 1024 represents? 🤔
what should be the voltage read when it is low and time to charge the transmitter? also what does enable maximum throw on one of the model setting does? when i enable it for some reason the throttle comes on while throttle cut switch is on
The lower voltage depends by battery types. For LiPo is 3.6V (you can go down to 3.5 but not lower) for LiIon is 3 V. If you use a discharge rate below 1/2 of the C rate, then 2.75 volts. BUT 2.5 V should be the absolute limit.
While this works for the TX battery, it doesn't work at all for the main (flight) battery, at least not for me. I have Telemetry on my ESC/FBL, which shows the main Battery as RB1V. I can set up a value widget, select RB1V for the source, and I get the current value (eg. 23.9V), but if I choose a Gauge widget, select RB1V, It defaults to 100%, regardless of the values I enter for MIN and MAX. I tried 210 ~ 252 (21.0V to 25.2V), and it always says 100%. So what's the trick to get a percentage gauge for the main battery?
@@i3Drones Yes, I'd like to see how you do this, because I didn't work for me. I had to get a separate widget from Github to make it work, but that widget is large and can't be put on the top bar
@@chrispirvan4969 in my case (Crossfire system TX + RX) the RxBt (receiver battery voltage from telemetry) works very well with Gauge widget - as expected. Second, I converted RxBt = {21.0V to 25.2V} => y = {0% to 100%} by using y = 23.8 x RxBt - 500 and I tray to implement this relation in OpenTX in order to print the result in a Gauge widget - without success. So, right now I am without any ideas for your problem. I have a question: Does not RB1V means reference battery 1V? In this case it is normal to display all the time 100%.
@@LordFpv, I have little experience with EdgeTX, but having in mind that EdgeTX is a fork of OpenTX they are similar. So, if in battery metter range you have 3.2V and 4.2V - put 32 and 42 values on the widget.
If you are using a LiPo battery, the voltage must not be below 3.5V per cell. Even so, many recommend not being below 3.6V. In my case, I have LiIo. If you search into the net, they consider that 3.0V must be the cutoff at room temperature. But, you go to the outside where can be wind and low temperature - the winter is comming :-). So, I decided that to take a more conservative value of 3.2V. I have 2 elements, so I choose 6.4V.
Nice video, thanks for posting. I searched on CZcams all day long but I was not able to find a tutorial on how to read out the value of the S2 knob... That said, I have my gains for the S6R set on the S2 knob and would like to look at the plane, and not on my screen, while turning the knob. So it would help if my TX16s would read out the value for me. Any ideas!? Thanks.

Excellent concise tutorial. Thank you!
AWesome tutorial, thank you so much mate! Did it easily with your help!
Thank you for the video. Fixed my radio as I was choosing the wrong value and it was not reading the battery. You Rock!
very nice ...great information !!
Well done👍
Perfect! Thanks!
Glad I could help! Stay tuned for more videos to come!
much apreciated. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Good stuff, Hit all the buttons, keep up the good work
Thank you!!!!!
Super helpful. I added this same bar for the RX battery. Its A1 if anyone is interested.
Thanks
Thank you so much for making this video!

I'm unsure, I will go to my station to test ... but I think it is impossible to remove.
Thats amazing! Thank you!
I'm glad I was able to help! I am now preparing a new video that shows how to repair a TX16S station even when the DFU mode is not working.
@@i3Drones ok nice! I look forward to it
merci beaoucoup😃😃😃

I think 1024 is maximum resolution accepted. They use a analog to digital convertor on 10 bits.
Muy buena idea. Gracias
For nothing!!!! You are welcome!
Thanks!

The second part of your question I was unable to understand.
how do yu have your timer set up, mine is way too small and do you have count remaining?
You have 3 timers - into TX16S. Activate one of them and you will have te same information like in my case.
While this works for the TX battery, it doesn't work at all for the main (flight) battery, at least not for me. I have Telemetry on my ESC/FBL, which shows the main Battery as RB1V.

I tried 210 ~ 252 (21.0V to 25.2V), and it always says 100%.
So what's the trick to get a percentage gauge for the main battery?
In this evening, I will make the same setup on my Crossfire - base on the battery from the drone. I will give to you a correct answer in few hours.

Great video,can you tell me what value i need to enter for flysky nirvana,nirvana use 2x18650 but in parallel(4.1V)
Thanks
Nice radio! By using 2x18650 in parallel, for min value use 3.2V for max value use 4.2V.

Thank you :)
It appears that you have to do this for every model. Is there any way of doing this so it appears on every model?
No, this is a global setting - you are not doing something special at the level of a specific model. So, it works with all your models.
@@i3Dronesperhaps it's different on edgetx as I only see this in the model I have set it on.
Excellent video! Just one question. Why sis you select 64 as your lower value? Is 6.4 volts the completely discharged value for these batteries?
If you are using a LiPo battery, the voltage must not be below 3.5V per cell. Even so, many recommend not being below 3.6V. In my case, I have LiIo.

miss how to do this in edgeTX
In the same way. EdgeTX is a fork of OpenTX

You can use some thresholds, then your knob reach a such value it will trigger an audio warning.
