New model templates for our ELRS RotorFlight electric and nitro R/C Helicopters
Thanks to Mike W. and Diego A. for the endless hours of testing and great ideas.
** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK **
These templates have been created to quickly create new EdgeTx models for our standard ELRS RotorFlight configurations with all of the boilerplate stuff out of the way. The idea is...
- new model
- name it, give it an image and maybe labels
- bind or assign a receiver ID if using model match
- customize switch assignments, battery warnings etc (or not)
- verify that all controls are correct and setup is SAFE
- GO FLY
No need to know what an input, mixer, logical switch, special function or global variable is ...
unless you really want to...
Best used with etx-presets (for RotorFlight)
- 2024.09.02 - revised for RotorFlight v2.1
- 2024.08.05 - ModelEditor - dropped BEC/ADC page - all current FC's have BEC ADCs now
- 2024.07.09 - eThrottle - Report "Bad Auto" + haptic if GOV reports LOST-HS ie bailout will not be available
- 2024.05.22 - v2.3 - model editor now sets the cell count setting of power bar widget, BEC voltage source defaults to servo bus telemetry sensor as more FC's are providing this sensor.
- 2024.05.15 - v2.1 - adjusted RPM tele ratio to 0 to address EdgeTx 2.10.0-rc4 to 2.10.0 release changes
- RadioMaster Tx16s or equivalent (large color screen)
- EdgeTx 2.10 or later
- RotorFlight 2 or later
- flight controller should have be prepared with (** coming soon **) or a compatible configuration (modes/adjustments/telemetry etc)
- familiar helicopter radio look and feel
- familiar/practical main screen
- summary screen automatically displayed at end of the flight
- familiar/throttle curves (TC1, TC2, TC3, TCH)
- standard primary switch configurations (bank, safety, motor etc)
- configured telemetry sensors w/ recognizable names, units, ratios all preset
- familiar mixer channel mappings
- output channel endpoints and subtrim aligned to ELRS (make sure your Tx sticks are calibrated)
- logical switch and special functions implementing warnings, various telemetry monitoring
- optional switches for RF blackbox and EdgeTX SD logging
- 4 bank / profile configuration
- main screen uses etx-widgets (https://github.com/bob01/etx-widgets), included in this package
- download and unzip etx-templates-main.zip from (https://github.com/bob01/etx-templates)
- connect the radio and copy the folders from the zip file to the radio
- great collection of themes here - https://github.com/EdgeTX/themes
- theme "GrownUp" is an excellent choice - https://github.com/EdgeTX/themes/tree/main/THEMES/GrownUp
