Establishes the center and endpoints of all physical controls on the transmitter so the firmware can accurately reference the physical controls.
Glossary
Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing — Aileron, Elevator, and Collective are combined to give helicopter swash plate servo commands. Required for control of most modern RC helicopters that use a flybar. See also CPPM.
Voltage of the cell having the lowest voltage in the battery pack reported continuously by telemetry on FrSky Lipo Sensor w/Smart Port, FLVSS. Useful to spot weak cells in a pack and avoid discharging any one cell below its allowable … Continue reading
The pack voltage, or sum of all cells reported continuously by telemetry on FrSky Lipo Sensor w/Smart Port, FLVSS. Useful to set up an allowable pack discharge voltage without harming the battery chemistry.
Makes a beep sound when selected control(s) crosses center position from either direction
Center of Gravity, an important set up requirement for an airplane to fly well. Establishes the balance point of the airplane front to back. The CG is usually measured from the leading edge of the wing and generally specified by … Continue reading
A field in the OpenTX set up screen to select the order in which the 4 main controls (Aileron, Elevator, Rudder, Throttle) of the aircraft will be shown. All combinations of A,E,T,R are available from a choice box. Unlike the … Continue reading
Please see Safety Channel
The concept by which signals are routed to specific servos. The channel order is the order that channel information is placed in the transmitted frame. With OpenTX, you can place your channels in any order you wish!
A term used by RC helicopter pilots describing rapid reduction of throttle stick setting on the Tx. A habit often formed with fixed pitch or coaxial helicopters that can destroy fixed pitch helicopters by driving them into the ground
Clipping is used in two different contexts in OpenTX on Taranis conversations. Distorted sound from the small speaker on the Taranis can be described as having been clipped. In that context clipping describes a sound that has been distorted by an … Continue reading
Total mAh used as reported by current sensor. mAh measured
A type of helicopter with two sets of counter rotating main blades. Typically both sets of blades have set pitch angles.
Center of Gravity, an important set up requirement for an airplane to fly well. Establishes the balance point of the airplane front to back. The CG is usually measured from the leading edge of the wing and generally specified by … Continue reading
Collective Pitch Direction. Specifies the direction, Normal (—) or Inverse (INV).
Collective is the angle of the main rotor blades of a heli and is why a collecive pitch helicopter can fly upside down. Helicopters with fixed pitch blades (this includes almost all coaxial helicopters) do not require collective.
A helicopter that has main blades that can change angle while in flight. Usually achieved by adjusting the tilt and height of a swash plate.
Specifies the virtual channel to be used on MIXER page for pitch curve(s).
