Frsky voltage sensor with qx7

[dsexton1990]

Can someone please help me out I have a qx7 radio running x8r receiver and using a frsky voltage sensor once I have discovered the sensor it will only show 0volts in my radio the sensor itself shows correct voltage I even orded a second sensor to make sure it wasn't a bad one but I can't figure out why it only shows 0volts in my radio instead of battery voltage

On my Tx, I have in the settings a sensor list. Maybe see if you have one in yours?

What version of Open TX do you use? There was a version out early that mixed up voltage or amps.. with watts. So if you wanted the voltage tracked you had to tell it to use watts. So it was reading properly but just had the naming wrong.

I am currently running version 2.2.3 I am going to try setting it to watts and see wat happens like that

painless360 taught me everything I know.
I would just be repeating what he says.
He is my go to for all my OpenTx qurstions.

here is your vid.

Painless 360 did prevent a lot of pain for me!

Preciate I did followed his video a couple times and it works just like his just won't display the correct voltage in my radio thanks for the help tho

have you checked the units of the sensor in the telemetry page?

So now I start going through the trouble shootint flowchart in my brain.

-verified voltage of a/any battery and every cell with a hand tester outside of the model

- tried multiple batteries

-tried multiple RXs

-is/are you using batteries LIPO

-tried setting up a different model in the radio and is bound correctly

-did you have the option to turn on telemetry when binding

-what protocol, PWM, Sbus, etc

-wiring, using correct wires, correct ports, wires are in the correct order and continuity

-- So we can see post some pictures of the sensor, different screens on your radio, Sensors, Logical switches, Special functions and or anywhere else you are setting something up.

we will figure it out. its just a dumb sensor.
