RC RADIO SCAM ?

[Zoom Master]

Well the 100Hz rate will still allow for that just not at a super high refresh rate

I run at 333Hz because I use a radiomaster gps module on my planes and like to record at every .5 seconds for more detailed data after the flight and 100Hz just doesn't have the telemetry throughput to achieve that .5 seconds update interval without cutting back too much on control signals in my personal opinion

For like battery telemetry and link quality the lower 100Hz rate at the standard telemetry ratio is more than enough to get a 1 second or so update interval

I did see that the newer versions of ELRS added the capability for transmitting more advanced telemetry data like "cells" which for my FrSky sensors was able to track the individual cell voltages and total pack voltage from the balance lead and do actual lowest cell or cell deviation callouts on the radio with some set up

Lots of blabbering to say I also like telemetry and am excited for new tech on the horizon

I did know that ELRS had that feature....

You can change the telemetry ratio to get more frequent updates. The default ratio (bare minimum) is not enough for my liking. Especially if you are running a flight controller with a bunch of telemetry fields. I usually run 333Hz/full (8 channels full resolution) and a telemetry ratio of 1:8. This does NOT reduce the control updates, just increases how often telemetry is sent back, and therefor increases how much telemetry data can be sent back. There is a prioritization of data types, and if the data rate isn't high enough, low priority telemetry data almost never gets sent back.

I have never had a flight controller on any of my planes.

Why would one need 16 channels in the first place ?

Well in my defence for now im only interested in making high speed rc planes and sometimes I like to make some micro rc planes that fit in the palm of ur hands so almost half of those like landing gear, fpv, payload release etc aren't needed

You asked, so I answered. Without a Flight controller, you could need more channels for control surfaces, especially if you are mixing everything in your transmitter.

Hmm true but I would only use a flight controller if im flying something like a big edf jet with lots of control surfaces then I would put one in.

I fly all sorts of stuff, and FPV too. Having options is a good thing.

True and im going for ELRS cause im gonna be soon building a long range fpv wing...

I highly recommend an FC with GPS and return to home for "long range".

The walk of shame can be very long otherwise if something goes awry.

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Thanks for the advice and yes I could do that and I care more about signal penetration then I do about telemetry…

If you have FPV you will probably want telemetry....

You may want flaps.....

Yeah, I have put that in my FT Spear....Hoping to do some longer range flying but I wish I had Elrs!

Yeah if im flying fpv.

What radio do u have ? If it has a module bay u can buy a ELRS module...

Just a Fs-i6x...I really want a TX-16s but money........

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Yeah do if im flying fpv.

You said you were with this I thought....

Same here I would have gone for a bigger radio like a radiomaster boxer or tx16s but they are quite expensive where I live.

Yeah im planning on flying fpv
