X20/X20S and Ethos v1.0.11 User Manual
Telemetry Sensors can be
played in voice announcements
used in logical switches
used in Inputs for proportional actions
displayed in custom telemetry screens
seen directly on the telemetry setup page without having to configure a custom
telemetry screen
Displays are updated as data is received, and loss of sensor communication is
detected.
ACCESS Telemetry
Single receiver telemetry with ACCESS works in the same way as before.
Multi receiver telemetry
ACCESS offers TrioControl
TM
, which allows one transmitter to control the channels and/or
telemetry for up to 3 receivers per model. You no longer need to use the STK tools for
setup, and Smart Port also allows the use of third-party input/output devices with pass-
through mode.
ACCESS will automatically switch to the next receiver if the RF link to a receiver is lost.
The switching order is Receiver 1, then 2, then 3.
The most common application would be using S.Port, by daisy chaining the S.Port sensor
chain to all 3 receivers, which should be sharing a common power supply.
Register and bind the receivers (refer to Model Setup).
Connect the sensor and receiver Smart Ports in a daisy chain fashion.
Discover new sensors (refer to Telemetry Setup), and test carefully that Smart Port
switching is working correctly.
Note that on the transmitter there will only be one telemetry entry for RSSI and RxBat,
but these values will dynamically come from the receiver that is currently handling the
telemetry.
Simultaneous telemetry from three receivers will come later. Further developments are
expected in this area.
Sensor Types:
1. Internal Sensors
FrSky radios and receivers have built-in telemetry functions to monitor the strength of
the signal being received by the model.
RSSI
Receiver Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI): A value transmitted by the receiver in
your model to your transmitter that indicates how strong the signal is that is being
received by the model. Warnings can be set up to warn you when it drops below a
minimum value, indicating that you’re in danger of flying out of range. Factors
affecting the signal quality include external interference, excessive distance, badly
oriented or damaged antennas etc.
ACCESS
The default alarms for ACCESS are 35 for 'RSSI Low' and 32 for 'RSSI Critical'.
Loss of control will happen when the RSSI drops to around 28.
