7. Telemetry
Telemetry is data received from the model to the radio from various sensors. These sensors may be included
in the radio receiver or ight controller or may be separate sensors, such as GPS, variometer, or
magnetometer. The received telemetry data can be displayed by EdgeTX in widgets, congured in alarms or
audio call-outs.
The Telemetry screen is where you congure these sensors to use in EdgeTX. Below are the following
conguraon opons:
7.1. Sensors
Sensors poron of the Telemetry screen
All previously congured sensors are listed here. The list is collapsible by clicking on the arrow icon to the
right side of the Sensors label. Sensors that have not received data since the model was loaded or the
telemetry values were reset display --- for the values. The asterisk * to the le of the sensor value will ash
when the sensor has received a data update. A solid asterisk* indicates that the sensors that are receiving
regular updates. Sensors that are no longer receiving regular updates will not be marked with the asterisk*.
See Common Telemetry Sensors for a list of commonly used sensors in EdgeTX.
The following opons are listed under the sensor list.
• Discover New: When selected, it will look for new sensors on the model and automacally congure them. If
the sensor list is collapsed when a new sensor is discovered, the newly found sensor will be visible on the
sensor list (old sensors will remain collapsed/hidden).
• Add New: When selected, it will create a new blank sensor for that must be congured manually.
• Delete All: This opon will delete all previously congured sensors.
• No inst. (ignore instances): This opon prevents mulple sensors from reporng the same telemetry data.
If no sensors are listed in the sensors secon, you may need to select Discover New to detect the sensors.
Addionally, not all RF protocols transmit telemetry data.
If you long-press the [Enter] buon for a specic sensor, the following opons will be displayed:
• Edit: Allows you to edit the sensor's conguraon opons.
• Copy: Creates a copy of that sensor.
• Delete: Deletes that sensor.
See the Sensor Conguraon page for a detailed descripon of all the conguraon opons for seng up or
eding sensors.
