Radiomaster tx16s edge tx version 2.8 latest version
Fr sky x8r with s port telemetry
Inav 5.1 on matek f411wte
Inav lua script 2.2 latest version
Unable to access widget configurator. stick movements don't work on mode 1 (throttle right) is there another way to access the configuration?
Voltage not displayed, unable to see vbat sensor. Other sensors detected no problem.
Same problem with 2 builds using the same hardware.
Results in constant low battery warning which I have no access to configuration to turn off. Re setting telemetry no use.
Be grateful for any help.

The configuration menu is only available in mode 2.
There is no other way to access the configuration on colour radios.

If you're prepared to do some text file editing, you can edit the model's configuration file directly (on the SD Card).

The file is (from the root of the SD Card ) is SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/iNav/cfg/MODELNAME.dat (where MODELNAME is the name of model). The file is a fixed length text string of 47 characters. This is a little arcane; description below:

The number of characters for each item is defined in SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/iNav/config.lua and the acceptable values in SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/iNav/menu.lua.

Here's a example:

13534230120011121110020302035003000145004200000

So lets annotate this a bit to show positions:

  • First line is the actual data
  • Second line is "tens"
  • Third line is "units" . The asterisk marks the position we want.
13534230120011121110020302035003000145004200000
0        1     *   2         3         4
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567

From config.lua, we can see Battery Alert is the 16th character; from menu.lua we can see it takes values of 0=None, 1=Critical, 2 = All (so in the example, 2 means all).

Change the 2 to 0 and you should no longer have battery alerts

  • Make a backup in case you mess it up (or the above instructions are wrong)
  • Only save the configuration 47 bytes, no line-feed, no additional lines.

Try this:

  1. Make sure you are in the inav telemetry widget screen.
  2. Raise the throttle (right stick) to top. Full throttle.
  3. Move rudder (left stick) to right. Full right rudder.
  4. You should be in the config menu. Move throttle to zero to start editing.
  5. Elevator (left stick) to cycle through menu/settings.
  6. Aileron (right stick) to select and deselect.

It's exactly the same instructions mentioned in https://luatelemetry.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Configuration-Settings/ but with the sticks mapped to mode 1.

I have always used this method on my TX16S running inav lua 2.2. I am right now on inav 6.0 FP2 (pretty sure that doesn't matter)

Yeah. That even works in Companion (Mode 1).
