OpenTx 2.1 Lua Script
Contents [show]
TELEMETRY
What is a Telemetry script
Access telemetry data

Process telemetry data (telemetry calculations)
Up to 3 active scripts per model
Selected from the telemetry screen settings
Can be used by different models (with caution)
Can be used to display non-telemetry data such a the Tx timer
Telemetry script file

Suggestions
Read or at least skim through the Lua manual by the OpenTx developers.
Work on scripts using using plain text editors such as Notepad (Windows), TextEdit in plain text mode (OS X), or a Lua editor that has features to help developers (Win, Linux, Mac).
Test scripts using the companion simulator and log files.
Keep scripts simple.
Whenever possible avoid duplicating what OpenTx has already implemented.

Sample Script
Download this file 01GtSt.lua (right click and Save As, Download Linked File). Check that the file ends with .lua and if it does not rename the file so that is does. i.e. 01GtSt.lua
Place it in SD Card copy on your computer /SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/
