v2.01-rc1

Some bug fixes in this release which may help ULRS users or others who also use the USE_FLVSS_FAKE_SENSOR_DATA feature.
Issue fixed: users of the USE_FLVSS_FAKE_SENSOR_DATA feature would occasionally see a low Cmin value reported on the Taranis, and once the issue occurred it would remain throughout the flight. This was caused by the Teensy code continually checking the LiPo voltage to determine the cell count and occasional high voltage readings being incorrectly reported by the power brick which would cause the cell count to be considered higher than in reality, thus dividing total battery voltage by a higher cell count to report individual cell voltages as falsely low. Once the cell count was deemed higher, it would remain at this value. The code now allows the cell count to be determined just once and sticks with that value throughout the flight, thus when powered on the ground its less likely for there to be a power spike and the cell count to be determined correctly.

v2.0

v2.0 sees the introduction of this new major release which includes:

• Main telemetry screen now with its own configuration page - press MENU from the main.lua page to access this new screen (this replaces offset.lua mixer script from v1.x scripts)
• New configuration page now stores its settings on SD card instead of in EEPROM
• All LUA telemetry files are now compiled reducing memory utilisation. Its now possible to have all scripts loaded without memory issues - original source files also provided in repo
• Scripts now compatible with both OpenTx 2.1 and 2.2
• Updates since rc1:
  • Battery capacity now allows up to 500Wh to be selected (was 250Wh in rc1)
  • Speed Units now additionally includes kts (knotts/nautical miles per hour)
• Teensy code remains the same as v1.8

This release introduces a new folder layout in the repository which is hopefully more intuitive:

• _/Taranis - contains all the Taranis files including:_
• /Taranis/LUA_SD_Card/SCRIPTS - this folder (with all its sub folders and files) forms the SCRIPTS folder on the Taranis SD card. Its important to copy the entire folder structure over. This contains the compiled LUA files and a folder which will store the config files.
• /Taranis/LUA_SD_Card/SOUNDS/en/Ava/TELEM - this TELEM folder to be copied to /SOUNDS/en/ on SD card (so final path will be /SOUNDS/en/TELEM/)- this contains the additional sound files (using the Ava voice) for this telemetry system. (Alternate Samantha version also available)
• /Taranis/LUA_Source_files - these should not be copied to the Taranis - just for access to source LUA.
• _/Teensy - contains all the Teensy files including:_
• /Teensy/libraries - contains some of the required arduino libraries supporting the Teensy code
• Teensy/MavLink_FrSkySPort - Main teensy sketch files

Full notes on setting up the Teensy and installing the sketch are now included in the updated wiki here: https://github.com/athertop/MavLink_FrSkySPort/wiki

_Important note -_ For anyone who is moving to this version from a version prior to 1.8, it should be understood that the Teensy code was changed in v1.8 including updates to the FrSky Arduino library, so the v1.8 release notes should also be checked out. In a nutshell, it means that for this release to work, you will first need to install the FrSky library contained with this release in your Arduino IDE, and then compile and write the Teensy sketch provided with this release also.
