For planes that have the space I use my Telemetry script (available at
http://rcsettings.com/index.php/view...proved-version )that uses the Taranis frsky-fcs-150a-smartport-current-sensor
frsky-flvss-lipo-voltage-sensor
This telemetry lua script provides an accurate method of informing the pilot of remaining lipo percentage, complete with audible readout of each 10% drop in capacity.
Other methods that just read lowest cell voltage suffer from false readings due to the fact that lipo cells drop dramatically on full throttle then recover.
The script monitors the actual current consumed whilst flying.
Believing that you can never have enough safety features I was looking at the Low Voltage Cut out system and found that it seems to be a poor system.
Has anyone hacked ESC's (Changed the firmware)?
