FrSKY GPS
Description

Reads coordinates from up to 2 GPS sensors
One GPS on the aircraft and an optional GPS on the Tx (Pilot-Home position)
When only one GPS is used the Pilot-Home position is set to where the GPS
strats reporting coordinates or when telemetry is reset. This is usually
the flying field’s location.
Reads optional altitude and speed sensors
These sensors are used for return home announcements
Displays a number of parameters all of which are optional
Distance between the pilot and aircraft
Accumulated trip distance of the pilot and aircraft
Distances are in meters and kilometers
Headings of the pilot and aircraft
Direction from the pilot to the aircraft, the “Find” direction
Headings and directions are arrows relative to North
Direction from the aircraft to the pilot, the “Home” direction
This if off by default;
Direction for the aircraft to “Turn” to return home
Turns are left and right arrows relative to straight up being don’t turn
The number of arrows displayed depends on the transmitter’s screen width
The Taranis X7 can display up to first 3 and the X9 series up to first 4
There is an option to force display of all arrows which is achieved by making them smaller
Announces a number of Aircraft parameters to help return home
The announcements are controlled by configurable switches
The default is switch “sf” for all but can be controlled individually
and in groups
The announcements are periodic with the interval for each configurable
Distance from the pilot every 60 seconds
Heading and speed every 60 seconds
Altitude every 10 seconds
Turns every 15 seconds
A number of the announcements rely on custom sound files
Two text files have been provided to help generate these files
CSV file following the OpenTX format
PSV file following the TTSAutomate format
Languages supported by using the corresponding sound files provided

Writes a number of Aircraft parameters to the transmitter’s Global Variables
These are configurable and are off by default
More details about this are provided in the script file
