Introduction

OpenXsensor is the evolution of OpenXvario and extends it to multi-sensing applications.

Discussion about this project: http://openrcforums.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=86

Based on an Arduino platform, it connects to different sensors and transmits the measurements via FrSky telemetry capabilities.

It is both compatible with the D series receivers (HUB protocol) and the new X series rx (Smart Port protocol).

Functionalities provided at your choice :

  • Altimeter / Variometer (like FrSky Variometer high precision sensor)
    • Can use a second barometric sensor and switch with TX while flying
  • Air Speed
    • Can be used by OXS to compensate vertical speed measurements (dTE)
  • Up to 6 voltages measurements
    • Battery voltage measurements (like FrSky FBVS-01)
    • Lipo battery cell measurements (like FrSky FLVS-01 or FLVSS)
    • ...
  • RPM sensor
  • Current sensor (like FrSky FAS or FCS)
    • Can calculate the consumed current
  • Can use any sensor outputting voltage
    • Temperature sensor
    • ...
