getSourceValue(source)

Returns the value of a source. Supersedes getValue.

The list of fixed sources:

OpenTX Version	Radio
2.0	all
2.1	X9D and X9D+, X9E
2.2	X9D and X9D+, X9E, Horus
2.3	X9D and X9D+, X9E, X7, Horus

In OpenTX 2.1.x the telemetry sources no longer have a predefined name. To get a telemetry value simply use it's sensor name. For example:

• Altitude sensor has a name "Alt"

• to get the current altitude use the source "Alt"

• to get the minimum altitude use the source "Alt-", to get the maximum use "Alt+"

value is nil for non-existing sources. all non-allowed sensors while FAI MODE is active, or if a telemetry item value has never been received

value is a table for GPS position:

• lat (number) latitude, positive is North

• lon (number) longitude, positive is East

• pilot-lat (number) pilot latitude, positive is North

• pilot-lon (number) pilot longitude, positive is East

value is a table for date/time, see getDateTime()

value is a table for battery cells(except where no cells were detected in which case the returned value is 0):

• table has one item for each detected cell:

• key (number) cell number (1 to number of cells)

• value (number) current cell voltage

@status current Introduced in 2.8.0

Parameters

• source can be an index (number) (which was obtained by getFieldInfo or getSourceIndex) or a name (string) of the source.

Return value

• value current source value (number), or last known telemetry item value.

• isCurrent is true for telemetry sources that are within the "Sensor Lost" duration and telemetry is streaming . Always true for non-telemetry items.

• isFresh is true for telemetry sources which have been recently updated and telemetry is streaming. Always true for non-telemetry items.

Notice

Getting a value by its numerical identifier is much faster than by its name. While Cels sensor returns current values of all cells in a table, a Cels+ or Cels- will return a single value - the maximum or minimum Cels value.
