getSourceValue(source)
Returns the value of a source. Supersedes getValue.
The list of fixed sources:
OpenTX Version | Radio |
|---|---|
2.0 | |
2.1 | |
2.2 | |
2.3 |
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 Northlon(number) longitude, positive is Eastpilot-lat(number) pilot latitude, positive is Northpilot-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
sourcecan be an index (number) (which was obtained bygetFieldInfoorgetSourceIndex) or a name (string) of the source.
valuecurrent source value (number), or last known telemetry item value.isCurrentis true for telemetry sources that are within the "Sensor Lost" duration and telemetry is streaming . Always true for non-telemetry items.isFreshis true for telemetry sources which have been recently updated and telemetry is streaming. Always true for non-telemetry items.
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.Last modified 5mo ago
