How to switch to FM2M ToolBox PRO version

How to install ToolBox

How to run ToolBox in application mode

Once flies are moved properly into your radio’s SD card FM2M ToolBox will be available in TOOLS TAB of EdgeTX

Shortcut to open TOOLS TAB is:
  • long left joystick press on FrSky XLite family radios
  • long press MENU key on other radios
  • long press SYS key on Color LCD radios & some BW Radiomaster radios

How to run ToolBox in background mode (telemetry script) on B&W LCD radios

  • Go to DISPLAY tab in model setup
  • Select Screen1 -> Script
  • Select -> fm2mTB or TB090 (for the newest version)
  • Being in main view of OpenTX long press PAGE key

!!! Important In this mode script is running all the time in background mode. If you have any other big script running simultaneously in background (like BF LUA) scripts may throw error or crash due to lack of memory.

How to run ToolBox in background mode (widget) on Color LCD radios

  • Add FM2M TBOX widget to one of your main views
  • Set BGMODE in Widget’s settings if you want to run ToolBox constantly in background.
  • Set STATUS in Widget’s settings if you want to see ToolBox telemetry preview.
  • Double tap or select ‘Full Screen’ to open ToolBox
  • To go back to system long press EXIT key

ToolBox doesn't work. App starts but no data is displayed.

Possible reasons
  1. RC Link type is not set in ToolBox configuration
  2. Telemetry sensors are not discovered in EdgeTX

I've discovered sensors but I can't see all data like Gyro mode (Stab, Horizon, Acro), Current drawn or mAh consumed.

There are two kinds of Telemetry sensors:
1. Receiver sensors
2. Flight Controller sensors

To enable first one you just have to bind receiver to transmitter. Depending on RC link type usually sensors like RSSI, RQly or RX voltage will be available.

Second group of sensors need to connect Flight Controller and configure properly it’s firmware (BetaFlight or EmuFlight) to send FC telemetry sensors via receiver to transmitter. Once you configure it sensors like Curr, Bat%, FM, or Capa will show up providing additional info about quad state.

I have configured FC telemetry but still I can't see Gyro mode (Stab, Horizon, Acro)

Well that depends on RC Link type and how hardware supplier implemented protocol.

Examples:

  • Gyro mode is available in FrSky D8/D16, CRSF & ELRS but not in Ghost
  • VTX status is available in  CRSF, Ghost but not in FrSky D8/D16 and ELRS
  • KISS is not supported yet. So you will see most data but not flight mode for example

As soon as they are available I will include them in future releases.

I can't see my VTX status

First of all as for telemetry VTX status is available for IRC Ghost and TBS Crossfire/Tracer protocols.

ToolBox’s Dashboard will show VTX status when VTX protocol is properly configured both in Toolbox and in FC firmware (ie. BetaFlight).

  1. For Crossfire RX, VTX has to be one of TBS VTXs (Unify) connected via SmartAudio or CRSF protocol
  2. For Ghost RX, seems that any of IRC Tramp protocol capable VTX will work as VTX status is stored in Ghost TX module (need to be confirmed 100%)

From version 0.77 MSP protocol is available. Requirements:

  •  FC with Betaflight 4.3+
  • VTX connected to FC and set to use
  • SmartAudio for CRSF and ELRS 
  • Tramp for IRC and Ghost

How to set Throttle limiter

  • Limiting throttle is done via Mixer configuration. LUA has access to mixer configuration but to avoid any misbehaviour mixer configuration is not coded.
  • Once you make manually proper Mixer configuration (video below) configure proper input (slider or trim) in ToolBox configuration to display Limiter value.
