New EdgeTX Widgets: Flight Counter, Realtime Gauges, Battery Meters, and Histogram

Thank you for doing videos, You got some of the best!
I wish you would do a video on updating Horus x10 to Edge tx.
I’ve tried doing this in vain.
My radio says “wrong mother board” after I did this.
Also, no touch screen action at all.
I went right back to Open tx

Great video thank you .😊

Don't know if you will see this but great videos man I've learned a ton from you. I'm trying to set up the flight counter but in debug instead of rxbat for telemetry it says RSSI. I'm getting RSSI telemetry because I set up the Guage to show it in the top bar like yours and it's showing when I plug in a pack but on the flights debug it never triggers it. Everything else is turning on in debug except for that so I can't ever get it to start the timer to count flights. I've looked around the net and haven't had any luck so thought I'd ask on here. Thx in advance to you or anyone else who may have some input.

greattt!!! but I don't know how to load on radio master...You have some video that show how to load? Thanks

When I use Value 2, the screen numbers are much smaller than in the video. Anyone else see this? Thanks

I'm using version 2.8.0. I don't seem to have a WIDGETS folder anymore. But I do have widgets. Any suggestions? Thank you

Would these widgets work for the TX12 mk2?

hi sir. For the Flights count how do I reverse the arm switch ( SF) I prefer the switch to be in an up position when armed. Thanks
( what I mean is that the ON-switch (SF) is down by default. I like to change to up position.)

Thank you for reviewing this set of widgets! Although I likely will not use this particular one, it helps me to understand what is possible with this radio. It truly seems that there are limitless possibilities for personalization and data capture, and videos like these help me to start thinking of other options to dream up. Appreciate you, man! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Hello, why didn't put a wizard for Helicopters in EdgeTX ?

I just tried the gauge rotary widget, thought it would be nice as a tach for a gas powered model. The RPM sensor is discovered and working with other widgets, however this one continuously says "disconnected," EdgeTX 2.7.1. any ideas?

i wonder if we can do a mirroring screen using USB cable from T16s to any monitor. It will be help when we have a copilot .

Thank you for great content. is there a guide to what numbers to use to change timer widget colors. the 3 boxes with numbers.

I'm trying to use the flight counter widget on a fixed wing with no telemetry. I use an arm switch, throttle CH, but I can't get the telemetry to show up as "ON". Any idea on how to make it work?

Looks like the Value 2 widget is broken, it does not work with EdgeTX 2.8

I have a powered glider and would like to know that if while flying and I put the throttle down to 0 and bake up again would it count it as an other flight????

Very cool, I’ve been considering upgrading my radio from the x9D+ and the Tx16s in particular is what I’m leaning toward. Looking more and more into what it can do and also what edge tx can do videos like this defiantly help. Good work thanks

Thanks, love the widgets. I have the widgets on my radio SDcard.But when I click on one, it says "script syntax error, unexpected value. Where did I go wrong?

Hello!!!

I ran into the Analog Battery Widget today at the field, once I noticed I was receiving Telemetry from my Radio after changing my ESC to an Avian (Receiver is a Spektrum receiver).

I configured 4 panels on my screen, and had an extra "opening", so I setup t he Analog Battery widget, and it worked perfectly!

I added a function to play the battery voltage every 30s, and voila!

The problem I ran into is that after power cycling the radio, the Battery Telemetry widget disappeared.

I configured it again, and once again, after cycling the radio, the widget disappeared.

I moved widgets around, and the only one that for some reason disappears is the Battery Widget.

I found this video while trying to find if someone has run into a similar issue.

I'm running 2.7.1 on my Radiomaster MK II Max. I replaced my stock SD card for a Verbatim 8GB card the minute I got my radio, given some posts that I read that the stock was faulty.

Have you or anyone noticed this behavior?

Ah! Here is the video on the Widgets, thanks!

How do I make a custom background ? I'm sorry new to edge tx

I do welcome more suggestions to enhance the Flight counter.

GaugeRotary: per John request, I added min/max also on the main view (not just on "Full screen mode")

Per John request
I updated the Flights counter

move color configuration to top of the file (it is still in code)
if the count is more than 2 digit (on a tight place), do not display the icon

Cool widgets. 👍🤓

You have to try one!!! pentel orenz nero in 0.3... you will love this pencil it's designed not to break .3....

I like the flight counter. I have a manual version of it using the trim switch held for more than 3 seconds to change a global variable and display it as a widget. I really like the automatic version because I have thought later - "did I log that flight?" The other ones are very useful also. Time for some programming/LUA script fun.

Hi John,
Thanks for bringing Offer's widgets to our attention. I really like the Flight Counter! However, I found the lack of the color option problematic with some themes. It prompted me to try doing the same thing with logical switches and a special function, which I've managed to get working. It was then a simple exercise to use a Value widget to display the GV and set the color to match everything else.
This led me to discover another annoyance. While it is possible to assign a name to a Global Variable, that name doesn't appear alongside its value in the widget display - it still shows as "GVx".
It would be really nice if EdgeTX used names assigned to GVs when displaying them in widgets, just as they currently do when viewing the GV list in the model setup. It would make the meaning of the GV value much clearer. Would you be kind enough to request this of the developers for a future release? I'm sure you pull more weight with them than I would. 😊
Cheers,
Geoff

Thanks for your videos and tutorials, appreciate them very much.
Tested this widgets on the field today. Using EdgeTx version 2.8.0, none of them worked as expected. Might be an issue with the non official v2.8.0 latest nightly.

They need to separate RX batt and Lipo pack voltage. Right now it toggles between the two, seems a bit odd to me...Great new Widget designs though and as usual, a great tutorial...🤔😳😀🇬🇧

John, is there documentation in the zip file?

Great widgets! Is there a way to make the per cell voltage be read out? I have some great stuff set up for battery monitoring (mostly from this channel!) but I hate the mental maths it can require when flying different cell packs.

Hi John
thanks for helping our community and help spreading the knowledge to all

some more clarification:

GaugeRotary
if you like to see the min/max after the flight, just move the widget to full screen (app mode)

Histogram
as you could see, there is still work to add to it,
I need to find a good way to limit the number of columns, since if there are many columns, I do not have a place to write the text
I will work on it next month.

Flights count:
allow the user to select the color is a "must have"
however, currently this version of edgeTx is still limited to 5 options only, and I need them for the functionality
so I need to wait for future improvements of edgeTx,
I can, however, move all the colors to the top of the code, so it will be easier to replace them.

The perfect LOS tool. I'll be back, thanks John...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

Well I’m a new flyer couple of months some computer experience so when I went for a radio I just jumped in at the deep end tx16s so glad I did , I think it’s helped learning duel rates , expo
I think because your actually inputting stuff in kinda sits in the mind better
& it’s shown in my flying too , to have never flown before and having success every flight is down to videos like this and open tx , I’d just like to offer a massive thanks to the channel and all that chime in been so so helpful 🙏

Wow! This stuff coming out to use in EdgeTX is pretty amazing. Keeps this old man thinking about how to put it to use. Keep up the good work John. Nice work Offer.

Wow Edge is really an intuitive platform! Amazing time to be in our hobby!! Thanks for explaining and showing us these new widgets John!

SO COOL. These are some awesome options. John on the Flight counter, how do we edit the LUA script so the switch function is inverted. (arm switch in my case is on for the counter when it is in the off)

come on ..hit the like button !!!!!👍

Very cool!
I’ve been using a flight counter for a while now using very similar logic but it’s nice to have it in widget form! Excellent!

Hello from Greece. Can I apply the widget on my Radiomaster Zorro? Or will it cause crashes or unexpected behavior? Thank u

Wow John this is really cool l like it a lot. Thanks for sharing with us

Really good tks

wow the flight counter is best widget , my suggestion is to add total time to it
