[NSRCA-discussion] How many transmitters let you add your own features?

[Vogel, Peter]

Jeti's DC-24 added Lua scripting capability so you can add your own "native" features to the radio easily. They just released a SW update so you can do the same with the DC and DS-16s too.

I played with it a bit today. This is AMAZING. I've written a Lua script here: https://github.com/pvogel1967/Lua-Apps/tree/master/Discharged%20Flightpack for warning if you arm your plane with a discharged flight pack (happens more often than I would like in competition). While it *is* possible to get the same functionality from the native features of the radio, it burns a sequencer and several logical switches. It's even more complicated to do if you have an ESC with a BEC and you use a separate RX backup pack as many of us flying competition do! As an added bonus I added the ability to have it announce the model name when the TX is powered up or a model is selected. While this is ostensibly a distinct function it seemed silly to burn another one of 10 script slots just for announcing the name of the model. See the readme in the above directory for details of the app.

Everything you see on the screen below is a result of this script being enabled for this model.
