Displaying ELRS telemetry on EdgeTX

1

I recently worked through the setup of ELRS on PX4. This required making a custom firmware target to include the ELRS drivers. (One for ELRS, one for ELRS telemetry)

I was disappointed that Qgroundcontrol did not have access to all the ELRS telemetry. Specifically, LQ is not available on Qgroundcontrol. Speaking with @chris1seto (who wrote the ELRS driver) he said that this data is available in the log - but no on Qgroundcontrol.

Using one of my Python scripts - I’ve confirmed that this data is in the logs.

I later realized that with the firmware driver for ELRS telemetry in the target, I could simply use EdgeTX widgets to display this information. Here are examples on a RadioMaster Pocket, and a RadioMaster TX16S.

I maintain a small collection of technical articles on my website. If others think it would be useful, I can add an article that explains how all this is accomplished.
