DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/Lua_scripts/Graupner HoTT Model Locator.lua
Michael 175cfa5e93
This is the Graupner HoTT adapted version of the Model Locator script. It uses the Graupner HoTT telemetry sensor "Rssi" instead of the OpenTX sensor "RSSI". (#693)
Reasoning: The OpenTX sensor "RSSI" is populated by the individual OpenTX telemetry protocol implementations and returns a value from 0..100 (percent) originating from the early FrSky implementation. It turns out that FrSky did not really provide a genuine signal strength indicator in units of dbm but a link quality indicator in 0..100%. With Graupner HoTT the link quality indicator is not a good basis for the model locator as it is very non-linear and doesn't change much with distance. Using the Graupner HoTT telemetry sensor "Rssi" which is a true signal strength indicator serves the purpose of locating a model much better as it varies much more with distance.

-- Model Locator by RSSI
-- Offer Shmuely (based on code from Scott Bauer 6/21/2015)
-- Date: 2021
-- ver: 0.1
-- MHA (based on code from Offer Shmuely)
-- Date: 2022
-- ver: 0.11
-- changes: made version for Graupner HoTT. Uses real Rssi data scaled -15db to -115db to 100..0
-- This widget help to find a lost/crashed model based on the RSSI (if still available)
-- The widget produce audio representation (variometer style) of the RSSI from the lost model
-- The widget also display the RSSI in a visible colorized bar (0-100%)
-- There are two way to use it
-- 1. The simple way:
-- walk toward the quad/plane that crashed,
-- as you get closer to your model the beeps will become more frequent with higher pitch (and a visual bar graph as well)
-- until you get close enough to find it visually
-- 2. the more accurate way:
-- turn the antenna straight away (i.e. to point from you, straight away)
-- try to find the weakest signal! (not the highest), i.e. the lowest RSSI you can find, this is the direction to the model.
-- now walk to the side (not toward the model), find again the weakest signal, this is also the direction to your model
-- triangulate the two lines, and it will be :-)
