Another great new LUA app for you. Sometimes you have motor batteries of different capacities for the same model, and the Telemetry Alarm at some mAh count is only correct for one capacity. Or you have some new and some old batteries that you want to run down to different % remaining. This app lets you list the batteries for that model and then choose the correct one at powering up the model.

Hi All,
Based on feedback from the community and some good input from Harry after his testing and flying with the original app, I am working on a second version of the app that allows the pilot to define groups of batteries, which are global to all models, and for each model you can select one group of batteries. The groups can be named (e.g. "3S 3600 mAh").

The popup window that comes up when the airplane is turned on allows the selection of one battery from the assigned group of batteries for the model to be used for that flight. I've also added a second announcement (for example you might have "battery getting low" at 20% remaining capacity and "land now!" at 5% capacity). Also, you can do haptics (stick shakes) on the announcements in addition to playing wav file.

Stand by .. coming soon!
Dave

Thanks Dave and Harry for making it easy for us.

I ran into one problem after installing the app, my capacity bar shows red at 100% and turns blue at the set warning level. Seems everything works fine and can not find how to change this. Also tried different menu colors but no effect. I was working with the latest version. Is there somewhere a setup that I can change?

Thanks, Teus
