BUTTON
NAVIGATION
TARANIS has 6 input keys: a standard set of +/-
/ENTER/EXIT, plus 2 contextual MENU and PAGE
keys. On the main views, the PAGE key will switch
between the different views described in the next
section. A long press of the PAGE key will bring up
the telemetry display from main screen. A short
press of the MENU key will call the model menu,
while a long press will call the radio settings menu.
In those 2 menus, a short press of the PAGE key
goes to the next page, while a long press goes back
to the previous one. EXIT goes back to the main
views. On the STICKS and MIXER model menu
pages, a long press of the MENU key will bring up a
channel monitor to allow quickly looking at the
result of a change in settings.
The navigation in a menu is simple: The +/- keys
will navigate up/down between editable fields, or
lines of fields depending on the screen. ENTER will
enter the line of fields when applicable, then edit
mode. In edit mode, +/- will change the value,
ENTER or EXIT will validate the input and return to
navigation. EXIT always goes back to the previous
navigation level.
In edit mode, we have four 2-key shortcuts
available: +/- together: Invert value -/ENTER : Set
value to 100 EXIT/PAGE: Set value to -100
MENU/PAGE: Set value to 0
Another handy feature is the auto selection of
physical inputs in the relevant fields. Instead of
choosing a source or switch with the + and - keys,
just move the pot or flick the switch you want, and
it will be recognised. For switches the position is
also auto-selected, and the +/- double key
combination will allow selecting the opposite
position in a pinch.
MAIN
SCREENS
TARANIS has 4 main views showing the same
basic information in the top part and different
inputs/outputs on the lower part. On the main
views a long press of the ENTER key brings up a
menu where you can reset the timers, telemetry
data (min/max), all of those, or bring up a statistics
view (throttle graph, timers). As mentioned above,
a short press of the PAGE key switches views. The
new title bar includes radio battery voltage,
receiver signal strength (for FrSky receivers), main
onboard voltage (can be receiver battery, flight
battery, or anything else depending on sensors the
"Voltage" parameter in the telemetry settings),
status icons (micro SD present, USB connected,
trainer port mode, logging in progress), audio
volume and time. The other "always present" items
are model name, flight mode, and trim/pot
positions. The logo is of course customisable - if you
have a micro SD card in your radio, you'll be able to
load your model's photo there!
The first view lists the physical switch states in
the bottom left zone, and the 2 timers (when
enabled) on the right.
The second shows the gimbal and switches
positions, and is handy to check that all the physical
controls respond as intended.
The third shows again the physical switches on
the left, and the states of the 32 custom (logic)
switches on the right.
