WAVE radio enhancements: My personal wish list

[curmudgeon]

My personal wishlist for the Spirit WAVE radio.

I am enjoying the Spirit WAVE radio with Spirit W1 flight controllers. I do have a wish list of items for the WAVE radio that would enhance my overall user experience with this system.

Hardware Wish List:
1. Additional switch options: push buttons, short 2-way switches, reverse spring-loaded momentary switches, safety switches.


Software Wish List:
1. Screen Shots: ability to take screen shots right from the radio at the flick of a switch. These screen shots would be stored in the radio, but should be accessible from the cloud as well.
2. Short Cuts: Have a screen page where one can easily access our personally most frequently used functions.
3. Organization within folders: Ability to better visually organize batteries, alarm warnings, Models, etc. within their respective folders.
4. Motion sensors: Activation of the WAVE radio’s internal motion sensors. ***EDIT*** Tomas states this function already exists. I’ll edit this when I figure out how to use it.
5. Call outs: Ability to call out parameters like head speed, voltage, etc. ***EDIT*** Tomas states this function already exists. I’ll edit this when I figure out how to use it.
6. Even out cyclic travels: Ability to even out the elevator and aileron travels.
7. Even out collective travels more easily: Ability to even out the high and low collective travels more easily. The PC software has a “pitch adjustment” box within the “Servo Travel Correction” page that one can check so that all 3 cyclic servos move up and down evenly, rather than having to adjust each of the 3 cyclic servos up or down individually. ***EDIT*** This function already exists. It is accessed via the one of the pages in the Setup Wizard.
8. Flight Modes parameters comparison: Ability to view and compare different Flight Mode parameter values in one single screen view.
9. Full view of complete setup: Ability to view all the parameter values for each Spirit unit on a large computer display.
10. Logical switches
11. Automatic data download and/or synchronization: Automatic data download and/or synchronization with cloud whenever the radio is connected to the WiFi network.
12. Enhanced alarms: ability to customize alarms. For instance, I don’t want the battery alarm to announce low voltage whenever the battery drops below 3.6V/cell, but I would want an alarm to announce when the battery voltage remains at or below 3.6V/cell for a few seconds.
13. Telemetry values as function: ability to set telemetry values as input for a function. For instance, after the battery capacity drops beyond a user predefined point, the head speed automatically drops to a user adjustable value (like 300rpm).

Thank you for the list.
Everything will emerge withing following updates, yet 4, 5 and 7 are there already.

Erik Strauser explained in Facebook how to access and accomplish #7.

I am very happy to learn that #4 and #5 are already available features. I am unclear how to access and use them. Is there a guide showing how to use these already existing features?

Hello Tomas,

I did not realize there is already a "Wishlist / Bug report" section in this Spirit Forum. Please, move this thread to the "Wishlist / Bug report" forum. Thank you!

Thank for the list! I'll add my wish;-)
14. In Geolink menu to have possibility to start Geolink compas calibration.
15. To have possibility in servo settings menu set the servos to the zero position.

All these are available from Spirit settings software.

Thanks!
Milan

Countdown timers...

Currently Countdown timers are included. They are activated by Throttle for now.
There will be timers activated by other inputs/switches very soon too.
