In this tutorial, we are going to show you how. Furious FPV uses this article is written by Artur Banach, Oscar and editted by Furious FPV. This guide is written specifically for Betaflight firmware - Fortini F4 OSD. Hardware Requirement Taranis X9D or QX7 TX Furious FPV SPD15 or XSR RX (Smart Port required) Fortini F4 OSD Flight Controller with Betaflight FW, found out if Smart Port is supported natively Stealth Race VTX to change VTX settings from Taranis transmitter Hardware Connection To allow VTX configure from Taranis, simply connect S.PORT from SPD15 or XSR RX to UART TX6 pin on the Fortini F4 OSD For changing VTX settings, Telemetry port from Stealth Race VTX V3 also needs to be connected to one of the UART TX4 Please connect as the below picture:

15 14 Update Taranis OpenTX Firmware Your Taranis TX has to be updated to the latest OpenTX firmware. The process is simple, and it s covered here: Download LUA Script for Betaflight The LUA script for Betaflight can be downloaded here: *Note: Don't copy the contents of this repository onto your SDCard Unzip the files from the link above and drag the contents to your radio. If you do this correctly, the SCRIPTS directory will merge with your existing directories, placing the scripts in their appropriate paths. You will know if you did this correctly if the bf.lua file shows up in your /SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY directory. The src directory is not required for use and is only available for maintenance of the code. While it may work to use this directory, you may encounter memory issues on your transmitter. How to install: Bootloader Method 1. Power off your transmitter and power it back on in bootloader mode. 2. Connect a USB cable and open the SD card drive on your computer. 3. Unzip the file and copy the scripts to the root of the SD card. 4. Unplug the USB cable and power cycle your transmitter. Manual method (varies, based on the model of your transmitter) 1. Power off your transmitter. 2. Remove the SD card and plug it into a computer 3. Unzip the file and copy the scripts to the root of the SD card. 4. Reinsert your SD card into the transmitter 5. Power up your transmitter. If you copied the files correctly, you can now go into the telemetry screen setup page and set up the script as telemetry page.

16 15 Betaflight Configurator Settings First of all, make sure that Smart Port is setup properly: 1. In Betaflight Configurator, Ports tab, find the UART where you have connected S.PORT to, then select Smart Port at Telemetry Output column 2. Enable option TELEMETRY in Configuration tab Extra Steps for VTX setup Go to Ports tab, find the UART4 you connected FC to the VTX and choose IRC TRAMP [Auto] in Peripherals tab. With Fortini OSD FC, I am using Serial RX in UART3, IRC Tramp for Stealth Race VTX V3 in UART4 and SmartPort in UART TX6. *Note: Don t forget to Click Save and Reboot when you finish. Setting up LUA script on telemetry page Adding the script as a telemetry page will enable access at the press of a button. (For now, this only applies to the Taranis X9D series) 1. Hit the [MENU] button and select the model for which you would like to enable the script 2. While on the [MODEL SELECTION] screen, long-press the [PAGE] button to navigate to the [DISPLAY] page 3.
