VTX Power switching via transmitter switch (Opentx/Betaflight/Tramp/Smartaudio)

vtx.lua

--
-- *Fixed version of wkochFPV for BF 3.5
-- Original: https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/issues/3094#issuecomment-302953603
-- Note: If you put it on a 3-way switch and go from first to third position fast it may not register correctly so better step through slowly
--
-- *Changes:
-- Corrected loading of dependencies
-- Shortened filename to make it compatible with latest opentx restrictions
-- Added a condition in the script for pit mode (vtx power 0 alone didn't work for me)
--
-- *How To (Copy pasted from comment)
-- 1. Install betaflight-tx-lua-scripts as usual
-- 2. Install my script vtx.lua in /SCRIPTS/MIXES
-- 3. In model menu of your taranis go to LUA-scripts page and enable VTXprog.lua and configure as follows:
-- 4. Enter your desired band: 1="A", 2="B", 3="E", 4="F", 5="R" (unify pro!)
-- 5. Enter your desired channel: 1,2,3…
-- 6. Select “global variable 1” (GV1, or another free global variable) as input for TxPower
-- 7.Now configure any switch to adjust GV1 to the desired power level: 0=pit mode, 1=25mW, 2=200mW … (use special functions menu, select ‘adjust GV1’ as action, enter desired value). Use e.g. 0 for your switch neutral position, 1 for switch up, 2 for switch down, if you would like to select 25mw or 200mw based on switch position.

end
	
local function run(TxPower, TxBand, TxChannel)
    
	-- ignore any settings on first run of the script, send only further changes to vtx
	if firstrun == 1 then

	end
	
	if (lastPower ~= TxPower) or (lastBand ~= TxBand) or (lastChannel ~= TxChannel) then
		
		if TxPower > 0 then
			mspSendRequest(MSP_VTX_SET_CONFIG,VTXconfig(TxPower, TxBand, TxChannel,0))
			playFile("eng.wav")
		else
			mspSendRequest(MSP_VTX_SET_CONFIG,VTXconfig(TxPower, TxBand, TxChannel,1))
			playFile("eng.wav")
		end

		if TxPower == 0 then
			mspSendRequest(MSP_VTX_SET_CONFIG,VTXconfig(0, TxBand, TxChannel))
		end
		
		lastPower = TxPower
		lastBand = TxBand
		lastChannel = TxChannel
	end
	
	mspProcessTxQ()
	
    return
end

return {input=inputs, run=run}

Thanks a lot for adapting the Script.
Unfortunately I have some problems to get it working correctly.
Changing Band and Channel works fine.
Powerlevel however is giving me Problems. Values auf 3 and 4 are set correctly on the Unify HV. Values of 1 and 2 however do not change anything on the VTX. Is anybody else having similar problems?

Best Regards

@ghostface The script is not compatible anymore with Open TX 2.2.4 due to new soundfile naming pattern. I updated the script so it works with Open TX 2.2.4:

Hi, I have just installed this and it works really well.
Just wondering however if it is possible to not be bound to a specific band or channel?
As I would like to be able to select my channel, then simply change the power if needed during flight.
Otherwise if I forget I have changed channels, I will flick the switch and just get static.
I don't know much about Lua scripts, so unsure if this is possible.
Thanks again.
