different sounds for telemetry alarms

Is there a way to get different sounds for different alarms? For example 1 sound if lipo voltage <=3,6V and 1 different sound if holds>=1 ? Thank you!

Not really. There was some discussion a while back about adding an Audio FX board as a module, but I don't know that anything ever came of it.

You can edit the alarm sounds in sound.ini (media folder)The alarm number (1-6) corresponds with the order on the telem config page.
You can combine tones for pretty unique sounds. A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, etc. A is the lowest tone, the number (=100) is the play time. IIRC you can add silent pauses as well, don't remember how.
You can add more than the three tones as well. This is my startup tone for example.

[telem_alarm1]
volume=100
f3=100
f2=100
c3=100

c4=200
a1=100
f2=100
d3=300
g3=150

Ok thank you this is what I needed! But there is a problem. I am making tests with the emulator and if telem_alarm1 triggers then telem_alarm2 you hear only the first. Can you/someone confirm this? You hear only the first alarm triggered?

I don't know anything about notes and music...are there any cool sounds that i can put in the alarms?

Here is one that I made. It sounds kind of like a European police car, .......Bee-Bah Bee-Bah Bee-Bah.
It gets my attention better than most others.

The Chicken Dance!................sort of.

Great info. I've waded into the sources, and added documentation on all this to the manual. Please double check it here: deviationtx.com/manuals/html-devo8/ch_ad...tml#modifying-sounds (the 7e/10 manual is built from the same text) and let me know if I screwed anything up!

I wonder if there is a limit to the maximum total number of milliseconds that a single playback can be?

It would be cool to have a PC utility to play back "tunes" that are in the sound.ini format to hear them before actually saving them to the sound.ini file and having to play them back on the Tx or emulator, waiting for the conditions to be met that triggers them.

Having, for the lack of a better term, a repository of different tunes for deviationtx users to contribute and draw from would be nice too.

It's only an uncertainty surrounding semitones and a possible lack of battery mAh that is stopping me tackling Bach's St Matthew Passion on the Devo 7E.

If the weather doesn't improve around here, that might be all there is to do with it.

.....and I would assume that there is a maximum number of milliseconds per note, as well? 999ms/note perhaps? If so, you could have quite the alarm, maybe the complete theme from Star Wars! =O)

Pause should be "xx" instead of tone according another thread, but it doesn't work with my DEVO 10

Mine either, in fact it locks up my 10 when it gets to the pause.

Hello
I have tried to change some sounds in my sound.ini.
I just changed the shutdown and battery alarm.
I separated each note by a xx=10 silence.
The files works fine in the emulator but once in my devo 8s, the modified sounds does not work. It seems that there is just a small click .
Thank you for any idea

Hello

What I understand about sound.ini.

The xx feature for silence does not work elsewhere than in the simu.
About the Shutdown section.

Shutdown music is used when the TX is shut down and it is very short (5 notes)
But it is also used when the Tx stays idle for the time set for Power on Alarm. And it only plays also 5 notes which very few. The rest of the music is played when activating the tx.
It would be good to separate the two musics :
one for shutdown
one for Idle tx

Hi vlad, I put some related questions in the voice tread about alerts, test build but which works pretty well......

might be bit off topic here but;

F.I. How to select, if we want a buzz or voice alert?
To be able to select scroll thrue list of voice alerts in deviation Tx menu? (I think the mp3 files, labeled with 4 digit nr, as stored on the mp3 dfplayer to be defined some were in media folder?)


Another more off topic request, related to alarms, would be ability to set a timer in steps of 0.1 sec. So f.i. if flight pack is below 3.5V for >3 seconds than play alert. But not play alert, on a short spike.
In addition already possible you can setup more alerts on same event so you can configure fi. 3.0V Emergency alert, sound immediately.

Hello
Thanks for your reply, Vlad_vy.
Excuse me but I am not used to nightly builds.Which one should I use to test my sound.ini.?

Hi,
the telemetry alarms are working fine. But there should be a special handling for the vario data.
Normally the sound of a vario let you hear how fast is the climbing/sinking rate.
One can apply this behavior by using the vario value (VSI) more than once in the telemetry config screen.
But there we have only six possibilities...

My idea is to add some configs like
a switch for variotones on/off
a value for climbing when the climbtones should be played.
a value for sinking when the sinktones should be played.
The variotone itself should depend on the VSI value.
Therefor it should be possible to define a note range (startnote/endnote) seperatly for climbing and sinking.
In this range the climb- or sinknotes should be generated.

That would be great.
