Examples¶

From the official Ethos documentation

local sensor1 = model.createSensor({type=SENSOR_TYPE_SPORT, appId=0x0100, physId=0x10}) -- S.Port "Altitude" sensor
local sensor2 = model.createSensor({type=SENSOR_TYPE_CRSF, crsfId=0x14, subId=0}) -- CRSF "Tx RSSI" sensor
local sensor3 = model.createSensor({type=SENSOR_TYPE_DIY}) -- DIY sensor
sensor3:name("My sensor")
sensor3:unit(UNIT_KILOMETER)
sensor3:decimals(3)
sensor3:appId(0x0110)
sensor3:physId(0x10)
sensor3:value(100)
