BEASTX Lua script

When using a radio with EDGETX operating system and CRSF/ELRS communication you can setup your MICROBEAST PLUS/ULTRA or NANOBEAST directly from the radio using a custom Lua script. The latest version of the script can be downloaded here:


BeastX.lua script

Copy the script to the folder SCRIPTS/TOOLS on your radio's sd card or internal memory:

 



Opening setup

Long press the menu button on your EDGETX radio to open the script selection:

 



If communication with MICROBEAST/NANOBEAST is working you will see the info screen of your system:

 



Using the ENTER button you can navigate through the menus:

 



  • To change items use the controls of your radio as described for each menu step later onwards (sticks left/right/forward/backwards).
  • After each menu press ENTER again to skip to the next menu point.
  • After the last menu point of each menu you will exit the menu.
  • You can skip through a menu by simply pressing ENTER repeatedly.


  Always make sure to leave all menus when attempting to fly your heli! When a menu is still open, this can cause limited control ability specific to a given menu step.

It it highly recommended to close the BEASTX Lua script by pressing the EXIT button on the radio. You MICROBEAST/Nanobeast will then leave all menus automatically after a few seconds. Check LED display on the system!



Telemetry display

If you've installed the TELEMETRY feature on your MICROBEAST PLUS/ULTRA you can use your system as telemetry hub. This allows to read telemetry data from your ESC and send it to your radio. Once you've enabled the TELEMETRY in RECEIVER MENU you'll see telemetry data in your radio. Open the telemetry option and perform a scan for new sensors:

 



This sensors then can be added to your flight screen:
