How to setup and activate Timers in V:5 on 7e

It was so simple and easy to setup timers in Ver: 4. But I am struglling to setup any timer in Version 5 using TX 7e. It is confusing to say the least. The PDF manual does not work and I have searched everwhere could not find any answer.

afaik there were no changes in the ui for the initial 5.0.0, what type of timer are you trying to set, and what is going wrong for you? also what version of 5.0.0 are you using?

I updated today to 5.0 nightly (2016-05-15) and wondered the same, I couldn't find the Timers menu any longer. My workaround at the moment is to set "Timers" as a Menu button in the Main page config, so it is accessible from the main page.

When using the Standard Mixer GUI, it is still easy accessible in the model menu.

pb is testing some gui changes in the nightlies just now, also there were/are other bugs that are forcing the standard gui and blocking access to the advanced gui. so unless your using the nightlies for testing purposes (which is a good thing to do!, test it out and if you find bugs post them on the bug tracker) I'd stick with the original 5.0.0 for now

I am having problems with the same issue.
I asked about this in another thread and I was suggested to go and read the manual I read "9.3. Timers (Std & Adv GUI)" And honesty or my english sucks or I am an idiot but I read that thing many times and understood 0 of what it said there and I really don't see it explained there too.
I googled it and found instructions for devo 10 and others that don't apply since at some point I didn't find the menus mentioned.
For example I found this at helifreak that seems pretty straight forward, but I don't have the menu "STICK POSITION SWITCH" mentioned in step two, that thread is quite old and also I thought maybe since my devo has deviation that menu has another name, so I came here to ask.

I just want to program a timer for a specific model that will start a 0 count up to 5 minutes and then sound the alarm, but I want it to get activated at a low % throttle, say 5% or 10% and stop when the throttle is lower then that. thanks Oh I just installed the new deviation-devo7e-v5.0.0-7c72c8d that goebish had yesterday.

This is what I found at helifreak:
Don't waste your time with U/D buttons. Use the throttle channel to activate and stop the timer.

Here is the set up for the Throttle stick timer.

1. power on radio and enter the MODEL menu
2. go down to/enter the STICK POSITION SWITCH menu
3. under SWITCH select SPS 0, 1, 2, or 3 SW your choice, (I use SPS0 SW)
4. under CHANNEL select Throttle
5. under POSITION press L- till you reach L98%
6.under ON select HIGH
7.exit the MODEL menu
8. enter the FUNCTION menu
9 go down and enter TIMER
10.under TYPE select the one you use
11. under SWITCH select SPS 0, 1, 2, or 3 SW the same one you chose earlier ( SPS0 SW in my case)
12. exit to main screen power off the radio and you're done enjoy not having to remember to start or stop the timer
this will activate your timer and stop the timer at take off and landing. press Down to reset as normal or power off between packs your choice

I am reading that "9.3. Timers (Std & Adv GUI)" again and I don't understand what this things do: stopwhatch - permanent - count-down proportional. what is the difference between countdown and countdown proportional? what does switch do? what does reset sw do? what does control do? Why I can not access reset sw, or change it? when I press to go to it it takes me to timer2 and that is very confusing, then in timers2 this happen again and then again.

Also why is there like 4 timers? what you can do with 4 timers? I would love to know maybe there is something very useful that I could profit from.

When messing with all that trying to set up the the timer, I ended at one point, it seems, that some how I set up something similar to what I needed, no Idea how, but the problem was that the beeper was constantly beeping after that, so I undid, not sure how, whatever I did before trying to stop the continues beeping. So back to 0

@92zb: do you use 5.0.0 release version or nightly build?

@Multirotor Go: It's not that hard to use timers if the timers menu is accessible. switch defines the trigger for counting (THR in your case), reset sw the trigger for resetting the counter, and so on. Have you tried 5.0.0 release version or only nightly builds?

@HappyHarry: Is there maybe a 5.0.1 planned in near future? I'm not sure if this is worth a bug report - I found the MT99X as a new protocol in the release notes and wanted to try it, but it was not bundled in the release, that's why I updated to a nightly build with the protocol included.

pb and the guys are constantly working on the code so i'd expect these issues to be cleared very soon, you just have to realise that by using the nightlies you are on the bleeding edge and these issues will happen from time to time. as for a 5.0.1 I'm not sure what kind of changes would cause a new point release so I can't say for sure when it will be released

In my case I have the las nigtly build for 7e, and I think is ok. Which are the normal steps to programthe timer to star at 10% and stop at a lower %?

Thank you, I just used this thread for my question since was a similar topic, but since I don't know how to set up the timer, that is been my question from the begining, I have no idea if I have a bug or not.
