I've just posted a new test version that should fix using a logical switch as a mix source. flashed the new x9e_romP3r224.bin and now that LA logical Switch I use for Armed state does work as expected when used as a source in the MIXER. thx for the fix. makes the MIXER screed easier to grok at a gl...

on my X9E running x9e_romP1r224.zip using LA as the source with switch as --- has no effect regardless of the state of LA, while the recipe of using FULL as the Source and LA as the Switch works as expected.

Works OK for me on a X9LiteS with LA set as a mix source. It should also work with the mix source set to FULL and LA assigned as the switch in the mix. Mike, thx for clarifying.. my mistake was trying to use LA as the Source.. following your recipe of using FULL as the source and LA as the switch w...

I'm looking at this. thx for looking into the navigation, Mike :metal: another observation.. did ErSkyTX's Logical Switches ever output a value? right now I have 4 Logical Switch combo to implement the ARM function. at the end Logical Switch LA indicates the armed or disarmed state. In EdgeTX/OpenT...

Mike, the new x9e_romP1r224.zip you posted fixes the cross-wired voice alert -- SD-down now works as expected and the Exit button is now silent like it's supposed to be. thx for the quick fix. here's another observation, if not a bug per se -- when looking at the Radio Setup/DiagSwitch screen, the P...

Mike, I may have found a bug with x9e_rom.bin R223 -- here's how stumbled on to this: in Voice Alerts I create a trigger on SD-down in slot 19 to play a FileType: Name VA19 ---- SDv ON N the wav file assigned to the above Voice Alert does NOT play when SD-down is selected, however this wav file assi...

Does something need to be configured under "WiFi Connectivity" before the Tx module appears? entering the WiFi Connectivity shows the following sub-menu of [buttons] https://i.imgur.com/2Rz1oDC.jpg and selecting [Enable WiFi] button pops up the following confirmation "window" ht...

array byte ParameterBuffer[240] ... Mike, I added the code you suggested. ELRSv2.bas no longer crashes, however when I select to enable WiFi Update I get a confirmation prompt. pressing MENU again shows a "WiFi Canceled" message. WiFi never gets enabled, I tried looking for the expected W...

I'm still learning how to handle ELRS modules. What is happening appears to be a question after a selection. I need to find out how the script should handle this. Mike, FWIW ELRSv2 talks the same Xfire protocol as `Crossfire.bas` -- ELRSv1 had its own protocol not compatible with Crossfire.lua API....

@MikeB, is the KingRadio TX18S fully supported in the erskyTxR223B5 build? I ask cuz this radio is currently selling for $90 after 40% discount using code QWINOUT-C https://QWinOut.com/collections/super-deal-clearance/products/radioking-tx18s-hall-sensor-gimbals-remote-control-multi-protocol-rf-syst...

If you flash the ELRS bootloader using the .frk format, then flash the ELRS code, can you revert to FrSky firmware? I have a R9M I could use for testing, but I would need to be able to put FrSky firmware back. Mike, yes, with the dual bootloader you can revert back to og FrSky fw for R9M -- all you...

I've had a quick look at how openTx updates ELRS, I think it is using the SPort signal as half-duplex at 57600 baud. Multi uses the SPort signal for data from multi to the radio and the PPM signal for data to multi. Mike, FYI here's the NV14 Nirvana FlySky-OpenTX-Test-Branch commit for adding Flash...

I've just posted a new test version for both the 'PRO and the X9E. This should sync. faster at low packet rates. Mike, offset in this latest build seems to drop down to single digits faster than I can switch from ELRS.bas to the DEBUG screen.. the worst I saw was 3 digits for a moment when I droppe...

Personally, I don't think it is worth changing the timer code to go much below 50 Hz. I don't see any down-side to sending packets at a harmonic of the RF packet rate given it still locks. If the ELRS master does end up supporting 15 Hz on 900 MHz, you could go to 45 Hz perhaps. Mike, what he said ...

OK, I knew this all sounded familiar.. it was @pafleraf over on EdgeTX discord asking me to test ELRS at 25Hz on the T-Lite with ExpressLRS 2.4GHz module: 25Hz gets bumped to 50Hz when I press ENTER I suppose ExpressLRS 900MHz TXen can go all the way down to 15Hz PktRate, while the lowest 2.4GHz can...

Not sure about 200Hz, I'll look at the code again. The 25Hz is too slow at present. My timer uses a 0.5uS resolution and I alternate between 2.5mS (5000 period) and "the rest". In the case of 25Hz "the rest" is 37.5mS giving a period of 75000, which is too large for a 16 bit tim...

How long does it take for 25Hz and 50Hz to lock in? Is it too long? With my ELRS 2.4GHz module switching among 150Hz, 250Hz & 500Hz is fast enough not to really notice.. 150Hz to 50Hz gets the offset into 0x2000, then it counts down to and settles in single digit territory same all the other Pk...

25 Hz 0:50 0x9C40 +/- counting down then eventually +/- < 0xf are you sure 25Hz is still supported on the ExpressLRS side? IIRC, when I was sending you feedback about `ELRS.bas`, selecting 25Hz on ELRS 2.4GHz module would unceremoniously switch to 50Hz -- I think you dropped the 25Hz option for 2.4...

MikeB wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 9:17 pmOK, I'm happy with that. Within 10uS or so of zero is good enough, particularly when ELRS is giving 400uS "headroom", and the drift of at least 6uS every 200mS.

cool does this mean "CRSFshot" mixer sync is fully implemented now?

I've posted a new test version that should do the same as the one that worked, but with some extra code that didn't actuall add anything removed. even better! now both 500Hz and 250Hz offset is mostly in the single digits with occasionally going above 0x10 and sometimes dipping below FFFFFFFF still...

Mike, I tested both of them. the first one was ranging between 0x1F and FFFFFFFX not sure what the last digit was.. but it never went above 0x1F at 500Hz or 250Hz the second build, with 250Hz selected, at first looked like it was scanning up and down much too fast to read anything.. into 3 digits th...

Mike, your latest build makes no difference that I can see with a naked eye.. tested at both 500Hz and 250Hz, the offset still fluctuates in the same range of 0x50 to 0x6F here's what one of the ELRS devs had to say when I mentioned your last message in Discord: xo on the tx module should be 10ppm. ...

yds: From previous information, I think the crystals on your Tx and module differ a bit, so they don't agree what 500Hz actually is, resulting in the offset changing every 0.2 seconds, the rate at which the module sends the data. that makes sense.. offset seems to fluctuate within the same range of...

Mike, the latest build behaves exactly the same on the X9E -- all the PktRates lock in at the expected ratio.. offset ranges between 5X and 6X -- I saw it pause at 61 a few times, 62 and 63 as well, but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to when the pause occurs and most of the time the last digit...

Another test version posted. I probably had a boundary condition where, at 500Hz, I timed out receiving the rate and offset data, so reverted to 250Hz for sending one packet. This could explain losing 2 or 3 packets every second. I'm not sure why changing to 50Hz should lose the connection. Mike, t...

OK, now with 500Hz selected 0:497 0:498 fluctuates same as before.. however, now the offset field seems to fluctuate too fast to read between 0000005X and 0000006X -- no more runaway counting all the way to rollover.. with 250Hz selected the bad:good ratio is now locked in at 0:250, offset fluctuate...

Mike, Flashed today's X9E_ROM.bin -- quickest way I found to flash is to plug in USB to an unpowered radio and dfu-util.exe -a 0 --dfuse-address 0x08000000 --device 0483:df11 -D X9E_ROM.bin that takes care of flashing the bootloader and the firmware in one go.. :ugeek: now when I select 250Hz every ...

8-) Thx Mike! one of the only reasons I moved from ErSkyTX back to OpenTX was those special ExpressLRS-OpenTX test builds with mixer sync baked in. now it looks like every TX OS is getting released with "CRSFshot" mixer sync :ugeek: good times! :metal: I'm keeping ErSkyTX on the X9E -- nic...

That may just be because it is not synchronized. What is happening to the offset value in the debug menu? Mike, at 500Hz the offset value counts up very fast until it rolls over and starts counting up again. at 250Hz the offset value looks like it's counting up just as fast as at 500Hz. only the fi...

New test version posted. It looks like I was overwriting the packet being sent with the next one before it was all sent. Mike, new test version is stable upto 250Hz, same as before. and looks like you almost got 500Hz working at full tilt. 8-) at 500Hz I get a steady fluctuation between 0:497 and 0...
