Dismissing safety warning after tx reboot

...continued discussion from RCGroups thread :

PB, just an idea: Shouldn't you dismiss the safety warning in case of improper previous shutdown (i.e. reboot)?

I've already got a "possible" reboot report with v2.1, detected only by the startup tune of the idle tx...


PhracturedBlue wrote: This isn't the place to discuss it, but properly recovering on a watchdog reboot is very hard. It requires a lot more than just not showing the safety dialog. Even if you can detect the reboot was caused by the watchdog, you don't have access to the original RNG value or timers, so your channel selection and ID may not be the same.

Also, bugs should be reported so that I can try to fix them :)

Enough about Deviation though. There are better places for these discussions.


Roger that! ;)
So we can continue here...

I understand, that some protocols cannot continue after a tx reboot, for example if one always chooses different free channels to transmit.
However as we see in the case of the DSMX, the channel hopping sequence is based only on the manufacturing ID, so it will use the same sequence again, and the rx tries to get back on track too...

If at Tx starts with any channel/stick (aileron, elevator or rudder) out of center more then 5% (along with high throttle), with high probability it's not normal boot.
