PB, can you change at main trunk next things?

        case 0x16: //GPS sensor (always second GPS packet)
            update = update16;
            Telemetry.gps.altitude = altitude + (bcd_to_u8(packet[3]) * 100
                                               + bcd_to_u8(packet[2])) * 100; //In meters * 1000 (16Bit decimal, 1 unit is 0.1m)

Current code sometimes doubles, triples altitude value if data type 0x17 GPS packet get lost.

Also, for() cycle doesn't work. It seems all values are writed to Telemetry.p.dsm.flog.fades[0].

        case 0x7f: //TM1000 Flight log
        case 0xff: //TM1100 Flight log
            update = update7f;
            //Telemetry.p.dsm.flog.fades[0] = pkt16_to_u8(packet+2); //FadesA 0xFFFF = (not connected)
            //Telemetry.p.dsm.flog.fades[1] = pkt16_to_u8(packet+4); //FadesB 0xFFFF = (not connected)
            //Telemetry.p.dsm.flog.fades[2] = pkt16_to_u8(packet+6); //FadesL 0xFFFF = (not connected)
            //Telemetry.p.dsm.flog.fades[3] = pkt16_to_u8(packet+8); //FadesR 0xFFFF = (not connected)
            //Telemetry.p.dsm.flog.frameloss = pkt16_to_u8(packet+10);
            //Telemetry.p.dsm.flog.holds = pkt16_to_u8(packet+12);
            for(int i = 2; i < 14; i+=2) {
                *(u8*)&Telemetry.p.dsm.flog = pkt16_to_u8(packet+i);
            }
            Telemetry.p.dsm.flog.volt[1] = pkt16_to_volt(packet+14);
            break;

Also, does this fix the fades issue:

            //Telemetry.p.dsm.flog.holds = pkt16_to_u8(packet+12);
            u8 *flog = (u8*)&Telemetry.p.dsm.flog;
            for(int i = 2; i < 14; i+=2) {
                *flog++ = pkt16_to_u8(packet+i);
            }
            Telemetry.p.dsm.flog.volt[1] = pkt16_to_volt(packet+14);
            break;

It works fine. After Tx power off and power on:
FadesA = 45
FadesB = 255 (always)
FadesL = 45
FadesR = 255 (always)
Loss = 0
Holds = 1

Once more:
FadesA = 89
FadesB = 255 (always)
FadesL = 89
FadesR = 255 (always)
Loss = 0
Holds = 2

You say it works fine, but having B and R be 255 always, and A and L being the same looks suspicious. I don't know anything about how fades display in DSM. Is this result typical? Would it help to enable debug and show the raw packet coming in?

It's normal when I restart Tx. Both Fades have to be changed equally. Fades = 255 (really 0xFFFF) for disabled receivers and satellites.

This issue is now fixed: "Telemetry alarms don't always re-alarm (sound)."

If you want to test it to make sure it's fixed, you can download latest from Test Builds.

vlad_vy, can you please check my test build, that FadesA & FadesL display correctly and that FadesB & FadesR are displayed as "not connected" (zero and inverted). I'm unable to test this myself, my model (NanoQX) seems to just transmit 0 for all fades.

And is Latitude and Longitude working?

Thanks

I've been thinking about how to restore support for GPS telemetry to DSM2/DSMX modules on Devo7e. The GPS data handling code will need to be made smaller than it currently is.

The GPS data is received in a format ready for display (degrees, minutes) and is then converted into a seconds value and later back into a different display format (degrees, minutes, seconds). Storing the value in seconds is not very useful. If I wanted to set telemetry alarms to alert me if I stray past a certain latitude or longitude, I'm not going to know the value "in seconds" to be able to set an alarm. However, if the coordinate values were to remain in their original format of degrees, minutes the comparison > <= operators would still work if I were to set alarm values in same data format.

Same goes for gps altitude, velocity and time. The only disadvantage would be not being able to choose the display format. So displayed formats would be fixed: Latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes; altitude in m, velocity in m/s, time in 24hr GMT.

What about split flies and cutlets? Do not parse telemetry inside cb() code, but write raw data to global buffer with two pointers (write and read pointers). Then inside telemetry display code read buffer from read pointer up to write pointer, parse values, average if needed, reset pointers and display values. If it possible.

I can't say that'll make me happy. Devo adn DSM and FrSky do not use the same format for telemetry. Converting to a common format makes the code more manageable and lets us use common functions everywhere. Storing GPS data differently for different protocols will likely add more code into the main body of deviation, and will certainly make adding new protocols more complicated.
I also don't think you'll save very much at the protocol level. there are likely better places to spend optimization effort. I'd start by looking at the disassembly for the dsm protocol and figure out which functions are largest.
Prove me wrong

Indigo, with latest build nothing changed. Latitude and Longitude have zero values.

Is GPS telemetry display code common for Devo and DSM?

Next code will correct problem with Latitude and Longitude:

            Telemetry.gps.latitude  =  pkt32_to_coord(&pkt[4]) * ((end_byte & 0x01)? 1: -1); //1=N(+), 0=S(-)
            Telemetry.gps.longitude = (pkt32_to_coord(&pkt[8]) + ((end_byte & 0x04)? 360000000: 0)) //1=+100 degrees
                                                                  * ((end_byte & 0x02)? 1: -1); //1=E(+), 0=W(-)

Thanks, I've added those brackets and also added brackets to this:

static int pkt32_to_coord(u8 *ptr)
 {
     // (decimal, format DD MM.MMMM)
     return bcd_to_int(ptr[3]) * 3600000
          + bcd_to_int(((u32)ptr[2] << 16) | ((u32)ptr[1] << 8) | ptr[0]) * 6;
 }

With both our changes it should now work. I've recompiled and re-uploaded a9e60ff to Test Builds. Thanks

DSM protocol GPS telemetry is OK. What is about Devo GPS Speed? Devo GPS Speed always invariable with red background. If reboot Tx, value changed, but remains invariable with red background.

Thank you, It's good to know that DSM Latitude and Longitude is now fixed.

The code for Devo GPS Speed is same as August nightly. I have no idea. Is Devo GPS Altitude working?
The reason I ask is because only GPS Speed & Altitude use the function Float_to_Int().

Me trying to fix Devo issues without the ability to test a verify myself before uploading (I have no Devo models) means many attempted fixes achieve nothing and wastes other peoples time. ~~Can you please fix GPS Speed?~~

Edit: I see the problem with, i will upload fix for GPS Speed soon.

Fixes Devo GPS Speed (I hope).

It's not value problem, it's update problem. Devo GPS Speed value is not updated. If reboot Tx, Speed has new value, but invariable with red background.
