I confirm I found (and fixed) what was fishy in A7105_ReadReg()

Actually this is plenty, this is even too much at times :), it lasts more than 20 cycles because the nop instruction is in a for loop (unless you tell the compiler to unroll loops, but I think that's not the case).

for(i = 0; i < 20; i++)  //Wait > 1 SPI clock (but less than 8).  clock is 4.5MHz
    asm volatile ("nop");

Change 20 to 10 and the problem is gone...
This also explains why the Hubsan4 protocol wouldn't bind sometimes.

Time to cleanup my code and create a pull request with working telemetry :)

edit: oh of course I need 1 or 2 testers to check if everything is fine before I create a pull request.

YOU KNOW WHAT ????

I found the H107L has voltage telemetry too !!!
I guess probably every Hubsan products has telemtry !

I'll have to dump the frames because it looks like there are not only telemetry frames received but other packets in which packet[13] is not the voltage value.

Great great ;) very good news :)

And what about the RSSI ? :)

We could read the Hubsan to TX RSSI but I think that would not be relevant.

Actually I only had to check for packets integrity (crc), no more fancy values :)

Well, that isn't good. The problem is that I have no control of the compiler, so it could vary from compiler to compiler. the only safe thing to do is to put the entire sequence into assembly to guarantee consistency on all compiler versions.

OK, I'll look at the required number of nop() instructions and remove this for loop, so it's fixed for every compilers.

I didn't count the precise number of required nop, but:

// Wait > 1 SPI clock (but less than 8).  clock is 4.5MHz
asm volatile ("nop\n\tnop\n\tnop\n\tnop\n\tnop\n\t"
              "nop\n\tnop\n\tnop\n\tnop\n\tnop\n\t"
              "nop\n\tnop\n\tnop\n\tnop\n\tnop\n\t"
              "nop\n\tnop\n\tnop\n\tnop\n\tnop");

does the trick.

Here are test versions, telemetry should work at least with H107L & H107D, no idea for other models, but this shouldn't break anything anyway.

Not working for the H102D but it was at 99% normal coz I guess the voltage monitoring was not implemented. More, it's using a 2S LiPo ....

yup, probably it doesn't have telemetry.

2S isn't a problem, 25.5V max. can be reported, should even work with 6S (25.2V when full) ;)

Anyway, it was at least binding without any problem. What's a pity you don't have a H107C ... to also include the record button ...

Are you sure video recording can be enabled with a radio button on the H107C ?
I thought it was only a button on the quad ?

It works with Devo8 and H107C, but background always red (Telemetry monitor), on Main page the telemetry box also is always red and value not changed. Something wrong with telemetry update function.

With H107 it also works, but value very frequently alternate between 0.2V and 3.8V.

Probably you are right... I don't own a H107C ...
So only H101, H102, H201, H202, and all fpv planes with former TX can do that...

Thanks for reporting, that's probably because I never call TELEMETRY_SetUpdated() :blush: just saw it in devo.c telemetry code.
This is the first time I have a machine with telemetry, I didn't know if it was normal or not that it has a black background on the voltage value (Devo 10).

No idea why it alternates between 0.2V and 3.8V on the H107, I don't have this issue with the H107L, will have to wait for more reports.

I think that for H107 only one from two telemetry frames has the real voltage.

Yup, I check if the packet is beginning with 0xe0 or 0xe1, maybe I should check only one.

Can you try this one please ?
(extracts 0xe0 packets only + telemetry update fixed)
