Flysky AFHDS 2A, protocol as used i10, i6, iT4,

i saw firmware ia6b posted page 3, so what is feature new update ?

Yes I have got an ST limk laying around, never used it yet though.
Need it for my ultimate 7e.

I also think ia6 and Ia10 could be the same possibly just 4 outputs pins not connected to header for ia6.

I'm now using a hacked 10ch FW on my FS-I6 , could it be possible to upgrade my RX via this FW?

@goebish

Is it possible to upgrade my IA6B RX FW via ST-Link ?
How can I check my IA6B RX FW version?
Thanks.

With the Eachine EB185, there is this FlySky RX....

Maybe it can be upgraded to support RSSI telemetry ?

@SeByDocKy

Eachine EB185 ? Does it support any Telemetry to TX? I guess no, can´t see any in the product movie for the Eachine Falcon 180 FPV? There is telemetry by FPV / OSM.....

So this could be any thing like the "Monstertronic Invader" (likewise BigSharkfly X8, flying3D X8 asf). This copters do use direct data exchange between FC and RX. Can´t say witch kind of protocol / communication type....

Only I know - for the Monsteronic Invader, there is an transfer for the GPS data, wich is displayed in the "looks like" FS-i6 TX (called MT-i6).
For Sharkfly, the "look like i6"- TX is called TY-Q7.
Got it: Your TX is called Eachine i6...........
Other RTF copters do use "Quanum TX - without any display, so without telemetry................so the list of differnet Flysky AFHDS 2A protocols becomes longer and longer............

I guess, this different RX and TX are using different kind of FW. So this is hard to verify. I tested the MT-i6 from Monstertronic. And it will bind to the Turngiy AFHDS 2A (iA6, iA6B, and iA10).BUT: The TGY-sensor are NOT displayed, when binded on an Turnigy RX................. Thats all i know.

Does anyone knows more about? - The GPS option would be nice. In the manual for Turnigy i10 was written about Telemetry for GPS, barometric pressure - and you will find out, they telling us, there are already ESC´s wich provides telemetry - BUT: can´t find any........... - Also the HK support was asked by me - there are only the well known sensors (temp, voltage, rpm.....).

At the end of the day I would recommend, to take care for the main telemetry first, before mixing with the OEM´s asf........... Flysky, Turnigy, Carson gives more than enough differences to work on..........

PERHAPS, your RX will bind, cause it´s AFHDS 2A, but transmitting the telemetry data, using s.bus, ibus and all the other options like update by air..................???.

@goebish
My Ultimate 7E is back, install c5dd9fc test build, I can get RX voltage from telemetry page, but I found 2 bugs.
1, If I go into protocol option page, then I can't exit model setup page anymore, just turn power off, it could be reproduced.
2, I change setting of timer1(BOX2) to telemetry V1 and timer2(BOX3) to telemetry RSSI , but it seems can't save it to TX properly , every time I reboot my TX, the setting always being changed , V1 or RSSI will disapeared sometime, would you please take a look?

@Evil Pusher
I tried to update my IA6B but it failed.
I pressed update button when I bind IA6B to my FS-I6 TX, nothing happened.
I tried to press update button then I powered RX, it will not bind to TX.

@dc59

- sounds bad.

Please, let us know what you did more detailed.
- You´re using an TX i6 (patched 10 ch firmware) - right?
- Did you tried to do the update by ST-Link, when TX was switched on? So perhaps the communication was wrong, cause the RX iA6B was blocked by this communication - this is just an assumption
- what will happen, if you downgrade your i6 TX to "default" firmware?

Sorry, I can´t test this, cause my ST-Link is still on the way to my house, I do not have an i6 Tx and my last iA6B receiver is right now on the way to goebish.

Let us know.

Greetings.

Thanks Goebish, I didn't check bug tracker first........

Yes, that's correct.

I have ST-Link USB , but I don't know to update firmware by ST-Link, and where can I download v1.6 FW?

- what will happen, if you downgrade your i6 TX to "default" firmware?
I will report result after testing.

Thanks !
