New FrSkyX protocol

Test '61e'
Unfortunately after the flash Devo keeps restarting, there is no logo on the screen, just sound and blinking. I wonder what it can be.. Thanks for searching hexfet!

I tested flying on 739 build in my home, everything works fine.

Progress! You're both seeing the same symptom. I did fix the same mistake I've made on 7e before (no static initialization), but there's still an issue.

Would you please make the following test:
1) Power-up in USB mode to access the filesystem
2) If there is a file "errors.txt" please copy and post here
3) Edit the tx.ini file and change current_model to a model number that is not FrskyX or Frsky protocol
4) Exit from USB mode (safely remove the drive first if on Windows)
5) Power-up the 7e normally and report if it starts up correctly
6) If it does start up, go to model setup and select protocol FrskyX
7) If step 5 or 6 causes failure, again power-up in USB mode and copy the errors.txt file

Thanks!

Hello,
Test , latest 7e

Yes it Boot normal with an other Model selected ( non FrskyX )
Error one.txt is the old File
Error.txt is the latest, new generated File ( after a working boot and selecting FrskyX again with look up again )

greetings Alex

Thanks! That was helpful. Think I just missed one initialization.

frskyx3 test build is updated - 75d.

Hello

I olso did a test with the 61e build.
I got the same results as Alexandro.
I do not know if you need another error.txt file, but i included it anyway

Tom

Thanks! It confirms the same error.

I just tested the latest test build 75de on the 7e.
12 channels work good.
got rssi and rx voltage.
No info from the lipo sensor.

Nice.

Awesome Apologies testers for the detour. It was painful enough I should remember next time, but I think I said that last time.

I've cleaned up a few things and uploaded a new test build - 1e3. Please test on the 7e and other txs. Testing of Frsky and DSM2/X telemetry is also needed. All were affected by the HAS_EXTENDED_TELEMETRY changes. Also welcome feedback on the changeset .

Only rx telemetry is supported on the 7e. Not enough memory for the stream decoding. The 7e will only have rx telemetry in Frsky as well.

Edit: One more test request please. The 7e build here has a change to help prevent the detour in the future. If it doesn't work it should fail right away (no boot). If it does work it has the same features as the test build. Not going to pursue this since reported not working.

Hello ! I'm glad you've found the problem !

Test report : version '1e3'. With x4r-sb , devo 7e , sp-r-f3 .

Solid green light - bind, Working channels up to 10, no lags. 11 and 12 channel dosen't work for me.

Do you want me to test older versions or is the problem solved ?

I just tested version from your special request:
The TX keeps working.
The RX seems to bind but i got a flickering green light and no movements on the servo's. (any channel).

going to install the Frskyx3 test build now.

Tested the latest frskyx3 test build. with 7e, 10 and 8s.
Everything works fine, on all 12 channels.

Great work.

Did you install the protocol_frskyx3 test build, or the zip from the google drive link?

Tom reported all 12 channels working with the protocol_frskyx3 build so would like to hear from a few others.

Hello,
Text Ver.1e3 on Devo 7e

PWM 1-8 : OK
SBUS 1-12 : OK
Volt1 : OK
RSSI: OK

all good !

Thank You hexfet for the hard Work to get the 7e to FrskyX !

testing 8s later and report.
greetings Alex

Hexfet, I've just made the switch to FrSky (and bought an X9E tray taranis which is what prompted the change) and since I don't have to rely on my devo's on more I'm more than happy to start testing this for you. Can you tell me what exact CC2500 module would be the best? The blue one for banggood I assume? Is there a US source (from ebay or anywhere) I could get it sooner?

I only have X series receivers so far so this is very exciting to be able to keep all 3 of my tx's(10, 7E and X9E) compatible with all my models (plus use wireless trainer function from each tx to each other tx)

Hello,
Test Ver. 1e3 Devo 8s

PWM 1-8 :OK
Sbus 1-12 : OK
RSSI: Ok
Volt 1: OK

looks good !

Doing Telemetry Test tomorrow ( Amp,High,Vario,mah used )

greetings Alex

Don't have any knowledge to make a recommendation. The blue one seems to have a good track record.

Thanks! Working on a manual update and pull request

Working on the notes for the PR it seems we haven't covered the AD2GAIN setting. It should be applied to the AIN input on the X4R receivers, but I'm not sure where that value is reported. Does anyone have an X4R using AIN input and can report where that value appears in the telemetry display?

Hello,
the AIN comes up on Volt3. (Devo 8s with latest Test Build )

On Shorting it goes to 0 Volt
On open it goes to 2.20
On 3 Volt it goes to 2.45

EDIT:
Telemetry Test. (Devo 8s )
Amps : OK
Discharge : OK
Alt: OK
Vspd Vario (climb and dive ) : OK
