No data showing on radio with R221

Post by rsilk49 »

After flashing r221, all telemetry values, including Tx, are zero. I can arm the pixhawk, so I assume I have radio contact.
Switching back to r220, everything is normal . . .

Update: it looks like the Protocol settings in the models are not migrated during the upgrade.

They are supposed to get migrated automatically when you load a model.

This is handled by the model data having a version number. This is displayed in r221 at the top of the Model Setup|General menu and is 4 for r221.

Did you simply flash the new firmware?
Please, if possible, detail exactly what settings don't appear to be migrated.

I just did a normal flash via the radio bootloader. All models show v4.
The External menu value was showing "PPM". I had to manually edit this to XJT on 2 models to get running.
I wonder if this was due to me doing some testing of beta releases a few months back and switching back & forth between firmware versions.

Yes it may well be due to flashing a test version and then reverting. The test version will very likely have changed the model version to 4 before I did the change to the protocol storage.
