Ersky9x X7 won't initialize module on power up

Post by interestingfellow »

TLDR:
When I power the radio on, the module does not initialize
If the radio is on, and I change to a model that uses the ext module, it will initialize.
I have found a solution, but want to know what was the issue.

Expansion:
I recently added and modified some models in my X7 (running ERSKy9x 221) and a new problem arose: the exterior module wouldn't initialize on power up (as it was supposed to). I have to change away from the current model to another model (that also uses the ext module) in order for the module to initialize (and then switch back to the model I want to use).

I just used a previously saved good eep, copied over the models I needed from my current config (that has the problem) one at a time, powering on the radio making sure the ext module initializes properly.

I now have a properly working X7 but am wrought with curiosity as to what was causing the issue.
I have attached the old problematic eep as well as my current config, for your reference.

At some point I changed the internal storage method for the module configuration. There is code in place to detect older settings and transfer them to the new method. It may well be that something didn't work correctly doing that originally, but with the procedure you went through, these got transferred correctly.

Cool!

I just wanted the confidence of knowing my radio was operating as intended.

Thanks, again, Mike!!!!

Hey, Mike!
It happens only with the 3D250 model.
the 450x and DFC250 will both initialize on power up if they are the active model but the 3D 250 will not initialize on power up.
Any idea?
I will manually transfer all the 3d250 settings over to a new model/new name and see if that "fixes" it.
