XJT A1 beeping warning setting
Hello everyone. Yesterday I discovered that XJT has a warning beeping if recieved A1 is lower than some threshold, XJT will start annoyingly beeping. https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/issues/7297 There's a FrSky xSSI menu in radio settings which as far as i understood changes default beeping thresholds for RSSI and TSSI values if set. Is it possible to add a setting for A1 beeping threshold?

What version oh Ersky9x are you using?

Re: XJT A1 beeping warning setting
I think those thresholds are only valid for the DJT and DHT modules..vodkabears wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 8:14 am There's a FrSky xSSI menu in radio settings which as far as i understood changes default beeping thresholds for RSSI and TSSI values if set

Re: XJT A1 beeping warning setting
Do you have eepskye on your PC? If so, you could try the following:
Set the XJT into "D" mode using the DIP switches.
Make up a cable to connect a serial port (USB adapter type?) from the PC to the non-Sport telemetry connector on the XJT.
Connect the serial port to the connector and power the XJT on (in the radio is OK).
Run eepskye, select the "Telemetry" menu, then select the "Module" tab. At the bottom right are option to read and set alarm levels. These all work for the DJT module and I thought they did work, or at least some of them, on the XJT module.

Re: XJT A1 beeping warning setting
I just tested this and was able to change the alarm setting in the XJT for A1 from eepskye (I didn't try the others).

Re: XJT A1 beeping warning setting
I couldn't get anything from the module with any state of dip switches powered from either radio or uart adapter 5v. The serial link is working, on the "Screen" tab one of the counters below the "screen" increments when the bound model is on and doesn't when it's off.
P.S. Do I do everything right? I run eePe, open Telemetry -> Telemetry.

Re: XJT A1 beeping warning setting
Yes, open Telemetry->Telemetry, then select the Module tab.
Click the "Start" button, then the "Read Alarms" button. When I did this, nothing appeared to happen as everything was already disabled. To test it was working, I set the A1 value to 6, clicked the "Set Alarms" button, then set the A1 value back to 0 and clicked the "Read Alarms" button, the A1 value went to 6, showing a new value had been written and read back. I then set the A1 value back to 0 and clicked the "Set Alarms" button to put the value to 0 in the module.
It is possible there is an alarm for the RxV value. This is actually different from the A1 value, although the main radio firmware does map RxV to A1 unless there is a real A1 value appearing.

Re: XJT A1 beeping warning setting
Is this setting stored when the module is unpowered? Does this work only for D8 mode? My setup beeps only in D16 mode. Expreimenting with Betaflight Frsky SPI code I found out that it beeps only in D16 mode, when A1 is below 72 out of 255 or 3.7v with 13.3V scaling setting. Is it possible to solve the beeping problem on the TX side? I solved it on the RX side but i don't know when (if) it will be in some release.

Re: XJT A1 beeping warning setting
Those settings are stored in EEPROM.
I just tested my XJT using a bench power supply for a X8R receiver. As soon as the supply for the Rx dropped below about 3.7V the XJT started beeping. We probably need to ask FrSky if there is a way to disable it. Internal modules don't have a beeper so don't show the feature!

Re: XJT A1 beeping warning setting
Sorry for necro-posting. If there's anybody wondering, the new Betaflight release (4.0) has a fix for this problem. Set frsky_spi_a1_source = CONST and A1 will _always_ be 100 or "5v". This mainly applies for "tiny whoop class" 1S brushed quadcopters for which VBat < 3.7v is a normal operation mode. Never power any genuine frsky hardware with less than 3.7v.
