Goes without saying :))

[thundead]

so here it is: thUndeadMod 4.0 ALPHA

- 4800 baud
- smart packet management for max range
- one click failsafe as in my previous firmwares
- SerialPPM on pin 9 (please someone check and confirm working)
- Added sample Config program which is atm only a sketch but you''ll see what sort of stuff 4.0 will offer.

who wants to test and report back drop me a PM so I can give u the password :)

Mihai.

anyone manage to test this yet ?

I'm away on holiday for a week Mihai and then I start packing my workshop & house as I am moving in the very near future, so likely won't have much time for playing for some months as the 'new' place needs some TLC.

Cheers,

Nigel.

Not yet, havent flown in 4 weeks mate, must get a flight in first before testing time

[thundead]

keep in mind its a new protocol so I'd do a ground range test first before flying.

Ok here's the news on V4, I did a ground test this morning using the exact same setup as I used for the previous range test in the same location and well the results where disappointing to say the least! absolutely terrible performance.

But I re-flashed back to v3.6 FW and took my skywalker on an epic flight!  I did 5.1km and back at over 1km altitude.   After speaking with Mihai on the phone he asked me to share this with the forum so everyone knows where things are. As it stands there are still changes happening, but I will let Mihai tell everyone what is happening.  But v3.6 is the FW to use, if you get bad performance then you are doing something wrong....

[thundead]

thanks very much to papa for testing out the fw. quite a record as well :D

Right so this is where the fw stands and it's going to be my last fw for this system.

- based on 3.6 final
- Will redo the GUI to be noob proof
- will add link quality rssi mode
- hopping will be limited to max 6 channels

Any other requests now is the time.

Cheers,
Mihai.
