OpenLRS - thUndead's MODs :D

hmm in that case seems that pin 9 shoul dbe the RSSI out. Try the rssi test in micro mode (holding button on TX before turning on )

Just looked at the code again and I looked at the v1 section of code and not the v2 section of code.

Code Select Expand


#define RSSI_OUT 10 //Servo7 or RSSI


I know you're probably flat out trying to get whatever it is you're doing published for tonight, but why is did you use Servo7 for the v2 hardware and Servo9 for the v1 hardware?

[thundead]

I didn't , Melih used it this way. No idea why.

Retested the RSSI mod on my v1 hardware just now and works ok. Try ch7 and see if you get the rssi.

Right, here is a little something showing rssi and FS and my Faraday Cage haha.

ThUndeadMods Olrs test
I refixed the RSSI and is nice and stable now.

I'm off to a Range test and after that I'll post my beast  \0/

PS my voice sounds just awful :)))

New FW up for grabs :D Check first post :D Omlet time for me :)

FHSS FTW :) Just a few more months, then its MINE :D

[SouthPawPaul]

OK. I've done a quick flash of the new FW and I've rechecked the RSSI.

Despite what the firmware says, I only get RSSI type voltage on Servo9, I've checked all the other servo pins and they have signal type voltage on them so I think I'm on the right pin.

This video shows my result. The quality is lower than I'd hoped when I show the RSSI voltage and the serial monitor, you can just make it out. If you can't, I'll upload a better quality version.

OpenLRS thundead RSSI test

[thundead]

hmm it shouldnt oscillate that much. can you show me a dump of your serial RSSI values and your settings in config.h ? I'll recheck the thing again just in case. Cheers.

update: rechecked and its working fine. do this:

in config.h, incerase RSSI_SMOOTH to 100, reflash and check the RSSI value (the first one) when you get a max value for that, change your MAX_RSSI in config.h and recheck voltage :)

I have changed the Unique Seed to 72

that's all I've changed (apart from HW board type and RSSI debug compiler directive)

I noticed that the voltage is more stable when RSSI debug is not turned on.

Ive updated the previous post at the same time you replied haha:

^^^^^^ thats how to calibrate your RSSI out :)

[thundead]

from the prntscreen: your peak rssi value seems to be 112 so go to config.h and change MAX_RSSI to 112

BUT FIRST, change RSSI_SMOOTH to 100, reflash and recheck your peak value and adjust accordingly.

Lemme know how it went :D

That is much more stable.

My RSSI voltage only fluctuates now by +/- .05v

Why is my RSSI voltage that much lower than that which you showed in your video ?

[thundead]

Hmmm not a clue. in theory, it should go up to 3 v . Try adding a reistor on the signal line (1-2k) and see if that helps.

I will get a v2 board eventually :)

[thundead]

Hmmm if you want to use 9 ch you will have to disable rssi. what you could actually do is enable serial ppm if your gear supports it. think we are limited to 8ch plus rssi for now. ill look into it but its not a priority

good luck with the lrs and looking fw to your results :)
