BF wont detect stick input MOBULA 8 and radiomaster zorro

[dense ibex]

idk why

[stoic shoal]

Based on the extensive info provided, I have come to the conclusion that I have no fucking clue, and neither will anyone else.

[dense ibex]

damn

so i dont use any UART?

[rapid epoch]

can you post a pic of the board?

[dense ibex]

i just screwed it back together but it doesnt use like wires

it has a copper wire sticking out of it]

i can unscrew if you need more details

[rapid epoch]

wait BF doesn't detect stick input, from a radio then?

[dense ibex]

yeah

its binded but it just doesnt detect stick input

[stoic shoal]

I'm kinda pulling your leg here.
You need to provide all the info we could need. Like, what are we even talking about? Show some pictures etc

[dense ibex]

ok

let me get some

i need to unscrew

[rapid epoch]

figuring that out now lmao

so unclear

[rapid epoch]

how do you know its binded?

[dense ibex]

setup is radio master zorro and mobuls 8

[dense ibex]

cus when i power the quad off it says "model still powered" on the orro

zorro

[rapid epoch]

put it in the title maybe

[dense ibex]

ok

BF wont detect stick input MOBULA 8 and radiomaster zorro

[rapid epoch]

how did you buy it? both quad and radio seperate and did you bind it yourself or...?

[dense ibex]

binded it myself

[rapid epoch]

any guide you followed to bind it?

[dense ibex]

yeah i did

i just did it over wifi but one thing i accidentally deleted a "luac" file from the zorro someone said i can get it back but never responded ot my how

[rapid epoch]

this doesn't seem to be good @stoic shoal

[stoic shoal]

okay lets start from scratch

Have you touched betaflight in any way? Like, tried to update it etc

[dense ibex]

no

[stoic shoal]

so you only fiddled with the uarts?

[dense ibex]

yeah

[stoic shoal]

alright, then lets figure out which version of betaflight is on it

[stoic shoal]

i dont have a flight controller on my desk but im sure you can figure it out

its in betaflight, not on the drone

[rapid epoch]

I would recommend you to put in your title that you deleted the lua C script

[stoic shoal]

it's fine we'll get that sorted too

[dense ibex]

yeah but i was getting pics of the board

how do i find the version

[rapid epoch]

open BF top

[rapid epoch]

or wait no

[stoic shoal]

this one maybe

[rapid epoch]

(middle)

[dense ibex]

ok i gotta screw it back together first

[stoic shoal]

all good

[dense ibex]

its 4.4.2

[stoic shoal]

great

im looking up which uart it is

[dense ibex]

ok thanks

this is my settings rn

[stoic shoal]

you didnt make it easier for yourself (read, me) to get this sorted by flipping all the UARTs on and off

[dense ibex]

💀

now the radio wont connect wtffff

[stoic shoal]

calm down

turn MSP on for UART1

[dense ibex]

ok

[stoic shoal]

turn serial rx on for UART2

[dense ibex]

ok

[stoic shoal]

send a screenshot of the "receiver" tab in betaflight

[rapid epoch]

Brutus will handle this calmy and proffesionally

[stoic shoal]

good, but might as well turn on telemetry while you're there

[dense ibex]

ok

[stoic shoal]

save and reboot

[dense ibex]

ok

done

[stoic shoal]

your zorro is ELRS, yes?

[dense ibex]

ye

[stoic shoal]

alright, let me find the lua for you again

[dense ibex]

i have the lua but it was called "luac"

this is the lua i have in there rn

[stoic shoal]

oh thats fine

[dense ibex]

ok

[stoic shoal]

i wonder what that luac is supposed to be doing tho

maybe we'll find out

[dense ibex]

lmao yeah

[stoic shoal]

wait nvm i think i can find that too

[rapid epoch]

[dense ibex]

ok

i got the radio connected now

[stoic shoal]

stop doing things

[dense ibex]

ok

[stoic shoal]

or at the very least tell me what you are doing

[dense ibex]

i just turned off the radio and turned it on

[stoic shoal]

okay, and then what happened

wdym connected?

[dense ibex]

then it connected to my quad

like before it wasnt connected so we couldnt test stick inputs after the uart changes

but now its connected

[stoic shoal]

alright, so, all fixed?

[dense ibex]

but still no stick inputs 😦

[stoic shoal]

alright

take a picture of the "inputs" and "mixer" screens on your zorro

[dense ibex]

how do i get to taht

is it the one with the bars

and the 2 boxes

[stoic shoal]

you click the system or model button

and then page over

[dense ibex]

ok

[stoic shoal]

guess we're good there too

[stoic shoal]

open the elrs lua script and take a picture of that

[dense ibex]

ok

in the zorro?

[stoic shoal]

yes

[dense ibex]

um how

i did system and then went to elrs

its not there

[stoic shoal]

system -> tools -> scripts -> elrsv3lua or what the fuck its called

i think

[dense ibex]

there is no scripts tool

[rapid epoch]

show what you see in tools

[stoic shoal]

whats above those

[dense ibex]

Betaflight CMS
Betaflight setup
DSM FwdPrg

[stoic shoal]

tried this one?

[dense ibex]

yeah but there is no scripts section

[stoic shoal]

im going off memory here, there's a chance i got that wrong

doesnt really matter as long as you find the lua

[dense ibex]

i cant seem to

wait

is it supposed to be in scripts

in this folder

[stoic shoal]

thats where i got it from

you put the file in tools -> scripts

[dense ibex]

ok

[stoic shoal]

scripts -> tools i guess

[dense ibex]

idk why it isnt in there lol

i dragged it in there

[stoic shoal]

good stuff

[dense ibex]

so now power off the radio?

[stoic shoal]

sure i guess

[dense ibex]

does it need to be its own folder

[stoic shoal]

it needs to be in the tools folder

[dense ibex]

its in there but i dont see it in the radio

and its still not working 😦

[stoic shoal]

you put the lua in tools, but it is not in tools?

[dense ibex]

yeah

[stoic shoal]

hm, it's getting late and my brain has kinda went to bed already, can't really think of why that would be.

[dense ibex]

maybe there is a limit of 10?

[stoic shoal]

no clue

[dense ibex]

well ig ill just factory reset my zorro

how can i do that

[stoic shoal]

thats probably not a good thing to do

[dense ibex]

why

[stoic shoal]

if you dont know why, then dont

[dense ibex]

ok

[stoic shoal]

in general in fpv, dont do stuff if you dont know what/why will happen

[dense ibex]

ok

[stoic shoal]

like the uarts switch flicking

[dense ibex]

im still not sure on how i can just like soft reset my zorro

bc it was binded to another drone before

but that shouldnt be a problem

[stoic shoal]

im still not sure why you think you need to do that?
but as i said, its getting late here and im heading to bed, lets hope someone else pops in and finish what we started :)

[dense ibex]

ok

thx for the help

[stoic shoal]

good luck 🤞

[dense ibex]

still nothibg 🤣

its fixed!!!

[rapid epoch]

How?

[dense ibex]

no clue

[rapid epoch]

even better

[dense ibex]

lol but i broke the quad on accident

the o3 cable which came pre installed in the fc just wasnt going in the port i accidentally pushed too hard and it broke it off

[valid trench]
