Binding issue with no error message | ExpressLRS Community | Page 1

Setup :

iFlight Nazgul Evoque F6 V2. 2.4 Ghz ERLS
iFlight Commando 8

The commando is on ELRS 3.2.0, with Lua script V3
The Nazgul is on 3.2.0
They both share the same passphrase but won't bind

Whenever I turn the quad on, the led slowly blinks in blue forever without changing rythm.

I'm really hoping that I missed a step but I can't find which.

I tried to flash both firmware back to 2.5.2 and back to 3.2.0, but still can't bind them with those 3 techniques :

bind button on both
triple powering on / off of the quad
same firmware & passphrase

All help welcome, thanks a lot ❤️

distant solar Does the Receiver go into wifi mode?

yes

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 3:07 PM

#

foggy thistle yes

put the receiver and tx module into wifi mode and post a screenshot of their Options Tab from the WebUI

Could you go into the ExpressLRS Lua Script and see whether there's a C in the top right corner when tx and rx are both ON/Powered up

how many characters does your binding phrase have?

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 3:53 PM

#

distant solar how many characters does your binding phrase have?

I tried one with 7
Another one with 6

#

Only letters

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 3:54 PM

#

foggy thistle Only letters

use at least 8 characters!

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:02 PM

why is it that "TX Power" doesn't show a setting?

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

distant solar why is it that "TX Power" doesn't show a setting?

Should I change it to 100mw? or something else?

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

foggy thistle Should I change it to 100mw? or something else?

the current setting should show up in the home screen of the lua script..

#

change it to something and see if that change would reflect on the home screen

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

changed it to 100mw and now it shows on the home screen, (when inside it shower "ermw" and I cannot go back to that value)

#

maybe an issue with the lua script?

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 4:09 PM

#

does it still show a errMW when you go back into the tx power page?

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

distant solar does it still show a errMW when you go back into the tx power page?

nope, it shows (100mW)

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

foggy thistle nope, it shows (100mW)

but it still doesn't connect with your receiver?

#

is the receiver now blinking fast though?

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

distant solar but it still doesn't connect with your receiver?

yes still doesn't connect

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

distant solar is the receiver now blinking fast though?

it's blinking slowly (blue)

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 4:13 PM

Reflash your tx module, possibly via USB

Silicon Labs

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

everything looks okay ? Also which silicon labs should I choose?

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

USB to UART

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

yes

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

I mean USB to UART Silicon Labs

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

yes building & flashing this one

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:43 PM

#

distant solar Reflash your tx module, possibly via USB

flashed, still the same

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 4:44 PM

foggy thistle flashed, still the same

do you have another receiver to test on?

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:44 PM

#

distant solar do you have another receiver to test on?

nope 😦

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 4:44 PM

#

foggy thistle nope 😦

no spares? or it's suppose to be a BNF?

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

distant solar no spares? or it's suppose to be a BNF?

it's supposed to be BNF haha

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

Can you post another set of your WebUI Options Tab please..

#

both still have the 8-character binding phrase?

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:48 PM

#

RX is still good

#

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 4:51 PM

#

can you check with tx and rx both in the ISM Domain please

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:51 PM

#

Error message popped up after a few minutes (had this once a while back, had to re download the lua script to fix it)

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

distant solar can you check with tx and rx both in the ISM Domain please

Okay, trying this

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

distant solar can you check with tx and rx both in the ISM Domain please

same result with the ism domain on both tx & rx

#

I got the syntax error again after a few minutes on wifi mode (TX)

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

foggy thistle same result with the ism domain on both tx & rx

consider filing for a return.

or test with another receiver.

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 5:15 PM

#

foggy thistle I got the syntax error again after a few minutes on wifi mode (TX)

I don't remember getting this on mine..

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 5:15 PM

distant solar I don't remember getting this on mine..

SCRIPT - TOOLS - should look like this ? (or do you keep elrsV2 lua script ?)

distant solar Mar 9, 2023, 5:16 PM

#

foggy thistle SCRIPT - TOOLS - should look like this ? (or do you keep elrsV2 lua script ?)

yes.. tools should look like this.. in the folder level..

you shouldn't keep v2 Lua script as it will result in confusion..

foggy thistle Mar 9, 2023, 5:17 PM

okay 😦 I was hoping this could be the problem

surreal rain Mar 11, 2023, 2:36 AM

#

The lua issues Could be related to jt enough space in internal memory of tx

#

I had this issue

#

And solved by removing as many other lua as i Could
