what firmware version is flashed into the Zorro?

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:33 AM

2.8.0

spark sluice May 21, 2023, 7:33 AM

what EXPRESSLRS firmware version is flashed into the Zorro internal module?

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:34 AM

dry badger 3.2.1

what baudrate do you have set for the internal ELRS module?

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:35 AM

let me check

#

where should i look for it

#

i cant find it on radio

spark sluice May 21, 2023, 7:39 AM

System Menu -> Hardware

#

internal RF type and baudrate are next to each other

set it to 5.25M and see whether the lua script will react much faster

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:40 AM

#

I will try.

#

Now when I go to tools and go to expressLRS it enters but nothing shows up on the screen it just says loading

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:44 AM

#

it is just like that

spark sluice May 21, 2023, 7:44 AM

#

is external set to Off like in the photo?

#

you DO have an internal ELRS module, yes?

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:45 AM

#

i have internal yes and external is off

spark sluice May 21, 2023, 7:46 AM

#

dry badger i have internal yes and external is off

odd, lua script isn't loading with 5.25M on yours

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:46 AM

#

wait now it works when i changed in hardwer in setup everything turned off

spark sluice May 21, 2023, 7:46 AM

#

can you explain that last bit or post photos please

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:48 AM

#

spark sluice set it to 5.25M and see whether the lua script will react much faster

when u told me to do this

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:48 AM

#

spark sluice System Menu -> Hardware

here

#

i did that and later on i checked if everything is alright in mdl>setup inetrnal rf was off

spark sluice May 21, 2023, 7:50 AM

#

dry badger i did that and later on i checked if everything is alright in mdl>setup inetrnal...

which is the reason Lua Script will not load.. which is why I asked if you're in the correct model

#

so with 5.25M baud rate, lua script loading with the correct model setup?

#

does [BIND] still locks up?

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:50 AM

#

spark sluice does [BIND] still locks up?

yes

spark sluice May 21, 2023, 7:51 AM

#

it should briefly popup, then after a few second, disappear

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:52 AM

#

i had to change FC in my quad and i went to update edgetx firmware and ELRS firmware too

spark sluice May 21, 2023, 7:53 AM

#

I can't see the connection.. pun intended

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:55 AM

#

before i was on 2.8.0 binded with 4.3.0 betaflight firmware

spark sluice May 21, 2023, 7:55 AM

#

you're not using a binding phrase?

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:55 AM

no

dry badger May 21, 2023, 7:56 AM

#

why?

spark sluice May 21, 2023, 7:58 AM

#

dry badger why?

why? that's the best way to "bind"/sync devices together!

#

my zorro is on 3.2.1 ExpressLRS, EdgeTX 2.8.3, and aren't experiencing "hiccups" on the [Bind] lua item

#

my sd card is not the factory sd card, not so sure whether that's a factor..

dry badger May 21, 2023, 8:04 AM

#

can i put in sd card with more storage

#

i have to copy everything on it and it should work right

spark sluice May 21, 2023, 8:06 AM

#

turn off radio
take out sd card from radio
copy contents of sd card to computer
take another sd card, copy the backup from the computer to the new sd card
take new sd card and put it on radio
turn on radio..
all settings, including models are preserved.. if none of those files got corrupted

dry badger May 21, 2023, 8:12 AM

i have to go will u be here later on today

and cant change telem radio from 1:4

spark sluice May 23, 2023, 12:56 AM

dry badger hi i tried to change tx power but it wont let me it always goes back to 10mW

does it say CE Limit in the TX Power section of the Lua Script?

#

have you already tried reflashing the firmware?

using the web flasher (https://pkendall64.github.io/elrs-web-flasher/)
reflash via ETX Passthrough
on step 3, connect to the correct COM port, click the Erase Flash First, then click flash

dry badger May 25, 2023, 1:50 PM

it has to be connected to storage?

spark sluice May 25, 2023, 1:52 PM

you've not changed models?

after flashing i did nothing else on radio

dry badger after flashing i did nothing else on radio

it has succeeded, right, with "Erase Flash First" option?

dry badger May 25, 2023, 1:59 PM

can you take screenshot of the model menu -> model setup, internal rf settings please..

also the Internal RF Type and baud rate from system menu -> hardware page

spark sluice May 25, 2023, 2:09 PM

dry badger what would happen if i execute elrsV3.lua file

that is the same "ExpressLRS" lua script from the tools menu

dry badger May 25, 2023, 2:14 PM

when i pitch my drone forward it rolls to the right in BETAFLIGHT

in setup tab

spark sluice May 25, 2023, 2:31 PM

dry badger when i pitch my drone forward it rolls to the right in BETAFLIGHT

channel mapping

#

Model Menu -> Mixes, take note of the order to which the channels are arranged..
it should be the same order in Receiver Tab in Betaflight

#

e.g. AETR1234 in model menu -> mixes
channel mapping should also be AETR1234

#

another thing to check: board orientation

dry badger May 25, 2023, 2:34 PM

spark sluice another thing to check: board orientation

where is that

spark sluice May 25, 2023, 2:34 PM

dry badger where is that

Configuration Tab in Betaflight

#

right column

#

in setup tab, when you move the flight controller, does the preview follow the movements of the fc in your hand?

dry badger May 25, 2023, 2:35 PM

it doesn't ever go into fast blinking pattern no matter how long you wait?

no

spark sluice May 25, 2023, 3:11 PM

which exact FC is it?

because ExpressLRS firmware version only goes up to 3.2.1 at the moment

dry badger May 25, 2023, 3:13 PM

#

spark sluice May 25, 2023, 3:13 PM

so it is an SPI-equipped FC

https://www.expresslrs.org/hardware/spi-receivers/
Flight controllers with built-in ELRS SPI receivers are not flashed using ELRS Configurator, the ELRS firmware is "baked in" to Betaflight. Thus to update your ELRS firmware, you'll need to flash the latest version of Betaflight for your FC. Betaflight 4.3.x is compatible with ELRS v2.x.x, and Betaflight 4.4.x is compatible with ELRS v3.x.x.

still something should appear on that section and the settings should be correct for any of the SPI-related stuff to work..

#

put the TX into wifi mode, take the UID numbers from that and use the CLI tab to set that same UID numbers into the FC

#

also, what RF mode/Packet rate do you have set for the internal module on the Zorro?

D, F and Full Res modes will not work with SPI elrs receivers.. per the spi page already linked twice
