I did flash this into it again

and followed up with the CLI commands like last time

but I think that might not be the same

[restive lake]

flashed the drone multiple times. put in the binding phrase everytime. tryed to check boxmasters binding phrase to make sure. still the same.
Used the 'bind receiver' button in betaflight, doesn't do shit I'm lost 🤣

[lofty ferry]

could you post a photo of the actual flight controller you got please

[lofty ferry]

it says X12 in one of the corners, yeah?
so that's an !spi fc

[strange estuary]

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.
In Betaflight 4.4 and newer, the binding phrase can be set directly on the receiver tab in Betaflight Configurator.
In Betaflight 4.3, the binding phrase needs to be set via CLI. Enter it here and paste the resulting code in the Betaflight CLI: https://www.expresslrs.org/hardware/spi-receivers/#binding-phrase

X12 ELRS

V2.2

Does that mean I just need to flash it to a 4.3 version

because I've flashed it multiple times but always the newest versions

and it just wouldn't bind to my boxmaster

[lofty ferry]

4.5.1 betaflight, with your radio/tx module flashed with ExpressLRS 3.5.1

set the packet rate on your radio to one of the SPI-compatible packet rate, and they should sync

[restive lake]

ok so boxmaster needs get reflashed aswell

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[lofty ferry]

if it's not yet on latest ExpressLRS firmware, then you should

[restive lake]

it was the latest in the start of this year >.<

[lofty ferry]

guides are here: https://www.expresslrs.org/quick-start/transmitters/rm-internal/

[restive lake]

oke just updated boxmaster to the newest, what do I do with the lua again?

[lofty ferry]

set the packet rate to the supported modes

[restive lake]

managed to link mine,

but my friends boxmaster just gets 'update failed' when we try to update hes boxmaster

[lofty ferry]

are you FOLLOWING the flashing guide?
does it actually have an internal ELRS module?

[restive lake]

it's literally the same shit I have, but for me it worked

trying to do it again

and it's just saying update failed

when we try to update hes boxmaster >.<

[lofty ferry]

post a photo of the battery bay, near the sd card slot of the boxer that won't update

[lofty ferry]

does the lua script load in the system menu?

[restive lake]

but again we bought the exact same one, long time ago, flashed to the same stuff that time as well. used the same mobula 8 we both destroyed it and bought a new one

it does work, we can use the wifi connectivity as well

it all works but when I press update in the 10.0.0.1 thingie to update the firmware it says update failed

[lofty ferry]

so update via wifi.. or recheck the steps for etx passthrough and see if you missed a step

[restive lake]

we tryed updating via wifi, but when I press update it says update failed

[lofty ferry]

so update via ETX Passthrough instead

update failed on via wifi will show up if the wifi connection is flaky

[lofty ferry]

did you guys install the drivers for the vcp device?

[restive lake]

sorry but what's that

.>

you mean with impulse? if so then yes

[lofty ferry]

so you're not following the procedure

drivers were mentioned on step 3

that's before step 4

[restive lake]

I'm very following procedures, like I said it all worked out on my boxmaster, it just doesn't work now when I try to do it for my mate

[lofty ferry]

post a screenshot of the device manager app from your computer, with Ports device grouping expanded.. like in the photo on step 3

https://www.expresslrs.org/assets/images/DeviceMngr.png

[lofty ferry]

so please install the vcp drivers as mentioned on step 3

flashing guide is here once again:
https://www.expresslrs.org/quick-start/transmitters/rm-internal/#via-etx-passthrough

FOLLOW the guide

[restive lake]

sorry man

i really don't get why it's not working

with mine it worked instantly after following the guide, updated through wifi.

but with hes boxmaster it just doesn't want to work

[lofty ferry]

reboot the computer and make sure no other app is running that uses the com port.

e.g. betaflight configurator

[restive lake]

same thing happened

[lofty ferry]

post a screenshot of the hardware page of the system menu, under the serial ports..
usb-vcp setting

(from the radio)

[restive lake]

somehow second try did work

🪄

Thank you for your golden patience kind sir

[restive lake]

Dear sir

@lofty ferry we can't go into video transmitter to setup a channel for the analog goggles

[lofty ferry]

did you flashed the flight controller with osd(hd) option?

if you did, reflash WITHOUT that option

[restive lake]

did it without now but still have no setup channel on the video transmitter

[lofty ferry]

find the vtx table from happymodel, or the full CLI diff all backup

apply the backup via the CLI tab

[restive lake]

how can you find the VTX table

[lofty ferry]

go into the manufacturer website and do a search for the drone you have..

or if you made a backup of the configuration before updating the drone firmware, use that

try this:
https://www.happymodel.cn/index.php/2023/05/05/default-factory-dump-file-for-mobula8/

use the one for SPI

e.g. https://www.happymodel.cn/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Mobula8-SPI-ELRS-dump-file-for-Betaflight-4.4.2.txt

[restive lake]

please fix errors then save

what now

[lofty ferry]

you can just ignore the errors as they will be set to defaults anyway..

[restive lake]

you

are

the best

all the buttons are changed after that

the throttle is no pitch >.<

etc

[lofty ferry]

match the Channel Mapping settings on receiver tab with the order of channels on your radio's Mixes page (Model Menu, mixes)

[restive lake]

you defused us
