BETF_BETAFPV411 incompatible with Serial ELRS FC v2.1 #13102

hyp0dermik-code · 2023-09-30T09:31:07Z

Describe the bug

Calib arm flag not cleared when reflashing from configurator - no output observed from gyro

To Reproduce

Reflash 4.4.0+ from configurator
Load custom defaults for board (unless 4.5z)
Enable bidir
Observe no output from gyro

Run

set dshot_bitbang = on
save

Observe gyro working

Expected behavior

Default config does not force bitbang off

confirming gyro still not working

hyp0dermik-code · 2023-10-01T01:59:18Z

OSD and blackbox work with working config.I have not tested OSD or blackbox with bitbang off.
Voltage works
Current sensor constantly reports ~12a with bitbang on or off.
The pin does not seem to have changed:
factory config - resource ADC_CURR 1 B01
4.5 dump - resource ADC_CURR 1 B01

SteveCEvans · 2023-10-01T08:33:24Z

Flash and OSD are both on SPI bus 2 which isn’t good for higher logging rates.

SteveCEvans · 2023-10-01T08:35:24Z

@SteveCEvans is this rev 2.0 of the board?
Rev 2.0 also works for me. 2.1 seemst to have trouble.

Not sure to be honest. Mine is in an early Meteor75 HD (WS). I’ll look to see if a rev is visible on the silk-screen.

The rev on mine is in between motor ports. Should be visible without disassembly from the bottom.

Yup, found it. V2.0.

Still needs further investigation, simple solution would be set bitbang on/auto in config.h, but these issues suggest that this will cause problems for other users with the older version?

gizlonk · 2023-12-07T17:20:18Z

I also have the V2.1, and my acellerometer went wild after upgrading to 4.4.3.

Using the instructions above, I was able to get it working:

Flash 4.4.3
Enable BiDir and "save and reboot"
Reconnect and run "set dshot_bitbang = on" in the cli tab
"save" in the cli tab
Calibrate acellerometer
Configure gyro alignment (mine was 90 degrees CW)

haslinghuis · 2023-12-07T19:31:06Z

@hyp0dermik-code should we change the default for dshot_bitbang for this target?

ot0tot · 2023-12-07T19:49:19Z

Seems to be an issue with losing DMA on SPI2 (used for blackbox and OSD) when DShot bitbang is disabled. Just a poor choice of motor resource pins complicated by having multiple peripherals on the same SPI bus.

@hyp0dermik-code If you disable blackbox, does everything else work properly with dshot_bitbang off?

The downside of defaulting to dshot_bitbang on is you lose DMA on the gyro. This doesn't seem to be a huge issue with the BMI270 gyro due to it's low sample rate, but would cause issues with FCs that use this target that have the MPU6000 gyro.

hyp0dermik-code · 2023-12-08T03:16:56Z

@hyp0dermik-code should we change the default for dshot_bitbang for this target?

Not yet, this fix only seems to be relevant for v2.1 with no cause found yet. Per here it may break things #13102 (comment) and will break existing users diffs for this target?

Will check

I have an BetaFPV 1-2S F4 Pro V2.1 ELRS FC with an ICM20689 gyro in a Beta85 Pro drone. Had a few flights with 4.4.3 and 250Hz last week without any issues.

haslinghuis · 2023-12-08T23:03:33Z

Had no issues with Meteor 85 either (ICM20689 using a development version with added blackbox from betafpv).

alexberdnik · 2024-01-08T10:30:30Z

Same issue for me, ELRS FC with BMI270, no ceramic antenna. dshot_bitbang is required and gyro aligment should be set to 90CW.

MWTaken · 2024-01-18T16:47:08Z

Using ELRS 2.1 and 4.4.3, enabled bitbang made the gyro work again, however if I also enable LEDs in configuration i get the below error.

haslinghuis · 2024-01-18T17:09:46Z

If using the SPI ELRS FC you would need BEFH-BETAFPVF4SX1280 instead of BEFH-BETAFPVF411.

BEFH-BETAFPVF4SX1280 does not have blackbox as BEFH-BETAFPVF411 does.

Please submit support ID here for more information. You can create one in the CLI tab.

its the serial elrs version.

So looking at the 4.3 build bitbang is on by default. I can't see any way to make this FC work with addressable LEDs since it needs bitbang to work.

Hello!
I have this issue on BetaFPV F4 5A AIO intergrated serial ELRS.
No arm with CALBRATING reasone. There are no Gyro output on sensor tab.
Betaflight 4.5RC3.
I've checked, the BF 4.4 does not work too.
Is exists any way to do this FC work?

It seems, the dshot_bitbang=on is realy helpfull!

MWTaken · 2024-03-29T19:07:04Z

Led outputs won’t work with bitbang on, don’t bother trying to solder on addressable leds.

haslinghuis · 2024-03-29T19:24:57Z

Try disabling blackbox for led outputs to work.

demvlad · 2024-03-29T19:32:51Z

Ok. Thank you.
I've disabled LED when flash BF firmware.
But i need blackbox very much:).
Will the blackbox work without LED?

demvlad · 2024-03-29T19:34:14Z

There are no other limits by using bit_bang=On ?

demvlad · 2024-04-02T04:35:59Z

I've got an answer from BetaFPV support. They written that this is some firmware issue.

Justicefpv · 2024-05-01T16:21:53Z

Below is from my Discord support forum post. I've run into this issue recently, as it seems many others have.

I recently replaced two BETAFPVF411 1s AIO's, both are of the same 2.1 revision. However, I have encountered an issue with the gyro calibration/initialization process.

Upon setting up and testing the flight controllers, I found that the FCs fail to calibrate properly during the initialization process after plugging in the USB cable. (Setting the gyro_calib_noise_limit has no effect) The arming flag within the configurator is stuck at 'calibrating', the model does not move on the setup tab and the sensors tab also shows no movement.

I have attempted various troubleshooting steps and the only way in which I can get both FCs to work correctly is to set both dshot_bitbang to ON and acc_calibration to a value I found in the dump file on the betafpv website within the CLI. By doing this the configurator will then report the gyro correctly.

I found that the two FCs also behave differently when it comes to the dshot_bitbang setting. One unit works correctly with this setting turned OFF, while the other unit only functions properly when dshot_bitbang is set to ON. This behaviour is surprising since both units are supposed to be identical (2.1 revision).

krisdover · 2024-05-10T09:49:11Z

Same issue for me, ELRS FC with BMI270, no ceramic antenna. dshot_bitbang is required and gyro alignment should be set to 90CW.

Same here running BF v4.4.3. The FC is a v2.1 betafpv411 AIO board with the serial ELRS receiver. ~~For some strange reason the Gyro update frequency is also stuck on 3.20 KHz. Any ideas as to how to get 8 KHz?~~

EDIT: I just realised this AIO runs the BMI270 which is limited to 3.2 KHz 😳
