Hello,
ok I will try it -
For me to clarifying your problem is if I saw that correctly on the video you go into the subtrims and activate it in servo1 for example and at first the servos turn in servo middlepoint and short after changeing the value from 0 to 1 it turns back without doing anything ? My question is is it possible that this comes from transmitter of touching the wheel accidentally ? What happens if you only activate it without scrolling happens the same ?

Hello,

this will happen from version 3.7 if Throttle is not at Hold - please check diagnostic page if it is at 0%.

Hello,
it is in the moment not clearly if he has firmware 3.6.1 or in 3.7.0 on it -

I have 3.7.1 (spec. FW) on it and will test it if it works - my throttle hold is definetly on "0" -
I will reflash my spirit today with the official firmware and look if all works as expected -

Hello Tomas, Hello azaz44,
for me it doesn't work too !!

No change of the values are possible in Integration of servo1, servo2 and servo3 - You can change the values but it stays yellow after pushing the return button on the transmitter and if you then scroll to an other servo the old value is back again (black/white) - so it doesn't work definetely.

But I have had a strange thing today again - after closeing the Integration without saveing I got a "black" LED again ! Tomas I had that reported to you ! The strange thing all works (sticks) ! After getting back in the integration and immediate closure of the integration I got a blinking blue LED - so I was forced to go into the integration several times until I had a constantly lit blue LED again !
That's really a problem too and that should not be !
The problem with the "black" LED is an satus that shouldn't be at any time, maybe something can happen ?

So I think there must be done something that this integration will work reliable -

I have made some photos with "black" LED and others showing the problem -

Best Regards
Matthias

Hello,
now I have tested the new official 3.7.0-r2 firmware (without new indices as for example -r3) - nobody can see that anything has been changed in the 3.7.0-r2 so 3.7.0-r3 would have been better way to show something has changed -
This version is a bit faster than the 3.7.1 spec firmware (YGE) before -
In this version you can change the values of the servos if not on the first try then on the second try - if you change the value then confirm the value with enter (transmitter) then the sevos will go short in the servo middle position and after one or two seconds back in the stick position (transmitter) -

I think it would be much better if you go directly in servo subtrim that then all servos of the swashplate are going immediate in the middle position and if you then change the values ​​of an servo and confirm it with enter and then going to the next sevo till all servos are adjusted and if you then go back or confirm the changes the servos will go back to stick positions (transmitter) - I think this would be a good way and is simmilar as in the pc-software -

Tomas that would be nice !

Best Regards
Matthias

PS. The thing with the "black" LED has to be clarified nevertheless

Yes that's exactly what I have. I change a subtrim, then servos go to center, but one second later they go back. So it isn't possible to level the swash in such a short time.

I would love if we would just have a checkbox to enter leveling mode, just like on PC software. This would be great for another reason - it would allow to enter leveling mode without changing subtrims, which is great if you just want to setup blade tracking, or if you level the swash mechanically by these servos (I use them and love them):

What you describe with LED is a different problem. For me it looks like you cannot use "RET / RTN" button at the moment. You have to use buttons in the app (BACK or CLOSE). Otherwise it leaves Spirit in setup mode (blinking LED). Black LED (off) also happened to me few times.

Hello azaz44,
maybe I said it not correctly I don't use the RTN button of the Radio (left) but the right one in the middle of it (the silver one) see on my pictures where my transmitter is shown -
I would not know otherwise how I should do it to set the new value -

Best Regards

Has somebody tested ETHOS 1.5.12 with the Spirit LUA? Is it working? FrSky again dropped some LUA functions and replaced them with others.

Do you know what functions were dropped? Release notes don't mention any.

Hello,
I have updated my FrSky Radios to ETHOS 1.5.12 (Horus X10S Express and Tandem X18SE) the Integation script gets an error (red triangle), see added sreenshots - in ETHOS 1.5.11 all works fine - I think there must be changed something that it works correctly again - For Information, the red triangle means stop the script that we dont get an EM (emergency mode) on the transmitter - I think this is a serious mistake that should be quick corrected - so the integration is not usable as it is unfortunately!
Tomas I only can give you an information that here appears an error and I hope you can correct the script that it works again -
Here some screenshots added, also with the error message on the screen -

Best regards
Matthias
