Fix incorrect handling of long names #1020

Closed hexfet closed 2 years ago

hexfet commented 2 years ago

Names of max length (16 including nul) or greater caused incorrect calculation of location of next parameter in receiver buffer.

Fixes issue in serial sending code where link was switched from tx to rx before last byte finished sending.

Fixes updating CRSF config page device list when new info message received from new device.

Unfortunately this makes no difference. Device names longer than 14 characters are still shown as blank lines, same as 2b63b49 - your last PR for mixer-sync / CRSFshot (many thanks for that!)

Without RX connected: 20220112_102045

With RX: 20220112_121909

With RX and shorter name 20220112_115846

The full name of this TX is "BETAFPV 2G4Micro"

Thanks for the testing. Since I don't have an ELRS module I simulate the expected message from the module with the longer name, and it does display and work correctly. That suggests something is different about the message coming from ELRS. Do you have the ability to capture the serial data coming from the ELRS module to Deviation? That would be very helpful. I'll also take a look at the ELRS code to see if I can spot anything.

Can you post your T8SGv2-plus build please? I am building 75cd90e09ac2d0f4908c168cacdad1624c08834a but having no luck for some reason.

@StonedDawg is there any way to dump the menu data via serial debug from the eLRS TX?

hexfet commented 2 years ago

@howels Here's a build that also includes the crsfshot-sync change. deviation-t8sg_v2_plus-v5.0.0-75cd90e.zip

ps: I don't see anything different about the ELRS message format in the ELRS code. Looks like it should be handled fine with the change in this branch.

I don't know what to say. I have flashed https://github.com/DeviationTX/deviation/commit/d0ca7634e06c9877f31c20ed4f126edd2e87770e which you posted to the DeviationTX forums. I am building eLRS from source and uploading via the ExpressLRS-configurator tool. If I use the source as provided, I see no TX device. If I edit this line https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS/blob/32b5077d00be869978444b5aa30a6952ac9d3bc2/src/include/target/BETAFPV_2400_TX_MICRO.h#L2 and shorten the name by a few characters, then the TX appears. I can see the string doca763 on boot so I know it flashed ok. I am seeing if I can get serial output but simply enabling debug won't help as that only outputs the radio link stats and not menu data.

Is everybody using ExpressLRS-configurator 1.3.3?

howels commented 2 years ago

As pointed out by @mooiweertje this only works at <500Hz. On 500Hz the original problem persists.

howels commented 2 years ago

At 500Hz there is a small pause between bytes as stick commands are sent during the device-info transfer (cannot be chunked). OpenTX handles this pause OK, but sounds like on DeviationTX this pause is causing the transfer to fail and the data currently in the buffer is not returned.
