Steps to Reproduce

1. Install ELRS configurator 1.6.0 or 1.6.1

2. Build a new firmware with such options:

   Release: 3.2.0
   Device category: Happymodel 900 MHz
   Device: HappyModel RX ES900RX
   Flashing method: WIFI
   Mode: Standard mode
   Regulatory domain: FCC 915
   AUTO_WIFI_ON_INTERVAL: 60
   Deselect everything else

3. Upload the new firmware.bin.gz through 10.0.0.1 web UI

4. Re-connect to the UI and see the fw number

Possible Solution (Not obligatory)

ELRS configurator 1.5.10 builds shows correct firmware version

Context

This issue makes troubles to know the actual version of RX through web UI

Your Environment

• Operating System and version:
• OS: Win11
• ELRS Configurator version: 1.6.0 and 1.6.1
• TX hardware: -
• RX hardware: HappyModel ES900RX

The reason that it shows 'merge' is that the hardware was flashed from a branch before the branch was merged into the main line. This is not a bug, it is expected behaviour.

@pkendall64 sorry I'm new to the ExpressLRS, would you please clarify one more thing. I supposed that if I'm building fw from official releases tab then I'll get version that corresponds to the tag, am I wrong? Adding a full screenshot of app to avoid misunderstanding

[pkendall64]

Yes, that is correct. Using 1.6.1 of configurator should not need to build the firmware, it should use the pre-built binary assets from our artifact repository.
