Stabilization Receiver\RB Lua Feature Suggestion : Backup\Restore or Export\Import #4325

Open frskyrc-ben opened 1 month ago

frskyrc-ben commented 1 month ago

With the latest Lua 3.0.0 and new firmware release it requires the user to completely reset and reconfigure the Stabilization receiver.

This causes a lot of trouble for users who have their receivers already mounted in the plane and is a lot of work to disconnect all the servos and reconnect them all.

I would really like to see the option to Export\Import or Backup\Restore the receiver Stabilization settings so the user can perform the update, reset the receiver settings, then import\restore their old settings.

It would be great if we could add this into the older Stab_RX_2.0.6 Lua scripts so the user can get the old configuration data before the update to the new Lua 3.0.0 and for subsequent versions moving forward.

The configuration export\backup should include the receiver calibration and self-check data and to consider any renamed configuration settings so the old configuration data can restore correctly.

I confirm, it is a big work to take receivers off some models and do again calibration, because of receiver position and double sided tape: please add something to save calibration data.

I second that, it's very inconvenient to remove rx's from planes to re-calibrate. I have several planes that they are glued in place, removal is such a hassle.

That's a great idea. If not that, a big fat warning stating that updating firmware will wipe out all your settings and that you must write your current settings done before they are lost forever.

I have 15 plus stabilized receivers, all glued/hard mounted into the planes. I have no issue re-running anything with it still in the plane, but I do not want to remove/damage all these planes to remove the receiver to perform an update.
