USB Joystick reboots

[xpertcrush]

Describe the bug When i connect usb as joystick it doesn't work on first go and tx also restarts on connection, on windows after trying 2-3 times it connects but in setup joystick option, none of the axis works, see video for demo.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to setup and change usb to once
2. Connect to pc using data cable
3. It won't connect and you will only see usb input device, Repeat the steps, your tx may reboot on own and it will connect, but your current model selected will have garbled name and settings inside.
4. See error

Expected behavior It should work on first go and there should be no reboots

Can you retry on this build? You should manually format eeprom after flashing it. openi6x-usbtest.zip

[xpertcrush]

Yes i can, wait i will do it now and report back, also i am using single cell lipo mode, can you adjust the battery range from 3.5 low to whatever high doesn't matter. So that I can set low alarm at 3.5

Initially expression:

Looks good so far it didn't rebooted and my sticked detected as well

Please change batter low range from 3.5

So i dont hear this continuous beep of low battery on lipo

Should we try disabling the watchdog to see if its a delay or a lockup?

[ajjjjjjjj]

Sure, if we can reproduce.

Found fix? It's still rebooting and works after 30-40 tries

[ajjjjjjjj]

Can you share your eeprom copy?

[ajjjjjjjj]

@xpertcrush , maybe i found the fix, try latest release.

[ajjjjjjjj]

Closing because stalled

[marianomd]

Still happening on 1.6.1. Will try to debug it (through bluetooth serial💪)

[marianomd]

It seems related to USB cable quality.

The throttle warning doesn't appear during the bootloops.

I have a similar issue, never got joystick mode to work. However, flashing via dfu mode and storage mode do work. In joystick mode I get a broken device (Code 10) in windows and the i6x randomly beeps a couple times.

Hello, great work so far. The joystick mode does never work for me in version 1.6.0 or 1.6.1. Tried the older versions. Had to flash back to Version 1.1.0. This will do it every 4th or 5th attempt. In very few cases, the device restarts. Most of the time, an error code 10 appears in the device-manager.

Just updated from the one of the early versions of this that had to be flashed by ST Link Adaptor. Flashed fine by DFU and USB cable on linux. Booted into windows (for simulator) and the Devices and Printers page shows "FS-i6x Joystick" but the hardware tab of the properties shows "Device Status: This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

Version 1.8.0 2022-11-04

This bug is still a problem in 1.9.0heli build. I am not a programmer. I have been in electronics sense 1975. Built first computer in 75 using hex readout and 8bit binary switches. This is why over my head. This is a driver problem. Win10 driver needs to be fixed. I do not know how to write custom drivers. I am going to have to reload the original OEM FW. I need to sim heli. I am just getting back into RC after a 20 year break. Much has changed. Back then I did PASCAL programing. I have no C++ experience. I find WIN10 a pain.
