Issue with LilyGO T-Motion device #94

Closed MisterT2 closed 3 years ago

  1. Stratux version: 1.6r1-eu022

  2. Stratux config:

    SDR

    • [ ] single
    • [X] dual

    GPS

    • [X] yes
    • [ ] no type: VK-162 G-Mouse

    AHRS

    • [ ] yes
    • [X] no

    power source: external

    usb cable:

  3. Description of your issue: I'm trying to flash my S76G LilyGO T-Motion device, as recommanded in the Wiki. Unfortunately, whatever method I'm using (from Linux or directly from my Stratux), I always get the same issue:

    esptool.py v2.7-dev
    Serial port /dev/ttyACM0
    Connecting........_____....._____....._____....._____....._____....._____....._____
    A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out waiting for packet header

I may be wrong, but I guess this is linked to the fact the firmware fetched is for ESP32, while my S76G is using a STM32. Correct ?

In that case, which firmware should I use (the SoftRF firmware in place does not seem to be properly recognized by Stratux-EU)

Thanks !

OGN Tracker does not support the T-Motion. It is meant for the T-Beam. You can use SoftRF just fine and it should work. Make sure to enable NMEA output and not dump1090 or GDL90 output in SoftRF.

OK. Will buy T-Beam then... But I will try what you propose also :-) Thanks !
