RSSI? #5

Open sebest opened 7 years ago

Hello,

Is it possible to have the RSSI?

What is the '100%' in the OSD next to the timer, my friend had antenna issue (cut) and it was still displaying 100% even if the rssi was really low on the Taranis: 40.

From what I understand we could get it from aux[3]

RSSI depends on the RC RX that is being used. Some give it in an aux channel, some on a separate pin and some do not give it at all. The percentage you see is the percents of packets received. If that starts to fall, you are actually losing packets (RX packets and not telemetry to taranis) else, regardless of the complaints of your Taranis, the FC is getting all packets that it expects.

Looking at the video from DVR it seems that the percentage decreased when it was already too late (no more signal from the remote). I guess that if he had RSSI, he would have been able to see it decreasing before losing total control?

What do you think about having a config.h file to define build time settings, that way the user could say that he has a Taranis and it would build the code to get RSSI the "Taranis" way.

I started working on a Config.h file for KissKONG to add features that I want on my OSD: https://github.com/sebest/KissKONG/commit/361a0e8c66c656e7cfeaa28dcef7bac6eac56d9b

Let me know what you think.
