Node based on Heltec Wireless stick.

  1. Updated from 2.1.5 to 2.2.0 using web flasher.
  2. Early saved settings imported in andriod app.
  3. Configured fixed position in android app (2.2.0 version)

Firmware 2.2.1 the same - position drops after node reboot

thebentern commented 11 months ago

@mrekin can you try out the 2.2.2 release?

mrekin commented 11 months ago

@thebentern yes, i'll test in several hours

mrekin commented 11 months ago

Node updated to 2.2.2 (no erase), wifi enabled. Android app 2.2.2

  1. Set Lat/Long/Alt in android app
  2. Check if coordinates displayed in node info
  3. Disconnect- connect to node: coordinates still here
  4. Power off - power on : no coordinates in node info.

Now repeat 1-3 step and will wait for 1-2 hours to check if coordinates still here.

mrekin commented 11 months ago

4 hours testing - position info not dropped. So problem exist only if node reboots/power off

Same for T-Beam on 2.2.2.f35c7be, after a reboot the fixed position ist reset

Can you post your full position config output from meshtastic --info?

@thebentern Right after position configured "position": { "positionBroadcastSecs": 900, "positionBroadcastSmartEnabled": true, "fixedPosition": true, "gpsEnabled": true, "gpsUpdateInterval": 120, "gpsAttemptTime": 900, "positionFlags": 3, "rxGpio": 34, "txGpio": 12, "broadcastSmartMinimumDistance": 100, "broadcastSmartMinimumIntervalSecs": 30 },

thebentern commented 10 months ago

@mrekin I believe I have a solution for this issue. It will go out in the next firmware release.

Fixed in 2.2.3 release

mrekin commented 10 months ago

@thebentern 2.2.3 still drops position. Found that I need turn off 'smart GPS' and 'GPS enabled' to keep fixed coordinates, so i'll use this config.

Fixed position is just the last position the device has, if you turn on the GPS it will quickly override your fixed position value. Turning off smart position is doing nothing for you.

Fixed position is just manually entered values in my case, because hw doesn't have GPS module. As user I expect to get clear behavior :) If I set fixed position - I expect it will work or return error\exception. Maybe this is app bug, but firmware allow set both parameters at the same time and provides unexpected behavior
