RSSI TGY-i6S TX #4

Hello,

I have a TGY-i6S TX and a TGY-iA6B RX, and I was searching a lot to find a solution to take RSSI signal from the RX in order to send it to a Micro MinimOSD. Apparently there is no solution for that, untill I found this firmware update.

I'd like to know if after this firmware update I would see the same RSSI data on TGY-i6S TX? If yes, this data could be sent to Pixhawk and then throught the telemetry output could be read on the Micro MinimOSD.

And if, after this firmware update I could RSSI signal from RX in order to directly send it to Micro MinimOSD (since it as a analog/digital PWM RSSI pad)?

Thanks

Somewhere there are instructions on soldering some RSSI to the iA6B. The way I have RSSI is thru the hacked firmware (https://github.com/qba667/FlySkyI6/releases) on my FlySky i6. It is not true RSSI, as it is the FS-i6 sending the strength of the signal it receives from the plane/quad back to the Rx as a separate channel (Channel 11, but you can pick what you want).

This works with some delay. But it is great to both judge if you get too close to the edge. For locating the plane in a tree, I use RSSI on the Tx display (as late as this past weekend).
