Title: Telemetry on revo w/o oplink?
Post by: zsoltm on November 15, 2016, 11:58:18 am

Hi, I'm pretty new to RC and LibrePilot as well. I just finished assembling a tricopter with Revo + minOpOSD. Everything seems to work fine expect one oddity: if I start the copter without the ground station there is no telemetry data flowing to the OSD. It flashes "No tel co" until I turn on the ground station with the oplink coordinator. I connected the OSD to flexi-port at 57k bps. Sometimes I want to fly without ground station, using just the OSD as telemetry feedback device so It'd be great if I could solve this. Is it possible to make oplink optional? I'm using LibrePilot 15.09 btw.

As a workaround and if you don't need control using Oplink (telemetry only) try setting the Revo (fly side) as coordinator and ground oplink as slave.

Thank you, that did the trick! It's still not perfect as I get intermittent blackouts in the telemetry stream, but rarely, so I don't really care. I'll play with the settings if I find the time.
