General Discussion / What is the current status of LibrePilot and the Revolution?

« Last post by hamilc on June 03, 2023, 04:55:19 pm »

I am interested in restarting my LibrePilot and Revolution quad copter activity. I read here that there is soon to be an updated release of LibrePilot. Is this still in the works? Also, I see that HobbyKing does not have any Revolutions any more. I see that Ebay does have some but is this a dead product? Is there a better controller that is compatible with LibrePiulot? Somewhere I read that AudroPiolot is compatible with revolution. Is this correct? Is ArduPilot a better choice now? I just want to restart with good options.

General Discussion / Old copter control can't connect to reciver*solved*

« Last post by sjak on May 06, 2023, 02:14:37 pm »

Hi! I cant get a old Copter control board(see image ) connect to the reciver a Frsky TFR 4 (jumper on ch3 to ch4 to get ppm on ch1 ) and transmitter Futaba T8FG.

I had openpilot on it before and I fly with it 2 weeks ago(a multicopter 5") the reciver is connected to reciver port as ppm+nooneshot

And I upgrade it to Librepilot 16.09 today (have tried to erase it also)and now I can't get it to "see" the reciver.

In the transmitter wizard nothing happens. Does Copter control boards work ok on Libre pilot?

*update* Have now test with a CC3D same behavior no rx connection.have also test with another Frsky TFR 4 and no connection. Have also measured the cable(multimeter)
between reciver port and rx all good connection.

So may I miss something in configuration

*Update* saw in the docs that the ppm signal should be at pin 3 when ppm+nooneshot  selected. I had it on pin 8
I have old plush ecs(yes this is old...) so don't know why i had it on pin 8(no blheli,simon k) have this changed since openpilot?

How ever now it work as it should!

Thanks, that's what I've been using.  Was hoping for some additional changes.  FWIW, I've not had any issues with r782.

Sorry.  Delays caused by me wanting to understand OSG Earth PFD working under Linux, but not Windows 7 on my laptops (two laptops, both dual boot Windows and Linux) and dropping the ball...

Almost all of the new stuff is already available in the current 'next' download if you would like to play with that...

Hello.  Is there any news as to the progress of the new release?  I have some CC3D mini and revos I can test with.  Best for me would be if there is CRSF support as I'm setup with ELRS.  Thanks.

Glad to see there is work still being done. I have been gone for about 2 years and thought I would check-in.

Sorry.  I've been pulled away for a while.  I have not been as active in helping get the release out I had hoped.

I will try to get back to helping get a release out.

Sorry.  I don't have an estimate for when a new release will be ready.
