I can connect to Dragonlink v3 Tx using Android Tower using tablet or mobile without a problem.
Two different W10 laptops can pair via Bluetooth to Dragonlink v3 Tx, but 90% of the trials they refuse to connect with MP (57600 in MP and in Windows and ‘Reset APM on USB connect’ is unchecked). The other 10% MP claims connection ‘Done’, starts loading parameters and either never ends loading parameters or displays the following message:
@Michael_Oborne
Connecting via Bluetooth using APM Planner v2.0.24 works, but I am missing too many features, therefore I am stuck with MP .
Tower and APM-Planner work, seems to be a MP issue.
1.3.43 and 1.3.44 didn’t work and I just started using Dragonlink, therefore I have no experience with older MP versions.
Tower works on mobile and tablet, APM-Planner works on both laptops and therefore I think it is MP related.
EDIT: updated info
In the meantime I get more connections with MP. In Flight Data it displays all data and starts getting parameters, after MP says Done and starts reading parameters I have to cancel getting parameters.
This way I get a downlink that works when connecting via USB to the Dragonlink, but when I try to use Bluetooth it seems to work for some seconds, then the displayed parameters freeze and the connection is lost (white red symbol instead of green).
I have been having issues with parameter fetch/refresh using Dragonlink Tx -> Bluetooth -> 56k baud -> MissionPlanner. I’ve tweaked lots of the SR*_ parameters and MP telemetry rate settings. I saw Michael’s post from two weeks ago to try latest beta, which I just did, and still seeing issues. I turned on the console window on the help screen, restarted MP, and connected via 56k baud to the serial com ports associated with Bluetooth to Dragonlink Tx. I copied the console output for that startup sequence, until shortly after the param fetch completed. I copied the console output, and it shows 14 occurrences of “bad packet” and 38 occurrences of “already got”. Is that expected? If not, what more can I do to help diagnose what’s going on?
