There is no reason why it shouldn't work with EthOS technically. But it does not work with some receivers with S.PORT, while same work with OpenTX. We dont know why. FrSky replied that they do not intend to support it since there are better protocols such as F.Port and FBUS. Probably it is intentional move to switch all customers to newer protocol. We agree FBUS is much better and safer from technical point of view.
That's a pity, but let's see what they respond there. It seems problem is purely in software.
@Thomas one more question, would it be possible to share (maybe in wiki) some info on how integration scripts are working? Like what data needs to be sent to do things, encoding of information, basically how communication protocol looks like?
I'm converting all of my helis to Ethos and I find that integration part lacks at the moment. There's no log viewer, and settings app is not reliable yet. It sometimes works (on F.Port), but sometimes not. I also saw it leaving FBL in "settings mode" (LED blinking) after app was exited with "Close Menu". (BTW, is it risky to fly like this?)
This is all understandable, considering amount of effort needed to develop such stuff, and that Ethos is relatively new + probably not biggest user base of this system. But maybe we could help ourselves in some cases and develop or improve scripts on our own? Like have some quick-and-dirty log viewer for now. Or even a good one, somewhere in github.
I know we can reverse engineer your scripts, but it's a bit tedious. Some official info would be handy and less risky.
