Param loading Green line does not go away

[rmackay9]

I think there may be an issue with the latest beta which means that the green parameter bar never goes away.

I can push the Config Retry button but still the bar remains.

It seems the "Retry Now" button appears every time a parameter is changed.

Is it still happens with 1.3.81 ? I cannot repro it.

Hi @EosBandi,

Thanks for looking into this. the exact way that I can reproduce this is to:

1. Start MP's copter simulator with "wipe" checked
2. Open config, Full Parameter list and set MNT1_TYPE = 10 (Xacti)

.. the green line should appear but never go away.

OK, got it. It seems to be a generic issue, when setting a parameter changes the number of parameters. The quickest way to solve it to notify the user and do a forced parameter refresh.

Can you imagine a scenario when this forced refresh can cause an issue ?

Thanks very much for that fix!

On very slow links downloading all parameters could be very slow and could even timeout. That's the only real problem I think. I don't think the autopilot's performance (e.g. the main loop) will slow down during a parameter download.
