FrSky 24 Channels

Open rsaleev opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I have Tandem X18 and it's possible to use 24 channels instead of 16/17/18. Do anyone have an idea how to get values from 24th byte?

Unfortunately, I don't see much documentation yet on how the 24 channel data works. Might be a bit to get this updated until more people get their hands on them and reverse engineer the protocol changes. Do you know if channels 16 - 24 are simply on / off commands or are they full-range like sticks and sliders?

Well, I am a newbie in C and microcontrollers. Tandem X18 is a fully customized device. Channel 16-24 can be a button, a switch or even a stick. Does reverse engineering means that I have to test one by one each parameter and compare it to bit fields values? If so, I know the right path to achieve the goal.

Given that those channels are more than just bits, they're either compressing the other channels or using more than the standard 25 bytes for a packet. It would be very difficult to reverse engineer as a newbie.
