PID's and AUX settings deleted after firmware upload

Post by Leo »

Hi,

I've noticed that with MW 2.4 I'm losing PID and AUX settings after I upload the firmware.

I thought if this option is set

#define NO_FLASH_CHECK

I would be safe.

What do I have to do to prevent MW form deleting my settings after each upload?

Thanks,

Leo

I also noticed this behaviour, but this only happened to me when I added or removed some features in the code. If this results in more or less checkboxes for AUX the settings are reset. Now I always take a screenshot from the config gui before playing around with config.h ore trying something else in the code.

Thanks for the confirmation. I've noticed this for a while and I always put the blame on the GUI.

I use a screenshot as well but it's a pain having to reenter the PID's and AUX settings every time.

I hope this gets fixed.

There's also a save button in the Gui that save the PID settings to a file.
Not sure about the AUX

Yes, I'm using the save function in the GUI however only PID's are saved not AUX settings.

Maybe this can be fixed for the PIDs but I think the structure of the aux settings cannot react to changes in the defined features. The aux settings do not have a "name", just an index. And the order is fixed. So a new activated feature may appear just in between your old ones and destroy the old indices.
