vt100 interface problem in dev_20120622

[sismeiro]

Hi to all,

I am testing the dev_20120622 MultiWii version and the vt100 interface isn't working, I upgraded from dev_20120522 were was working perfectly.

I can see that the interface is working because the led blinks when I move the pitch stick and I even done a rollback to the 20120522 and was working as it should. My configuration is (everything else wasn't changed):

Code: Select all

#define QUADX
//#define MINTHROTTLE 1150
#define MINTHROTTLE 1180 // for RCTimer ESCs 30A
//#define I2C_SPEED 100000L     //100kHz normal mode, this value must be used for a genuine WMP
#define I2C_SPEED 400000L   //400kHz fast mode, it works only with some WMP clones and with most current boards
#define CRIUS_SE        // Crius MultiWii SE
//#define ALLOW_ARM_DISARM_VIA_TX_ROLL
#define RCAUXPIN8
#define LCD_CONF
#define LCD_CONF_AUX
#define SUPPRESS_LCD_CONF_AUX34
#define LCD_VT100       // vt100 compatible terminal emulation (blueterm, putty, etc.)
#define LCD_TELEMETRY
#define LCD_TELEMETRY_AUTO "12345"
//#define MAXTHROTTLE 1850
#define MAXTHROTTLE 1900
#define MOTOR_STOP

Does someone also has this problem?

Hi,
it is at least two problems:
- you get no display data (same with textstar and probably every other serial output apart from GUI),
- cannot navigate the configuration nor the telemetry via key inputs

For the first I do not know.
For the second problem I now know the cause.
It was introduced with the latest code twists for the Serial Protocol implementation. The relevant parts for key handling were kicked out.

working on it now.

second problem - navigating config and telemetry via key inputs - fixed; submitted to _shared.

First problem - no serial output to displays - unknown.

Hi,
should VT100 work already in Pre 2.1?
I cant get it to work unfortunatly.
Its just to know whether to invest more time trying or to leave it.
Thank you

yes, the serial problem was fixed; I use it all the time.
