FLARM V7 - no traffic received

[VirusPilot]

Just built the latest version, FLARM TX seems to work and is received both by my OGN station as well as a SoftRF T-Echo. Unfortunately the same SoftRF is not received by GXAirCom ...

[slash-bit]

Also, just built latest version (Heltec Lora V3) as a Ground station . Its receiving FLARM OK from XCTracer and Soft RF.

Are all the options ticked?

Hm, my device is a T-Beam v1.2 (SX1276) and I built the "psRAM" target.

@VirusPilot
If you didn't changed the settings, the configuration is like on skytraxx.
So Fanet and Flarm is sent but only Fanet will be received.
In order to check Flarm, I recommend to heck only Flarm TX and Flarm RX in the settings.
Then only Flarm will be sent and received.
In Europe, you have Powerflarm enabled with this settings, Which means Flarm is sent on 868,2Mhz and 868,4Mhz
Great, that somebody is already checking Flarm.

ok will, try - just compiling for T-Beam S3 core ...

Hm, just flashed with binary from github onto TTGO Lora (noPsRam ) and indeed , no FLARM received neither from XCTracer or SoftRF in AIRModule mode.
Are you using ready binary or compiling in Platformio ?

[VirusPilot]

Same issue on the T-Beam S3 core, even when FANET is completely disabled.

[gereic]

So, you mean it is only working in Ground-station mode ??
Stupid question, GPS Position is ok?
And time on info-page is correct?

[VirusPilot]

• operating mode is AIR-Module
• GPS is ok
• time is perfect

[gereic]

Strange, because when I programmed it, it was in Air-mode.
I tried with an XC-tracer Max and Softrf Dongle edition.
On GXAircom I saw both devices.

[VirusPilot]

Let me try a different FLARM sender tomorrow. Btw, BLE connectivity with SkyDemon works great but SkyDemon needs $GNGSA to display GPS altitude.

[VirusPilot]

But wait, the SoftRF Dongle does not transmit V7, it only can do V6.

[gereic]

Did you flashed latest version of Softrf?
I think I disabled receiving the old V6 protocol. Maybe your version only transmit v6

[gereic]

XC-tracer with latest Alarm update only transmit v7.

My results:
Heltec Lora v3 ( self compiled firmware)
FLARM from XCTracer Maxx2 RX OK
FLARM from Sot RF RX OK

TTGO Lora (noPsRam binary
FLARM from XCTracer Maxx2 RX OK
FLARM from SOFT RF NOT OK

PS XC Tracer Maxx 2 with latest firmware can only Transmitt FLARM (I believe v7)

[VirusPilot]

I am running Moshe's SoftRF fork on T-Echo (which does both V6 and V7), I am maintaining my own SoftRF fork (for Stratux purposes) which I need to flash again to on one of my devices - job for tomorrow...

Correction to earlier message.
FLARM received OK from lyusupov Soft RF (running on T-Beam S3 Core) on both Heltec Lora V3 ( ground station) and TTGO Lora noPsRam in AIR mode.
E18990 is Soft RF id.

This is good to know thanks.
The Skytraxx version (FANET RX/TX, FLARM TX) I think is called FANET+
Also XCTrace Maxx2 is the same FANET+

[VirusPilot]

Success. Now running my own SoftRF fork on a T-Beam S3 Supreme and both devices mutually receive each other.
