Andy48 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Look on the bright side Tim, it gives the old brain a workout, and helps stave off dementia for a little longer (or so I keep trying to convince myself). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Blandford Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Did you use the Web page to flash the firmware? What is the problem with LUA, does the ESC just not respond? I noticed that the web configurator is from a site called FETtec. FETtec appear to make various hardware, including ESCs, together with the firmware for them. We should be able to find out what the update protocol is! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Kearsley Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Hi Mike, yes I used the web page to do the firmware upgrade. The only "suspicious" thing was that it completed very quickly, though the upgrade file was only a few tens of kilobytes. The LUA script runs without error but none of the config parameters have any values populated. I can configure the ESC from the web page so it's no big deal really and it's not as if you are changing the config of an ESC every day! I just like things to work as they should and it bugs me when they don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remcat Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Hi @Tim Kearsley Just read your post, I dont know if you resolved your problem of upgrade with STK tool. In case of not, note that the manual for the Neuron II is wrong , it shows that the PWM signal wire (and ground ) being the ones to connect to the STK port for upgrade and config. This is incorrect, it is the S-port wires (and ground) that you have to connect. Rémy PS: I have the same issue , LUA script ESC configurator not working on OpenTx!!!

Tim Kearsley Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 Thanks Remy. Yes, I discovered the error with the documentation! Once I used the S-Port wires it all worked. The LUA script for configuring the Neuron II however, as you too have found, does not work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remcat Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Hello For information, I created an issue on https://github.com/opentx/opentx/issues/9023. I'm afraid that the answer will be that FrSky Neuron2 is not supported by OPTX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Kearsley Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 Thanks Remy, it will be interesting to see if any action results from it! I fear you are right though - FrSky is only interested in Ethos now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Bagshaw Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Hi, Just purchased a Nueron II 80 and been following your posts, I have not been able to get the lua scripts to work either, I have the STK tool which is fine. But a more basic problem I have no telemetry from the ESC when using the smart port on a R8 Pro receiver. Any help appreciated.

Tim Kearsley Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 A quick initial thought Ian, have you run the "Discover sensors" from the telemetry screen on the Tx? The sensors don't show until you've done that. Apologies if you're already aware of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the original version of the Neuron which works with Bl Heli software there was an option to turn on telemetry and wondering if i have missed a step with the STK tool or if I have a faulty ESC.

remcat Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Hello Ian, if I well remember you have to enable telemetry on online FRsky Configurator . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Bagshaw Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Thanks think all sorted now turns out the smart port on the R8 Pro isnt working! One last question, on the Neuron II, should it count the battery cells as other esc's do? This one bleeps once and works fine just wondering?

remcat Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Hello Ian No, I didn't notice that the Neuron counts ( x bips) the number of cells when you switch on (just one bip). Do you have the last firmware on your R8 PRO? (ARCHER R8 PRO - FrSky - Lets you set the limits (frsky-rc.com) BR Rémy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Cole 2 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 On 20/08/2023 at 13:49, Tim Kearsley said: OK, solved this now. Despite the FrSky docs clearly showing the PWM wires being used for the connection to the STK, it is, as Mike suggested, the S-port that is used. Having sorted that, I updated the ESC firmware to the latest. The reason for doing this was that the comments against the firmware suggested that it might fix the LUA config script not working on OpenTx radios. Sadly, this is not the case. I can update the config using the STK but it would be rather more convenient doing it from the Tx. Still, I can live with that. Thanks to all who offered help. Tim, I am trying to update a neuron II at present, without much luck. Would you care to contact me to discuss. [email protected] Brry Cole.

Barry Cole 2 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) It turns out that I was not updating the firmware, as had not ticked a tick box. That now sorted and the firmware up to date. The Lua still does not work with OTX. When you download the latest firmware, it says that you must use the latest LUA, but there is only one dated July 23. What planet are FrSky living on.

Barry Cole 2 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Has anyone figured out how to turn the braking fully on or Off. Mine is On all the time, and I need it to be Off. BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remcat Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Try this : For break of: On webpage Configurator, disable "soft break" enable "3D" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just heard from Rich at T9, that FrSky have acknoledged that there is a problem, and are working on revised firmware. Happy Dayz.

Peter Hammond 1 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Hi all, I've just installed a Neuron 2. Tarannis 2019 on opentx R8 pro access. In my receiver I selected Fbus protocol. I plugged the yellow Esc wire and ground into the sport connector on the receiver (down by the antennea on the R8). The Neuron instructions are wrong on the wiring - use the sport down on the multi pin socket. Full telemetry works. The lua script on my tx works. Full integration and telemetry runs perfectly over single wire Fbus protocol. I did update the esc firmware with the STK tool. Hope this helps, Pete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Cole 2 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Peter, Can you turn the brake OFF??, that has been the ongoing problem. They say they are working on it, but it has been going on for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Cole 2 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) I managed to get hold of a radio with Ethos. With this and a receiver capable of F-Bus, it is possible to make adjustments to neuron II settings. By setting the soft brake to 100%, most of the braking is removed, but not quite all that you would expect with "Brake Off" They still tell me they are working on new firmware, but no idea when it might become available.
