Crossfire bound but no input in betaflight!
#1
Question 
Hey all, very sorry but I am once again back! Got a tbs crossfire system (micro tx + micro rx v2) today and I'm having a few issues with it. I wired in my crossfire micro rx v2 correctly, with CH1 to rx etc, and I bound the receiver to my qx7s fine (did also adjust the baud rate). I can configure the receiver from the radio and I do get RSSI feedback so I know its working.

However, I don't get any stick inputs in betaflight? I've wired it up to tx6/rx6, set serial rx on for that uart. Set the protocol as CRSF in betaflight and the radio. The micro tx is also set to output CRSF TX to rx and CRSF RX to tx correctly. I've updated firmware for the transmitter/receiver and nothing still. Also tried doing it with a LiPo plugged in and nothing.

Help please!

If it helps, I have an emax buzz and here's the flight controller diagram:

Thanks so much in advance!

Did you create a model in your QX7? You might need to redo your mixer settings again.

I've used the same model as I've always done, which worked on my R9M and xm+, would I need to create another model?

If you changed an existing model to use Crossfire then you shouldn't need to set up the channels and mixer again.

Could you post a dump from the Betaflight CLI?

It didn't let me post all of it because too many characters so I had to make a google document instead, sorry

Hmm, your config looks fine.

Is it definitely wired to UART6? I couldn't see any pads for it, unless you're stealing the wires from the VTX header?

Yep it's wired to UART6, I removed the smart audio since I don't ever use it. The plug that the crossfire came with had pins inside the header which also fit into the vtx header plug, so I took the individual pins out and put them in there. I did the same with my R9MM and it worked (however I did solder the wires together, not put the pin inside the header for the r9mm)

Your problem is that you've re-mapped the original resource (C07) for "SERIAL_RX 6" to "SERVO 1". So you no longer have a full RX/TX functionality on UART6.

Is there any reason you've done that? Are you trying to use a servo for something?

Oops! Well however I did that, I certainly did not mean to since I have no servos! How do I change it back?

If you run the following commands in the CLI, that will fix it...

Code:
resource SERVO 1 NONE
resource SERIAL_RX 6 C07
save

Thank you both! You're both lifesavers and I don't know what I would do without this website!!! Works a treat now

Hey guys, I'm having a similar issue. I went through the CLI dump but everything seems fine. Can you please check over my CLI dump to see if you can spot something? I have the Crossfire Nano RX set to UART3 and wired to RX3 and TX3 on a XILO F4 board. Thanks in advance Heart

here is the CLI dump since it's too long to post on here

Run the following commands in the CLI and then check for stick movements again in the Receiver tab...

Code:
serial 0 0 115200 57600 0 115200
save

Worked like a charm. Thank you so much for the quick reply!  Heart Heart Heart
