Setup and Configuration tabs will not save when using AT32 FC

[robhaswell]

Describe the bug

With the following combinations:

• BETAFPVF435 or NEUTRONRCF435
• Apple M2 16" MBP
• master betaflight and nightly configurators

I have an issue where changes to the Ports or Configuration tabs do not save. Upon pressing Save, a warning is generated in the console and the connection becomes unresponsive, until the FC is replugged. I have experienced this with two AT32 FCs and this issue has been present for me in nightly configurator builds since I got these a few weeks ago.

What does work:

• These tabs work with STM32 FCs.
• These tabs work on AT32 using my Windows machine. The BF developer Un!t also has tested this on Linux.
• Other tabs work as expected - Presets, Modes, OSD and CLI are the ones I have used.
• Setting the values on these tabs using the CLI also works.

Here is a screenshot of the error, in this situation I tested making two changes to Modes before triggering the bug:

To Reproduce

1. Use the hardware configuration above.
2. Plug in the FC.
3. Navigate to the Configuration tab.
4. Enter " 2" after the pilot name.
5. Press save.
6. Observe the bug.

Expected behavior

Settings are saved and the FC reboots.

Add any other context about the problem that you think might be relevant here

Un!t has been helping me with this, and suggested desoldering the FC, which I did - no change.

[haslinghuis]

Please check build: #3511

[haslinghuis]

Also might be relevant: #3512 as code 37 is MSP_SET_FEATURE_CONFIG

[robhaswell]

Thanks. I'm racing tomorrow so don't wanna change anything now. But will test when I get back.

[robhaswell]

Please check build: #3511

This has the same issue.

[robhaswell]

Also might be relevant: #3512 as code 37 is MSP_SET_FEATURE_CONFIG

This also has the same issue.

As it works on Linux this issue will be hard to debug without access to an Apple M2 16" MBP.

I have the same problem I can’t save and reboot in ports and configuration tab in motors and receiver it works. I tested this on 2 different Mac’s and multiple nighty builds but to no luck, both the Mac’s where intel Mac’s but different models. I was able to configure it with my old android phone so now I can use the bt nano 3 module to configure it with my iPhone

[sugaarK]

I have an intel Mac not an m2

[robhaswell]

I have an intel Mac not an m2

It seems that the issue is present on Intel macs as well.

[robhaswell]

I can confirm that this issue is still present in RC2.

[nerdCopter]

could potentially invoke os.release() to to get os versions to set differing NWjs versions, but such would be a painful mess.

https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v20.x/docs/api/os.html#osrelease

https://dev.to/thejaredwilcurt/guide-to-nw-js-versions-5d38

edit: found a problem with this idea. it is built on modern "release", so any logic will still choose a modern NWjs. and as such still fails to run on older OSX.

[haslinghuis]

@robhaswell did you try #3695 ???

[Yamboss]

im having the same problems i was sure it was just a run of bad boards- thank you for letting me know its my mac- ill use a PC for this one again huge thanks !

[haslinghuis]

@robhaswell can you try https://app.betaflight.com with chromium / chrome browser?

[robhaswell]

@haslinghuis I'm afraid it still doesn't work on https://app.betaflight.com/

[haslinghuis]

Was kind of expecting that. Issue is an combination of firmware and platform used.

[Yamboss]

thanks for the update i did had to use windows unfortunately... best of luck !
