Bluetooth Controller Throttle Issue

  • Hi IPACS team and forum members,

    is anyone flying with a bluetooth controller? I noticed a strange behavior in RC10 when restarting the sim with a connected bluetooth controller, in my case a Radiomaster Pocket connected to my MacBook through the bluetooth joystick function of the ELRS module:

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Bind and connect bluetooth controller to PC/Mac
    2. Start RC10
    3. Setup the controller in RC10 (calibration, mode, assignments etc.) as a transmitter (not joystick or gamepad)
    4. Fly (all controls work as intended)
    5. Exit RC10
    6. Make sure transmitter throttle is at zero (e.g. left stick down in Mode 2)
    7. Restart RC10 and select an electric model (no idle throttle)
    8. Click "Fly"
    9. RC 10 detects a 10-20% throttle signal and the motor starts to run even though the throttle on the transmitter is still at zero. When a little throttle input is given and then the throttle is reduced back to zero, RC10 detects the true zero and reduces the throttle back to zero.
    10. The calibration screen shows all channels flickering - it looks as if RC 10 is "forgetting" the calibration?

      I can test with a bluetooth xbox controller in a few days...only have a Radiomaster pocket at the moment. So not sure if it is a Problem with my transmitter or the BT Connection in general.


    Best

  • This is not that Aerofly RC doesn't save the calibration values, it's the Mac OS driver that is doing this. We do not get proper values from the Mac OS interface unless all channels and buttons have been moved to extremal positions once!

    If you observe this on Windows as well, it's more a fault on our side and we need to investigate.
