I have tested only few times since I have removed the resistor and it is working better.

The bug found by you is software or hardware related?

A software bug. If you disconnect your cable while GCS is connected, and you reconnect without closing GCS, you will only be able to send data and not receive it...
I didn't test yet if it's also a problem with the GCS that is available in the download section or just my development branch.

Hi Tom,

I have done several trials today and the issue is still there ( after removing the resistor it seems that it appears not so often but it is still present).

As ground station i'm using beta4 - from download section, can you please check if the bug mentioned by you is is this release?

If yes , can you please release a new version of the GCS with the bug removed?

Thank you,
Alex

Yes, I will need to release the firmware at the same time because it contains some new features that won't work with the old firmware...
I'll try to work at it this weekend :-)

Hi Tom,

If you will release the new firmware today, I will have time to make some test-flights this weekend.

Strange, I did a virus scan with AVG and it did not find a virus... which scanner are you using?

A lot of small changes here:
- OSD fixes so it should be a lot more stable now
- new command LINK_LOSS to jump to a line on data or RC link loss (this means the groundstation constantly sends a heartbeat to the autopilot)
- the ZSurvey it a bit tweaked
