Project description:
Firmware modification for the FlySky i6 based on modified firware developed by dave borthwick.
Latest version available on Release page:
https://github.com/qba667/FlySkyI6/releases
Oryginal multiplatform updater by mhils:
https://github.com/mhils/flysky-updater
Improved version:
- Handling file size correctly
- Autodetection of serial ports
- Autodetection of FW files
28 bytes telemetry data only with IA6B after patching - firmware can be found in my other repository. There is also version sending IBus channel data and telemetry on same wire (serial port):
https://github.com/qba667/MAVLinkToIbus/tree/master/IA6B
How to update firmware can be found in povlhp repository. https://github.com/povlhp/FlySkyRxFirmware
New FW can be copied to update directory - updater will detect it automatically.
Steps to update:
- Download, extract latest revision of the mod
- Enter firmware update mode - from menu or by moving 2 trims to center
- Run Updater - select serial port if necessary
In case if you want to support the project and reward me the time I spent on the FW please click this affiliate link when shopping at Banggood - It is free for you, but I will get reward from Banggood:
