I´m stuck in the 4:08, I have a PNP quad using dji controller 2, witch radio protocol should I use? Is giving me an error about the port. UPDATE: the error in the port was solved just updating the drivers, after that I installed the new 4.5, follow all the steps and the controller was not working, the BT OSD in the googles was not there, but both were linked to the quad.

Yes it does. Carbon fiber FPV drones, generally speaking, are much more durable than plastic ones. I personally smashed to pieces, no less than 2 DJI FPV Potatoes when I was first learning to fly. In contrast, I've now built 13 "real" FPV drones and have only broken 2 arms, a top plate, and a bottom plate. Not all on the same quad, either. They were easily fixed and are all in flyable condition today.

I'm not sure why you and everyone else says you can't just load the backup from the presets tab. I have been doing that since 4.3. You'll get a couple random errors like craft name and a couple other things. But all the main things like your PID values, ports, etc all come in fine. I've updated 4.3 quads to 4.5 with this method and 4.4 quads to 4.5. I have yet to have a single quad have an issue updating this way. And when you do update straight from the backup, you can scroll down through the CLI commands and see the couple errors and just go back into your settings and fix the one or two things that changed like the craft name. Why is this wrong if it works? And why would I manually copy and paste things when that's exactly what loading the backup does?
@MountaineerFPV7 ай бұрын
Yup
@CantFly_FPV7 ай бұрын
I think it's a precaution because I think a lot of people would just restore the backup after update and not realize some items will have failed. The other concern is that the functionality of a setting might have changed and even changing it to the value from the previous version might not be the correct value. For example (and this is only an example and not a real world issue, it only illustrates my point) A few versions back Betaflight changed the way it measures CPU Utilization and the display % changed on average. If you had a setting that would trigger something to happen at 60% utilization (because 60% was more like 90%), but now 60% is no longer considered high and would be wrong. 0-100% is still a valid setting but you would need to set the value to 90% in the new version but the config would have set it to 60. Hope that makes sense and this is only speculative on my part.
@JoshuaBardwell7 ай бұрын
This may seem to work fine, and it may work fine sometimes. But for example, some defaults about the PIDs may have changed in the new version, and copying the diff in may overwrite those defaults with new values that are not appropriate. It's a risk, and it's not recommended.

Some of us devs are here reading the comments for suggestions already 😅 We're aware of the issues some people are having with older saves, JB doesn't need to remind us. There's a lot that can go wrong when automatically converting old values to something that was changed. Not everything may translate directly, some things have been added, some have been removed entirely. Commenting/removing incorrect lines is the safest approach, as that value will now fall back to the default which is good for almost every build. The more involved settings that come with some new features require full setup either way. What I personally do is to keep backups of mostly constant settings - Actual rates, OSD elements and layout, RX config, modes, etc... . Those are then loaded with no issue, and I can set up the few remaining things myself if need be
@seb-depp7 ай бұрын
@@Vitroid First: Great that you read this and thanks for the great work you do. Still: couldn't there be a process that auto-"translates" stuff that is save (you're the ones who know what is) and either put to default new settings what is not safe or ask the user about unsafe stuff "do you really" with for example check boxes? What JB does here is of course a great help but I'd love to keep my settings say on a BNF. My Nazgul for example is still on 4.3 because "the boss doesn't like 4.4" (as they told me in a mail) and they don't publish a CLI dump. As I have no idea what iFlight did in their build I hesitate to just put the defaults on. I'll update my own build once the final release of 4.5 drops as I didn't tune anything...
@Vitroid7 ай бұрын
@@seb-depp iFlight is one of the biggest BNF manufacturers, they get a ton of support requests, and those support requests mostly consist of people messing up their configuration from flashing. They are very insistent on keeping users on whatever the factory default is as is visible from some of the support articles 🤣 Some of what you described already happens: 4.3 tunes can be more or less kept for 4.5, some settings have changed, but since they fall back to defaults, it's more or less fine. If you don't transfer over the tune, you can apply one of many available presets. I am a big fan of that new system, you'll find a tune for basically anything. 5" quads will fly pretty well even on defaults, with presets you can probably get within 10 or 5% of the iflight tune, if not basically the same. Renamed commands fail by principle, and invalid properties are ignored in favor of defaults. When errors are found, it will prevent saving, highlight everything that's incorrect, and prompt the user either to remove them, or continue the save regardless. Conversion tools have been discussed many times, but have been deemed unnecessary given the resources available to touch up anything that was missed. Maybe iFlight will make up to date presets for 4.5, the GPS upgrades will probably pull enough people over for them to consider it worth their time
