State of Companion Software

[cmorty]

I tried to get the companion software to run (I'm new to opentx) and read out the config from my remote. Besides some bugs I had to fix in the build system and the code, it seems to be in an in-between-state at quite a few places. Is there any effort going to support the i6x in the companion software? Is it worth finding a different version of the companion software and use that to add support?

Hi, there is no ongoing work on companion. I guess the best way would be to work on latest OpenTX branch because current OpenI6X codebase related to it is old and most probably broken.

Work has started on a Companion port, stay tuned :)

Is there a fork or link we should watch regarding the Companion Port? Thanks!

Is there currently a way to configure Openi6X with Companion?
I'm new to this.
I downloaded and installed the newest Companion (v.2.10.5) for Windows x64 from the EdgeTX website. I then connected my i6X with newest Openi6X v2.0.0 to my PC and selected "USB Storage" in the radio. My PC then shows a new drive with the files EEPROM.BIN, FIRMWARE.BIN and FIRMWARE.TXT (empty). So far, so good.

When I open Companion and click "Read Models and Settings from Radio" I get the error message "Unable to find radio SD card!". Am I missing something or is Openi6X just not compatible with Companion?

Companion support needs to be implemented (adjust data model), no one contributed to it yet.

Initial I6X Companion Support has been added in my forked repo, branch [companion-i6x-support] and tested on my Flysky i6x. Will add a release today.
