Overview
This Pull Request introduces the ability to read link statistics from the CRSF data stream, using an event-driven API.
Details
CFA_Config.hpp
,CRSF_LINK_STATISTICS_ENABLED
is set to1
by default, thus enabling CRSF for Arduino's ability to read link statistics.CRSFforArduino::setLinkStatisticsCallback(serialReceiverLayer::link_statistics_t)
is used to set your desired callback function for reading the incoming link statistics.The following example highlights the new API...
Additional notes
The Link Statistics Event only fires when complete CRSF packets are received.
ExpressLRS receivers emit several Link Statistics packets for about five seconds after the receiver has gone into Fail-Safe state.
This is reliable enough to see whether-or-not the receiver has lost connection with the transmitter.
By watching the Link Quality value, we can determine the stability of the connection, plus whether-or-not there's a Fail-Safe.
