# RSSI
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RSSI is a measurement of signal strength. RSSI is very handy so you know when you are going out of range or there is interference.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some receivers have RSSI outputs. 3 types are supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. RSSI via PPM channel
|
||
|
|
2. RSSI via Parallel PWM channel
|
||
|
|
3. RSSI via PWM with PPM RC that does not have RSSI output - aka RSSI PWM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## RSSI via PPM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configure your receiver to output RSSI on a spare channel, then select the channel used via the cli.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
e.g. if you used channel 1 then you would set:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
set rssi_channel = 1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## RSSI via Parallel PWM channel
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Connect the RSSI signal to any PWM input channel then set the RSSI channel as you would for RSSI via PPM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## RSSI PWM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Connect the RSSI PWM signal to the RC2/CH2 input.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enable using the RSSI_PWM feature:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
feature RSSI_PWM
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The feature can not be used when RX_PARALLEL_PWM is enabled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### RSSI PWM Providers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When using RSSI PWM it is possible to use standard ~18ms RSSI signals or a faster 1khz/1m RSSI signal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The RSSI output on the FrSky X8R (and probably the FrSky X6R) is 1khz.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To support the 1khz rate enable it via the cli:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
set rssi_pwm_provider = 1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Value | Meaning |
|
||
|
|
| ----- | ----------- |
|
||
|
|
| 0 | ~18ms pulse |
|
||
|
|
| 1 | 1ms pulse |
