CRSF is an amazing protocol: https://github.com/tbs-fpv/tbs-crsf-spec/blob/main/crsf.md - this markdown doc in a github repo is the sole official spec of a protocol implemented by multiple manufacturers - name apparently chosen specifically to troll people who work on web stuff (where "CSRF" is the name of an entirely unrelated thing) - big endian. stop making big endian things. nobody has big endian hardware. you are just making everyone convert between the two on both ends - defines a bunch of oddly specific device addresses, but also refers to the target address field as a "sync byte". afaict absolutely nothing ever sends or expects anything but 0xC8. this includes things sent *by* the flight controller, which is the thing with address 0xC8 - if you ctrl-F "voltage", the first thing you will find is frame type 0x0E, labeled "Voltages". this does not work, the one you want is 0x08, "Battery Sensor" - the actual control inputs are sent as sixteen densely packed 11-bit integers, with 992 defined to be the center point, because fuck you that's why

    @emily@fedi.uni.horse wait, is that the air protocol or the fc->rx protocol? also any reason you didn't pick ELRS? or did you just have crsf hw already lol
