Syntax error on OpenTX 2.2.3

[ljfh001]

I keep getting Syntax error with OpenTX 2.2.3. Does the current version work with OpenTX 2.2.3?

Hi,

Installed OpenTX 2.2.3 on my Taranis x9d+.
Downloaded the Lua 1.1.0 and modified the pre9x lua for vtx page to be first.
Then I deleted the pre9x.luac and copied everything to the taranis.
Works fine here.

Best Regards

I tested with R9 + R9 mini. It does work the first time when I launch it, but after launching it again getting syntax error complaining about radio not defined.

I can see the lauc files got modified after the first run, then the next time when I launch it stopped working.

Sounds like opentx compiles the script even if the luac files supplied with BF lua script are up to date. Did you have luac checked when you downloaded opentx? If so, have you tried with luac unchecked?

[ljfh001]

Yes, I have luac checked for opentx. I also tried with luac unchecked. It worked the first time when I launched it. The subsequent runs causes out of memory errors.

Strange. radio not defined would indicate that radios.lua wasn't loaded. Can't see any obvious reasons to why, but something might have changed in version 2.2.3. There are other reports of similar problems with 2.2.3.

I finally got more time do some additional testing. I think this is related to the old 'out of memory' error. I'm using a x9d+. Everything now works if I just delete the horus and x7 dir. The LUA scripts have grew the memory footprint by a lot with the addition of all these new features. I think we're at the limit again.

But when it runs out of memory, it will just stop the script and tell you that it ran out of memory. I just tried 2.2.3 on my QX7 + R-XSR with no issue. Did it work with 2.2.2? Tried it without flex firmware?
Problems with R9 + flex firmware + 2.2.3 in #177 too.

[ljfh001]

I did have r9flex checked for opentx 2.2.3. Maybe that uses additional memory.
From my observation, it seems opentx 2.2.3 recompiles lauc's at runtime even though the pre-compiled lauc files already exist. I think what happens is that the luac files got corrupted when it runs out of memory. I see sometimes the bad lauc files are 0 in size.
