RTK Torch 3rd Profile - Seems to kill Bluetooth? Factory Defaults Profile 4 too?

GPS/GNSS
1

I am setting up Profiles on my RTK Torch to try and deal with the different surroundings I use the Torch in. On my 3rd Profile, with PointPerfect Enabled and Flex MQTT (Deprecated) set, my BlueTooth seems to die. The configuration shows both types of BlueTooth active, but my Up/Down Arrows on the body of the Torch Remain on Constant. No blinking. And the Torch is not visible via iPhone or Android Tablet over bluetooth.

I’m using serial configuration because WEB Config doesn’t have the FLEX MQTT option?

If I double click Torch On/Off button and go into WEB Config PointPerfect Flex MQTT is not an option only Flex NTRIP/RTCM

Could someone who uses RTK Torch and PointPerfect print out their Profile?

I used the SERIAL connection to tell Profile #4 to use Factory Defaults, gave the profile a name, and activated that Profile #4. Up/Down Arrows stay lighted not blinking, and it’s not visible to BlueTooth. Next Message will be the print out of the generic profile

Profile 4 at Factory Defaults and not showing up in SW MAPS on iPhone or Android via Blue Tooth

Hi Chris (@ChrisO ),

Many thanks for the report. We will investigate. Tagging @sparky so he is aware.

My notes so far:

** Bluetooth SPP and BLE broadcasting as: **

That’s worrying. It means the deviceName hasn’t been set. That should be set whenever bluetoothStart() is called - on entering Rover or Base mode, or when the Bluetooth Mode is changed.

bluetoothRadioType=2 is correct. That’s the Classic + BLE (SPP + BLE) “Dual” option.

sppTxQueueSize=32 seems small. But that’s the correct default value. Note to self: I thought this should be more like 512 bytes?

WEB Config doesn’t have the FLEX MQTT option

Yes, sorry, that will be fixed in the next release.

Best wishes,
Paul

WEB Config doesn’t have the FLEX MQTT option

Yep, that was my fault. As Paul points out, the fix is already in the release candidate.

sppTxQueueSize=32

This is correct. It’s been 32 since the beginning. The RX que is the larger, more important one.

outputTipAltitude=327680

That’s oddly a 15-bit number + 0. Unrelated, but looks wrong.

I have poor access to Torch hardware today but will try to replicate shortly.

5

I tested by using the menus to reset profile 3 thru 8 to Factory Defaults, then sent a profile name for one of them, and just tried using the profile with no other changes.

Then just started with some simple configuration updates, turn off E6 Corrections turn on PointPerfect corrections etc, and it broke Blue Tooth connection. And I hadn’t changed that. I’ll watch for production release. I have enough trouble getting the Torch to RTK Fix in my operational area as it is (east Tennessee) with deep valleys, thick woods, poor cell signal that can go from 2 bars to no bars in 200 ft of distance…. so Beta testing is not an option.

Thanks for your support.

6

and Profile 2 seems to activate Blue Tooth ok…. so for now I will just toggle between Profile 1 and 2.

is there a STATUS Message I can turn on so the active profile name scrolls by occasionally along with the other status items I monitor?

Since I have so much trouble with corrections and keeping RTK FIX, I have the Correction Source status scroll by, as well as Wifi Status and IP

It’s being stored as a 32-bit value in the settings entries. It should be _bool. I’ll add a fix for this.

{ 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ALL, _uint32_t, 0, & settings.outputTipAltitude, "outputTipAltitude",  },

Looks like Bluetooth cannot be activated on Profile 2 either, tried all Blue Tooth settings and Torch remained invisible…. to both iPhone and Android tablet….

9

Seems like if you don’t HARD BOOT the torch you can get Bluetooth to fail as you change Profiles. I changed back to Profile 1 and tried the 3 different active Blue tooth settings and neither iPhone or Android tablet would connect to the Torch, but after a hard boot of Torch with profile 1 (one) I could connect…. some strange behavior for sure…

10

Maybe part of my RTK FIX failures have actually been more about Bluetooth failures??

Hi Chris (@ChrisO ),

(Tagging @sparky )

Thanks for reporting this issue. It looks like I can replicate it. I am investigating. My notes are at the link below. I will post updates there as I work through this.

All the best,
Paul

Definitely some strange things going on. Once you have profile names even on Profile 1, if I change settings for BlueTooth with the proper PointPerfect config, sometimes WiFi won’t start thinking there is “No Consumers”? However if I power off and back on, sometimes BlueTooth will come back on, but sometimes it will not connect to my Android or iPhone (in SW MAPS) Another power cycle and then it does.
