Problems connecting V5 telemetry to Pixhawk 2.4.8 (PX4 v1.16 + latest QGroundControl)
Message:
Hello everyone,
I’m currently using a Pixhawk 2.4.8 flight controller running PX4 v1.16 firmware and a V5 telemetry module.
I’m also using the latest version of QGroundControl.
When I connect the telemetry module to the Pixhawk and try to communicate through QGroundControl, I get the following messages:
- “Vehicle 1 didn’t respond to request for parameters. This will cause QGC to be unable to display its full user interface.”
- “Parameters are missing from firmware. You may be running a version of firmware which is not fully supported or your firmware has a bug in it.”
The telemetry modules are configured correctly (same NetID, baud rate 57600, air rate 64), and their LEDs show a proper link between them.
However, parameter download from the Pixhawk never completes — the progress bar stops around 50%, and QGroundControl cannot access or display the full parameter list.
I have already tried reinstalling the PX4 firmware, changing USB cables and COM ports, and reinstalling QGroundControl, but the problem persists.
Has anyone experienced this issue before, or could there be a compatibility problem between PX4 v1.16, Pixhawk 2.4.8, and V5 telemetry modules?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
— Mehmet
