Boot message appears too fast

I'm having the following issue on my RT3S: whenever I turn on the radio, the boot beep plays while the screen is dark. Then, the boot message flashes for less then a second. It is barely visible. Although this isn't too annoying, I thought I'd report the bug anyways.

I'm running the latest (2023-02-27) firmware but this was also happening with the 2022-10-19 version. I upgraded hoping it would be solved, but nothing changed.

You need to add some delay with the boot melody

If you just want silence and a delay, set the note to 0 and the delay to the length you want e.g.

0,100

I tried adding

Code: Select all

0,100
before and after the melody. I observed the following behavior:

If 0,100 is before the melody, then the screen is dark, then the melody plays after the delay, and the boot message flashes quickly (too quickly to read) just before the radio is fully working.

If however the delay is added after the melody, the screen stays dark until after the delay, the message flashes quickly and the radio is booted.

In either case, I couldn't see the boot message.

“Factory” resetting the radio settings solved this problem. I'll report it again if I am able to reproduce the issue.

OK
