script syntax error bad argument #1 to 'writ

All I see is "script syntax error bad argument #1 to 'writ"

Based on the error that you provided, it greatly isolates what the problem could be. It seems that it's trying to write to the config.dat file but it can't. My guess is that's because you didn't copy over the iNav folder that's included in the TELEMETRY folder.

Both the iNav.lua and the iNav folder need to be moved to the TELEMETRY folder on your transmitter's SD card. See the INAV Lua Telemetry Screen Setup for more details (specifically step 2). I'll clarify step 2 to state that BOTH the iNav.lua file and iNav folder must be copied. I'll also look into creating an error if this folder doesn't exist (or at least not causing the script to crash).

Let me know what happens.

I can confirm that if the iNav folder doesn't exist the script will indeed throw this error. This will be addressed in v1.2.5

@shaiss I've created a more graceful error message if the iNav folder doesn't exist. You can download this development version here.

But, you'll also need to move the iNav folder to your transmitter's SD card as well to get past the more graceful error message. The iNav folder contains the sound files that Lua Telemetry uses as well as where it creates a config file used for your custom configuration. The error happened because it previously assumed the iNav folder existed and tried to create your config file the first time you ran Lua Telemetry. With 1.2.5 it now first checks to see if it can create the file before writing to it. If it can't create the config file, it throws a graceful error telling you what's up.

Resolved with PR #106 v1.2.5 now available for download

I'll give it a try tomorrow and report back! Thx for addressing!

@shaiss If you could, just update the iNav.lua script first, which should give you a more specific message (and not crash). The upgrade to 1.2.5 won't really fix the problem, but it at least will tell you what's wrong. Then, move over the iNav folder from to the TELEMETRY folder, which is the real solution to the issue. But, any feedback would be appreciated.

[shaiss]

will do that over the next day or two and get back to you!
