Mixer without source, kills following mixes (no more output)

[mama99de]

Is there an existing issue for this problem?

• I have searched the existing issues

What part of EdgeTX is the focus of this bug?

Transmitter firmware

Current Behavior

If for example an mixer without Source is set up, all following mixes are not working any more

In this case, starting from mix 6 no more output

Mixers without Source, can only be Set up using Companion, on the TX itself it is not possible to setup a mix without source

Expected Behavior

Mixer without source should not kill all following mixes

Steps To Reproduce

Just set up any mixer without source in Companion like here:

and mix starting from CH6 will not work any longer

Can be produced using the FRSKY Xlite or on my RM Pocket, as well as in simulation in Companion,

Version

2.10.5

Transmitter

FrSky X-Lite / S / Pro

Operating System (OS)

Windows

OS Version

Win 10

Anything else?

Mixers without Source, can only be Set up using Companion

[elecpower]

Empty source is permitted in Companion to allow conversion between incompatible radios without dropping the whole mixer line. The mixer line should either be deleted or a valid source added for compatibility with radio firmware.

[elecpower]

Suggested change to Companion is for mixer lines without source to be dropped on writing to yaml files since the user has had an opportunity to fix after conversion but failed to do so.

If they want the dropped mixer lines back they only need to reconvert and add a valid source before writing.

Sounds good, as it's *NOT* valid for the firmware.

Maybe add a warning that there are invalid mixer lines that will be deleted and let the user cancel the operation.

I suspect inputs suffer from the same issue
