upstream data stops (ie. the bluetooth device is disconnected), downstream
telemetry data is no longer sent to the bluetooth connection. This setting is designed
to prevent overflow of the bluetooth module’s buffer which occurs when data is sent
to the module and no device is connected to receive it. When this happens,
bluetooth will not work until the DragonLink transmitter has been power-cycled
(reset).
In order to use receive-only telemetry (ie. with a device that does not send MavLink
heartbeats) this setting should be
disabled.
In this state, the user should be aware
that disconnecting the bluetooth device while the telemetry stream is active will
cause the module to crash and require reset of the DragonLink transmitter.
NOTE: This issue does not affect newer Slim transmitters with an
updated bluetooth module and thus, this setting has no effect.
