About the spray, wouldn't contact spray short the contacts of the board?
What else could I use on the board?
By the way the unit works fine for now.

Update:
trying to de-solder the faulty switch and when applying heat with the soldering iron, the water from inside the switch evaporated and the switch works!
going to heat treat all the rest of the switches...
Thanks for your help...

I will give it a try and see what happens. The board should't have been damaged because the water was clean rain water...

Hi, Need some help here... My Taranis (Amodel) was left overnight on heavy rain turned ON!!! dont ask how!! Any way after dissembly and drying the unit i got it working again except switches A, B and D. The switches themselves work as the should but they aren't recognized. Switch A works any now and...

Ok. Thanks for the input.
I will probably let it go....

Hi. I am thinking for quite some time a solution to load my taranis with lipo-life li-ion or whatever large capacity battery but i also want to charg it without removing it from the radio. i found these boards http://www.ebay.com/itm/131188467386?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l264...

Any thoughts for on board lipo charger-balancer? I am sure I've seen some single cell chargers. Any one done something similar. It is a good thing to need only 12 or 5v to charge and balance without removing the battery. Something like this for each cell powered from a common 5v source... http://www...

Got it.
Thanks

Hi.
I am flying multicopter a with my taranis and the trims are useless. Is there any way I can use the trims as an input to control channels?
Thanks

Any updates on this?
I am using it with good results except some "telemetry lost" warnings every now and then...

A Chinese one from ebay. The one with the square, printer like, USB plug

I have on order a new ftdi breakout board. It might be it, although it doesnt explain why it worked with the old versions...

Job done! now i have voltage on A2. i used one of the voltage dividers that i had on my other frsky receivers, wrapped with the promini and taped on the rx. Small package and gets the job done. Now what about a current sensor to go with this? Thank you Mike and João for your help on this, I almost l...

If so you can try to program the sketch with the usbasp making sure you connect to the right pins, select the right port for it, and then press "Shift" on your keyboard at the same time you click the "upload" button. That will upload the code using a programmer. I use that a lot...

Thanks. I will give it a try later this evening and let you know how it goes...

That's interesting! Are the ISP pins available on the pro mini or I have to solder on the chip?

jhsa wrote:that is strange.. it looks like it might be something with the FTDI then.. Did you select the correct port for the FTDI?
Sorry if this was already mentioned..
João

Yes. Confirmed because I can load code with older versions.
Any way to change the .ino to .pde?

did try another promini with same results, installed and uninstalled every version above and below V1, all the oo2x versions work all v1 versions don't. I used duemilanove and it worked, i used nano and also worked. I used duemilenove as ftdi and didnt work! Any way i loaded the code to a nano with ...

i can send you my promini to flash it because im getting crazy with it...

I cant figure it out. the error is about the communication of the pc with the arduino. Why the asduino 0022 works and arduino 1.0.5 doesn't? Also tried with a different pc, same results. ftdi and promini works since i can upload code with the old ide right? The net is full with people having the sam...

Yes.

Changing the .ino to .pde doesn't compile on old ide...

jhsa wrote:Did you select the right board? are you using a FTDI adapter? Is this adapter the right way round? with some arduino clones ordered from China, the FTDI connections are inverted. Please check the connections..

João

Yes every thing connected fine. that's why it loads code using the old 0022 ide...

Hi. I sat down to make a arduino promini telemetry adapter as described here but having some hard time with the arduino ide. On arduino 0022 loaded on my pc for ages ( back when i was building multi wii) it uploads some test codes without problem. the new version of arduino ide, (using same port and...

Didn't know it was intended. Coming from er9x I was expecting 10-9-8...
I will delete the file.
Thanks.

After "10 seconds" is announced it keeps repeating the 10 seconds message 10 times...

Hi.
I know it's been reported but any one have a fix for the problem on countdown after the 10 seconds?

Any mod to the x8 Rx to get the A1 available for external voltage? ( disconnect from the Vin of the receiver)

Speaking of Taranis, any body knows if and when it is going to be available to Europe?

I see mike beat me to it and his description covers all 5 positions...
