Re: 9x been modded

Wow what a mess. The white board is a smartipsrts board designed to flash the much processor with upgraded firmware like er9x. It also adds a backlight. Not sure what the sparkfun board does but maybe it’s fixing a usb connection the smartiparts boars comes with? This sp board and er9x firmware adds...

Taranis QX7 cannot bind

The RF firmware that talks to your receiver isn’t opentx. That firmware lives in the internal xjt module. If you only flashed opentx versions, your xjt module is still fcc or EU as it was delivered. Your receiver firmware flashed does change it to fcc or EU. You want to be sure your receivers are us...

Probably what happened. Only 2 ic’s on the board left. If I replace the 16u would it need programming to be a usb interface? My intention was to repair these boards but the 16u’s cost is 1/2 of what a new Chinese clone ( these were) costs. I just ordered 3 uno clones for $18 delivered so I may hold ...

Re: Arduino Uno help

Thanks for the fast reply. I was hoping I had trashed the code in the usb ic and even if I did or had to replace it, it seems I may have to flash it. So knowing how is part of the learning process. I may have damaged one of the boards way back when I put too much voltage (12v) on one of the i/o pins...

Drive an N Mosfet directly from the ATtiny pin, or a P channrel Mosfet from an NPN transistor. In this case, base of the transistor to the Microcontroller pin, emitter to ground, and.collector to the Mosfet gate.. Place an 100K resistor between source and gate so the Mosfet can turn off..

All good ideas! My thought was to invert the code but that’s still a challenge for me. If the posted code mod does that I’ll give it a try. I’ll study the changes and what they are doing. It’s a logical option but I’m more component oriented and usually take that approach. I should stock some P chan...
