Re: Use OpenTx to send and receive UART data ?

Excellent that would be great.
Of course this will require those specific RX's with specific telemetry support.

I have one that suports the bi-directional link but ended up never trying it, may give it a go in the mean time while I wait for v2.1. ;)

Re: Use OpenTx to send and receive UART data ?

Sorry to dig out this thread but the question is directly related to it. Does the latest version of openTX allow to send data from the TX to the RX using for example a LUA script? FrSky allows for basic two way comunication ( FrSky 2Way Protocol ) and there is comunication from the radio into the fr...

Re: Warming/Alarm at half timer count

Woow you rock Mike. Thanks!

I actually did the mod on my 9x but I think the piezzo buzzer isn't that great. So if this works better with the stock buzzer
I don't mind reverting back to it.

Going to set that up.
Thanks again.

Warming/Alarm at half timer count

Hi all, I was trying to find a way to set this option but so far I haven't found it. (still searching...) The idea was to have the radio make a different sound when it reaches half the timer count, at the moment I have it set to beep at every minute. But when I have like 7 to 10 minutes set, I easil...

Updating splash of ER9X 128 corrupts HEX.

Hi, I was flashing the latest release 806 for ER9x and as usual I swapped the logo. But after flashing it doesn't work, the radio doesn't even start. So it seems that it somehow corrupts the FW. The EEPE seems to read/write correctly the splash in the HEX file but somehow it is corrupting the HEX. F...

Re: FrSky telemetry mod without RS232 level converter

Well with mine that combination doesn't work.
It was tricky to solder the 0306 SMD 1K, but I may well do that to change it to a 10K.
But at least it's working now, even using the pins of the back of the DJT module.

Re: FrSky telemetry mod without RS232 level converter

Well I'm still checking it.
So far I traced all the way to the pins on the 9x module slot and it's fine.
The er9x FW fetches the alarms thresholds right after we turn on the radio.

I'll keep checking it all up until the uC itself. :)

Re: FrSky telemetry mod without RS232 level converter

Ehehe! :)
It's better to use the R notation. So you've used a 47R resistor. :)

I'll try to change it today to a SMD 10K (if I don't find any 47R at home) and see how it goes.
