OK everything is installed and the sound board powers up. I removed OEM beeper and transistor. I get a beep when powering up from ArduVoice. I enabled M'sound serial in hardware mode and changed mode sound to Megasound. How do I setup what file plays for whatever switch is toggled ? Or is that the ...

The only thing I haven’t got working yet is the volume control from one of the pots....must be doing something wrong! Go to "Model Setup / General", Scroll down to "Volume Control" and select the Pot you want to control the volume with. @Mike I have just tested this, the volume ...

Hi, after your recent PMs, thought I’d have a look in here as it’s been some time.... Regarding your questions:- 1. I didn’t remove the resistors on mine and all seems to work ok. 2. I did remove the original beeper and connected to the new board instead. Beeps work well. The only thing I haven’t go...

Hi, sorry little granddaughter turned up so I couldn't try your last suggestion until just now....all downloaded/installed ok.
Cheers for that
Don

Sorry but I can't open a .psv file....what do I need to do that?
Don

I've not tried that one yet....I've been using Acepela / Audacity and also recording some others with my own voice to make "amusing" ones
Cheers Don

Yes, that works !!! I'd spent ages trying to figure it out but hadn't just grasped the concept. I've got a Taranis (OpenTx), a 9x with 9xtreme (Ersky9x) and this 9X (Er9x) with the voice mod and each requires something a bit different....I was getting a bit confused but its all sorted now. I'd be ou...

Ok thanks, I'll try that
Cheers Don

Hello, another question please....is it supposed to be possible to upload new voice files to the SD card, using the serial adapter ? If it is, I haven't figured out how to yet, I have to take the SD card out of the radio each time. I can access the "models" on the SD card using Epee, but t...

I read on the er9x development thread that there was an error with the SVN: er9x-r821 label and it showed r820 by mistake. My 9X shows this on the version page:- VERS: v1.748-Mike DATE: 30.11.2016 TIME: 13:14:21 SVN: er9x-r820 MOD: FRSKY 128 The date apparently confirms that it is actually r821 Chee...

I realised that at the time I was trying to setup the audio alarms, I had "beeper" set to "Quiet".....that's where I was going wrong.....once I set it differently, everything then worked ok. Another case of "Operator error" 🙄 Thanks to both of you for helping sort out h...

Yes, I hear the beeps ok. I isolated the pcb track to the original beeper and connected it to the new voice board. This has reminded me that I'm not certain I've got the correct value of capacitor C7....I slipped up with the order for components and had to source this particular capacitor from old s...

Hi, I have noticed that when trying to program a "Voice" alarm, using an "Audio" filetype, none of the files....Ring, Cheep, SciFi etc.... work at all. All actual voice files from the SD card work ok, just not these sound effects which I have understand are built in to ER9X. Shou...

Hi, yes I have just found a schematic and realised that after I had posted....apologies
Don

Hi I can't see the pictures either..... If it helps, I have just made a voice module as shown in this thread, but I did not remove the resistors....it works ok. I'm not certain, but think once the trim wires are moved to the voice module, the resistors are then open circuit, but I'm open to correcti...

Right, success with reading & writing to the sd card....worked ok when I tried a different FTDI adapter. I'm very happy now that everything works ok, the only minor problem is that the radio doesn't always play the "Welcome message" when switching on. I haven't tried it enough to see i...

Hi, after a bit of delay from the ebay seller, I finally received my micro sd card board today and once installed, the first two cards I tried didn't work in it at all but the third one did and I was able to backup models to the card etc. and get voice alarms working ! I had to transfer the voice fi...

Brilliant, that's answered my question ! Thank you very much to both yourself and Mike and the other contributors to this thread for giving me the confidence to make something that actually works without having the full understanding of it. I enjoyed making the stripboard version.....it's the sort o...

Hello again, I have now built my voice module and have installed it in the 9X and done all the wiring etc. except for the SD card board, which I'm still waiting for. Loaded the bootloader and firmware as per the 1st post, all went well and everything seems to work so far.... I'm still a bit uncertai...

Thanks again, I now understand and will order all the parts and have a go.
Cheers
Don

I was a bit confused at first over the programming, regarding the references to loading bootloader and firmware but having just read it all again, I take it that it is meaning just to the voice module....not to the radio itself ? If I'm wrong please let me know.
Thanks
Don

Thanks for that quick reply....that's one step closer

Hi, I have read through this thread a few times now and have a couple of questions for Joao or Mike if that's ok.... I have a 9X with the 128 processor, Smartieparts 2.4 board and Telemetrez board, running latest ER9x. I'm interested in making the stripboard version of the voice board but am not sur...

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply....I use an XJT module in this particular 9X and it was when I read something you had posted elsewhere about the baud rate, revision r90 etc. that the penny dropped for getting OpenTX to work without the switch error. I'm really only experimenting (and learning), as I'd...

I was pretty sure it would be a firmware problem....tried reverting the Telemetrez firmware to r86 and all is well.
The smartieparts 2.4 board has made all this so easy.
Cheers Don

Hi, I have been searching various forums and threads for help with a problem for some time, but without success.....hoping someone here may be able to help? I have a spare Turnigy 9X 128 transmitter that is fitted with a Smartieparts 2.4 board, plus Telemetrez. The latter board is loaded with Teleme...

Hi, I was thinking about ordering a second 9Xtreme board to modify another 9X I have that still has a rev 2.4 programmer board plus Telemetrez board installed.....all working ok. I would definitely be interested in a "V2" 9xtreme with those mods mentioned, but totally understand your situa...

Hi, I have also witnessed the display going completely blank a few times.....the scenario was that I was part way through developing a mixer for crow braking on an electric powered glider, but was using the P1 pot to control the braking at the time, not the throttle stick, which was to come next. A ...

Hey that's good news.....you've been very patient, so well done !

Cheers Don

@gb21914 and @MikeB... How about gb21914 sends Mike his 9Xtreme, I send a new 9Xtreme to gb21914? There's shipping costs and time involved so it isn't necessarily a no-brainer... but probably easier to diagnose than doing it remotely like this? That's a great idea.....as I've said, I'm totally happ...
