What settings should I be using on the 9x? Should I use HUB protocol or none? EDIT: Got it working finally, and I can see some values on the 9x. heading is spot on, GPS LAT/LON is good, but I'm not sure about anything else? None of these numbers make sense I think I've tried both, and not got every...

I gather from a quick look around that the source code has not changed in a year, and the bugs we had a year ago are still the same bugs ? I had moved on to using a 3DR Pixhawk instead of APM 2.6, and the internal Frsky protocol conversion in that works very well, a pleasure to use. However I have p...

I tried to get this patched file but the link or file is missing or wrong.

If mmib is still around, what did you change in your patch ?

OK. I'm going to both start and finish my own thread :) The problem has been solved. Did anybody know there are two types of pin out for the USBasp devices ? I didn't. Type one has four ground pins. Pins 4, 6, 8, 10. Type two has MCU programming line on pins 4, 6. Ground on only pins 8, 10. On this ...

Hi guys, Helping a friend setup a Turnigy 9X with new models, and it's had OpenTX flashed on it and a permanently UABasp and USB connector fitted, it has 3S Lipo battery installed on it as well. For the last month it's been working as expected, but today that changed. I was working on it to load up ...

Thanks Kilrah (you seem to pop up everywhere BTW, you must have clones :) I did the model transfer today and that was what happened. The model appears in the 9X list, and when opened the switches have to be corrected, that seems all. The switch from the Taranis just change to others or are blank (--...

Hi all, Is exchanging a single model setup from a Taranis radio to a Turnigy 9X radio(with OpenTX firmware on it) as simple as opening the Taranis EEPE file and T9X EEPE files in Companion and dragging a single model across to the T9X model list ? I wonder if there is a trap to that, as the radios d...

Good to hear the APM is working for you Bo, I'm really enjoy using my setup now. I previously used a 32bit flight controller called a FreeFlight V1.3, which was electronically identical to a Naze32. After a lot of tinkering with that board and many many firmware and PID tweaks I found the APM a real...

Looks like I monologuing on this thread a bit :) I did a flight test today with a newly completed custom built quad and the Arduino mini IO-board with the MavLink to FrSky firmware V0.5, and took a photo of the Taranis telemetry screen for info. Before I mention that though I did have a win with the...

By the way. Can anyone point me to a How-To that shows the right settings for the Telemetry Tab settings of the Companion9X software for Taranis configuration ? There are quite few options like the Serial protocol 'source' inputs and vario selection etc. Rather than every newbie just trying every op...

It has the built in, & I have an external one coming. I'm sure the Heading display is just a software omission somewhere. :) I flew yesterday and kept it in the pasture WITHOUT the heading data. A first for me! :) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk That's interesting, I'd have thought it woul...

Bo.
Does your APM have a mag chip ?

Bobarry, I did as you suggested and put a series resistor between the IO-board D5 and the FrSky RX data input. Didn't help. To make sure that it's not that sort of issue I fitted a 100k trim pot instead and dialled it from end to end. Doesn't help either. What I did note was that after a reset and w...

Yep I loaded the. 05 Hex file for the ioboard/telemetry & picked up a couple more variables (RPM & fuel), but no heading. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Bobarry, when I did get data through to the Taranis yesterday (after a IO-board reset) I do get a real heading value on it when not ...

Hi guys. I've just put together a Pro Mini board with the 0.5 firmware loaded on it and added it to my Quadcopter that's running an APM2.5 with firmware 3.1rc5. I'm having some strange issues though, in getting it to display on a Taranis radio without having to reset the board. What I finding is tha...
