Joao, Do know of any LUA scripts for erSky9x on 9xtreme that have been posted? I need to just look at one to understand the programming syntax and commands.
Mike

Yes. It does seem odd. Neither of my other wings act this way.

Setting up a wing seems to be inconsistent. I need help. I have setup two other wings, one with a S6R and the other with S8R. I have a new S8R that is giving me fits. I am obviously doing something wrong. I have used both Sportset and latest FrSky config programs. I have also updated the unit with t...

Could you switch to erSky9x? I think that it supports a rotary encoder. I don't use companion anymore so I do not know if it supports it or not.

I have an observation with two X8Rs. Both units lost signal (manifest by loss of control) at about 200 meters when making a fairly steep turn from downwind to base. I ordered and changed both antennas from the paddle pcb to Frsky's linear unipolar antennas. The problem was solved. I have since used ...

Sounds like Twilight Zone (if you guys are old enough to remember. I will do those mods to all five of my 9xtremes. If it saves one board it is worth it, since the 9Xtreme is no longer available.
Thanks again all.
Mike

Hooooooray!!! :D Thanks to Mike, Joao, and Kal(Klause), My 9Xtreme is fixed. The STM processor was the problem. I followed Klause's STM- DeFuse settings: http://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=126&t=9679#p123655 , and used Mike's DFU file that he attached, http://openrcforums.com/forum/downlo...

Yes, Mike it did display 9xtreme on the screen and the VR did not get hot. So this points to the STM that had a short. I may need some help when it comes time to flash the chip (not sure how to work with Defuse from STM but will try to figure it out. Thanks for helping me diagnose the problem Mike, ...

Thanks for the warning Kal. I already desoldered it. I am a plastic surgeon with a microscope and lots of patience. It came off with no collateral damage. Now I am awaiting the STM chip. Also Joao, I took the SD card out as you suggested and the vr still got hot. I sure hope that the new STM chip do...

Thanks, I will order a central processor. It will take a few days to get here. Then I will let you all know what happens. Also I found Kal's recent topic and experience which outlines how to program a new chip.

Also, I found the VR and ARM2 at DigiKey. The VR with that number has a 2.5v output. Is that ok?

Ok, I found one very hot chip with a label of 662.. So I assume that is the 3.3v regulator. I traced the circuit as best as I could visually and did not find any other hot chip. Where might I look next?

Thanks Joao and Mike. I will check tomorrow and order the parts if necessary. I will follow up when checked.

Anyone else that might help please chime in. Steve said that he doesn't quite know where to start looking. I since have put a recovered 9x motherboard (with 2561) under the 9Xtreme board. It came from a functioning 9x, I am getting 12v at the vbatt via, 5v at the 5v via, and 1v at the 3v via on the ...

S_mac, I just lost one of 5 9xtreme boards. I was trying to flash an orange module with muti protocol firmware and accidently put 12v onto either the clk pin(most bottom in the module bay) or the data pin(topmost pin). I can not find any burned or distorted chips or traces on either the 9xtreme or t...

If you still have not sold it, I will buy it.

Thinepa, I am not familiar with MAC, but it appears that "voice" is your main directory and the others are subdirectories. All should be in the root directory along with "voice" directory.

Please do, your work here looks great!

I gave up trying to get the BNF version to bind to any of my dsmx, dsm2 or orange multi. I removed the Spectrum Rx replaced it with a X8R Rx. I used pwm jumpers to the FC. It works well. Guess I wasted the extra money for the BNF (Spectrum Rx). Actually Santa wasted his money. I did not tell my wife...

Joao,
I have the newer replacement boards that have a m128 in 4 9xs that also have 9Xtremes. I will run your test latter this morning on all of them and post.
Mike

Stormister, Sounds like you are using too much heat. This maybe from too big of a tip or contact for too long. I would suggest looking on YouTube as there are many excellent videos on good soldering technique. You will need good flux and leaded solder. Pre tin both wire and pad. Load your small flat...

I just ordered a fourth board to upgrade my fourth 9x. A version 2 sounds good, but I wonder if the market is becoming saturated. From a business point of view I understand if you need to discontinue. I hope not, but with four Txs now upgraded unless there were very significant upgrades I and maybe ...

"Unfortunately, 6BA screws are a bit hard to come by in the US. Do you think M2.5 or M3 screws will work? They are a bit easier to find. " Another option that was worked well for me is to drill and tap for 3mm. This avoids splitting the fragile posts. Then the much easier to find 3mm bolts can be us...

"I need to get my new X6R bound in asap because I'm having intermittent reliability problems with the original X8R and I must ensure that its not a module fault." Looks as though I am not the only one how has had reliability issues with the X8Rs. My two receivers go into fail safe in turns. It must ...

Have you looked at Richard Marzek's series on YouTube? They are about previous versions of er9x but the basics are all there. They are long but is an excellent learning tool. You will come away understanding the "computer language " of er9x. Their are many other tutorials on YouTube that are worthwh...

I confirmed this behavior on a m128( new ) with 9xtreme. It occours with pot 3 at minimum or maximum or any value in between. Monitoring on the Diagana page in hardware, if any value on pot 3 is positive then then value goes to -82 and stays there until further manipulation of pots 2 & 3. It then go...

Thankyou Mike for the label change. It will save the next guy that, like me, who is not so electronically sophisticated a lot of time in a confused state. Thankyou Joao for your patience!

Joao and Bob, thanks again for your help! I finally have Pot4 and Pot5 (Taranis sliders) working. Joao you are right about the labeling. I became confused about both the extra switches and the extra pots being connected to pins named the same: Ext1, Ext2, Ext3, and Ext4. Joao, I can read! I probably...

Thanks to Bob also. I will be off to my barn(really a man cave) to rewire and let you know what happens. I am glad that it is probably a misunderstanding on my part. Joao you are correct that the labeling is confusing. In the Hardware menu the choices for Pot4 also confused me. That's why I used the...

Thanks Joao. I tried that at first. I probably misunderstood the wires. I will try again with that setup. In the hardware menu I only see choices for Pot4 (or Pot5) of Ext1 thru 4. What should I choose?
