ok, you could use an orange module and receiver, how many channels do you want to work with?

Ok, the 2 9X's have arrived, tried the IA8 receivers with an original 9XR transmitter, and yes both work with th 9XR running original software! The tx had a later module installed.
Anybody got an explanation?
Also any thoughts on how to reverse flash the tx from er9x back to original? Is it possible?

Ok, I have 2 x modules here, both work with the above receiver using the 9XR with as supplied original software, a Flysky 2.4ghzAFHDS 2A module , FS-RM0003 module a Turnigy 9X Native 2.4ghz FCC ID N4ZRM00300 I suspect the same pcbs, just different external boxes! The latter was originally fitted in ...

Ok, tried that, spectacularly unsuccessful, flashed tgy9xr firmware first then eeprom, disconnected cable, rebooted the piece, blank screen, pushed buttons , no response, so just reflashed er9x and we are back working, am I missing something? I am wanting to reinstall the original firmware as it wil...

Hi all
about to reflash the original software back onto a 9XR, I assume it can be done, but what order, eeprom or firmware first?
Thanks in advance

Me neither, will know in the future to try a new model first though!!
again, thanks

No , the model was created on the radio. I suppose it could be that at the sailing competition last Sunday someone had been 'fiddling' with the radio as all the models taking part were on display for the public to look at, and the radios were at the side of the respective models, there being a perio...

Ok, having just spent an hour fiddling with the tx etc I setup another model with the same mix and characteristics as the problematic one, and with some changes to the +ve and -ve aspects of the two mix channels its all working fine again. I then returned to the original problematic model, re instal...

Ok, I installed a v tail mix, configured the tx so that the mix was on the left hand stick. Hooked up the motors and speed controllers to the relevant channels on the rx, the props are, when viewed from back of the boat, left turning on right hand side and right turning on left hand side, cannot rem...

OK, HOPE IT WORKS

Yeap on that gimbal the readings change with stick movement!

Ok, another problem cropped up yesterday whilst sailing the boat in my avatar. The boat has 2 propulsion motors, the are mixed with the V-tail mix, these channels are then setup on the L H gimbal for ease of control. It has worked well like this for a long time, yesterday the straight up/down stick ...

Ok, can't read flash memory, its telling me to try a later version, think the version I have is the latest. I have an old m/board from an earlier version, i'll piggy back it with all the plugs transferred and give that a go!

Ok another day another problem, just bought a blank screened 9X off Leboncoin, didn't pay a lot for it. Switching on, no display, installed a S/P basic board, reset fuses to protect eeprom, it took that instruction apparently, tried to flash stock AFHDS 2A firmware, it ran thro' the motions, but aft...

Ok, thanks Mike, just retried 'em and now working, if you were here wearing a skirt and high heels, a kiss would be forthcoming!! ; - D) The aux 3 switch needs to be in the down position, assumption is a great thing, I thought all in the up posn, hey ho another piece of info for the memory file! Con...

Ok, flashed stock firmware and then eeprom from stock package. Some progress, now getting switch error message and intermittent beep.
Fuses set to protect eeprom!

Read the eeprom and firmware from a similar 9x AFHDS 2a using a smartie parts basic board, then flashed the eeprom followed by the firmware. The firmware appeared to be accepted following the screen displaying progress! When rebooted just a beeeeeeeeeeeeep and error message. where would I find the s...

ok, brilliantly unsuccessfull !!!
still getting eeprom error message.
Any further suggestions, anyone?
Also, anyone got a copy of the firmware for the Tgy 9x AFHDS 2A system? If so I would like a copy thanks!

BUMP!!!

Ok, so should I give it a go and reflash a copy of the eeprom file from a similar Tx? Will it compromise the tx if it doesn't work?If it didn't, I would then try flashing ER9X and use an Orange module, as 6 channel rx's are currently around £3.50 on H/king!

Also been scratching around trying to find info on an ORX TX module 18 DBM Walkera Switchable unit, Can this module be used in a Turnigy 9X, unflashed or flashed, might be able to use with the above TX perhaps?

Hi its me again, Member of an adjacent model club turned up at my club today with the above radio system. It will not boot, just beeping and displaying Eprom error message. I just want to ask, do I re flash the eprom with the Eprom from a similar radio followed by a trial, then reflash the firmware ...

welcome!

expect so, perhaps thin grease or a mix of thick oil and grease in the prop tube and the rudder tube might be enough, time will tell

probably ok,, dependant upon size and likely waves. Another problem would be salt and its effects on the metal components, you could of course use stainless steel for them, but would probably have to be made 'in house' otherwise quite expensive. A yacht would be fine though.

ok thanks for that, i'll keep with what I have then!!!!

ok so they would work with a flysky RM003 transmitter module running ER9X?

Ok the 9X has a Turnigy 2.4ghz module mounted with fixed antenna, RF 9X V2
The receiver is an AFHDS 2A 6 channel FS-IA6B
Also have a 9XR with aTurnigy DSSS module fitted maybe that would work with relevant programming!

I recall postings about the above and eventually there was a solution I seem to recall, been trying to find those postings, anyone out there point me at them please?

Ok, now received a connecting cable to link a pc to the FS-I6 with a download from GitHub.com a simple flashing job, did 4 boxes 15 mins max! 10 channels available after a little system reprogramming. It is also possible to reprog the tx to work with the old turnigy/eurgle/flysky etc V2 receivers - ...

Ok noted!
