Thanks Mike, I'm 90% there so got CH9 and CH10 now setup and kill switch on ELE on CH8, so all working. Final bit I need is for CH8 to run soon as P3 is moved with CH5/6/7 in the neutral position. This is so P3 ESC on CH8 is maintaining a minimum pressure in the system for when CH5/6/7 is operated t...

Hi All, Dug out bit of an old thread but I'm in need of help again. Basically got a new setup now with 3 Hydraulic rams on Ch5 Ch6 & Ch7 Brushless ESC for pump is on Ch8 which is -100% when the pump is off and +100% when it is on. I have the following setup and is working OK but I want to change...

Thanks Mike, Makes sense, I'll have a look in to this at the weekend when I have more time. I did try it with the antenna off the module which would reduce the power output but would increase the SWR so in theory would be more prone to interference?? To be honest couldn't notice much improvement in ...

Thanks João I will have a look for something different may be, any recommendations at all ? . Or I could may swap out the RX6R and put a X8R in there as they have never given a problem in the past, it is just the size. It will need Telemetry as I monitor the voltages via the Tx. Trust me I won't be ...

João I think you may have just worked this out. I've just tested again and it does only seem to happen when the Rx is up to approx 1.5 meters from the Tx, anything further and it seems OK, Is there any way to improve this though or just something I need to live it? Really I need to be close'ish to t...

Mike,

Rx is Red flash at 1 Hz so failsafe ?

XJT is red solid, green very fast flash

Also while I was typing this out it has just re connected by it self....

Cheers

Hi João Some good videos there and yes in video "Eepskye Explained" at 11 mins there is a brief overview :D What I'm trying to work out is a have a RX / TX link that will drop out every 5 mins or so, so been monitoring Telemetry to see if I can see anything wrong. I just turn off the 9XR a...

Thanks Mike,
Is there any guides about on how to use this?
Also would it work with a XJT module ?

Cheers
Steve

Hi All, Sorry if is a really basic noob question but in the eepe software on the toolbar tab there is an option called Telemetry. What is this for and how does it work ? I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer to this, I can't seem to find a eepe user manual, only ER9X etc which don't cove...

Thanks Mike, I did work out R -100% P1 Switch(GEA) yesterday evening after I walked a way from it for a bit, but thanks anyway Sometimes I just look to deep when really it is very simple :o I've tried changing the OR to AND on SW3 but the both operate in the same way so I've left that for now. For n...

Hi All, I'm still having one issue here that I can't seem to get a round so I'm hoping some one can point me in the right direction. I have the following setup and is working OK, Mixer CH03 +100%Ele CH04 +100%Ail CH05 +50%s Offset(50%) CH06 +30%FULL Switch(ID0) R +0%FULL Switch(ID1) R -50%FULL Switc...

Thanks both, I've found the menus

I'm on a quite an old version r813

If I was to update to the latest now would all model settings still work OK ??
Any point in updating too? Only got 2 trucks and 3 diggers on there

Cheers

Steve

Many thanks, I have all that side of things sorted now.

Also very random issue, I can't get into Model setup or radio setup screen.
If I remember right menu long from any of the 5 main screens? doesn't work for some reason!

Any ideas

Thanks João

This does work OK but to make it safer I would like to have P1 to only work if the Gear switch is on.

Is that possible ?

Cheers

Steve

Thanks Mike, Sorry I should have added all the information to original post but your guess at my setup was correct. Thanks for mixers, works a treat. I just need to add a few adjustments like I don't want the pump to run at 100% when in normal operation, but add another "boost" switch for ...

Hi All, Been a while since I've setup some mixes and to be honest I've forgotten a little. Basically I have Turnigy 9XR running EX9R and I'm setting up a track loader with Hydraulics I have 2 Hydraulic rams on Ch3 & Ch4 which are controlled via a standard servo, in a valve block Now the Hydrauli...

YES!!!!! Finally we are there and have Telemetry. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a632/tech1_uk/Truck_Stuff/9XR/20160302_205641_zpse3opmfoq.jpg I need to add the LiPo voltage sensor yet and fine tune the A1 but least I now have some readings. Thanks all for all your help, specially Mike.. you a...

Thanks again Mike for your reply, I have followed a number of guides to do this mod, the first one being, http://forum.turnigy9xr.com/converting-9xr-to-frsky-telemetry-djt-module-t362.html?sid=d8af5915b05342f608ee2ae65474ebca This is for DJT module so I did up to pin5 of the RF board to the 2nd Pin ...

Yes it has with a 500 ohm resistor.

The 8XR have been set to mode 5 and mode 3 which I believe is correct.
Would get I Tssi info even if the 8XR was set wrong?

Cheers Steve

Thanks Mike for the quick response.

Sorry I should be clearer, i got both the 8XR to bind ok so step 5 on your list above.
I can't get any telemetry so no A1 or Rssi , they just read zero

Is there a way to tell what firmware level the XJT and X8R are on as I can't get this working. The date stamp on the XJT is 2013 but I have read the earlier firmware were buggy and telemetry didnt work correcly in D16 mode. I also only have one X8R set to telemetry mode and the other is switched off...

Sorry for the late reply but all the switches are now working as the should. Mike was right I needed to set the option in the hardware menu. Out of the guides I read before doing this mod not one said about setting the option, just to flash with the correct software. Not to worry I'm there I think j...

Right, had a little go this evening and it hasn't gone to well. I've soldered in the 2 wires from 41 & 42. This is direct to the chip. The other ends are too the 200ohm resistors on the pcb and then I've cut the 2 tracks. I've put in the 500ohm rf wire too. Each step was checked with a multi-met...

Unlike to original 9X, the 9XR has an extra chip (U6 an MC14051B). The processor pins 41 and 42 are connected to this, and you will most likely find it easier to solder to this chip then the processor. Processor pin 41 is connected to U6 pin 11. Processor pin 42 is connected to U6 pin 10. Mike. Tha...

Thanks again Mike.

I'll take the back off tomorrow and have a look with the magnifying glass.
Just to be clear, 220ohms on pin 41 & 42 and then a 500ohm to the Rf board?

Cheers

Steve

Thanks Mike,

That is what I was fearing. I'm not the best with a soldering iron on small items so a bit of thought is required...... at the moment I may give this a miss!

Hi all, I'm after some guidance as I've been reading page after page of information on telemetry, but to be honest I've just confused the hell out of myself. My current setup is, 9xr (non pro) running ER9x-r813, out of date but it does what I want it too, if I need to update this it is no big drama....

I went with the FrSky XJT module using 2 X8R receivers, works a treat and was setup in minutes. Full 16 channels without any problems.

Got mine from Hobbyking
