Re: Sky9x wiki

Hello Mike, I have sucessfully flown a plane using the V761 protocol so that's progress. I spent today sorting out the voice commands and am slowly getting there. The remainign challenge is to get telemetry working. So far I have tried com1 RXD and com1 TXD both inverted and non inverted using a D8R...

Re: Sky9x wiki

Mike, you are genius. :D As you suggested, when I checked the continuity from L5 to pin 1 there was none. It looked like L5 was only sitting on one pad and not soldered to the second. SMD is at the limit of my soldering skills, but with fine solder and lots of flux, I got the joint on the first try....

Re: Sky9x wiki

Well, I am making progress. The board is installed and almost working. Why almost working? Because everything works except the right joystick. Neither the right horizontal or the right vertical axes work. Thr trim switches work on both axes. I have been through the diagnostic for all the switches (a...

Re: Sky9x wiki

Hi Mike,

I think I found the problem. The TCL files for the atm91x3s4-9x refers to a atm91x3s2 which presumably has a smaller memory. Using the atm91x3s4-ek solved the problem and I was able to load the latest ersky9xs_rom version. Now on the rebuild again. Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: Sky9x wiki

Hello Mike,

Tried again this morning using at91sam3s4-ek and ersky9x_rom_r217_mv3 and it seems to have flashed OK. Now I just have to rebuild the 9X again. Hopefully this wil have the "power on holding the horizontal trims inwards" to make loading a newer version easier.

Re: Sky9x wiki

Hello Mike, It was all going too well.... I tried flashing the firmware to the board and got a memory overflow error, so I thought maybe a clean install would work. That was a bad idea as now, when I plug the board into the USB I get nothing. The USB is not recognised. If I short the erase jumper an...

Re: Sky9x wiki

Hello Mike, I have sucessfully installed the board in my 9X and it seems to work. I found the right setting for the display (it defualted to the Optrex one) and the menus work. I have sucessfully written a new model to the EEPROM using eePskye, but the main firmware is still the very early (2012) ve...

Re: Sky9x wiki

Yes, you are correct. I meant eepskye Rev 422. I am assuming I need to configure it to use SAM-BA in the Burn menu. I just want to load the latest version before I pull the 9X apart. The 9X is currently not modified for telemetry (I was wondering if I can simply use the single wire mod as for the AR...

Re: Sky9x wiki

Hi Mike, It's the rev B1 board. So far I have managed to install SAM-BA so I think eepe is talking to it. Should I just use eepe to upload the latest ERSKY9X firmware to it? I haven't installed the board yet. It is still just via USB. Getting the driver installed took a while. I plan on putting it i...

Sky9x wiki

I have a Sky9x board which I have never got around to installing. I have now retired so I have time to install this board, but the wiki seems to have disappeared. Can anyone point me to where the info is now please?

Many thanks

ER9x and multiprotocol problems - solved

It took a while and a few experiments, but I've cracked it now. I went back to a standalone flysky receiver with a few servos attached That showed that the flysky protocol was OK. It took some fiddling with other transmitters I have, but I tracked down the problem to my indoor model requiring the au...

Re: ER9x and multiprotocol problems

Hi Mike, Thanks for the quick reply and info. I didn't realise ER9X had moved. I've downloaded it and am back where I was last night. DSM2 works and the CX10 works, but still having trouble with getting the Flysky option to bind. There are so many options that it takes a while to get through them al...

ER9x and multiprotocol problems

I'm running the latest version of ER9X (ER9X Pr820) - at least I downloaded it yesterday - and have just complied and updated the multiprotocol firmware - after a fight with windows 10 and USBASP - and I have some questions about the options available in the ER9X multiprotocol menu. Initially the mo...

Strange Behaviour with 9X

I have a strange problem with my 9x. If it has been off for a long time it starts without a problem. However, it I turn it off and on quickly - for instance when a bind failed and I need to rebind (say 10 sec - 1 min) - it often doesn't start. I just get no display and no control or beeps. It doesn'...

Re: Flysky Th9X Open TX and DSM2 Problems

Kilrah,

You nailed it. I had DSM selected in the model, but not in the firmware. Module now working, I just have to program the MCPx into it.

many Thanks Ian

Hello, I have just built a DSM2 module using a Corona case and a DX4e module and I'm having some strange radio problems getting it to work. I have flashed the radio with the latest version on openTX using Open TX companion (2.0.13) and I can't seem to access the DSM2 protocol menu. On the second mod...

Re: "Flip" button on Syma X1/WLToys v949

I have the RC Perkins Twister, which I belive is just a rebadged 949. I have sucessfully bound it to my 9X and can get it to flip very easily. They key is to go to 100% travel on that channel. If you limit to o/p to 80% say then it will not flip. I would say have the o/p limited to 80-90% and then h...
