Taranis QX7 bluetooth

Ouch! Good news but why don’t I see it as a trainer option in otx2.2.1? It really looks soldered in correctly. What I haven’t done is measure the vcc pad. No idea if it powers up or down when selected if it was to show up? Is it possible some other SMD components are missing not being the S main boa...

SBUS Trainer input

It’s been awhile since anything was posted here but I have a question Mike. If I want to use a HK Orange 616 receiver, postage stamp size with cppm out, to bind it one shorts the cppm pin to ground. To add a bind button and use it, I’ll also be shorting pin 2 heartbeat pin to ground. Would I want to...

Re: Taranis QX7 bluetooth

I can’t ever thank you enough Mike for all you’ve contributed to the diy crowd since coming onboard! The educational part alone is priceless in my case!

Re: Taranis QX7 bluetooth

I’m putting the 4in1 on hold Mike now that I know what happened. This would be better time spent since it’s a question no one has answered to date on how well does the Frsky Bt module work in a Qx7, if added as a diy upgrade. Since I bought these 3ea ( I can send you my spare) as Horus upgrades, and...

Re: Taranis QX7 bluetooth

Yes, I’ve been following your progress.
What do you do about the bind button? My thinking on a readymade internal knockoff, is to parallel the button and run this into the battery compartment?

That Mike is a busy guy! Without you wanting a tx to talk and MikeB coming onboard early on, we’ed still be in the dark ages! The BT option was more to test Frsky’s than having it. My goal was trainer compatibility between the retail Frsky transmitters offering Bt. Most Frsky “appliance operator” RC...

Re: Taranis QX7 bluetooth

Thank you for this info. I was hoping it was easier than that but even bad news is helpful for what’s going on. Sadly this Horus flashing isn’t going to happen as I don’t own or know of anyone that has a Horus. If I do find one, the soldering in and removing of the board isn’t going to be popular wi...

I haven’t been able to use/turn on, my addition of the Frsky version bluetooth module to my Qx7. The otx menu doesn’t offer a trainer Bluetooth option?

Re: taranis wont turn on

From what I know, the power switch is more of a logic sw that supplies power to a circuit called “magic power switch” or something like that. The magic sw purpose is to actually control the time it takes to power on and off the main circuit boards tx battery voltage to a 5 or 3.3v regulator. This bu...

Re: taranis wont turn on

Have you been inside the case for any reason recently? Is so, please push on all the connectors. It’s possible that one may not be seated all the way.
This is easy to try.

IRangeX 4in1 Plus fw flashing.

Family issues came up and I’ll be away most of the day. I’ll give this usb option a try first chance tonight. It would seem that if IRangeX shared the source code this would be a simple situation and we could move on. I’m accepting the fact that this may be taking more time than we should spend on i...

Re: IRangeX 4in1 Plus fw flashing.

Bootloader question Mike. If the usb or flash from tx bootloader provided in the GitHub multiprotocol zip file were loaded, would they work. The videos out there show flashing this module (bootloader only) to activate the USB port option. They show using IDE but I do like the flash loader way better...

Making more sense every time you post Mike. I’m not really dependent on the original and was more interested in the ppm mode for my pcm10 TAER tx as a test and learning module reprogramming.

I’m open to anything as it’s now a learning project.
From what you’re saying it seems like this the GitHub multi fw is not the one for this module but another one with a dial?

This HK R615x receiver can also do dsm2-22 and from your info that's position 7. Trying it no luck. I've got to stop for a few hours and it'll give you a rest. I'll review this aga...

Wow, that’s great! So what’s going on is a mystery still? My pro tx battery went low 8.8v (nimh) so I’m charging it for awhile. That wasn’t the case when all the flashing and prior testing was going on. So to repeat myself again and why I’m frustrated, is when I received the module, I was able to ho...

Here's a start. I believe I've read my module with Flash Loader correctly. No complaints from it while doing it.

Re: IRangeX 4in1 Plus fw flashing.

Will do as soon as the coffee kicks in. Can I assume that because the flash from the pro sd card worked after invert com set to yes, that your bootloader or some bootloader attempt, is loaded now? If so I can focus on why my fw flash attempts are not happening. Then redo it all once progress is made...

Thanks, I did that in the _config.h file before compiling the Multiprotocol.ino in the IDE pgm.

Ok, sleep didn't help. One more time ( I/we hope) how do I flash your latest M4in1.bin into the 4in1 module? I'm hoping if this works to just use the Pro tx for fw updating.

I’m ready. To be sure, could you please provide the link and any instructions you think would help to avoid messing it up.
Couldn’t spend any time on it today, but will have in about 9hrs from now.
I’d like to try a multi fw flash from the 9xr pro.
