It may be firmware r677 but.. latest eepe will download mixes from 2 SP equipped 9x's but the latest Companion9X give me an error. Both programs download the TX's firmware. I've reinstalled the latest.34 companion with no help. After upgrading the TX FW to r677 from r666 I was able to download the m...

Keep the ideas comming.

Are you doing a powerpoint presentation? It's a good idea to post it here to help others who would like to present at their clubs. Remember, the more people we get on board the more programmers, designers, testers and helpers we have! I hope to do power point but I'm trying to come up what will mak...

Thanks Rob, cr8tive_leo, and jsha for the ideas. I like 'ER9X - EXPANDING POSSIBILITIES' if that's OK with all the persons that made it possible.
I'm going with it. It's a good teese for the news letter as well.

I've been asked to give a talk on the 9x and upgrade options to several clubs.  I've been asked for a name of my presentation that can be put into their newsletter announcing it. It will be 20 min or so, or shorter if I see eyes glassing over thinking about the donut and coffee break ha ha. I want t...

Thanks, I'm glad to help.
I never was able to find this info with searches so now we have it.
From what I did find I'm certain that the other color leds draw the same current. Worse cases a few Ma. differant.

HK White Backlight current draw vs. voltage applied 5-13V The backlight has 2 leds wired in series. 5V = 5Ma 6V =7Ma 7V = 9Ma 7.4V = 9.8Ma 8V = 11Ma 9V = 13Ma 9.6V = 14.25Ma 10V = 15Ma 11V = 17Ma 12V = 19Ma 12.6V = 20Ma 13v = 21Ma Brightness of the backlight does depend on TX battery voltage used. T...

The difference in current consumption may be caused be a change in design. I have a graphic display from a different manufacturer that has a LED backlight. This is composed of 78 separate LEDs in an array covering the area to be illuminated. This backlight does consume a high current (100mA). I als...

I think somebody should update/correct the wiki. The Backlight mod part is totally false information. The HK backlight draws much LESS current, not more than the EL panel. The HobbyKing listing shows current draw as 60-90 mA, which is indeed far more than the EL panel. If this is wrong, say so in a...

Another option to add to the 9x er9x? Free with planes I'm reading or $24.95 from Tower. Plug it into the trainer out, bind it wirh Hobbico planes and fly. I can see the future 9x with the original 35/72 mhz antenna, a flySky, frsky, spektrum, and now a Hobbico Any-Link antenna on the case. I'm sure...

Mike, some alarm vibrate info feedback. I set my A2 Lipo alarm to vibrate (yellow) at 11 v and siren and fast vibrate at 10.7v. It all works but as the voltage goes from 11 down to 10.7 both alarms are active causing some mix of actions to be expected. When I back off the motor and the voltages clim...

Just remember, the receiver antenna also comes into play. Generally every 3dB in RF terms is double, but double signal does not translate to double distance. The antenna labeling refers to receive gain, and a better antenna does not increase the power from the module. The module still only send 100...

Are any of the new boards flying planes? If so what's it like ?

I believe the charge jack comes wire as a Futaba with rhe center pin plus(+) and the barrel minus(-). There is a diode in line to protect it if the polarity is wrong. I fly all JR and Spektrum so I flipped the wires on the jack to be the same as JR. I'm using the HK 1500ma life battery and charge us...

You just have to make sure you

speaker mode is set too PiSpkr, and the

frsky alerts too:

Int. FRSky Alarms : on

Then you can select the red/orange/yellow alert tones.

Found it, used it, like it!
Thanks

Please delete. Hit wrong button

The AMA safety code reads “I will not fly my model aircraft higher than approximately 400 feet above ground level, when within three (3) miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator. " The last thing I want to do is start an argument about safe flying. But not only do we have the...

Rob, what build has the sounds in your utube post?

Ever since I went on a cruse and left the soldering iron on in the garage I've used a timer on my electronics bench. :oops: I use a mechanical wall timer from the hardware store and mounted it in a box that powers my main power strip. It only runs for an hour so I have to reach over and give it a tu...

Great on the 400ft alarm feature soon. What are the limits in other countries? I hope others agree that it can't hurt to know when your over the limit at least near large airports? I'm 5 miles from one, and 25 from LAX. That and the police copters chewing us out as they circle over head is enough to...

I have a BDay card that plays a loud terrible song, but it is loud. I'm thinking of finding the cheapest card that plays music and using the speaker from it. Driver issues? I think I'm going to put my scope on it before tearing it out just to get a level being used to drive it. Then when I install i...

I think I'm going to take a speaker from an audio BDay card and use it since it's so small, loud as mentioned by others. How do you and Rob find the time in the first place Mike? The 400 ft limit may not be such an issue in every country er9x operates in but when you do get time to add it for the US...

Loaded FW and flew my plane today. I set my motor lipo alarm for 11v as a test and flew. When the lipo hit 11v my tx alarms went off and the hepatic vibrators (2) went off. So "cool"! Can it get any better? It just seems to. Thank you for all the nom stop improvements. With the FAA restric...

OK, so either eepe or C9X will work?
I hope to get in a test flight of the alarms today if the WX holds up in LA.

Wow I see it now. I'll give it a try in the air. BTW I usually run the Frsky NOHT versions, any reason not I shouldn't? If I like how this revision works will updates of latest version be posted here until all the bugs are worked out if any? I assume if it all works out, it'll become a regular eepe ...

I loaded both files posted here but never see the screen in radio1/6 as shown in your pix post? I never see the new alarm options. Am I missing a step? I downloaded both files posted here and this is the version of the last one I loaded from screen 3/6. I used C9X to load it. SVN trunk-r1 VERS V1.52...

Ok on the button display. It's OK I just wanted to note that for a first timer it doesn't stand out as a feature. Mentioning it in the help menu later will help those that read it if it's needed. As for the capture options, the OS capture options are again something that many have never used except ...

I'm blessed so far and don't shake. It's not an age thing so much anymore and I'm seeing it at the field in some young adults as well as seniors. I think that why high end cameras have added shake compensation even if they don't have long leses. For telephoto lenses it's a must have option usually. ...
