There's unfortunately no encoder. We were really wishing for one, but no... There will be one (or more) directly accessible, entire screens dedicated to telemetry that can be customised (like now on the 9x). So you'll have no problem showing exactly what you want and where you want on these, you can...

Yes it's planned, not the first priority though

Yep that view above with the custom switches could lose the logo and put something else there. That way the logo would only be on the main home screen with the sticks.

Well... there are some who say there's too much info, and some who say there's too little

We still have a 2nd voltage that's due there, and there's a 3rd available space with label if needed:

Yes, very bad idea. One should never run any transmitter without an antenna attached, especially with such high power. The 1.5W of power that are supposed to go to the antenna get dissipated as heat in the transmitter, and can damage or destroy it in seconds.

What?? You're running a 1.5W transmitter without an antenna??

On open9x yes (well, made into an option). ER9X still has it as far as I know...

If needed, there's the array for the throttle trace in the STAT screen that uses a ton of it (nearly 10% if I remember well), and could probably be done away with/have its resolution reduced.

Oh and when you get a defective one - keep it, always good to have a few spare parts for the others

No, do not use the heli setup page with any FBL controller.

Yes, that was my first idea but I realize that each time I hit the switch the channel has less and less travel... No, because if let's say one day you need to pull elevator a lot, hit instatrim, it will add -10% offset. The next day you need to push a bit with regard to that new setting, so you do,...

The same way, you hold the sticks and hit the instatrim again...

Ahhh... oops, sorry, Tapatalk didn't show the forum name

For er9x your best bet is the svn log: http://code.google.com/p/er9x/source/list

Yep. Can't wait to have better radios to run our good firmwares on.
Those who purchased them from other sellers than HK under the other brands (usually for $70-90) seem to have fewer duds...

Very much better!

The EN version is an exact copy of the FR version, but with the first couple of paragraphs translated.

No, he wants to use er9x, it's just less than perfect English

not is in English.

The English translation hasn't really been started yet. It's currently only a copy of the French manual with just the first 2 paragraphs translated...

Ouch, bad for the loss... No, no way to set failsafe on that system. That's one of the main reason why many upgrade to FrSky modules and receivers.

It's not really "made for the 9x", it's just a JR-compatible module, and as such it can go in the 9x

No, the same. There's no difference at all in usage between both.

Instructions to install the DSM module are here, but those require you to reflash your radio first (you can't use it with stock firmware): http://openrcforums.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_modify_your_9x_to_the_DSM_protocol There are 2 common methods, one is to install the module in the radio with a swi...

Thanks Kilrah. I wonder what kind of com port I would have to use on the batch file that Mike provided to program the atmega with this cable.. Would it be the com1? Well you'd have to check on your PC to see what number that COM port has, and edit the batch file to put the same one. But if your PC ...

A hint here: http://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=541&p=6334&hilit=pigtail#p6334 Basically you can get a connector with some length of cable, and an antenna for said connector. Solder the cable in place of the stock antenna, drill a hole to mount the connector and you're do...

First, ersky9x is one of the firmwares for the sky9x board , not the skyboard itself.. Well it was both until recently, so some confusion is normal... The board was also called ersky9x, was even printed on it, not to mention the ersky9x.net website selling it ;) It was changed later due to that exa...

This should just be a cable, no circuitry at all. Should work indeed, and yes the labels seem swapped...

But if then, i only see a lot of potential, ersky9 or Gruvin design on a chosen form factor PCB's where Open9x is running on it and altogether in a line of range housing to choose from. Who knows in a few years? Interesting to see how the things goes. Well, for now the next step will be the frsky r...

If you can compile the firmware yourself, I recall it's not terribly complicated to modify it to allow for higher values. I had increased it to 600% or such for testing... then you could see if your module handles it or not. Another reason not to allow higher values in the standard firmware is that ...

The problem is that nobody expects a radio to output pulses beyond about 800-2200us. So some manufacturers will use that fact to adapt their coding, or not - what happens beyond the spec will be different for every RF module manufacturer. Back in the MHz days the PPM signal was sent as is, so no pro...
