OK, that is certainly out of my league. ;) I saw there are 60 people looked at the pics (may be more in the future), hope some one will get interested in and try to do that. ;) I will use the module for the Multi project for now. The FW to communicate the rx must be located some here on the main boa...

that should have no effect on this. I wired the tx/rx pin to the back of the module attaching to two metal pads before (in the tx I have spring loaded pins to receive tx/rx signal from telemetry in stock board or skyboard. with tx of no mod, those two pads is just sitting there at the bottom of the ...

Ok, I will do that when I get home, in the office now. what should I look for on the CAL numbers or just report the numbers back to you? Could the AR9X nonrs232 com2 has any effect on this phenomenon? Because I tried the same DJT and rx(D4R-II) at the same time with er9x/sky9x with older version FW ...

Any possibility to flash the rx to be used with DSM system? Is the DSM FW even available on the web somewhere? or using the orange rx fW?

Thx, nigelsheffield. good to know the real performance of something like this.

No hurry. take your time. At least I know I am not going crazy.

yes, Mike.
and I DID turn the throttle trim OFF.

recently I was working on Multiprotocol module and accidentally found a module from my old 'junk' tx has the CYRF chip in there that I can use. Some one told me it even has a T212 chip in there so it has really good range. So I dig out the rx that came with the old tx and opened it up. Surprisingly,...

Mike: there is something going on with FRsky and AR9X. I was testing the r218i with multi, Multi binds and got telemetry via com2(non rs232) fine. but when I use a DJT to compare telemetry hub data, I can get the telemetry data but servo goes crazy and ESC won't bind. I have tried the version that w...

gohsthb:

You are a ghost as I used to type your name wrong. Glad to see you pop up again. I am still using the Flysky module you gave me to fly my v959 with FPV mod till two wks ago I saw this Multiprotocol came out.

ON AR9X board you can use the com2 without rs232 without an inverter. It is located left of the com2-r232.

Dbswans: under model setup ->General-> 3rd page last item or at first page 1st line use up button go straight to the last item of 3rd page. I know, er9x is getting so sophisticated, some times it is hard to dig out all the functions you want to find. I only remember those I use most. :mrgreen:

ha, another little secret.

Is it true now when a new model or lne of program is added, it is dfaulted to throttle trim as on?
I never used throttle trim(no nitro engine), but I don’t recall I need to change that before. Keep forgetting checking that one.

Mike: I was using the r218i Multi 16ch test version this evening, found a couple minor things you may want to keep in your to do list. Here are the pics. I also found my timer when counting down to zero won't sound alarm anymore, that may be my programming, I will check again. but it used to have a ...

Hope you all had a Merry X'mas eve and day! I did. ;) Mike: I saw that on the R218i (16ch multi). Learned a new function there. Thx. ;) Jhsa: Well, I have to say, I am not an expert flyer in CP heli, just barely into acrobatic flying. After > 1 1/2 yr out of RC, I am not sure I can even do a flip or...

:lol: :lol: Can't believe this generated this much discussion. the point is: there is not safety position or switches can protect you from injury if you don't practice safety routine and habit. Relying on switches to protect is a disaster waiting to happen. It is like gun safety. Only safe practice ...

You do whatever you think is the best. I do whatever I deem appropriate. Each person has their own way of doing things. I know that switch works very well. and I do know how sticky switch works (one of very few things I know about er9x. Don't know a ton of them.). As I said I don't like it since it ...

wow wow wow, you really work to the last minute! Now go do the X'mas things! ;) I will test them over the wkend. PS: it was that 'stupid' 'HALF' in throttle cut is doing all the weirdo thing. :mrgreen: Never liked the 'sticky' stuff since it was born, so I never used it. Always clean cut and clean s...

hmm, how did I turn on that throttle trim, never did that and did not catch it either.
The cut using HALF also, did not catch that.
I really need a break Eyes or brain is going nut!

Have a Merry X'mas! I will.

I am really going crazy. Need to take a break from this RC thing. :mrgreen: I decide to replug everything back for my AR9X to stock switches and stick.. to fly over the wkend for a while. BUT something went wrong/crazy. Can't even get a simple 4 ch quad to work. Here is the eeprom, the THR turn on/o...

Ok, on the 'ersky9x test version' thread I saw this Dec 15 'ersky9x_sky_9xt_multi' says for SKY and 9exteme board for testing multiprotocol only. i thought it might work on ar9x too. So it does not even work on sky board? or it is not for 16ch version Multi? edit: so many different version changing ...

Does the latest test version for Multi 16 ch telemetry work with AR9X board? I could not get it to bind last night.

There is no problem with the pot using the original pot's circuit, only the new enhanced function using AD8, AD10 for pots has this issue. I think it is just the limit of this circuit that you squeezed out of the AR9X board. :mrgreen: Time is not all wasted, now we know the program will work flawles...

One step at a time. Receive my 'trim switch' today. http://www.ebay.com/itm/380871128528?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT they are momentary at each end with a click, the AA battery is there to show the relative size. perfect for finger to push at each end and the size ...

kaos: Try adding a 1nF capacitor between AD8/10 and ground. Mike. Mike: I just did the test by putting a 1nF cap between AD8-gnd, and AD10-gnd each. The 5K pot still function perfectly. The high impedance pot on AD8 is very close to perfect, ever so slightly moved, may be a hair if I fully concentr...

That is good info. Thx for sharing. I have been looking for stuff like this for a while. Found some thick sticky stuff very hard to do, not like these easy spray type. If you don't have those water proof thing done. The most important thing when that happens is your throttle cut. Don't put any curre...

Mike: whatever this test version you did fixed all the issue for 5K pot, no interference on P4 in either AD8 or AD10 by throttle or P3. :) With my high impedance pot there is VERY slight influence on both AD8, AD10. I am uploading the video for that to show you including analog data in the video. I ...

will do. I will check it and report back. I am at the office. Will do this when I get home. Also, it comes to mind, one thing I did not test is my own servo on the HD camera. Whether that shakiness at certain angle is my servo or the tx (using jhsa sent version). But that thing has been sitting ther...

The 5k pot i used to test was all by itself with 3 wires v,gnd,AD8 or10. Actually the 5k pot at both port had more influence by P3 or throttle than my rocker. With either pot, AD8 had more interference than AD10. I will use the FW jhsa sent to me to make a video to show you. That version is much bet...

revert my statement. Everything is OK only AD10. I just tested AD8. Both 5K and my rocker has some issue. My rocker is slightly affected by p3 but operating on its own no issue, only if I don't use rocker and move p3 there is slight movement on the ch8 servo. With a 5k pot. just in hardware set up m...
