Since I replaced the silver front panel by a white one (storm trooper look)
I get more and more used to its appearance ...

By the way: there's much more usable room inside the 9X ...
I don't like this crampedness inside the Pro

I think he meant this.

I use Excel 2007 which has a problem reading .csv.
Just rename the .csv to .txt
open it with excel as a text file while selecting comma as a separator.

Here a sample file made from the data you posted: Klaus

With this you get the firmware version of your Taranis, but not the firmware version of the TX module.

Besides of all the programming: Does the plane you want to use for testing have symmetrial or asymmetrical airfoil? Keep in mind that with using flaperons a plane with asymmetrical airfoil is prone to tip stalling. This is one reason for differential aileron throw (more throw upward than downward). ...

João, your problem brings an option to my mind that may be good to test connections with short interruptions. In a former life as a (hobby) sound engineer I had a tool to check microphone cables. You had to plug both sides of the cable into the tool. For each core there was a LED that lit. With a to...

I noticed that.
But it's hard to control the solder flow ...

Klaus

Hi João,
I would be careful with soldering crimped connectors where the wires are often bent.
The wires tend to break where the solder ends ...

I remember having a similar problem with one of my PCs.
I solved the problem with Zadig.

Klaus

But please note that there is a little difference:
The horizontal trims ARE tied to analog ground (stock) and should be tied to digital ground
but the pots ARE tied to digital ground and (maybe) should be tied to analog ground!

Klaus

If I think of the trim problem caused by digital ground
and then remember the terrible scratching sound of a dirty or hardly used pot in an audio amplifier
I wouldn't be surprised if analog ground for the pots could solve the problem ...

Hi João,

I don't know if it's evident for the actual problem but are you shure?

Two of the pots are tied to the backboard.
At the moment I don't have a schematic at hand but
as far as I know there's no analog ground available there ...

Mike gave you the answer on 12th of march.

Slightly longer than 12.9mm should be better as daedalus66 wrote. But Imho 2 mm difference are too much away from the aimed value (17%). This may work, but I think the signal would be much better with correct length. The piece of tube you can see as a kind of counterbalance for the antenna rod. Klaus

Hi bob, it has be found that the best length for a rod antenna (mono pole) is 1/4 of the wave length called lambda (λ). This wave length can be calculated as I wrote in my last post or e.g. here . For 5,8 Ghz you should trim the end to a length of 13mm. Using the whole length of 31mm is not "sl...

Hi Bob, I'm not an expert but can it be you mixed some digits? With 2,40GHz (start of band) I would expect l = λ/4 = 31,2 mm and with 2,48GHz (end of band) I would expect l = λ/4 = 30,2 mm. So the best length should be somewhere in-between (30,7 mm). So for 5,8 GHz (which is mid of the frequency ban...

And one can make his own reminders ...

Klaus

"Some like it hot odd" ;) I know some guys that use mode 2 for helicopters and mode 1 for planes (2 separate TXs). I like to have it straightforward. Cross trim either for every model or for none. Also every switch has the same function for every model (if possible). I know this is 'au con...

Is your switch a single pole or dual pole switch? If dual pole you can use one pole for the 6-pos-switch and connect the second pole to a 3-pos-switch. Just like using a 6pos and a 3pos switch which can provide up to 18 positions (3 x 6) With some logical switches you can capture the 16 positions. (...

Hy Tony,

take a look into the directory where eepe is installed.
There you will find eepskye.exe.
Just right-click on it and choose "send to desktop".
Then you will find an icon for eepskye on your desktop.

Klaus

I wonder whether this could also be added to OpenXSensor?

Klaus

I have 24/07/2012 00:58
I think it's the same (difference of 1 hour caused by different time zone settings).

Klaus

Same here with eepe and eepskye on win 10 (both latest test version).
(Frankly I haven't realized this feature ... )

Klaus

What I experienced this weekend is the fact that this 'hiss' disappears when a switch error occurs while changing models. But then there's another sound (through the small speaker it's quieter than the hiss) which normally gets swallowed by the hiss. As soon as the error is cleared, the hiss starts ...

@João:

You have to distinguish between two separate things:

• the delivery from abroad (where DHL isn't really the cheapest ...) to our customs
• the handling here in Germany (where the delivery from customs to receiver normally is handled by Deutsche Post)

Klaus

Hi João, ... normally I have to drive 30 plus kilometers to the "Zoll"(customs).. and then pay the tax... usually it's the same here, especially when there is no bill/invoice with the parcel. But when I get the letter which wants me to do so, I send them a letter with the bill/invoice and ...

For me the best solution is to use throttle cut switch for backlight (at the moment I have no sailplane).
When throttle is enabled I don't need backlight. I do adjustments only when throttle is cut, so then I need the light...

Klaus

And note that there is a specific binding procedure to tell the heli to use this type of transmitter: Klaus

If you did't set the first value of curve one to 50% by intention, I would change it to 0%. Nevertheless, arming can be done by enabling throttle cut as it forces ch1 to 0%. Regarding the switch warnings: You can set the warnings for RUD, ELE and AIL to your own need. Important are the settings for ...
