Re: XR8 rx telemetary sensors

Both! The timing is still there, but only runs if you have the 4K7 pulldown on the signal.

Mike.

Edit: Minor timing improvement, hex file above reposted.

Re: XR8 rx telemetary sensors

Looking OK generally. I'll do some more testing, but I have updated the hex file in the post above (I don't like leaving incorrect files on posts). This one should work.
I had the code a bit wrong, and also changed the clock in the wrong direction!.

Re: XR8 rx telemetary sensors

OK, I'm checking. I can see an error in my clock adjust code. I'm using clock/8 as the clock for timer 1, and have calculated from this as 1.2uS per count. It's not, it 1.2MHz, 0.833uS per count.

Mike.

Edit: This may affect other timings, testing now.

Re: XR8 rx telemetary sensors

OK, the processor clock is too slow. Each (-ve) pulse on the debug signal should be the centre of a bit, the last falling edge should be the centre of the stop bit. The first byte is 0x7E. In your picture, the last data sample is of the stop bit, and the stop bit edge is just into the next start bit...

Re: XR8 rx telemetary sensors

That should all be OK, it's pretty much what I've been doing, except I'm using a STK500 (set to 3.3V) as the programmer. You will need to set the fuses as well, info just a few post back.

On occasions I've noticed slightly odd menu displays when changing menus. You seem to get some of each menu displaying at the same time. Also, the STAT display of tmain is sometimes over 20mS, this is rather long. I think the problem is caused by things like chainMenu(). What happens is the 'current...

Re: Its like the USB is dead

All 4 connections are used, power is used when flashing. In any case, you MUST have at least ground D+ and D- for the USB to work. The other 2 connections may well be soldered on the other side of the board. The USB connection run along the 5-way ribbon to the main board. On the main board I think t...

Re: Its like the USB is dead

If you open the case up, you can see where the USB connector connects to the back board. The USB connector is on a small PCB that is mounted at right angles to the board, and the 4 connections are soldered between them. Worth checking they haven't broken due to mechanical flexing.

Re: Erratic free memory

A bit more complicated than that! When a model (or the general settings) is changed, a copy of the model is saved, then a "rename" operation takes place to swap the newly saved 'file' with the original. However, the original file still remains taking up some space in the EEPROM. When you s...

You appear to refer to "CF1" which is "CUSTOM FUNCTION 1".
Er9x does not have custom functions, they are in openTx.
