Just to say a big thankyou, Mike for all your time and effort in sorting this one.
Although I haven't had a reboot so far with my sky9x's it might just have been
a matter of time!
What a nasty bug to crack (I imagine)
You are so much appreciated here

Sounds a good idea Mike

Plaps,
It's unfair to ridicule the Fortuguese
Although I guess they're used to it!

Cross trims seem fine Mike!

Well done

Thanks again

Clive

The conductive paint sounds a good idea, until you try to do it! You have to be extremely accurate, and the paint itself has resistance, not predictable. I spent hours trying to get it right on a modified DX5e and gave up in the end. I suspect the pots from a Spektrum DX5e or 4e would do the job IF ...

Same here Flaps!

Don't ask me why, but this one works with my m128, after it's 220 ohm resistors were shorted out

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400332124311? ... 1439.l2649

And yes, it is strange how the mySmart is fine with the m64

That one cost me about £20

João - I take it that you haven't replaced the 'faulty' M128 yet? Was about to give up, I was using MySartUSB light. Then tried the cheapo ebay one (after shorting out it's 220 ohm resistors) and bingo :P it worked! Now that you have it working. Can you now use your MySartUSB with the M128? Nope! I...

Ok guys.. not very good news.. connected pin 1 and SCK pin of the m128 to ground. then grounded sck from programmer through a 100 ohm resistor.. powered the board. connected programmer. tried to reset the fuses using -B 100 in companion.. nothing connection failed.. as always :( Did I do it right??...

Just got myself an FAS-40.(Looks like they fitted the right resistors(!) as it reads exactly the same as my FAS-100, both voltage and current are correct. I don't think there is a way to set a low voltage alarm? I'm not using the hub. Thanks, Clive PS, sorted it now with custom switch. Easy really :...

This balancer fits the 9x nicely

Thanks for that SM, I'll give it a try. Does yours turn off? Mine doesn't.

Clive

Hmm, thanks for the thought, but I can't see what difference it would make
whether the motor runs clockwise or anti-clockwise?

Clive

That's weird then. setting 0-5 has no effect on haptic strength with me.

What am I forgetting to do? Can you turn yours off?

Clive

With V3.0 board, ver 145, I find the haptic level is not controlled in the menu.
It works, it just isn't controllable. unless I'm missing something?

Clive

Ok, understood, thanks Brent!

Mike.

Mike, My REV3 board has C78 and C66 on pins 11 and 14 I think.
Should I take them out while I'm fitting the encoder please?
Many thanks,

Clive

I wonder if this is the reason for some of the unexplained cpu failures?
Just a thought...

Clive

Found the link :- http://code.google.com/p/gruvin9x/wiki/ ... eplacement

Don't do it!

Yep, that's the one. The track is underneath the 102, shorting it out!

My theory is all 9x's are like this?

Just found this on RCGroups:- "V15 of the 9x main PCB added various test pads. Five of these were added just below the 6-pin header, to the right of the flex cable termination. In adding a test pad to pin 1 (rightmost pin) of the header, the 1K resistor just below pin 1 is now being short-circu...

Plipping Fortuguese.

Don't they breed Ostriches?

What a shame they chose the wrong chip! theeheeheehee
(Imagine Shane MacGowan saying it! )

Clive

I have no plans to ditch ersky9x. It's just slower on development as there are far fewer people working on it. Also it tends to work out that I do a lot of the low level driver coding, then the open9x people port the driver to open9x. While I'm doing the drivers, open9x is being developed, while er...

I await your invoice Brent!

Thanks,

Clive

Fortuguese are easily pooled

Couldn't agree more Showmaster!

It's for us old gits! Sorry, you may be 23 for all I know

I'm 68 soon!

Oh, as I remember it just said "formatting error" after the apparently good format.
Don't lose sleep over it Mike, most likely my stupidity, or the card.
Brilliant effort to get the card access

Quite so!

I did have a formatting problem in the Tx last night, maybe a funny 4gb card (formatted in the comp ok)

Otherwise, slow but perfect

Ferric chloride is ready Mike
