Yes, but Charles was asking about how to use SAM-BA directly above, looking for the "EEPROM" tab. This is why he only got 4K, the default size is 1000 I think.

Re: ERSKY9x Rev. B1 User Area
The external EEPROM is 512K. Currently, all ersky9x data is in the first 168K. When backing up, you need to set the address to 0, and size to 2A000 minimum, but you may use 80000 as the size to get all 512K.

Re: ERSKY9x Rev. B1 User Area
You should see a TAB labelled "Serial Flash AT25" along from the default TAB "Flash". If you don't have that, then you need to update certain files to enable it.

Re: er9x development
Useful feedback. I'm asking as I think the implementation of pot scrolling uses around 1K of flash. I'm prepared to have one or two more hex files for er9x with specific options but I don't really want to go down the compile server route. I quite like the fact that er9x is a single program without f...

Re: ERSky Voice Files
Won't your motor run time be zero until you first start the motor, then be non-zero? This is exactly what my suggestion needs. Until you start the motor for the first time, CH9 is held at -100, then works as required. You can use either timer in the custom switch Tim1 or Tim2.

Re: er9x development
As er9x does not use a compilation server, it means building more versions. The #if statements are mostly in already to remove it. I was going to leave it in until the FrSky version ran out of space.

Re: ERSky Voice Files
I REALLY don't want to do that until I have to. I would definitely need to produce an updated eepe at the same time that would be able to translate between the EEPROM structures, and probably get C9X changed in the same way. It's a lot of work and time.

Re: ERSky Voice Files
When I did the recent EEPROM structure change I did allow for enhancing the number of AND switches. I just haven't had time to make use of the new facility (a byte instead of 4 bits). I wanted to be sure the EEPROM change was OK first.

Re: turnigy 9x upgrade flashing
My main concern, for those new to er9x/open9x, particularly for the stock board, is when you first want to download open9x you are faced with 26 options of what you want in it, and you won't know what most of them mean, or whether you want them. So if you get er9x and learn it, you understand what m...

Mutchy: Do you use the timers? Suppose you set a timer to count up, and start from zero. You could force your CH9 to be -100 by adding an extra mix line: R -100% FULL switch(!SW16) and set switch 16 to be: CS16: v>ofs Tim1 0 Switch 16 is then OFF until the timer starts counting, then it is ON.

The physical memory is 512kb. 8kb is allocated to the general radio settings. 8kb is allocated to each model. Each of the 8kb areas is divided into two 4kb blocks. When updating either a model, or the general settings, the 'unused' 4kb block is written with the new data, then the original 'used' 4kb...

Re: ERSky Voice Files
Exactly, I only have 4 bits to code the extra AND switch in. If there is an unused custom switch, then that could be used to get the required option e.g.
SW1: AND |SWB !SWB
give a switch that is ON when SWB is OFF. Use that in the extra AND field.

Eepe is for loading ER9X really. It also allows you to backup your model data and edit/simulate models on the PC. Much easier than using the radio all the time. If you want to go down the open9x route, then you need to download Companion9X (C9X). With er9x, you have a few choices of version to load,...

Re: ERSky Voice Files
Part of your problem is likely to be thay CH9, like all channels, starts at 0% (the middle), so the first few of you SWx are all ON. You could try disabling these by using the extra AND switch at the right of the custom switch screen. If you AND with a switch that powers up OFF, they will be disable...

Re: ERSKY9x Rev. B1 User Area
Have you used the SAM-BA program direct, rather than through C9X?
With this you can read/write the flash memory, EEPROM memory and the co-processor to/from files on the PC. This lets you backup the EEPROM to a file.

Re: Introducing: TelemetrEZ
It would seem logical to me that you repeat your own test on your own radio by swapping the tEZ. In other words, put the tEZ on your currently-non-tEZ and see what happens. Because maybe you just have one 9x that's going to delay and one that isn't? Rather than swap out all the hardware, I have dis...

Can you check your fuse settings on your system with the delay. There is a setting that defines a delay on the oscillator startup. This delay can be set to 0mS, 4mS or 64mS. Mine is set to 4mS, but if set to 64mS I reckon it would cause the delay. My fuses are set to: Extended 0xFF High 0xC1 Low 0x0...
