I have also had to rebind my new X6R

I thought it was because I had removed the XjT module, used another module and then replaced the XJT module

Joao

Thanks for the quick reply

You also thought the TRN switch is more useful on the left!

It did occur to me that extending the signal wires might be the simplest way to keep the set up as original - I will do it this way to avoid any conflicts with Eepsky

Thats good news !

Its the new driver permissions on windows 10 - I also found a slightly different way round it

Hi guys I have a quick question I want to use a MOM switch as a convenient quick RSSI strength output check If I use the TRN switch, I would like to move it across to the left side of the TX where the THR switch is currently located I notice that in Eepsky the TRN switch is preset to MOM Can I just ...

When I had similar problems, my first step was to check that the USB connection to the TX was registering on the PC device manager

Yes its the same here - I'm down to two loose screws only

I guess replacing the 12 way connector is a serious bit of work?

Give yourself two clear days to replace it ?

Hi Joao Thanks for the quick reply You were right first time! I didnt think of looking at the end of the safety switches list - I havent used these for some time I found several switches I wasnt expecting - that explains all the weird voices Many thanks for solving my problem Did you fix your 9XT bo...

Hi Guys I seem to have found another discrepancy in Ersky9XT I have been switching models and setting up lots of voice files In one particular model, I have two switches that play voice files that I dont want and are not set up in the voice file list These are:- 1. Pot P2 is set for motor on/off but...

Joao I once had a problem with the silicon wires used on the lipo balance plugs Pulling on the wire over a period of time had stretched the silicon and eventually fractured the wires inside There was still an intermittent connection and also you could not see any damage on the outside of the wire Ju...

Hi Guys I have noticed that the simulation display on EepSky (v421 28 feb 2016) reflects the 3 position switches and sliders(pots 4&5) that I have installed on my 9X but the source options in the drop down boxes do not give the choice for pots 4 & 5. Does this require an upgrades or developm...

Thanks Kilrah
I will give it a try

Joao

Just a comment - might not help
I switched on the wrong module to my plane today and instead of no result, one servo went slowly to full throw - might give you an idea?

Hans

Hi guys

I just added Taranis sliders to my 9Xtreme - they are so convenient I thought I might add them to the basic 9X (ER9X) by transfering the wiring from the pots P1 and P2

This would appear to be straightforwards but does anyone know if these units are interchangeable?

Hans

Thanks Guys
You are ahead of me
It looks like I have just been through some steps that you have already sorted out!
thanks again

Hi Joao I had entered 'After' in play source with no entry in the Source This is my mistake - I should have entered 'No' in play source With these entries the Mute option in the 'On No Telemetry' works as expected, ie it does not mute the simple voice file Thanks to you and Mike for the help in clar...

Hi Mike

I understand your comment but I find that without any type of entry in the source field, ie blank and with the 'Play On No Telemetry' set to mute, the voice file does not play.

So I can only play the voice fie if 'Play On No Telemetry' is set to On

Hope that makes sense

regards
Hans

Mike
Just spotted a slight discrepancy in voice alarms
When ,play on no telemetry , is muted the voice alarm is also muted
This can be confusing as I didn't expect any connection between these choices

Hey guys, I guess I come in late in every forum. Hardly get time to pursue the hobby as I would like to. Dunno how you do it Mike. So, this weekend I went to fly again, and AGAIN my 9x just screams " No telemetry" and signal drops drastically at any distance after 50m, specially the TxSSI...

glad to hear it !

Hans

Thanks Joao
I must keep my firmware up to date!

Did you manage to fix your bootloader?

Hans

Hi Guys Thanks to your help I have successfully installed two Taranis sliders and I'm very pleased with the result. A couple of points to note:- The way I installed them, ie with the greater lever movement to the front/top of the transmitter, the connections should be reversed from those shown in th...

Hi Guys

I guess it was the motor buzzing and this stopped when I pulled the esc lead

The receiver doesnt buzz now but I still get the random drop in RSSI to zero on the bench

regards
Hans

Sure the Rx was buzzing? About the only thing that's capable of buzzing in most setups is the motor, with the ESC doing the driving. That could be caused by a receiver problem, though. Thanks for the reply I thought it was a servo but I pulled all the leads and the buzz continued I could not detect...

Thanks Mike Hope you enjoying the Easter break I wasnt sure if it could also be a faulty XJT module leading to loss of RSSI but I tested this with a X6R This log (attached) was OK Unfortunately all XJTs in UK and HK are on back order so I will have a long wait for a replacement from HK I guess they ...

mmilan I had a couple of perfectly normal flights before I lost all control about 30m away and crashed. The receiver was buzzing when I got to the plane. I didnt hear any warnings on the telemetry but I thought it was loss of signal. I had already set the failsafe before the flight but now you menti...

Thanks for the link

Its an excellent summary and clears up the questions decisively (no thanks to EU)

Thanks for the quick reply Mike as always - I dont know how you keep up with activities across the forum and your development work as well! It seems there are three versions of the Frsky firmware - LBT, Europe and International - anyway I'm going for the international so I will be continuing to refl...

Mike I have read through your instructions and trawled through the various Youtube guides, eg Painless360, Drone shop and Multicopter It seems the simpler of the two methods is to use the direct cable from the Tx to the Rx - this avoids FTDI converters and associated steps As your guide does not ref...

Thanks Mike
