Sure, Paul... i can take a look.

Very odd. Since we knew the GND and RST pins were making contact, and they are on the "outsides", that means either the SP board is bowed up in the middle or your 9X is dipping down... either case seeming bizarre as to why. Or perhaps one of the springs in the pins failed. But... with 2 bo...

This has been one of the most problematic cases I've come across. And as he says in the first post... I'm stumped. We assumed it was a faulty programmer so I sent a replacement, but no change in behavior. I suppose it is *possible* to get two bad programmers in a row... but then that strange device ...

This has actually come up a lot. At least 2 dozen people have contacted me directly asking this very question. A few have just gone ahead and tried it, and at least two of them have reported success while several others reported failure. It really depends on what happened when "the event" ...

Good point, I didn't really think about printing. Symbology, perhaps, instead of color. I think you got my point though.

Just throwing this out there... is color coding a possibility? Or make use of some symbol for each platform?

Or, perhaps, just ignore the hardware-specific options and let the project document it?

Yeah, that.

How is that possible? That's the whole point of calibration. If your pot goes from "97.5" then after calibration it should show 100% because that's YOUR specific 100%. As someone suggested above, perhaps you're forcing the stick down/up further during calibration then you are during normal...

We're all on the same side :) To be clear, I didn't start this thread with reference to documenting ERSky9X. I intend to start a Wiki specific to the 9Xtreme. Discussion of the ersky9x manual came slightly after, and that's great if it covers everything. No way it would be (or should be) only for th...

Is your throttle in a safe position?

I think 1000 of those resistors costs around a dollar

An update for this. I received the damaged board and repaired the pins. I still get the exact same behaviour as described earlier by fxsti. Menu, exit and directional buttons ALL work to clear the alarms screens, but NONE work once at the main screen. 2 of the 3 pots work (HOV.PIT does not). None of...

That's where a wiki will become very helpful, moreso than a forum. As long as it is logically structured, it should allow people to continue to add guides for every little thing so others can drill down to what they need without being bogged down in stuff they don't. It also allows ANYONE to author ...

I wasn't referencing any guide at all, Joao (why can't this laptop make that diacritical mark? weird. Nevermind, I can't copy paste it) João. I only took exception to the use of the word "wrong" because I don't think either way of describing it is wrong. My "long" post stemmed fr...

Tx (transmitter) sends to RX (Receiver).. I believe it is pretty much standard? And logic? ;) The sentence you wrote doesn't translate into an electronic standard, no. Logic falls apart too, because it depends on perspective. I feel like we've been through this before. We're talking about the 2-wir...

"wrong"? There is no standard and it is ambiguous.

Just formatting as FAT32 is not enough, a full format is probably required to use with ersky9x In your case, that appears to have worked for you. But I suspect most have done nothing special. I know I didn't. So it will be a recommended action if people seem to have SD issues, and thanks for sheddi...

Which, as I've said many times, doesn't matter worth a lick. It could be rated for 100W but if we're only putting out < 0.5W then we're only putting out < 0.5W. Again, it is *rated* for 1.7W... that's the max it can output. The speaker is *rated* for 0.5W and that's the max it should handle. It is f...

Don't expect so much of me in the morning

Mike, Steven, are pins 14 and 15 the ones for COM2? Edit: Mike beat me to it. Those are the UART 3.3V non-inverted Tx/Rx and, from previous discussions, I believe that's what you've referred to in the past as "COM2". Also, not using a level converter won't destroy the 9Xtreme, right Mike?...

From his description I don't think "it" did happen to both cards. I think the issue was the larger card was not formatted as FAT32 (and once it was, it worked) while the other card is likely a non-standard card. Perhaps a very old or perhaps a wifi card or one with software (security, encr...

Inspect the 9Xtreme's 9-pin header for a bridged solder joint, particularly between pins 4 and 5... but check every adjacent pair of pins just to be sure. None should have continuity, but I suspect yours might.

Can you please clarify what switch exactly we're talking about? "roll" depends on how you have your sticks set up. So is it the left or the right? (edit: Actually I guess it has to be the right since you said "burried to the right" and "outside")

I missed this thread (until you just emailed me) because it is outside of the 9Xtreme forum. I didn't think it was even possible to post where you did :) Perhaps an Admin can move it into the 9Xtreme section. Anyway, I've responded to your email. Since you're in Canada (so am I), mailing it to me fo...

Suggestions I got by email: - How to access SD card from PC - How to use voice - How to install DJT - How to get telemetry on screen A reminder that this thread isn't meant for discussion or for suggestions for improvements to the 9Xtreme design... I want to put together documentation of what we hav...

An XJT using s.port can handle 16 channels on its own, so I suspect this is a matter of a DJT doing channels 1 thru 8 and the XJT handling channels 9 through 24?

Now that people have had the 9Xtreme in their hands for a month or so... common questions start to arise, and now it is time to bring some answers. Help me out here, please. This thread is here to collect the procedures that need to be documented. If you think of something - be it basic or advanced ...

Err... but... well, of course it was a faulty unit. Isn't that precisely *WHY* it was swapped with the 9Xtreme discount? :) OK, so to those reading this that might be confused, here's how it went: When the first batch of SP Basic's were finished and began shipping to customers there were two importa...

No, I didn't read in another thread. I'd hope people would contact me directly to resolve rather than posting on forums that I may or may not ever see, and which may serve to mislead/confuse others (for example, saying " the SP Basic was a dud rather than my SP Basic was a dud - subtle but impo...

The connector on both ends of the cable are JST "ZH" plugs. For example, I found this listing on eBay . It doesn't state explicitly, but I'm assuming the other end of the cable are bare wire but you can take two of them and splice them together. You might be able to find them cheaper becau...
