my computer isnt recognizing my radio

[bbergovoy]

ok, well, it's been a few months since I was here, and I have forgotten everything.. figures.

I am trying to plug my radio into the windows computer but the computer isnt 'beeping' or recognizing that I plugged anything into it...

what gives?

I have read the manuals over again, but dont see what to do when this happens?

any info is greatly appreciated.

thanks

I assume you have a 9XR-PRO (since you have posted under ersky9xr).
Are you starting the Tx in "bootloader mode"? (Hold both horizontal trims inwards while you power on).
Then plug the USB cable in, you should see "Connecting" on the Tx screen and two hard drives should appear on the PC.

yes, sorry... I have the turnigy 9xr pro... and it has the xjt and djt modules, (I tried both)...

and yes, I read the manuals and followed the information given in those manuals.. so that means I held down the trim buttons, towards the center, can see the rom files, but I dont flash those files, I just connect the cable from the radio to the usb connector on my laptop... the radio says CONNECTING, but again, no beep, no indication on my laptop... I looked at device manager, and nothing.. no ports listed.. nothing.

if I dont press the trim buttons and connect the radio via the cable, the radio will say USB, and the laptop will show a camera on one of my ports, not necessarily the port that is listed when I program arduinos or flight controllers.

I reinstalled the cp102 driver. or at least I think I did... I just clicked on the install program and it does its thing... but again, no difference...

thanks

If you get "USB" and a Camera showing then the USB cable is OK and the computer (I assume windows based) is seeing this.
If you get "Connecting" then the Tx is seeing the USB cable and you should get the two hard drives appearing (no ports).

A couple of questions:
1. What version of Windows are you running?
2. Is the USB port version 2.0 or 3.0? (If 3.0, is there a 2.0 port you can try?

Hello,

I have the same problem with you but I have resolve this :

The USB connector on my 9xrpro have a little problem,for connect my radio to my computer,I must block the cable with a plastic end so that the contact this makes.

The problem it is that there is too much play between the cable and the connector.

and this functions only with one of my USB cables.

Make sure the USB plug is fully inserted in the radio.. Many people don't push it completely in.

What Jhsa is saying is the USB plug "clicks" in when it is pushed firmly enough. You do need to push quite hard to do this.
