Hello Mikeb,
Regarding your test versions, for he 9Xtreme radio is the version ersky9x9xt_Rom.zip dated 02-Jul-2016 the best to se or the earlier version ersky9xProvR219.zip dated 22-May-2016 the better firmware? I assume all the firmware denoted by ***_music .zip are all appropriate for the 9Xtreme radio.
Regards, Birdman

Yes, ersky9x9XT_rom.zip , Dated: 02-Jul-2016 12:56 is the one you need to download in Ersky9x Test Versions for the best and newest version.
Open-source firmware's are a Work In Process, as new features are being added from time to time.

Even on the latest r219, my Taranis X9E 6 POS switch installed into P3 position shows non-uniform distribution after calibration done.
First click gives about 48% P3 adjustment, second - 17%, third - 9%, fourth - 4%, fifth - 22%. Isn't that possible to adjust this range to uniform steps after the calibration?

I don't have a taranis, but on my ersky9x radio you calibrate a multi position switch in the hardware menu, not as a pot..

Sorry, had a typo in my original post.
I have a Turnigy 9x with 9xtreme board, not a Taranis. The 6pos switch is from a Taranis x9e.
I'm talking about the switch channel value visualisation on the main screen, not about calibrating as a Pot.

Calibration:

I'm not sure because I don't have a multi switch installed, but what is important as far as i know is that every position of the multi switch triggers the right switch on the firmware (P0 to P5)??
You are trying to see it still as a pot and it isn't a pot anymore. So, in my opinion (please someone correct me if I'm wrong), what you are seeing on the pot bar in the main screen is irrelevant??

If you use the 6-pos switch as a mix source, you get equally spaced positions (-100, -60, -20, +20, +60, +100) as the outputs. This is the 6-pos as the source, not P3.

Thanks, haven't tried using it as a source yet. Still it would be nice if pot visualisation was overridden when the pot is replaced by a 6POS switch.
