base TX hardware and electronic mods

[Irish Steve]

Rob,

From memory, which is always dangerous, and why I'm posting, there's a few hardware mods that should be done on the base unit regardless of which firmware is being used, and they are also relevant if no updated firmware is being used. I don't think we've got them all here yet. The one I am aware of, but can't remember where it is, other than I've seen it, is the mod to add a resistor to one of the boards to make simulator and buddy box options work correctly.

Could I suggest a section in Mods that is called something like Th9x basic mods or similar, so that people know what they're looking at. There's another post that I looked at and used for changing over the Joysticks from Mode 1 to Mode 2, which again, is non firmware specific, but possibly worth either linking, or getting a copy.

Like what I'm seeing at the moment, it's looking good for the future.

Here is one of the how to guides on changing the physical mode 1 to a physical mode 2

Figures, I found a more detailed version.

Actually, I would think most of the stuff you refer to would be best put in the "MODS" section. Most of what I think you are refering to is on the google home page.

I knew I'd seen it somewhere, but couldn't remember where, and it's slightly confusing that it's a base hardware mod, but it's in one of the updated firmware areas.

what I was looking to suggest is that there is a BASE units section in Mods, so that anyone using the basic unit has a starting reference point for any modifications that are appropriate even if they are not updating the firmware from the basic spec

I've just posted re that in the Mods section, as there's someone in there at the moment looking at using 2 x 9X TX's together, and if I remember correctly, this mod is needed, and I think I saw somewhere that it's advisable when using the TX with a simulator as well.

I agree. Hardware section needs expanding.

I will look at this today.

Just had a look at the mods forum:

viewforum.php?f=12

This already will cover the requirements in this thread.

For 'base hardware' mods simply post to:

'Hardware Mods'
viewforum.php?f=26

For 'Electronic mods' mods simply post to:

'Electronic Mods'
viewforum.php?f=25
