er9x is the best known firmware. It has a superb range of features and is well supported by the community. Well worth trying out.

Interesting discussion on the four antennas in one space alright. http://www.deviationtx.com/forum/7-deve ... ?start=200

Are you talking about the mod to the standard TH9X ? Breaking serial pins out to talk to the FrSky DJT modules ?

If you can show me the changes, I can consider whether they could go in the code, as a conditional compile. I have already done that for some users who want to use different LCDs on their custom builds. That way, they can get new revisions and build the version they need.

No No other serial pins...the standard pins from frsky mod(PPM,MISO(TX),VCC,GND,MOSI(RX)).I copied serial init code from ER9x frsky-9600 baud.You can disable TXEN RXEN after the protocol selection is complete.

I'm confused...what extra serial pins are used to talk with a Frsky module?...I said standard because are all over the net where is 9x frsky mod.ALso used the same mod for adding openlrsng teletry module to 9x.

All telemetry mods use the M64's serial port, where the THR and AIL switches are originally connected. Those are moved to free the port to connect to the telemetry data source whether it is an FrSky module, data modem for Mavlink etc. He just uses that same serial port.

Nothing unusual!

I guess we were talking about the same thing, I just hadn't seen Kilrah's hack to bring them all out on the 5 pin module connector.

So back to your solution, how are you connecting the multiple modules to the five lines ?

Exactly.Nothing out of ordinary.I think we can safely say ..standard pins for Frsky/openlrsng telemetry.

Multiple modules are connected like yours to an Atmega 328( using serial pins to communicate )to er9x firmware...PPM stays the same.As I said before is not fully integration of all protocol(coded in M64/M128) in er9x.My multi module will allow also telemetry when is finished.There is already code for Hubsan/Frsky telemetry on the net.I already ordered one module from OSH park..PB shared there his PCB files.I'll attach an m328 my code and I'll have a multi module..with er9x ..this is my goal.

Ah now the picture is much clearer. So you are running the protocol code in an external ATMega like me, you just prefer a different method of switching between them. I though as some others did you had integrated the protocol code into ER9x. Thanks for staying the distance and clearing that up. Reading your comments back now make much more sense.

As I said before with mike it is possible to do that but doesn't worth the effort...theres are not so many pins left on M64..I need for that 4-5pins free.Plus you can make it easily external or put everything inside if you want.

You certainly confused me for a bit. Especially by using the WLToys transmitter in your video, I thought you had maybe done that to free pins up. Now I fully understand the idea, I like it more !

That WLtoys is transformed TX DIY with serial lCD and M64 core,,,,,and of course modded ER9X firmware..I used more for testing different things and ideas.PB used an attiny for interface....but i don't like it,.... used like that ...if you already using another chip better put all protocols on that one and that's it.

Your module/code can be easily adapted to be used like that with a modified er9x.

Yes indeed it could be modded to use the same selection code as you, good point.

Standard serial connection to Er9x (Turnigy 9X)-Frsky/openlrsng telemetry.Posted that because I see is not very clear,from tutorials.
