And if you could send a sample file already formatted so that the graph? Because no way I manage to convert as a .csv file to a graph presented the data correctly.

[Xeo]

You can split data into column and save file like xls/xlsx and then do graph. Easy and take 2 minutes time.

[KAL]

I use Excel 2007 which has a problem reading .csv.
Just rename the .csv to .txt
open it with excel as a text file while selecting comma as a separator.

Here a sample file made from the data you posted:

test.xlsx

Unfortunately, the data from parunastu minute flight is a problem with their showing in a transparent manner. On several positions as in "test.xlsx" no problem, but when for 10 minutes every second is adding a new line already so well is not.

[mrozilla]

What exactly are the changes?
"Add RAW telemetry logging
Initialise telemetry model on load "

[MikeB]

RAW telemetry logging simply writes the telemetry data bytes as received to the log file. It is useful for debugging. I added it to help solve a problem with the MULTI module operating in FRSKYX mode.

There was a problem with the telemetry setup (baudrate, type etc.) when changing models, this causes the telemetry hardware settings to be configured when a model is loaded.

Hi, I dont know where to put my question, hope this is the right place.

I have seen somewhere in the forum that someboody did a mod to his radio, he made an entire new case, but the thing is: I saw he had his screen colours inverted, I mean, what we all have in black he has in white (or whathever colour his radio has) and viceversa.

Is there any way to do it to the 9xtreme? It would be very cool.

[MikeB]

At the moment this is not supported on the 9Xtreme. I'd either need to modify the 'slave' firmware to do this permanently, or modify it to accept a command from the 9Xtreme and modify the 9Xtreme to have an option and then send the appropriate command to the 'slave'. The 'slave' firmware runs on the original processor and handles the display.

Mike.

[Rad]

So does that mean we could have it in a future 9xtreme software version? I think the screen would be way cooler like that.

[MikeB]

Yes, I may well be able to get the feature working on the 9Xtreme.

Mike.

[Rad]

Thanks Mike, really apreciate that. It will look way cooler. I usually do RC tank combat at night, so it would be nice to have the screen like that. I will keep an eye on www.er9x.com to see if there are news from time to time.

[MikeB]

Also keep an eye on: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4676#p65894 as I post test versions for the next release there.

Mike.

Edit: I seem to have this working OK. It will need some instructions to use so a bit later today before I post a test version.

Wow, a BIG thanks from here!

[MikeB]

Test version posted! I needed to test (and fix a bug) with the slave.

In order to update the 'slave' firmware (the firmware that runs on the original MEGA64/MEGA128 processor to support the 9Xtreme) go UP LONG from the main screen then LEFT twice to the SLAVE menu.

This menu shows the current revision of the slave firmware and the revision that is available.

To update the 'slave' firmware, simply press MENU LONG. The display will go blank for a short time while the update takes place.

[jhsa]

Thanks Mike. Will also do later..

Works perfect, I love it. Thanks for your time.

EDIT: It looks like the radio can now be used to play music!

[MikeB]

Yes, see this post: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=40&start=2610#p115779, for details.
It is actually "play a background audio file". You could, for example, create a 'playlist' of messages to tell you what manouevre to perform next, so have you own 'caller'.

Mike,
May I kindly ask you to add 'at91sam3sd8-ek' to the list of supported MCUs under Burn --> Configure menu in eepskye.exe ?

A guy is having problem updating firmware on his ARUni board. For some reason, it is always detected as a COM port. So he uses sam-ba to flash the firmware.
But in eepskye there are only 3 MCUs in sam-ba options, and at91sam3sd8-ek is not in that list.
It's not a big issue (Atmel's sam-ba can still be used stand-alone), but for the sake of eepskye completeness...

Thanks!

[jhsa]

Tell him to wire the trainer switch, or connect the trainer switch signal wire to ground.
Then the radio will enter bootloader mode and connect to the computer when plugging the USB cable and them power the board ON..

João

[andrewju]

Ah, right! Trainer switch should be the cause of not going into bootloader when connected via USB! I'll let the guy know.
Thanks, João!

[MikeB]

I very recently posted a new test version of eepskye to fix some other things, this option has also been added at the same time.

Mike.

[andrewju]

Confirmed, the option is there!

Thanks a lot, Mike!!!

I set the gimbal control (PITCH and YAW axis (Storm32)) via two potentiometers (left Turnigy). How can I do that when the potentiometer is equally at the center Turnigy beeps, or so that the scope of the potentiometer was the same as it is, but in the middle was a tolerance of about 5 degrees to the left and right, so there was no need ideally to the center set potentiometer, and to gimbal straightened?

[MikeB]

If you want a "dead band" in the centre, try using the xy-curves, something like:
X Y
-100 -100
-68 -66
-37 -33
-5 0
0 0
5 0
37 33
68 66
100 100

Mike.

Edited to add the 5 0 line.

[jhsa]

I think there is a 5 0 missing after the 0 0?

Hi Mike,

I asked this question over in the AR9x thread but this might be a better place to ask.

I am setting up a Spektrum HP6DSM module with this PCB...http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2624108

I want to keep the module bay for Flysky and mount the Spektrum board internally and connect it to PPM2.

However it appears PPM2 cannot be assigned for DSM2/DSMX.

Is this something that can be added?

Thanks
Rick

[KAL]

Hi Rick,

I had the same problem some time ago with the 9XR-Pro. Unfortunately it's not that easy.
My solution was a "cross-link". I wired ppm2 to pin 1 of the module bay and connected the spektrum module
to the place where pin 1 was formerly connected.

Rick, Mike answered you in the Ar9x thread.

It works great

What could be the reason that the clock in 9XR a hurry, every few weeks, a dozen or so minutes you have to go back an hour in the settings can not be done to make it more accurate?

[jhsa]

Mine had the same problem. There is a calibration value in the same menu where you can adjust the time. I think you need to change that value to about +20 or so. But that depends on how fast your clock is.
The right value can take some time to find. It took me about a year to find out I was adjusting in the wrong direction
