Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
Hi,
I have bought the Turnigy 9XR Pro, the FrSky DJT Combo and the cable to connect the Turnigy with the module.
I have been flying without telemetry for a while now because the cable that connects the Tx with the module was late in the mail.
Now that i received the cable its time to setup the telemetry, but i don't have a clue how. I have bind the module to the plane with the 2 dip switches on the off position and in the manual it says thats the correct setup for telemetry.
Now what else is left to do. Sorry for the naive question but never done anything similar before.
Best Regards

Be very welcome to the forum.
Please, tell us what combo did you buy.

Hi, João
This is the hardware that i have :

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... II_RX.html
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... R_Pro.html
If you need any more details let me know
Thanks

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
As I thought You have the combo with the non telemetry receiver. Sorry to give you the bad news
You needed this one
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... le_RX.html
The DJT module you have is a telemtry one, but the receiver you have is a V8FR-II, which has no telemtry..
For telemetry you need the D8R-II Plus or the D4R-II
I don't know why the heck HK sells the combo with a non telemetry receiver. Many people buy it by mistake

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
That's the one..
If you want telemetry, and depending on what you want, and on your model(s), you might need some sensors..
what kind of model you will use this setup'
How good are you with a soldering iron?~

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
I can solder for "land" use if i can use that expression but i would not trust my skills to go airborne, big NO NO.
As for telemetry data i can live with 2 values Signal strength and Battery voltage.
I have been posting my setup on 5 different forums and discussing with lots of people for a period of about a year trying to be cautious on what to buy and no-one noticed module receiver mistake
Thanks for helping and pointing that out
If that is OK i will post some pics of my setup

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
Nice little plane.
Ok, you need a voltage sensor for reading the Lipo battery. DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY DIRECTLY TO THE A1 OR A2 PORTS OF THE RECEIVER. Or you will fry it.
Maybe a voltage sensor like this one..
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... e%20sensor
with some soldring (a couple resistors) you could make it yourself..
Also have a look at this project..
https://github.com/openXsensor/openXsensor
You can also follow it on this forum.

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
OK so to sum up and make sure i don't make another mistake, i need these 2:
The receiver module:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-4G-FrSky-D8 ... OSwbdpWVYN~
and the voltage sensor
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... e%20sensor
if i understand thing correctly the voltage sensor will connect to the balance plug of the batter and just needs a plug

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
If you are ordering the sensor from HobbyKing, you might just as well order the receiver from there as well.. Cheaper
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... etery.html
This one work with your module too
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... CPPM_.html
I thought the 6 channel one was discontinued but they still sell it
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... el_RX.html
And a 4 channel receiver..
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... etry_.html
All these support telemetry. Some have a few more features than the others.. Have fun

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
I guess the FrSky D8R-II PLUS is the best of the lot.
Which one would you suggest ?

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
No, that is a X series receiver for the new XJT module.. You want the D series receiver.
Like D8R-II plus, D6FR, D4R-II, D8R-XP..

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
Please bare with me and if possible gimme 2-3 complete options to choose from (Rx + accessories) so i don't make another stupid mistake
Thanks

D8R-II Plus and get a couple voltage sensors. They are cheap.

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
So if i change the Rx on the plane that means that i should trim the moving surfaces all over again ?
Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
I don't think so.. I believe all will work as before as the radio is still sending the same values

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
Thanks for you quick and on point answers.
Apart from signal strength and voltage sensors the next sensors that i may need are air-speed and altitude.
Didn't find any on hobbyking:
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... metry.html
are there any ?

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
For altitude check the openXsensor link I posted above. I'm not sure the frsky vario works with the D Series receivers. A vario will give you vertical speed and altitude.
Airspeed is a bit more complicated. I think frsky has a sensor (not sure) but it might work only with theX series system..

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
I just looked at the FrSky Vario on T9's site. The picture shows it still has the connections to support the 'D' series receivers and it has a cable suitable for such a connection.
I'm still using one with a 'D' receiver.

Hi biomecanoid,
Here is some D-Series Sensors also: (https://alofthobbies.com/radio-gear/frs ... nsors.html).
FrSky Sensor Hub - FSH-01 and FrSky High Precision Vario (FVAS-02H).
There was a lot of different D-Series Sensors and maybe still if you can find them somewhere.
I do no know where to find FrSky D-Series air-speed sensors.

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
Thanks Bob,
Is there GPS for the D-series ?
I am thinking that as an easy solution for speed and altitude readings as opposed to air-speed sensor and vario.

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
For the 'D' series you need a "hub" and the appropriate sensors. T9 in the UK have them, see: http://www.t9hobbysport.com/rc-gear/frs ... -telemetry.
The SPort vario is a special case is it also may be plugged in to a 'D' series receiver directly (without hub).

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
Lol HK messed me up good with their combo deal.
Can you please recommend an X series module and receiver and their relevant sensors.
I guess that's the proper way to go now since the D-Series is obsolete

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
FrSky XJT - JR/Graupner Type 16ch Duplex Transmitter Telemetry Module
XJT can work as a DJT module also. A lot of people still use D-series that uses A1, A2 telemetry connections.
FrSky (I believe) is shooting themselves in the foot by not making D-series sensors anymore.
FrSky X8R - 8/16 Channel Receiver with S.Port telemetry connection.
or
FrSky X6R - 6/16 Channel Receiver (S.Port) with Sbus (This also has the A2 telemetry connection).
There are other X-series receivers too.
Some of the X-Series sensors which use S.Port telemetry connection: (https://alofthobbies.com/radio-gear/frs ... nsors.html).

Re: Turnigy 9XR PRO + FrSky Module + Receiver how to setup telemetry
Si i guess i will be buying these:
Tx-Rx
https://alofthobbies.com/frsky-xjt-jr-g ... odule.html

https://alofthobbies.com/frsky-sp-gps-s ... ps-v2.html
https://alofthobbies.com/n2-minihub-for-frsky-702.html
From what i understand sensors are connected to the hub and then to the RX.
Are there any sensors that are connected directly to the Rx without the use of a hub and if so how many can i have installed without a hub ( only one ? ). The minimum sensors that i need is voltage sensor and GPS.
Can you see anything wrong with the above ?
Thanks
