There is a test version of eepskye (for Windows) on the test version thread with voice alarm editing in (e.g. copy/paste).

Mike.

Mike, in eepskye voice alarms.. Would it be possible to click a VA with the mouse and drag it to another position?
The same could be achieved when selecting a VA and then hitting the UP/DOWN keys on the keyboard..

Same for the mixes in the mixer

Thanks

João

Hi Mike,
Thank you Mike for the eepSkye upgrade!
It will be a big help for those of us using eepSkye. The newest to date Test version of eepSkye (June 16, 2016 for Windows): (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4676&p=65894#p65894).

Drag/drop is another set of code altogether.
If you look at the context menu, you will see that CTRL-UP/CTRL-DOWN moves a selected VA (or a mix) up or down already.

Mike.

Thanks Mike, I didn't know that, and I bet not many do
Drag and drop would be a nice thing as it removes the need to remember key combinations.
It is a natural thing that everyone will try as soon as we start working with a new program.
I for example, keep trying to load an eeprom by dragging it onto eepskye. I just do it without thinking

João

Well, as I said, you only need to read the context menu to see the key combination to use.
There looks to be some drag/drop code in the mixers, but it isn't working, so I will have to fix that first.

Mike.

Will have a better look later.

Thanks

João

Drag and drop a file onto eepskye now working!

Mike.

Woow.. unexpected and wonderful..

Thank you very much

João

I've found the problem with drag/drop (to COPY) mixes, so this is now working.
I'll be honest, I've cribbed a bit of code for drag and drop of files from companion!

Mike.

Nothing wrong with that I guess

Thanks Mike

João

As you are in eepskye mood lately, what about the profiles??

João

Test version of eepskye posted.

Mike.

Thank you..

João

Mike, had a quick look and all seem to be working.. Would it be possible to also drag a Model file (eepm) into an eeprom that is already open in eepskye?

Thanks

João

I'll have to investigate what that involves.

Mike.

Seems to be working, it even tries to spot an er9x model and convert it!
The only problem regarding er9x models is they were, at one time, saved as intel hex files rather than the XML method used now. This means quite old .eepm er9x files won't be recognised (before around March 2012).

Mike.

Woww Thank you..

So, that means that older models can only be copied from eepe onto eepskye as before?

João

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with Rev. 421 of the eepSKYe program (downloaded from here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4676&p=65894#p65894).

I'm using a 9XR Pro running ersky9xr v218 firmware.

I can get the TX to connect to the PC (Windows 7 Pro 64bit) and see the 2 connected drives, but when I go to "Read Memory From TX" in eepSKYe the program freezes and crashes...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

On eepskye, look at the HELP|ABOUT screen and tell us what the date is beside the 421.
Do you get a window showing "Data Transfer" appear?
If you are running r218 ersky9x, it is best to use eepskye (r419) downloaded from http://www.er9x.com/, as this matches the released firmware.

Mike.

Hi Mike,
It's Revision: 421, Jun 18 2016
I tried the r419 downloaded from the er9x.com site originally but had the same issue.
On the bottom of the screen it'll briefly pop up saying "eeprom data transfer started" then the program crashes.

Odd! I was using it on Win7 home 64bit with no problems, and I've just updated to win 10 and it is all still working.
Please try reading the EEPROM without the radio connected. Do you get a popup saying "Tx Disc Not Mounted"?

Mike.

Mike, eepskye 421, 18-Jun-2016

It doesn't save the mixer notes.

also P4 doesn't work. I did see it move a couple times, but it just doesn't work
I'm setting up a glider and the throttle is controlled by P4

Thanks
João

I had the same thing that João is saying, I made some mixer notes and they were not being saved.
Test version of eepSkye June 16, 2016 for Windows.
In the Setup tab would be nice to see P4 (SL) listed with the other P1 (S1), P2 (S2), P3 (SR) for the Center Beep too. (I was using ErSky9x on Taranis-X9D)

Bob B.

Also in eepskye, throttle reverse seems to be missing in the module editor setup windown.
P4 not present as "Custom Check" Source.

My radio's throttle stick is will be used for controlling the crow mixing and camber on this model. I need the radio to warn me when the stick is not at the top. I know i can do it in the radio, but I'm programming the model completely in eepskye with the model connected to the computer..

P4 will be the motor on this glider and I would need a custom check on it. But it is not present in eepskye, nor in the radio..

João

EDIT: Throttle source is missing in the sticky safety switch configuration..

Mixer notes may be confusing. If you save the whole EEPROM as a .bin file, there is no where to store the notes as this is an absolute radio EEPROM image. They are only saved if you save as a .eepe file of a single model as a .eepm file (both stored in XML).

I'll look into the P4 things, some of them might take a bit of time to sort.

Mike.

Thanks Mike !
I had never used Notes in Mixes before and had tried back June 16, and had gave up trying to get it to work.
I see now, how to load a saved (Save Mode/Settings, Ctrl+S) Notes back into eepSkye of (for) a single model (Load Mode/Settings, Ctrl+L). I am able to save the single model eepm file as 510 NASA-L_note P1 file name and load it back to 510 NASA-L eeprom file. I have a question about the Overwrite 510 NASA-L? to load the notes for this single model eepm. I save a copy for backup of all my older eeprom model list and so what will happen if I add the older eepm Notes
to a newer saved single model eepm file, will it remove the changed setting in the newer saved single model eepm file or just add the notes ?

Thanks, so, it is better to save the eeprom as .eepe then?? Does it save all the Radio Setup settings as in the bin file? is it exactly the same or there are differences?

Thank you

Mike.

Negative, .eepm does not save the notes..
Saving the complete eeprom as .eepe does save them..

João

Oh yes it does!
Then if you load the model back into the FIRST slot they are present. The problem is loading it into another slot, the notes are then not for the model in that slot.

Mike.
