Driver issues ?
i have just got a new usbasp and a 10-6 pin converter , so now i start all over again but now when i try to read the eeprom from the tx i get this
=================================================================================

Re: Driver issues ?
Your radio has an atmega128 installed. You just need to select the proper firmware.
Re: Driver issues ?
What do i need to do then ? whats -F
Can someone please help me get this up,running i really need to save my models and upgrade this radio ,its a stock 9xr

Re: Driver issues ?
No do NOT use -F. Just go to companion9x preferences and select openTx for 9XR with M128.
Re: Driver issues ?
Or if you want to use er9x, go to eepe and select the m128 option in the "burn menu"
As Kilrah said, NEVER, NEVER use the -F option. that can brick your radio..

Re: Driver issues ?
I've been looking at the kkmulticopter flash tool lately. You cant add the -F option to avrdude easily. I liked that. Been wondering if eepe/c9x could parse the command line options to avrdude and if it see -F, throw up a big fat warning . Do you think it is worthwhile
Re: Driver issues ?
I am getting closer . I changed the preference ,firmware to open tx for 9xr with m128 chip
But now when I read the tx I get this

Re: Driver issues ?
Do you currently have HK's original software on your radio? If yes it's normal, its format isn't compatible.
You can back up the memory with "Read EEPROM Memory to file" in case you wanted to restore the original HK firmware one day, but if you want to go to ER9X or openTx you'll have to re-enter your settings.

Re: Driver issues ?
The 9XR original firmware IS er9x. The problem is that HobbyKing, trying to make it their own firmware, made some changes to it and now it is not compatible with er9x and eepe anymore..
As Kilrah said above you will have to re-program all your models again.
The good news are, you can program the models in eepe or companion (depending on the firmware you will use), by just copying the settings "manually" from the radio. I think it is easier to do it on the computer and you won't have to figure out how to do the mixings again
then flash the firmware of choice and flash the eeprom with the models you programmed on the computer. Don't forget to save your work before..
Also after flashing the new firmware you MUST calibrate your sticks and pots.
After burning the eeprom with the models to your tx, DON'T FLY without checking everything is working as it should again.. Be extra carefull if you fly helis or multirotors..

Re: Driver issues ?
I recently discovered that HK set the lock bits in the processor preventing both the flash and the EEPROM being read.
A re-flash will clear these bits. Unfortunately a re-flash this will erase everything as the EEPROM save bit in the fuses is not set and the lock bits prevent changing this as well.
So:
1. Copy your models manually on to eepe, also copy your general settings.
2. Flash a new copy of er9x.
3. I recommend setting the EESAVE fuse bit.
4. Re-load your models and general settings from eepe.
5. Do the stick calibration.
6. Read the EEPROM as a backup.

The difficult we do immediately,
The impossible takes a little longer!

Re: Driver issues ?
I just reflashed it to er9 x and it's all good I am re doing all my models manually but I copied them all first , took pics of screens . It's faster to do the Mix menu on the pc , seems less complicated aswell
