Don't want to do something stupid!

Post by farmertom »

Hi,
New to the Taranis X9D plus radio. Got it delivered this morning.
I am wanting to upload new firmware. but I have a few questions.

1.Is e9dp_rom.bin the correct firmware for my radio?
2. I can edit the models with eepe or eepeSky?
3. How can I transfer my 9XR pro radio models to the Taranis?
Can you point me to step by step instructions ?
Sorry to be such a nubie.

For ersky9x, the correct file is x9dp_rom.bin for the Taranis plus.
Yes, eepskye supports reading and writing the EEPROM and editing the models.
Connect the 9XR-PRO to your PC and read the EEPROM into eepskye. Now disconnect the 9XR-PRO.
Connect the Taranis plus to your PC, and read the EEPROM into eepskye. You should now have two windows open in eepskye. Simply drag models from the 9XR-PRO window to the Taranis Plus window. Finally, write the Taranis Plus window back to the Taranis Plus.
You will need to check the models as the 'PRO and the 'Plus have different numbers of pots and switche types.

Update.
After many "lets try it again" I seem to be able to edit the eeprom file now! :D And my old model shows up...
Thanks I am sure I will be back for more help!

some success.
was able to flash new firmware (x9dp_rom.bin).
Still unable to change eeprom . Have tried to read in eeprom from 'plus into eePskye, change the name of the file and write it back to the radio. I get an error message saying that it is an invalid eeprom file.
Attached is a screen snap of preferences window.

any suggestions? Please. Thanks

Did you do this:

Simply drag (each model) models from the 9XR-PRO window to the Taranis Plus window.
Finally, write the Taranis Plus window back to the Taranis Plus.
You will need to check the models (each model settings) as the 'PRO and the 'Plus have different numbers of pots and switches types.

Two eeprom windows open, drag and drop each model from your 9xr-pro eeprom window to Taranis eeprom window.

Remember to save everything to your mac before flashing back to Taranis.
May try shut-down mac and reboot, may help.

Thanks I have got the model editing working.. All seems OK BUT I am not getting sound now.
I have checked to make sure the sound files are there. I added a few of my own from the 'Pro radio. I also don't see the images show neither.
Is the directory structure different?
Here is what I have. What else do I need to check/change.
Thanks

erSky9x uses some different sound file then what opentx uses.
Voice Pack found here: (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7715).

The SD card file names / folders are also different.
