Hi, I interestedly read trhough this thread and all the provided "side" threads from the posted links, as I'm setting up my first model with a FrSky S.BUS decoder. It's a 4 meter wingspan glass fiber model with a 10 servo assigments aerobatic glider (Lunak). I was planning to use decoders ...

I think that may not be a residue from the sticker anymore. Maybe it has been covered with a (electronic) lack. And that what rperkins said on previous post makes lots of sense. That kind of checking would be good. The MCU may have took a damage when reversing the polarity (been there, done that man...

Yes indeed. No obvious reason can be seen. I would start by going through joints of pin header with the iron and see if that does anything.

I did this too a sometime ago already. Sound is a lot better than any of those previous speakers. Also radio volume can kept so low now, that it has made this annoying buzz go away. Still the voice can be heard loud and clear.

Thnx for the tip, Scott!

How I powered? I'm not sure if I understand correctly but... of course it was USB powered. :D I had FUC-3 connected to external USB-HUB 2.0 (active) and that was connected to SPC and from there to X8R S.PORT. Computer were our clubs desktop computer. When ESC was connected to receiver and SPC attach...

Hi, Have you measured all the traces from the PCB between the components with conductive measurement? I have had two times a situation where a device has been plugged in with wrong polarity and there hasn't been any signs of burned components, but still the devices did not work anymore. Each of thes...

Just a minor correction to what Kilrah wrote. I just tried to upgrade one receiver which is on the electric plane. The sport upgrade application did not find the device and ESC beeped continuously. I disconnected ESC from X8R and tried again. That worked, so servos can remain to be attached.

Mike.

Yes, waiting for this feature.

-Spoogy

Ok. Thanx!

Just a quick question...

Can receiver firmware be updated even that it has all wires attached in it? Of course it has to be un-powered and S.PORT connector needs to be useable for attaching the SPC, but does it do any harm if other wires remais attached.

-Spoogy

Yes it increases by the wav or main volume, but with new speaker these can be kept quite low and you can still hear the voice clear and loud. Also I noticed that when volume is lower the backlight doesn't flicker anymore in the rythm of sound. So, I think it's definitely the power distribution which...

Hi, Does this do the trick? I cannot test it on my radio now, so that's why I'm asking beforehand. Will test tomorrow. Use some switch to start and potentiometer to change timer value. CS1 TIM 0.5 0.5 CS3 :Make a pulse on every sec., if timer is not zero and it's on last minute. CS2 TIM 0.5 59.5 CS4...

Okay, thanks for the info. It's good to know that it's coming on some phase anyway.

Hi,

Is it possible todo somehow...

I want to adjust GVAR with pot for example and use that adjusted value for countdown timer start value? So, I could have different mission time for each flight (different capacity of batteries for example and etc).

If it's then how?

-Spoogy

Hi,

The topic has it all. Is there a key combination or any other way to lock down the buttons so, they don't get pressed accidently while flying? If not then another question... should there be? At least some party are asking for this.

-Spoogy

Yes, I was using the same battery. that is a pretty night light set up you have there Spoogy! ;) I was trying to start a night flying group in my fly club, but was told 'avoid' going to that field at night 'alone'. ;) Have you done any mod to your Falcon? I basically add a pair new aileron and fixe...

This zadig driver is strange animal... some story here from my experiences. I had a HP Elitebook 8540w with USB2 and USB3 ports. At the begining, when I received Taranis it has been working properly with both type of USB ports. Then I got a new Laptop: Lenovo W530 with both type of USB ports. Instan...

Did you use same battery? Different batteries can affect by its efficiency to give the needed power. I have the same Falcon Wing (for two years now) and I'm using Turnigy 3010B motor (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__14736__Turnigy_L3010B_1300_Brushless_Motor_420w_.html?strSearch=3010B) wi...

Spoogy> same here same april board and produced 22.08.2013, in bay it says B01 in SN it says A01 but, Allen told that some radios come with bad SN labeling so B variants was labeled A01 in SN. So in this case I recommend speaking in mainboard rev and date timeline and not in SN or produce date on t...

Problem solved! I measured SPC once again and noticed that there was no connection from FUC-3 TXD to anode side of the diode. The reason was no my soldering. It was the bread board used. Each hole is daisy chained together and there was one 'link' broken. Even that it looked fine by looking at it, t...

Yeah, I'm trying to find out is my USB stick FCU-2 or FCU-3. Here are the pictures of my hardware. I did solder two servoleads coming from SPC board so it could be used to upgrade XJT also. Now I just need to get it work.. :p edit: I have this USB stick. Which one it might be?? http://www.hobbyking....

Heyyyy... I begun to doubt, at the bottom of my USB stick it says fdd_lite_rev2. Is that FUC-2 or...?!? May that be the reason?

I tried that also (as it was instructed in Scotts instructions). Only thing what was different were that I had to download those silicon labs USB device drivers directly from Silicon Labs site. The FrSky offered did not want to install to my W7 x64 computer. It extracted the executable properly but ...

Hi, I'm currently trying to upgrade new firmware to my X8R and high precision vario. I did make the SPC as instructed and installed Silicon Labs drivers for FUC-3 USB adapter. Now when I run this FrSky update software for S.PORT and select proper .frk file for X8R the receiver just flashes red light...

Hi, As said, yesterday I changed the speaker and first, when I tried with Iphone headphone cable with toroid the buzz was awful. Then I tried to cover different parts and cables with aluminium without any success. After that I got bored and just decided to solder that original speaker cable to new s...

Hi, I'm doing this speaker modification at this very moment, and I just tried one of the mentioned fix. I took a new cable from the IPhone ear headphones and soldered that to the new speaker. Surrounded it with ferrite ring. I gave it a try and now the buzz is more louder than earlier. Also now when...

I modified haptic to my old T9X and it has been a real joy to use it. I really miss that feature on Taranis.

-Spoogy

I have had the same "problem" from the very begining and that is annoying. Two other radios in our club has the same effect also, even they were produced 12/12/2013 (rev. B). I'm not sure is the problem in hardware or is it with screen refresh routine as I have not checked the code (not en...

Hi, Yesterday I received a new speaker (second one. Same as Scott has at the moment) and I'm going to combine all of these improvements (what I can do) while changing the speaker. My main problem is not the low buzz which comes when using internal transmitter, no. The buzz is terrible when using ext...

We have had exact the similar problems with couple Finnish users yesterday and day before that. I helped them same way as Kilrah did here suggesting and telling the same things. I also instructed them to un-install old driver first when radio is connected (so Windows computer will un-install driver ...
