Any of yaw tried the DIY "switch-ona-stick" mod? Seems like a good place for my panic/rescue switch, maybe.

I'm glad that site with the gimbals was in a language other than my native tongue, I didn't stay very long and consequently didn't spend any money.

why not leave ersky9x firmware installed. Doesn't it have more functionality? It appears it has more "live help".

Your not hi-jacking. Are you starting the transmitter up with the left horizontal trim (rudder trim mode 2) button held to the left when starting up the tx?

UPDATE - just realized your using a Taranis this is for the 9x with the 9xtreme add-on board. Your still not hijacking, just trying to.

Couldn't tell by me. One of the attributes of being gullible.

Thanks.
Thank you to Mike, Daedalus66 and you João.
Stick a fork in this one.

Maybe I saw some replacement Taranis replacement springs and they were giving 4 of them or something but there are only 1 per axis. Yep, I was on the 3rd one down, "RV". I changed it back to "2 then to 3" and now it's reading right on both the numeric and the diagana screens. Thi...

Mike, The stick values are almost the same as on the numeric screen. I set the deadband in the (hardware) deadband screen to "4" and then to "15" and it showed "-0.1 to -0.4" (diagana) and on the numeric screen "-0.1 to -0.7" (post mixer) What I don't understa...

will do, thanks

Mike, You are correct, that is the only reason i notice it is because it's on the numerical output screen. It doesn't show on the graphical output screen. (lack of resolution) When adding deadband should it make a difference as to the reading on the numerical output screen or just to the servo itsel...

jhsa,
I don't know why pot 5 was set to EXT 1. (I suspect a gremlins) I now know why it was showing up on the calibration screen. My volume control is actually set to pot 1.
Thanks for solving my reversal problem.

btw - it was -4/10ths (-0.4) not "-4.0", sorry

Naturally I would leave out 2 dedicated people. No, no added hardware. I'll have to go to rcg and find the instructions that were given. All 3 , rud ail and ele all have springs maxed out and I would put stronger springs if I thought the little tabs where you hook the springs would hold up and not s...

When I release the elevator stick if I'm releasing from a positive number, stick in a climbing mode/pulled toward me it will return to zero every time. If I'm releasing from a diveing stick direction, stick away from me it will never zero it will read -1, -2 or -4 every time. Once in a while if you ...

no worries, if I read as many post as you have and answered as many help questions as you have I'd be brain dead and drooling on myself. You (and a few others) are truly the man in the trench, day after day, since I first discovered er9x in 2009(?) erazz, you, mike and steve. I'm grateful cause I'd ...

I think if you read the title of my post or the subject of my post ...
I kept thinking he will see the title and all will be good.

btw - as for pot 5 in calibration, there is nothing to turn or adjust to calibrate is there?

When I looked at the er9x manual I looked under the heading "Hardware" since I was in the hardware menu on the tx. Should have let my gaze drift up 3 inches to "STICK REVERSE". My first mistake was reversing the throttle on the other screen and after coming to the stick reverse s...

As the below pic shows, rudder and elevator reversed. The throttle was reversed on a different screen. I did the rud and ele but can't get the aileron channel to highlight. I don't know the scheme to move the highlight I just luckily got the ryud and ele channels reversed. Maybe someone can tell me ...

The computer can talk to the transmitter, through Eepskye but that's the opposite direction than you stated.

Thanks to jhsa for the videos and those to come.

I tried it fully in (several times) and it produced an area about 2 marks either side of center that was like slop, had no tension and the stick would fall over. So now I have it "fully out" as in I took the spring fully out and now all is fully well. Both X-axis are maxed out and both Y-a...

Thanks João,
Mine was acting weird or so I thought. Then I was thinking I don't really know how it's supposed to act. Think I'd better stop thinking and ask for directions.

thanks again

Hey, When the screw is all the way in it disables the centering spring. If it's halfway out is there any difference than almost all the way out as in how hard it returns to center or something else like how fast it returns at different settings?Mine seems funny or it could be me. Maybe someone can t...

well I guess you told me.

I did find this from Mike, end of Oct, things may have changed since.

this was from nov 6, I'm sure there are more now.

looks like jhsa has the hot ones listed, one side is "a" and the other is "b"

the last time I saw the list of pins you could use all were not hot and yea you have to map it in the radio and tell it what's up. THE LIST IS HERE, l'LL LOOK (damn caps)

João explained it to me on RCG, swap the switch and pole hookup and the extra pole wire to one of the free pins that Mike has enabled. I don't think all are hot.

João, I just noticed readymade rc has the pr10's in stock and the sliders for the T and the T-Plus but not the X9E sliders. RMRC says pre 2014 radios had the ratcheting type and the new ones are smooth with a detent. If they hang on the detent, I would rather have the older ones also. I suppose the ...

jhsa, If Aloft ever gets the T-gimbals back in stock, I wouldn't have to remove my 9Xboard to install them would I? I saw you mentioned "Amplified Gimbals", are they worth the extra bucks, (I'm guessing they cost more) more precise when centering? Something new for me. I just realized the ...

Steve, if that's the only thing that falls off/I tear up on my radio. I'm already hiding the raggley snaggled out speaker grill mod that went horribly awry with a piece of black acoustically transparent foam. My main concern is when is the next 9XTreme iteration coming down the pike, I've got a virg...
