rperkins, your bootable .iso saved the day. I had to install the latest Crosspack on the Mac back when 1.52 came out to get it working with the Taranis. Evidently it installed avrdude 6.x like you suspected. Just brought the 9x back to life with your little linux distribution. Thanks so much. That i...

I'm not sure. I'll have to check. I'm on a Mac, and did have to update some things a while back to get Companion 1.52 working. I've been primarily using my Taranis, so I'm not sure I have flashed the 9x since those updates. Will do some more checking, and I do have your bootable .iso working on a th...

Hello folks. I hadn't updated firmware in my 9x in a while. It was running r2688, and I decided to update to r2940 this evening. First I downloaded the eeprom and saved it. The unit is stock except for the addition of a smartieparts board which has always worked flawlessly. I started the flash of r2...

Which revision of openTx are you running? In the bootloader I've written, I have support for the MAC in two ways: 1. I handle the EJECT command an (hopefully) stop the remount. 2. An option to keep the SD card offline to allow much faster mounting of the EEPROM drive. As I don't have a MAC, these a...

Hi, One last call for help. Getting the Taranis tomorrow and I need to plug it in to the computer to tinker :) Thanks I had to do some searching to find it again, but this solved it for me when 1.52 first came out. I simply installed the crosspack as described in this thread: http://openrcforums.co...

Great work Mike. Thanks!

For the firmware preference you have "opentx for 9x board". Change that to the Taranis board and it should work. It's right in the middle of your image. Hope that cures it.

You should only have to change the Firmware setting in Preferences. I don't have a 9xr, but do that with Taranis and T9x. I haven't had the 9x attached in a few weeks though. Maybe I should confirm that.

I'm now using 1.41 without problems after upgrading to Mountain Lion this evening. Thanks for all the suggestions and help!

Ken

It is strange. The 1.39 that is working is this one. https://code.google.com/p/companion9x/downloads/detail?name=Companion9x-1.39.dmg The one that had the _2146 extension did not work. My machine was downloading the Mountain Lion upgrade when I left for work this morning. I'll install that tonight. ...

Thanks Romolo. I need to update to Mountain Lion anyway, and will do that over the weekend. 1.41 still failed on Lion.
I am using the 1.39 you posted above (now in the deprecated section). 1.34 also works well until this is sorted.

Hi Steve. Yes, I've been using Companion on the Mac for a year now so .97 was installed long ago. Just had problems with the couple of
recent updates like you and others have had. I'm about to load 1.41 now. Thanks, and that is an excellent description of the installation routine.

The 1.39_2146.dmg fails for me on a Macbook with Lion 10.7.5 os. The version Romolo linked above loads and works, but like Mutchy I have not had the transmitter connected yet. I'll be able to try that tonight. Thanks for all the work on this.

Ken

Good, glad you solved it!

I bound two D6FRs last week. I don't remember the details now, but I don't recall having any problems. Are they new? Mine were in use with a 9x before.

Say you have several curves created. If you are looking at curve 1, you can click the tic box on another curve and see it superimposed on the view of curve 1 for comparison.

Hi Ted. I only meant that it took a couple minute for me to realize that the transmitter had to be attached to install the driver. I was on XP Pro by the way. Sure wish I knew what to tell you on your problem.

Ken

Hi Kilrah. I see one thing in the manual that might help people installing the Windows driver. You might repeat "The first thing to do is to power your radio off and connect it to your computer's USB port." under the installing the driver heading. I jumped straight to installing the driver...

Thanks Romolo!

I see what you mean. I can't manually make changes to those fields or clear them either. I don't recall trying in earlier versions of C9x.

Ok, sorry then, I misunderstood the problem.

Ted, if I read correctly, you say you are trying to type in the field? Use the Open Folder button and then choose a folder on your drive. That should work.

I don't have an msrX, but I do have an msr flying with the orangeRx module (replacement version). I simply plugged it in the 9x and set channel order to TAER in the mixer. The only thing else I added was "sticky throttle cut". This is with Open9x and just a Smartieparts board. No other har...

Steven, I would be interested in the daughter board also.

Ken

Thanks. That's what I figured. Just wanted to verify my suspicions. I believe it was the same when the first one came.

Showmaster and Scott, was your USPS tracking info ever updated after leaving China. Mine still says accepted for shipment.

Thanks,
Ken

Thanks guys.

Thanks Rob. Yeah, I noticed some in Europe and other countries had them. I guess the ones for USA are in a container at one of these ports
where they are talking about striking!! No biggie. Have a Happy New Year!

Ken

Has anyone had a replacement delivered in the USA yet?

Have you installed eepe or Companion9x? I didn't have to do anything on my macbook. It just worked with either of those apps running.
