Re: Analog input for X8R
Is it really impossible to re-route the existing analogue port or just hellish difficult?? This does seem to be a sledgehammer to crack a nut :P From what I have read, to get to the existing A1, you have to separate 2 boards inside the receiver box as the only place you could get to it is between t...

Re: Analog input for X8R
I'd love to make some of these with a bare ATtiny or a little stripboard. Using an external resonator will work for me. Will the code work at 16Mhz? I was thinking I might order up some chips and resonators to try out. I was going to try this exact thing myself, but FrSky hasn't gotten back to me fo...

Re: Hackability, buses, serial ports?
I bet something like the telemetryEZ could be put in there. Lots of extra pins available if you do that.

Re: Walkera DEVO 8S RF Module
For the Walkera protocol, you would need the radio the module fits into, then you could connect a logic analyzer and see what it does. I have an analyzer, and could buy the module, but their TX is expensive.

Re: Program models and such via rs232?
Sounds like fun. I'll have to see about getting things set up. I'll probably start on the Android side just to see what I can fit on the screen.

Program models and such via rs232?
I was wondering if the CPU in the 9x has a UART we could use for such a thing, to copy the EEPROM data in/out. If there is, I was thinking of attempting to write something like eepe for Android, you would then install a Bluetooth device in the 9X case and could use your phone to do all the stuff eep...

Re: DSM for dummys?
Thanks! That plus calibrating the sticks got me going.
I also had to invert the RUD and AIL as having them backward when flying was confusing...
Compared to the stock TX, which isn't much I'll grant, this 9X/er9x/DSM2 is amazing. So much smoother on the sticks.

Re: DSM for dummys?
Success! The 9x binds to my mcx2 heli. The setup is all kinds of wrong though.. Lol. Anyone have an eepe file for it or another small dsm2 coax heli? I'll post some pics.

Re: DSM for dummys?
I looked at using the RTF Tx antenna tube in the stock radio and it looks like the antenna is a tight fit but will slide into the stock antenna spot perfectly. I didn't shove it all the way in in the pic since that was one of my parts radios and I didn't want to have to try and pull it back out. I ...

Re: DSM for dummys?
I just sourced a hobby zone champ RTF radio so I have an X10EMTX rf board I can use as a donor. This looks like the same one used in Rob's tutorial. Is this one of the low power modules? If so is there a known range limit on these? Also, I see that the er9x model menu has a DSM2 protocol selection....

Re: DSM for dummys?
I also found that the plastic antenna shell from the little RTF controllers fits nicely in where the rubber plug was... so the antenna can stick above the tx... not that I imagine it matters. Can you send me a pick of that? Sure... I'll get one too you soon. One thing I managed to do though, openin...

Re: Companion9x for Mac
Thanks for including Mac build directions. Any shot of removing the SVN stuff as a build dependancy? I vastly prefer git and git-svn, but the "cmake -G 'Unix Makefiles'" fails saying my src dir isn't an SVN work dir, which is true enough, but it's not really an "error" in any rea...

Does anyone have the dimensions of the battery compartment? I'd like to look into getting some cells to put a lipo together for my impending 9x... Is the current recommendation still to use 2 cell configurations?

Re: DSM for dummys?
I have a 9x on the way. My plan is to remove the TX board from my blade mcx2 rtf TX and put it in the 9x with the firmware mod. I have the programmer on the way as well. I only plan to use dsm2 for micros, so the low power TX doesn't bother me. The receivers are so reasonably priced for the 9x, I do...
