I have a vector flight controller and I am trying to use a pot (p1) to set the gain.
I need the pot to go from 0-100% over the full range (throw) of the pot. So far all I have only been able to do is 0-100% over half the range of the pot.
I am using a Frsky X9D plus radio.
Any suggestions?

OK that explains why the comments are not saved..I can work with that. Anyway we can add "User" labels to channels? Something like in the image.....Thanks

I hope this is the correct place to report this. Using the eePskyee editor.. when using the mixer tab, I add notes to channels but they are not saved. After saving the file and closing the program, then reopening the program and file, the notes are gone. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? ...

Thanks that worked too. You have been very helpful.

What is the directory structure for images.. running er9x on a Taranis Plus, I can't seem to find the .bmps. The SD has a BMP directory.
Thanks for your help.

Yeah! That did it!! Thank you for your help. Now I can go fly with my new 'Plus radio!!

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 els...

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 fro...

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...

Thanks for the info.

HI, I have always got friendly and knowledgeable information here so I thought I would ask. :oops: I have just purchased a new Taranis X9D + radio. Have not received it yet. I am confused about firmware chooses. Can someone explain what my choices might be, and a few pros and cons? Thanks for any in...

I put together a mini how-to to help out anyone else trying to do the same. I hope it helps someone.
Thanks MikeB.
6 position switch with LEDS

Hope you had a good nights sleep. I am not sure I am doing this correctly. What I want to do is have a voice announce a flight mode when I turn the 6 pos sw. I have done this with the 3 position switch ID0 -ID2. I thought it would be same for the 6 pos sw. I have made the voice files for the flight ...

New version posted.

Thanks Mike....Please take the rest of the day off!

I checked. The mix works on the radio...

Not bad turn around! It is like having your own personal developer. :D However, I see the 6 pos in the simulator, but I guess I don't know how to mix the 6 pos switch. When I move the slider I would expect to see the channel I have assigned to it move...I don't. attached is an image of the mix for c...

Thanks Mike that did the trick!
You know what is next? Updating the simulator for the 6pos switch. But I can wait on that.... thanks again. This truly is an amazing radio due to your work.

Mike.

Thanks Mike, we do appreciate the work you do!

No, I don't see the 6 position switch in the dropdowns. I set the 6 position switch calibration with the radio and read the memory from the radio to eePskye. I see the calibrated values grayed out in the Hardware tab. How are 6 position switch position labeled in the dropdown? Or am I missing someth...

Just a heads up. That zip file was missing some dlls files needed. I copied the dlls from the older version and it works... I like the new hardware section. Will the different positions of the 6 position switch (6P0 - 6P5) be made available as switch selections? Like in the safety switches section. ...

Thanks MikeB.

MikeB I hope you had a great Christmas! I have finished installing my six position switch with led indicators. Ain't she pretty! :D I have calibrated the various hardware settings, etc. All works as expected. My question is, using eePskye, when I read the memory from the Tx and write it back, I loos...

Making good progress! I have replaced the TC switch with a 6 pos switch, soldered the R22 jumper, reused/relocated the TC wire, got power and ground for the closest pot, installed new R218h firmware. All seems good and is operating as expected. I am planning on adding some led indicator lights. That...

I am starting to see through the fog! :? Yes, if the firmware is not r217, I will need a link to new firmware. Thanks MikeB. You are a very patient man. :D p.s. What type of connector is J3 or where can I get a wire with the correct pin connector on the end to push into the J3 connector? thanks again.

OK, it make a little more sense, but still not totally clear to me. My goal is to replace the throttle cut switch with a 6 position switch. Steps to make this happen: 1) Replace the throttle cut switch with 6 position switch with 4 resistors 2) Find a 3.3 V wire and ground wire to connect to 6 posit...

Sorry more questions. I am not an electronic type but I can follow instructions if I understand them, ;) My main board is version 1.04. I am looking at a 9XR Pro wiring diagram dated 7/6/2914, drawn by SkyNorth. The note about the switch upgrade says that R22 need to be fitted with a resistor. Does ...

As I read more about replacing the ele switch to 6 pos switchI get more confused. Is there any documentation or a list of steps to change the switch?

OK, if I go the ele switch to 6 position switch, I have to do a little wiring like the wiring diagram details?

I am a little confused (so what is new). Can I replace one of the pots (p3) on my 9XR Pro with a 6 position switch that has 4 variable resistors like I did on my old 9XR? Calibrating the resistance using mission planner? Any chance the throttle cut switch could be changed to a 6 position switch? I n...

Hi Mike, We always could use more channels. Turn on lights, multiple pan and tilt cameras, Drop parachutes, etc. I am approaching this more as a science project than a hard requirement. With the 9XR Pro and the FrSky XJT and X8R, it has given us the opportunity to use 16 channels. Looking for a way ...
