I'm just a newb, but I'd bet a pound to a brick it's a firmware issue that can be sorted.

Good luck with it.

Hey Fatcnt

Did you buy the taranis here in Oz ?

If it's where i bought mine, they will go out of their way to help.

Thanks Scott

I have ordered the unit & still waiting for it to show up.

Thought I'd muck around with the Open Tx settings while I'm waiting.

Looks like a very cool accessory for my Taranis !

Cheers!

Hey all,

Can anyone tell me if the FrSky GPS (Smart Port) module is plug & play or do you need to set it up in Open Tx ?

I've played around in the telemetry screens in OpenTx but can't find any settings for GPS.

It's ok,

The trim was the problem

My Taranis arrived today with the well documented issue of the throttle stick not staying fully down. It would spring back up a few notches. I opened the case and finally worked out how to adjust that, and took the ratchet tension off and a few other spring adjustments to suit. Now I can't calibrate...

I just got a Taranis today.

I have a screen problem too. The top part of the Channel Monitor screen (the actual line that say's CHANNEL MONITOR) is washed out with weird dark areas.

Thanks Mike,

I recall that problem with not being able to download.

I thought maybe I needed to manually download from somewhere.

Cheers,

Paul.

What is the latest version of the eePe Editor ?

Mine is still at revison 405, 27th April 2014.

Hasn't there been any updates since then ?

Thanks Mike !

Update:

I just tried it with a different laptop. Same deal.

Phew thanks,

I thought something really weird was going on my end.

Cheers.

I can find altimeters, Temp, Voltage sensors for FrSky Telemetry but I can't find any airspeed sensor.

Is there anything out there that would work with the FrSky hub ?

I can download the *.hex file ok so I guess that's all that really matters till I can sort the problem out. Must be thinking I am running a virus or something as I get the same server denial response if I try to download the file from the eepe website. Something to do with google checker or some suc...

Must be something with my computer & internet connection ?

Oh well. Life goes on.

Actually say's; "server replied: Forbidden'

???

I ran eepe this morning and it say's 'New Version Available'

When I click download, it trys to download it but returns an error saying; 'Cannot download, server denied' or something like that.

Never had a problem before.

Is it something my end ?

Cheers.

Thanks to all.

I'll route them inside the plane. (Balsa/Ply).

Hey guys, How do you all mount the FrSky style dual antenna wires in your plane ? With my heli I plan to tape each antenna wire to the boom supports. With a plane, can I just tape them to the insides of the fuslage, say one each side or should they be routed to the outside of the plane somehow? (Sor...

Shall do. Thanks!

Thanks Joao,

I'm really an electric flyer, but yes, can't quite see a power 60 or 90 electric in this. I love the growl of a 4 Stroke gas.

No nitro either for this one. Got to be gasolene!

Cheers,
Paul.

Actually, I think using 2 channels will be the way to go. I was hoping to keep the channel count to a minimum but will looks like I'll have a spare anyway. This is a large gasser I'm going to build with 6 servos in the wing, 3 in the fuse. 9 Servos all up. Eng, Rud, Elev, Ail, Gear, Flaps. (It's a H...

Thanks all.

I'll try that HK servo reverser cable,

Hey all,

Can anyone give me an example of how to program a reverse servo please?

I'm setting up a plane with retracts & flaps & need one of the flap servos to work in reverse using a Y cable.

Is that possible ?

Cheers,

BF:)

Oh, & er9x-FrSky firmware of course !!!!

Thanks SM & Mike, I'll get that pic as soon as I can. It's only off by a whisker, but enough to not 'look right' if you know what I mean. On a positive note, I now have all the main mods done to this Tx. HK Blue Backlight, Smartieparts r 2.3 board & TelemetrEZ. Rhino LiPo Tx battery pack, Fr...

Thanks Showmaster I'll try and get a pic of it. I just pulled it all apart again and yes, the actual LCD sits in its own 'frame' so that can't be out. I moved the Hobby King backlight over a mm or two but the display still isn't quite centred. It's only a hair, but enough to annoy someone like mysel...

I just flashed the latest er9x FrSky version today. It's a physical issue rather than electronic. The whole LCD display needs to be moved a few mm's to the right as you look at it. But the actual 9x's LCD is positioned in it's frame. Then, the HK Backlight itself sits on top of that, fixed with doub...

I installed a HK Blue backlight kit in my Tgy 9x some months ago. I was never really 100% happy with the end result as the LCD Text display seemed to be a little to one side with the left side characters being almost off screen. Not that bad, but enough to be annoying. I opened it up recently to ins...

Ah! making sense now.

Thanks Mike!
