Just came across this kickstarter: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/navspark-arduino-compatible-with-gps-gnss-receiver For a small arduino compatible GPS receiver. I wonder if someone who knows a bit about this stuff could compare it to the current available GPS modules that are common in RC copter...

Ok! Here's the problem! tl;dr version: I was naming the downloaded firmware with a .bin on the end, and because of that, Comanion9x told avrdude that the file was binary, even though it was hex. avrdude thought the burn was successful, but really it was bad because of the file type mismatch. Full ex...

Well, I just tried it using Windows 7 (Running via Virtualbox on my mac[1]) to flash OpenTX (with only mavlink, same settings as I was using on the mac) and it worked! So at this point either the problem is with the Mac Companion9x version and it's downloading the wrong build, or my mac version of a...

My 9xr is new, and apparently for the last 6 months they have been making them with the ATMega128 chip instead of the 64. I'm attaching a pic of the chip with the label visible - so I believe the setting is correct. Just for kicks I tried the non-128 build, and I get this error when trying to flash ...

Hello all. I'm trying to flash my 9xr for the first time and set it up with telemetry (via orange open lrs module). I'm trying to start by flashing OpenTX (with Mavlink support) but when I flash the firmware the tx no longer boots at all (Power button is lit up, but nothing on the screen). I am able...

I know this is an old post, but I just installed 1.52 of the Mac Companion 9x installer, and it did not appear to update my avrdude. $ avrdude -v showed the super old version from 2007. So I did the crosspack install as mentioned above, and it worked great. I see that they just created a new release...

I'm actually used to a process where master is the dirty bleeding edge and releases get branched off. This is probably a more common approach to using Git (and how most projects do it on github in my experience). New features are developed and tested in branches, and as the new feature is stable, y...
