Should work OK.

Is your X9Lite the standard version or the S/Pro version? I just did a test on my X9LiteS with an external XJT-Lite and was able to bind to a D8R-IIPlus and a X8R (running UNI firmware) with no problem. The (test) erskyTx firmware I'm running may have some changes related to the XJT-Lite. I'll check...

What version number is reported in the erskyTx "version" menu?
I assume you mean you cannot choose a XJT-Lite module, but can select PPM, Multi etc.
Have you changed the Type to "D8" for the D8 protocol?

I'll check on my X9Lite.

Mike

Both my prototype X9D and prototype X9D+ have extra connections made to the JTAG pads JTCK and JTMS, and erskyTx includes options in the hardware menu to use these as extra switches called PB1 and PB2.

Mike

If you have the 9Xtreme upgrade board, then you need to use eepskye (not eepe) to connect to the Tx. Check your mixer configuration and see if the trim checkbox is not ticked in some of the mixes. If a trim is not required in any mix, then the trim switch doesn't move the display, and you may then u...

Why a 5 second delay in the motor starting?
Sounds as though the speed controllers are using different centre positions. I would try changing the sub-trim (in the limits menu) on one of the motor channels to adjust the centre output position.

Mike

Yes, an upgrade board would be necessary to use that module, unfortunately, I don't believe any such boards are available any more.
erskyTx (er9x for ARM processors) is available for the Taranis (and many other FrSky transmitters).

Mike

I've just fixed the links so they should work now.

Hi Mike,

That link leads to a 'file not found' (and also for the regular X-Lite).

Ahh, a typo!
Copy the link, then use it with the 'L' change to 'l' (lower case).
I'll fix it at some point.

Mike

On http://www.er9x.com/ there is a version of erskyTx for the X-LiteS (rev 223).

Mike

Smart Port needs 57600 baud and "half Duplex" so with the Tx pin connecting to the SPort signal. The SPort is also inverted, and there is a comment in your PNG file saying you may need external inverter hardware, although the options also imply there are invert options for Tx and Rx signals. Standar...

The main problem is you are using Pixhawk passthrough telemetry. There just isn't enough flash space in the '64 to be able to process that. Since you have RSSI working, then the Smart Port from the R9 module is working. I tested the same firmware with a R9 Rx and a FrSky vario on the SPort and got t...

Try changing the UsrProto to FrSky, not FrHub.
I'll see if I can check thing out later, I don't have a '64 9X any more, but can try the '64 firmware on a '128.

Mike

I just downloaded X20-EU.zip (1.4.3) and used the .bin file to create the composite file and flash this to the radio. This all worked fine and both Ethos and erskyTx ran OK. I haven't been updating my bootloader (or used suite), so I'm still using quite an old bootloader. I'll look to update the boo...

Failsafe is deactivated as soon as a valid packet is received, no waiting time.

Mike

You appear to have R820 on your Tx. R821 has been released. This may have the R9M type in it.
Try D16 and see if the SPort telemetry does work.

Mike

In the Protocol menu, after having selected XJT, check if you are able to set the Type to R9M. With the ATMEGA64, there is limited support for the R9M module, there is not enough flash space for full support. For the Telemetry, it should work if you connect the SPort signal on the back of the module...

The SPort protocol document is released by FrSky under a NDA, so we cannot publish it. You do (probably) need to look at the c/cpp code available on Github for erskyTx, openTx, edgeTx or the multiprotocol module to pick out the data scaling for individual sensors, and the specific checksum calculati...

A quick way to check what telemetry values are being received is to go to the Telemetry|Logging menu. As well as being able to select which values are logged (when turned on), there is a tick at the very right of the display beside every telemetry value that is being received (or is always available...

CRSF/ELRS telemetry should be automatically handled if the module is set to XFIRE protocol.

If you get the "No Telemetry" audio message, then some telemetry was being received. Do you see a RSSI value on any of the telemetry displays?

Mike

Yes, there are logical switches in the firmware (24 of them available!), so no hardware needed. So just set the first logical switch (L1) as I show above, then you may use L1 as the source of a mix, and then the output of the channel the mix is on will change between 1mS and 2mS as L1 changes (actua...

When selecting corssfire protocol (used by ELRS as well), the baudrate is set to 400000.
If the module sends the synchronisation data, then erskyTx will use that to minimise any latency.

Mike

For completeness, the RX8R-PRO does support D8 mode if you flash the V1-FCC firmware (file "RX8R_Pro_FCC180601.frk").

Mike

The SKY board is an upgrade for the 9X, so, by default, the only 3-pos switch is the ID0-ID1-ID2 switch, all the others are 2-pos switches. By using a logical switch, you may achieve your aim, no need to modify the firmware. Set up a logical switch: L1 F-flop GEA !L1 This will then change state (tog...

Scripts are here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10668.

I assume the module will work at full power, but I cannot test it myself. The script did allow setting the power when I tried it.

Mike

I believe it is fully functional, however I only have a single ELRS module, and that is in "Lite" format, so I cannot test it in the 'PRO. The hardware of the 'PRO does support Crossfire and ELRS. There is a script available for configuring the ELRS module, so all settings should be available. My mo...

Please try ParameterOptions[200] on line 11. I think the 200 could be increased to 250, if necessary.

Mike

Posted from a PM sent to me: I hope this might be the right place to ask this question. I have Taranis -X9D+ and OrangeRX module, and can not bind a UMX Radian. I am using OpenTX companion and just can not to get it all to bind. Really could use you help, PLEASE! Please find picture of what I have ...

Create a "Scripts" directory in the root of the SD card, then put the .bas file in there.

Mike

Here is the list. Many changes are adding support for new radios with large, colour screens. Logical switch enhancements and support for additions to the multiprotocol module are the main changes for all radios. Add support for: T18, TX16S X10Express X10 hall sticks support RM-TX16 handle bad rotary...
