Re: Is anyone still DIYing Radios?

Uops, I have just seen this post. And I have just seen your post :) Cool to find someone here also building guitar pedals. Amazing. Yeah, at the moment I am into digitally controlling analog effects.

Re: Reading LiPo sensor FLVSS with Arduino Uno

I didn't know you had done something like this Mike, very nice. Been using the oXs till now. Will have to have a look at this project of yours, I might learn something 8-) if all we needed was to read 3 cells only, would this work on an ATtiny85? I think the problem is that the ATtiny does not have ...

Re: Is anyone still DIYing Radios?

Thanks Mike.. You have been doing an excellent work with ErskyTX and the receivers. I have been building the D16 receivers from Midelic's project, so I don't really buy original receivers anymore. It is fun to build them. I am also not buying more radios as I have enough. I am open for new modificat...

Is anyone still DIYing Radios?

Hey guys, Many of you might remember that I was quite active here a while ago, and then kinda disappeared :D Well there are a couple reasons for that. As you know I was always very interested on DIYing my own radios, and actually built a few based on the old 9X radio. I still use them :) But with th...

Sounds more like a usage issue, like they were 3.3V only modules and were powered with 5V.
Very common mistake, I would say ;)

Re: Several problems with 9XR Pro

Looking at the screen while flying is not a good idea, obviously :) But set some alarms and listen to your telemetry instead. Like this you can keep your eyes on the model you're flying ;)
With ErskyTx you can also listen to your favorite music album while you fly ;) I do it all the time :P

Re: Taranis X9D Powered off mid flight

We could add a confirmation screen so that when you switch off, you have to confirm you want to power off (e.g. MENU/ENTER button) so the radio continues to function if the power switch does fail in flight. Mike This could probably add some extra safety, even to radios with a normal 9x type switch,...

Re: Taranis X9D Powered off mid flight

Well if the switch fails so as to do the exact same as if you moved it to the off position, how would the radio know you didn't? No, I mean the switch fails like having a bad connection when it is ON. For a switch to fail the way you described it must be disintegrating completely :D As I said, on m...

Soft power helps IF the conditions are met i.e. they have a setup that provides telemetry and the option to keep on hasn't been disabled... What you mean, "the option to keep on"? :o Such an option should not exist, or am I missing something here? ;) The radio shouldn't turn off unless WE...

Mike, with soft power this should never happen even if the switch goes bad? :o Remember I have designed a new Switch board for my 9x radios? This was the reason. My power switches can go bad any time they like, but unless they short to ground the radio will continue powered until the switch is moved...

What about an ATtiny85? I know serial could be done via software serial, but would it work with the oXs code without modifying it??
