Sky9X to Taranis Conversion

So I finally managed to get a hold of my friends beloved 9X long enough to back the thing up. I'm converting the models over to Taranis, and of course the switches have different names etc. This generates an error message during conversion, along with a list of the problematic settings, which are in...

Re: Taranis 2019 seems like a downgrade...

I'll have to see what the benefits of ACCESS are. My SE has the bluetooth trainer, but it's only any good with another of the same. I do like the extra momentary, but it's in an awkward position, and I have already swapped my momentary to the left side and replaced it with a button. It's a shame sin...

Taranis 2019 seems like a downgrade...

I bought the 2019 SE, I wanted the Hall Effect gimbals, and I was drawn to the scroll wheel. Since I got it, I'm still using my old Taranis. I haven't seen anything exciting that the new radio can do. Here's what I'm lacking though: 1: No D8 Mode I have a lot of planes on this, and I don't look forw...

Wanted: SKY9X board

Mine is still working great, but I can't deal with the ergonomics of the 9xr. I really need another board for my friends 9x so I can get him up to speed.

Re: Installing OpenTX 2.0+ on Sky9X board

That's great. I'l give it a try later today. Either way, I'm just happy to have a working solution right now. I may switch back to ersky9x at some point. I needed a lot of the extra features, but ersky9x has really caught up, and surpassed in some areas. But, I think I've messed with the radio enoug...

Re: Installing OpenTX 2.0+ on Sky9X board

Aha! Thank you! Yes, mass storage works in the bootloader. I was coming from versions so old they didn't have the bootloader mode, and OpenTX had previously had mass storage mode in the main section after bootup. Works perfectly now. I should be able to cope nicely until the next openTX update. For ...

Re: Installing OpenTX 2.0+ on Sky9X board

I'm sure he didn't mean to belittle your problem. He just meant that you're posting it in the wrong place.

For me, no.
Nothing gets installed, blank screen even with boatloader switches held.

In fact, the computer doesn't even recognize it as a USB device until after the reset.

Installing OpenTX 2.0+ on Sky9X board

Hi, I've been happily running some old version of OpenTX on my Sky9X board since mid last-year. I got the bright idea of upgrading to the latest version, so I downloaded CompanionTX, and V2.0.12 for Sky9X board, and sent it via SAM-BA. Well, that bricked the radio. So, I opened it up, jumpered the e...

Re: "Flip" button on Syma X1/WLToys v949

No answers I'm afraid, but I'm watching this as i have plenty of resistors and arduino, but no crystals etc. This seems like a very simple and cheap way of putting this all together.

Re: Count down glitch on 10 seconds.

I made a short double-beep sound and put that in place of timer10.wav. Now there is some distinction between the last 10 and the below 0 sounds. That will have to do for now.

EDIT: File is attached.

First, all my sounds that I made made myself stopped working. They had been 22khz, 16bit PCM. I made them into uLaw, but that didn't fix it. Had to convert a...

Re: Does OpenTX support timer up + beep

I haven't tested this, but it should be possible to do with a custom switch. Set the switch to timer > 8:00, with a limited duration, and then use that switch to play a sound. Just tested, and it works! I had to set another switch to < time, and use AND so the beeping would stop at a set time as well.

Re: Help. My splash screen has disappeared.

? Open9x has the THt mode (starts when throttle is advanced, never stops), and THs (starts when throttle is advanced and stops again when it's back to 0). This is available for both timers, and on all boards. Exactly. It starts on first throttle advance, but never stops. Or, it only runs when the t...

I guess I'll take this one at a time. First,I had a look at the ANA screen. The numbers are fluctuating about 2 values when the backlight is on (ie. 03F4-03F2, etc) for the most part, this isn't enough to change the corresponding whole number values. When the backlight is off, the numbers are of cou...

Re: Help. My splash screen has disappeared.

Okay. I've narrowed it down. I can reproduce the problem reliably now, but I can't quite explain it. It's the backlight. Whenever the backlight is on during startup, the splash is skipped. It's actually the light, and not the setting. I went all the way back to r753 and it doesn't have the problem (...
