Hi
I have seen my problem - the latest Companion was giving a different presentation of mix symbals from my Radiomaster so it was leading me down the wrong track

Hi CH1 RUD 100 0 ON OFF ON ON ADD AIL 100 0 ON OFF ON ON ADD I've been using this set up with ERSKY9X on 3 chan small indoor models for some time and it suits me well - still fools me into thinking I'm flying 4 channel! The problem is that I cant replicate it with OPENTX - any ideas ? Hans

Hi
Converted to Radiomaster with OpenTX - this gives full information on vario in flight controller.
All information readily available and works perfectly!

Hi I noticed a recent video on YouTube by Andrew Newton using a flight controller barometer as a vario. He used smartport to get the vertical speed from the flight controller and then selected the vario source in Open TX. Can this be done with ersky9XT using Extreme9x? I am using the Extreme9x TX wi...

Hi Mike Tested the Distance telemetry parameter today. 3 flights with maximum distance 1 mile The results seem to be reliable using units of feet and give great graphical results The values obtained will need to be multiplied by on average 3.28, so I will apply a multiplier of 328 and a divisor of 1...

With everything connected up, go to the "model setup" menu and select "Telemetry". You should get a popup with 5 options, the last of which is "Sensors", select this. You should now see a list of "unknown sensors", that is sensors with IDs that are not handled automatically by ersky9x. Hopefully, o...

Hi Mike
Thanks for taking the time to give me the details - I know you have many enquiries going
I will give it some testing
thanks again

Hans

Hi Mike Refering to Github:- When using the Frsky telemetry module, the parameter was described as calculated by Open TX https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav/blob/master/docs/Telemetry.md But with Smartport and a Flight control board, the sensor is now described as 0420 - distance to GPS home fix http...

thanks for interest and putting the work in, Mike
I will let events unfold before proceeding
regards
Hans

Thanks for the quick reply and the help Mike
I will give it a try but I may need to come back for some more help with this procedure
regards
Hans

I'm not aware of application ID 0420 being a "distance" value. It is not defined as such by FrSky, nor is it defined in the openTx code. What hardware at the receiver end are you using that might be sending a specific value with this ID? If such a value is being sent, then recent test versions have...

Hi Mike/Joao

I'm looking at logging RSSI against distance from home.
I have seen that Open TX has a sensor 0420 that gives distance from home but I cant find the equivalent in Ersky9x.
I'm using a Extreme9x with version R222c2
Any ideas?
regards
Hans

Hi Joao Thanks for the rapid response and helpful information. I understand now - With previous versions, I could insert a model number in General and the model number ( and name) would be read from the list that I had put in the Root directory. But following your advice to put either number or name...

Hi Mike/Joao Having a bit of trouble with model name voice files since downloading R222c2 on to the 9Xtreme. When editing a new model, the model voice file is now shown as a Name option only (previously was Number) although the old number options are continuing to play for old models. I have entered...

I have posted r222 c9, which supports the R9M flex firmware on most radios.

Mike

Mike, I really appreciate your hard work, you keep the hobby moving forward
Downloading R222 c9 to test now!

Hans

I've got something implemented, and at least the menu for selecting the operation seems to be working, although I think I'll need to do a few changes from something I've just read. What radio are you using? I'll build a specific test version for you to try. I haven't flashed my module and Rx to fle...

hi budavaril
I'm using the latest EU firmware on the TX/RX but telemetry is only on 25mw
regards
Hans

Hi Mike Just doing a bit more testing on the R9M and R9MM RX with the 9Xtreme (r222c2). I have found that with XJT protocol, I can get 16 channels at all power settings (unexpected ) but telemetry only at 25mw when bind is set to chans 1-8. Also I am able to select power levels of 200 and 500 in thi...

Mike
Impressive reply - I was temporarily stunned!

I will now spend some time digesting this

Many many thanks
Hans

Hi Mike Just setting up voice file warnings on my Extreme using ersky9x9xt r222c There are several new inputs on this latest version and I can't figure out how the new Trigger and On delay parameters are working - I am getting strange results and interactions when selecting either All, Both and the ...

Mike
Thanks for the rapid reply and excellent advice (11:16 on Sunday night!)
I can now carry on with testing
You keep the hobby going
many thanks

Hi Mike Just testing the R9M module (red version EULBT from T9) in my 9X Extreme on the bench. I have loaded the test firmware ersky9x-pc2r222 from the zip file ersky9xProvR222c2. My receiver isn't wired up or bound yet so I am just checking out the TX protocol settings first and I have a couple of ...

Bob, Mike, Kilrah
Thanks for the help
Downloaded Companion to open Robs file and deciphered his mix (some messages about old versions - but I ignored these)
Now I need to work on transferring this to ErSky (9Xtreme)
many thanks guys - keep up the good work
regards
Hans

RoB

Any ideas?

Hans

I 'm not sure I understand it - but thanks for the work Mike !

Hans

Hi Mike
Amazingly rapid response - whats more its positive - ErSky9x provides the answer again
Great work Mike
I'll follow your instructions
Many many thanks
Hans

Hi Guys I have been following the youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZxMvTCN_pI) showing how this can be done with Open TX ie send the RSSI value back to TX via telemetry return it to the RX via 2.4Ghz then through to the FC and OSD via SBUS Open TX provides an inputs page to source RSS...

Thanks for the explanation Mike - that makes sense now

Anyhow its all working well for me on the 9Xtreme

Thanks for all your hard work
regards
Hans

Hi Mike/Joao Hope you are well Another couple of quick questions:- I'm using eePeSKY R421 Nov 21 2016, and when looking at the safety switch inputs I have noticed a new pop up box in the right hand column When I select sticky X in the second box there is a pop up giving Thr or P1,2,3 options - how d...

HI Joao Thanks for the super quick response and great explanation - I should have read the manual a little more carefully! It makes sense now and I will give it some thought and practise I'm still having a great time with the 9Xtreme and I'm glad to see you are still always present on the forum Than...
