Understand, thanks for the answer, what SWR means ? It could be insteresting to change the scale in the 9XR Pro firmware to confirm this new value . Thierry Swr is usually the Standing Wave Ratio. It's a measure of how efficently the antenna system is matched to the electronics and a value of 1:1 i...

Is there a way to set the controller mode per model? For sail boats mode 4 is what everyone seems to be using (1st stick vertical/throttle for sail trim, 2nd stick horizontal for rudder) but for planes I've become used to mode 2. Its not a huge deal as using the aileron as rudder is fine, it would j...

My error, I had a combination of remembering incorrectly and looking at a pinout that is obviously incorrect.

looks like I was taking a bit of a risk and powered from the 11.5v or so of the li-fe battery pack. I should have just put a 5v regulator in the cable.

On an unmodified 9xr pro the 4th pin from the bottom is regulated 6v power right?

I made my programming cable to use (counting from bottom) pin 1, s.port, pin 2 GND, pin 3 NC, pin 4, +6v power

hopefully that wasn't too risky.

Is there any chance something like this will allow us to do things like assign sport servo channel numbers, or battery number settings on battery sensors? Are those things possible just daisy chaining them from the back of the XJT or do they need to be the only things on the bus? I'm a long way from...

I've noted that the trim buttons can "click" before they activate. You might need to push a little further. Check as above if they work properly

It's working great. updating without any glitches now

And binding works fine when both TX and RX are updated to latest firmware

The X8R seems to be having a similar problem in being flashed While flashing I get solid green intermittent red, when the flash fails it goes to quick flashing red only I really should order a buspirate like I've planned so I can see what's going on. Took a few tries but binding works with the lates...

On first attempt, loading has stopped with one row of pixels remaining. Will retry Worked on second attempt, will try binding, and will reflash receiver if binding doesn't work Editing to say flashing the xjt seemed to work on second go, now making a cable (gnd and signal only powering off a receive...

Unplugging, starting the process, plugging the xjt module in while it said finding sport device seems to have worked Addendum: Or not... It went to the "Update sport. Flashing" but the progress bar does not move,, trying again, once it went to about 10%, turning the power off after enterin...

Getting a not allowed for viewing that link I should be able to start the 9xrpro in firmware upgrade mode with the xjt unplugged, plug it in and hit update? And for the receiver I need to connect to the lowest 3 pins in the back of the 9xr, (I have to lookup the order, but a three pin connector shou...

Does the frsky S.Port system support both Course over Ground and Heading? or just CoG?

I saw that an option to Update SPort was added and wondered if I can just connect my XJT and X8R via sport and update each by connecting the x8r to the xjt with an S.Port cable while the xjt is installed on the 9xrpro. does anyone know if this would work? It certainly would be easier than connecting...

Just adding that you can get a cable for the com3 socket at sparkfun, part number PRT-09916. Seems to fit fine and my HC-06 is working to forward the telemetry stream.

anyways, for the 9xr pro, com3 connector, I used the PRT-09916 from sparkfun, removed the header from the HC06 carrier board and soldered the wires to it to make an unplugable BT module. after setting the com1 to invert the S.Port data from my frsky receiver is coming over bt perfectly. Now i just n...

Does anyone know the correct mating part for the com3 port? I'm adding a BT module, and wanted something that can unplug, rather than soldering directly to th board.

My end goal is to have the ability to charge over something like QI, and have the ability to turn all but a very low power supervisor off with some non contact method. I've mentioned elsewhere on the forum that I'm getting started in rc sailing, and as such being able to keep electronics encapsulate...

I know the OpenXSensor project is based around the arduino platform, but can someone familiar with the hardware requirements respond with if the ATmega32HVB http://www.atmel.com/devices/ATMEGA32HVB.aspx , or any of the other battery managment MCUs are compatible with generating the signals for S.Por...

All this conversation shows why we need force feedback! Why don't we have force feedback yet mike? You're a programmer, you must have some way to just make it happen. :lol: In all honesty, gimbals with magnetic sensing, and those little flat piezo motors for force feedback would be amazing. (either ...

The trim copy function is what got me thinking about the usefullness of a 6 more buttons (1 per axis, 1 per joystick)for copying into trim, then I thought, why not see if a whole load of switches could be supported easily in hardware. With a 8 channel GPIO chip, two 6 position switches would be simp...

If you could please add a post on this thread if/when you add +100 as the idle position But the test version has this doesn't it? This means it will be in the next formal commit as well. ..... Mike. If I got the latest version, it didnt...... wait a sec.. um, just realized I forgot to flash... Derp...

Yes, on a per model basis. I've just posted a test version, with this feature in, on this post: http://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4676#p65894 . For the 9XR-PRO, extract ersky9xr_rom.bin. Mike. Found it, and its working exactly as it should on my 9xr Pro. If you could please add ...

Give me a little time. I have already added an option for the throttle idle position to be at the centre, I should be able to add +100% as a third option, on a per model basis. Mike. 0% would work for me, not perfectly like +100% but it would massively reduce the magnitude of the yank. Is this avai...

Don't use the limits menu settings min and max but go to the end of the row find the three dotted lines and when over them press menu that will invert all channel operations for the individual model. That's what I was doing, but it doesn't fix the throttle check on startup. I like that quite a bit,...

I saw that a switch can be assigned to move the current channel levels into the trim location to allow for easy trimming. Adding a mini button next to each trim switch to move just that axis into memory would be nice, but I dont think there is a simple way to wire it up. I know there is an i2c bus, ...

Go to the radio settings and find the option "Throttle Reverse" and turn it ON João Thanks, I was hoping it could be done on a per model basis so that I could switch it back to rc plane operation just by selecting a different model. I don't fully understand the safety switch programming, ...

I'm currently using my 9xrpro and ersky9xr to control a model sailboat. The phys setup has the high values for the sail trim servo control pulling the sails in tight, but to emulate manual control of a boat (pulling the ropes brings the sails in) I've reversed the throttle on the limits menu. This h...

Totally separate question. I just received my 9xr pro, and got a xjt & x8r kit. How does the SPort data get processed by the 9rx? Is it forwarded over the serial cable to the trainer port? or is the lowest pin in the module bay and I can remove the hanging cable when operating with an SPort rece...

I assume the ARM processor goes into a bitbanging USB mass storage device mode when the bootloader loads up. I know some of the usb libraries out there allow for multiple devices, one being a generic HID. Has there been any research into directly using the 9XRpro as a usb joystick rather than using ...
