Re: Adding 3-pos switches to 9XR on openTX 2.1

I tried that many times, together with many other options. That evening when it did work, the last thing I did “Now set back all the options you dont need”. With your answer and a bit of thinking (setting a cpu pin to input might happen during boot up) I managed now to do the miracle: Activating tha...

Re: Adding 3-pos switches to 9XR on openTX 2.1

I have 5.8 mega ohm between pin 47 and Ground. Checked again there is no short to neighbouring pins either. Damn. If I can't find it I think I'll got for pin 39. R50 to be removed was correct?

Re: Adding 3-pos switches to 9XR on openTX 2.1

The processor should have an internal pullup resistor on pin 43 (PG2) That means I should be able to measure ~5V there, when not connected to ground via switch? Have you set PG2 as an input in the hardware menu? yes Check your soldering. You might have shorted pin43 to ground somehow.. triple check...

Re: Adding 3-pos switches to 9XR on openTX 2.1

OK, ELE switch is on Pin 35 and works like a charm (read about U6 only afterwards). The RUD switch is on Pin 43, but I can't set it in the hardware menu? The AIL switch is there, and so are PB1 and PB2, but no RUD switch. Noooooooo ... There is also PG2 Input and PG7 Input. I activated PG2 Input but...

(solved) Adding 3-pos switches to 9XR on openTX 2.1

Dear all, while waiting for a new Taranis board I reactivated my old 9XR. I have gotten so used to the two 3-pos switches on the left hand side, I use them in nearly all my models (on the left I have throttle, so that hand is more or less free to move switches whereas I never, never take my right ha...

Re: Repairing Taranis Plus

Today is disaster day (and "Father's day" here). While aligning & soldering the CPU I managed somehow to scratch the CPU over the complete board resulting in bend pins on one complete side. I got them all back but one which broke off. OK, smd soldering was never my thing anyway. Then p...

Re: Repairing Taranis Plus

Bob, I have been admiring your soldering skills already. After cleaning yours looks so perfect. Did you apply solder to the tracks before putting the CPU on or is it better to start with as much of the old solder gone as possible?

Re: Repairing Taranis Plus

with CPU____without CPU
P01: 4.8V____6.75V
P02: 4.3V____4.72V
P03: 3.6V____2.12V
P04: 0.15V___1.88V
P05: 0.35V___0.51V
P06: 0V______0.11V
P07: 0.1V____0.66V
P08: 1.1V____1.04V
P09: 0V______0V
P10: 0.6V____3.26V

R76 has 0.6V on one end and the 3.26V from P10 on the other. I presume I'm good to go.
