Re: openXvario development
So... The OVX seems to be working, the altitude in debug output seems ok (I still have to programm my Sky9x board).
The only thing I notice is the climb rate changing, while the vario is just lying on the table. Is this normal ? If so, what variation is normal?

Re: Lost in flashing my ersky9x board
Yes of course, thank you. I actually checked these settings about ten times, but still thought that "opentx for 9x board" was right ... Changed it and everything works flawlessly agin.

Lost in flashing my ersky9x board
It's been a while since I flashed my ersky9x board, and now I'm lost. Sam-ba 2.11 was installed already, and seems to connect to the ersky board (which reports as a gps camera in windows7/64). Now I really can't get companion9x to read the flash... What do I put into the "configure" / &quo...

Re: openXvario development
While waiting for my MS5611 barometric sensors to arrive (my mini arduinos arrived in less than a week), I have been planning my new Lunak to use the oxv in. As I will be needing more than 8 channels, I will be needing an s.bus receiver. Is, or will the the ovx be compatible with the new "smart...

Re: OpenxVario Air Speed Sensor - Add on
I'm not really sure, on those bigger model planes some people have smoke-gizmos at the wingtip. So it should be possible to have a small battery there.Kilrah wrote:You still need a wire to power it, so why not run the data through it?
But maybe you're right, a thin wire would probably work too

Re: OpenxVario Air Speed Sensor - Add on
I have the same problem as Rob: my Lunak has pre-built wings. I've been meaning to put a removable motor into the nose, so the pitot tube should be mounted outside of the influence of the prop airstream. There are a lot of really small wireless modules for the arduino, like the NRF24l01 or RFM12B. M...

But since I connected the speaker, it does.

Speaker not silent
Hi everyone,
I have the ersky9x board, and the latest open9x installed. After startup doing nothing, I hear noise coming from the included speaker.
Not very loud, but it is there. And I hear data being sent to the board (USB) using C9X. I did not cut the red lead yet.
Is this normal ?
TIA
Peter

Re: Play active model name on startup, or confirm?
OK, I will try the mOn - easy.
But to my second thought: would it be possible to have a screen on startup, asking for me to choose the active model every time on startup ?
Or would this be a bad idea in case of a reboot during flight ?

Re: Invalid binary EEPROM file <PATH>/temp.bin
You are absolutely right: it was a clean install of open9x. The only thing I did was rename model 1 because
I thought that companion9x could not read my empty eeprom.
Thanks for your help - I will go and look for the latest trunk version.

But of course for "real" flying you are right.

Frsky hub and generic GPS ?
Hi everyone,
sometimes you cannot see the wood for the trees. Now I have the frsky hub, and the th9x with open9x.
Can I connect a generic type GPS to the frskyhub to have the data displayed by open9x on my transmitter?
Or do I really need no buy the frsky gps module for this?
TIA
Peter
