Tried that file Mike, it doesn't seem to make any difference. I hope it's not me being stupid! I did once get the actual switch shown, throttle as I recall, but still got the same problem. Not too worried about the model data, would just like to get the Tx to work again. Thanks for your efforts, muc...

Hi Mike, USB display No (though computer bleeps) after reset that is. After loading firmware, it switches on OK, get splash screen and the the switch error. Nothing I do with the switches or buttons changes anything at all, but it is rebooting. Sorry if I mislead you. If I turn the power switch off,...

Thanks Leo, but I've "been there, done that" several times.
It seems to me the eeprom needs formatting, but I don't know how
to do it..Probably something basic I've missed.
P.S.
Apologies, it is rebooting, and goes "boop" when I try to
switch it off.

Clive

It doesn't reboot Leo. just sits there with switch error, the controls doing nothing.
Backlight eventally turns off with a bleep, more of a boop actually, then I can't turn
the Tx off. Have to remove battery, fit reset link to try again!
What script do you have to run in samba?

No, I can't read the EEPROM from the Tx.
"invalid binary file"
How do I write a blank one? apologies for being thick!

Going to get a beer, maybe that will help. Tried all ways.
I get "Cannot convert EEProm fir this firmware original EEProm file will be used" in C9x

Having tried open9x under C9x, I have a problem loading latest ersky9x (tried with an older version as well) Symptoms are Tx switches on, get switch error screen. No buttons work, and Tx won't switch off. I guess the eeprom wants re-formatting, but I can't see how to do that. Any help appreciated, t...

Hi Guys, I think they use a linear oscillating motor, supposed to be quieter. See here for operation. http://www.google.com/patents?id=IRUGAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA5&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=4#v=onepage&q&f=false Les I think you nailed it Les! I opened one today! Anyone in need of a i...

I just used one of these http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/products/403-850/

Yes, I bought 5 of them (they were 99p each last week!)
Tested them with 3volts dc and none of them run, draw about 100ma each.
Tried one on 5volts, still no joy with either polarity.

Why don't these motors work then?

Do they need a/c drive perhaps?

Mike:- Paranoid? No. Careful yes!
Everything you say makes perfect sense.
Now where's my Flight Link analogue system?
Slowly slowly catchee monkey
Not wishing to criticize anyone's work on this project in any way.

Clive

Of course!
My first encounter with a constant current smps.
Thanks Reinhard
The improvement is well worth it anyway

Clive

Just fitted one of these :- http://dx.com/t10-21-led-white-light-car-angel-eye-70mm-diameter-25511 to the lens with hot glue. Great improvement! Strange switch mode psu in mine for the light. It says on it 3v-12v. With original single led, it produces 3v. With the light ring, 12v. Can it really be t...

Now what was that proverb?
Was it "Build a bettter mousetrap and the world will beat a pathway to your door"?
Something like that anyway

Well done Brent

A big step forward!

Well done Mike! Looks like we have a "killer" transmitter in the making

Now don't go giving me ideas! I need to get the SD card working. And someone will want "Space Invaders" next, except the 'invaders' will be other makes of transmitters you shoot up :mrgreen: My backlight comes on as soon as I switch on, not sure why yours doesn't then. What settings do yo...

I just got one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140615234049?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Quite impressed so far Mine came with WF10X eyepieces, perhaps WF5X might give a better FOV? Certainly a lot better than my 2.7X binocular magnifier anyway! Though the supplied lig...

What is wrong with a pair of non protected 18650's from Dealextreme?
They work fine for me. (In the transmitter)
Superglue them together without tapeing, perfect fit!

Clive

45 degrees, r59 software here Brent. Current 64 mA, no backlight or module.

I have some "proper" TO220 heatsinks like this.
Shame the pinout of the reg is the wrong way round
I suppose I could fit the regulators upside down Brent?

I just ordered one of these :- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320893382582?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Looks ok for £18 delivered in U.K. Will post the results when I get it. Not for windows 7 though! More toys to play with, thanks a bunch erazz :D P.S. Oops, looks as if they o...

Hope your board has the pad in the right place for the solderless board.
They seem to have changed the later transmitter boards to the old layout!

Clive

The whole beauty of the er9x and ersky9x projects from my point of view is that they are totally unlimited in what they are capable of achieving, thanks to the continued support of the great programmers here. If you want something "off the shelf" go ahead, it's your choice. As Mike said, i...

"So I guess I should scrap the ersky9x project?"

I sincerely hope not Brent

What would I do for a hobby?

Ah, I see what you mean. The haptic "volume control" isn't working.
I most likely missed a post, but how do you set the battery alarr(!)
Ah it might say alarm on the Optrex display? What does "5000"
actually represent?

R56 haptic ok here, and now fires on neutral trim correctly.

Hi Kayle,
Did you make it fit the transmitter?
Is it possible to detail the electronic mods, photo perhaps?
Many thanks,

Clive

In the old days (!) we had adjustable linkages to trim the model, proper mechanical trims on the transmitter
and holes in the control horns and servo arms as well to adjust the throws. What went wrong?
