Probably something I've missed in the menu! I flashed R38, all is well, except on switch off it says "SHUTTING DOWN" forever. Is it something to do with the Default Sw TRE012AG setting I wonder? Thanks chaps, you're on to a winner here I'm sure! :D P.S. Being thick, what is the purpose of ...

I'm guessing here, but I would think all the 2.4g transmitter chips are 3.3v like the spektrum ones?
If so, 3.3v "headroom" for the module's regulator should be more than enough.

Microscope..Gotcha, I was thinking that might be the case.
Thanks for the advice.
Keep up the good work!

Easy :):)

Ok, damn you I want one. How much are they to buy I wonder?
Any pointers to an "economically priced" one?

A couple of things spring to mind (well lurch into mind actually!) By fitting a module from a DX4E into a 9x (or in a plug in module case) you will get model match, 6 channels and DX7 latency. Oh, and DSMx as well as a bonus! Oh, and you can bind and range check without fiddling with the DM9 button....

Beware! The latest JRPA615 blank module cases have a big rectangular hole in the back..
Somewhat defeats the object 3 Year warranty though!

Looks great Leo!
Now where can I can I get the fancy LCD to go with it?
Neither Digikey or Mouser has them (15 weeks delivery!)
It would be nice to do the whole upgrade at the same time,
but I guess the LCD will have to wait for now

It takes a lot to get me excited these days.
This project does it for me

Hobbyking's finest(!) "Clouds Fly Floater Jet AXN" works perfectly with PXX also!
Nice little aeroplane too!

Mike.

I have an idea for Erazz Mike and Pat.

How do you fancy a short break in Jiangsu?

I reckon you could sort it in a couple of hours between you

As far as I can see, there is no difference at all in performance switching between PXX and PPM with my servos at least. As Mike said it's a pity they didn't make the non telemetry option with this firmware, but I guess it shouldn't be too hard for them to implement it? Apart from that, PXX seems pe...

erazz wrote:Yeah, I've written them again to hear what they are working on.

I want to get the 16 channels, the FS and the Model match to work!

Good to see you're on the case, I guess without those features PXX has no advantage

yet perhaps. Or have I missed something? (Most likely!)

Keep up the good work!

Not sure whether this helps or not, but I've been trying all the versions of standard frsky roms. I found the only pair that give failsafe from the transmitter are these ones:- Module- V2_host_romb_build-100826.frk and the receiver- V2.fdd_rx_build_100826.frk There is a downside however.. If you pre...

I was thinking in terms of the fact that I have added various features to er9x, which have, not surprisingly appeared in open9x, but I'm personally not receiving any acknowledgement. I need to add me to some of er9x files, I'm in on ersky9x files. It would just be nice since I added things like PPM...

Also Pat (pmackenzie) deserves a mention also for his brilliant work on DSM2

Thanks Mike, it works!

Apologies if this has been covered before, but which frsky upgrade files do I need for the DJT and D8R-II please?
I find their website a bit confusing on this
Thanks,
Clive

I also reccommend a good PS. Decent ones can be found for under $150 today. Makes your life much easier. Is that the Fisher-Price one with just an on and off button? ;) Only joking of course, I've done it myself, more than once! :oops: Brilliant work on PXX :) Looking forward to the release very mu...

Cooking on gas now. Well done both of you!

Those are knobs, not sticks Rob
I wonder if anyone tried fitting Aurora 9 gimbals in a TGY9X yet?
Expensive I know, but would be the icing on the cake I reckon!

Clive

Excellent Brent, well done. Can't wait!

A touch off topic..
1:-Does anyone use an AR8000x Spektrum receiver?
2:-Have you tried it with six analogue servos?
3:-Did it work?

Thanks,

Clive

I think it would be brilliant to have an option in the firmware to enable the ppm output to be selected on a model by model basis. So.. DSM. Select PPM2 Frsky. Select PPM1 etc probably best that it is an option to allow PPM1 or PPM2 or BOTH Rob Not sure I understand that Rob, can't we do that now? ...

I've just received my latest FlySky Tx from Giantcod. It has what we call a V1 main board in it, i.e. the pad for programming is on the wrong connection. I'm beginning to wonder if this is a deliberate policy by the original manufacturer, to make it more difficult to re-flash to other firmware :sho...

These sound good with a fet to drive them http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... OC:GB:1123

Do you mean an extra pin? I haven't seen that module. Could you measure the voltage on that pin,
in both tx's. Might be needing to be pulled up or down perhaps??
Shot in the dark really..

3 amps! Should be enough :o Only other thing I can think of is the input to the module. I used Pat's circuit, post 13821 (on the other board) except I used 10k pullup and schottky diode. Didn't fancy the led idea. This works fine with the little lp4 and the dx4e dsmx modules with my ar8000x, only si...

The ar 9000's work for all the 6 channels, it's just channel 1 get's thrashed by 4.

Silly question I know, but do you have a solid 3.3v to the module? How are you driving it?

Clive

Leo, I guess like me you have six channels like I have with my AR8000x on your AR9000?
Or are your 9000's still playing silly b*****s
Not a fault in the software, but a limitation in the DX4e module in my case I think.
Clive

Very many thanks Pat, Mike and Erazz!
As far as I can see all is working perfectly.
Quite an achievement I say
Well done!

Clive
