Is there any 128x64 touch screen that could be used instead of a normal screen?

João

EDIT: Told you it was crazy

Not so crazy, I rather like the idea, as long as it's not colour.
I am sure we could find one we could make work.

Mike.

Yes, Mike I will try it.

Thanks,
Colin.

Mike.

Soft labels sound like a good idea.
Great work Mike.

r187 released: Channel order moved to radio setup Handle menu switching better PXX support 16 channels output Fix HELI bug I've also done some work on porting ersky9x to the Taranis.

My confusion is that the openxvario and real Arduino shows the RXI connection. On my board it's RXD and seems to go to the same pin? Per the wiki, . ShowMaster, I think that is RX1, not RXI, on a board with multiple UARTS there would be RX1, RX2 etc. With one UART it is shown as RXD (Receive Data)....

Bob...

Yes, you should make the wiring as Mike as suggested.
It might be easier to change the white and black wires at the four pin end, but either end would do.

Many thanks, boards just arrived, now I'll need to get soldering.

Mike.

No problem Mike, happy to help.

I went to the location (http://openrcforums.com/wiki/index.php/Dealing_with_a_Fuse_Brick ) and nothing is there? It seems to be no understandable information of step by step instructions to Unbricking our Stock 9x Radio Main Boards. I am still hoping to find a way to restore this Stock 9x Radio Mai...

Sorry Rick, I should have been more specific. ( I'am an "old fart" too, so I have an excuse.)

Colin.

I apologize for my silly questions, but I need to confirm my conclusion that I cannot use your code. I have two radios, one with a Gruvin9x board and the other a sky9x board. The Gruvin9x uses an Atmega 2560 and the sky9x uses the ARM Cortex 32 bit M3. Neither of these seem to be supported. If that...

Thank you Mike.

Colin.

Thank you Mike.

question: Is it normal for the radio to beep at the splash screen when started? Now, when I start the radio, it beeps a few times through the internal speaker (via pispkr / speaker mod). I don't recall it doing that before. Is that a new feature? can it be disabled? I get one beep at the splash scr...

this keeps getting weirder... I managed to compile by downloading a newer version of avr-gcc for windows (ver. 4.8). The build succeeded, except for avr-size, which bombs out at the end of the build (though apparently its not required for a successful build). Anyway, I flashed the hex file that I b...

Sorry Mike, I should have mentioned the pots do calibrate and work correctly.

Thanks.

Colin.

OK, thanks, it does not look like the "A" chip is the difference then, will have to keep looking.

I will be fitting a 2561 to another TX, maybe to-night, I will see how that goes.

Colin.

I haven't done the fix yet.. but confirming that my newly moded M128 Stock 9x board does in fact reboot after the update when making adjustments on the Trim. I will disable the trims in the Mixer as I fly MultiRotor but I know that doesn't change anything, i still need to make the fix... just conte...

Here goes: er9x-test2.zip I've included standard, FrSky and '128 versions. eepe has some problems with templates and creating new models with the correct channel order. It also always creates models in 'before' state, I still need to look into all that, probably need a configuration option to set '...

I had a small board with an inverting level shifter on it that I was using for another project laying on the bench. I installed that just to get it going, appears to be OK.

Colin.

Mike, Have tried '64 version, have not tried telemetry yet as the TX I am using is modified for TTL telemetry. Will fit RS232 to TTL later today. Used an X8R and all seemed to be fine. Does the RX number default to the model number? It shows as 0 in RX number field for a new model, until changed. I ...

Thanks Mike.

Mike, are the Lipo sensor and FAS-40 you are using SPORT sensors, or the old style through a hub to the SPORT on an X8R?

Also which telemetry mod did you use on that TX?

Colin.

Excellent news Mike.

I have not been able to do anything the last few days, as I have been in Hospital having a Hernia repaired.

I am back home now and should be able to get back into it tomorrow.

I have a '64 modified TX I can test with.

Thanks again for your great work.

Colin.

Thanks Mike. I don't have a '128 running at the moment, so I can't try it, but look forward to a '64 or Sky ver. I have had some success making changes to opentx, but it is taking a while to become familiar with the code, in particular adding entries to the menus, I think I have it sorted now, but I...

If you use the XJT in D8 mode with telemetry receivers other than the X8R, telemetry data will be available on the RS232 port (4 pin) on the XJT module. So using a mod as ShowMaster suggests will work. Note that in D16 mode there is no telemetry on the RS232 port, it is only on the SPORT. I can conf...

OK, not surprisingly both Mike and Kilrah's suggestions for binding worked. And the opentx PXX on the Sky9x worked as expected The strange thing is after reflashing the firmware this morning (I had gone back to normal FW to fly yesterday) the module no longer turns off after 3 secs. and can be bound...

Kilrah wrote:Also, you can put the receiver in bind mode, THEN put the TX module in bind mode, and it will bind instantly. So no problem with the 3 secs.

Another great idea I did not think of, how stupid can one person be.

Thanks Kilrah.

Colin.

MikeB wrote:Try turning the Tx on with the throttle not idle, but with the module in bind mode. While the Tx is waiting for the throttle to be idle, it doesn't send any pulses to the module.

Mike.

Great idea, so simple, why didn't I think of that.
Thanks Mike.

Colin.
