Re: Differential in elevator set-up

When you say "it won't work" what do you mean? Can you get your servos to move at all?

Re: Data Logging question

opentx-x9d ver 2.2.3 on an early Taranis X9D. I think I have it figured out. I tested logging again by turning off logging for 10, 20, 30sec, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. The first four (up to 1 minute off) went all on the same session with nulls between. The rest were logged as se...

Re: Data Logging question

Putting SD logging on a switch allows me to start logging at the beginning of a flight. Once turned on, turning off SD logging does give a string of zero values (which is useful in finding the end of flights) but it does not result in a new session when logging is turned back on. It still seems like...

Data Logging question

I would like to limit the size of the SD logging file and have it broken into just the actual flights. When SD Logging is on, a new "flight" is recorded from the moment logging is turned on until the TX is turned off. Is there a way to record a new "flight" without turning the tu...

Re: 3D Printing with PETG Filament (CR10 3D Printing)

I've found that I had to slow the print speed to about 1/2 what I use for PLA. Your temps also seem a little high to me. PETG normally has excellent layer to layer bonding even at lower temps. Dropping the print speed solved a lot of problems for me.

Re: Taranis X9D Plus Binding to S6R receiver Problem

Make sure you have the lastest firmware on both the receiver and the tx module (get them from Frsky). My S6R would only bind on certain numbers so try several.

Re: 3D Printed RC Truck Wheel Rims (CR10 3D Printer)

PETG might be a good filament to try. It has very good layer to layer bonding and it less brittle than PLA. That and increase the hub diameter a bit.

Replace my early X9D with an X9D+ or Horus X10?

I'm replacing my reliable but beat up early X9D. I'm trying to decide whether to get a new X9D+ or a new X10. I'd like to hear from those who made the jump to the X10. How do you feel about it today? Was it worth the extra money?

Thanks!

Re: Control 2 servos via 1 channel for continuous rotation?

Looking at the servo he wants to use, the servo can be programmed in terms of direction so one channel and a Y connector seems to be all that's required.

You can map the throttle to two channels in opposite directions.

Re: X9D+ No Longer Logging Telemetry

You RTC should not reset if the battery is good and making good contact in the holder. Even with a dead RTC battery mine never had other issues and judging by the last good log file it had been dead for a couple months.

Re: FrSky Taranis Special Edition Low RSSI (Crash)

Did you have logging turned on by chance? That might give some idea of what's going on.

My early Taranis has been flawless for almost 5 years.

Re: SP-FLVS causing radio interference?

I appearantly flew for six weeks trouble free with a dead RTC battery.

I'll have to come up with a more controlled scenario for testing and documenting any effect of using the sensor.

I had a similar problem. I was using GV's to set optimal mixes for early shake down flights (while flying.) I really only wanted the final readings. I made it announce every time the GV changed and then again 5 seconds later.
