Re: Sv: "resolved -impossible to identify radio on your syst

As you already know there are actually two USB interfaces used. When the radio is turned off, you can connect using a driver and a program called from Companion (called Dfu-util). This makes it possible to load new software to the transmitter. This USB interface requires a driver that is in no way s...

Re: OpenTX - Nightly builds for pre-2.0 testing

It is for all radios. This far the only difference is that airbrakes and flaps end up on different switches (naturally)

Re: OpenTX - Nightly builds for pre-2.0 testing

I just recreated what I think you have seen. The flaps are controlled by the SA switch. Two entries for each channel. One for SA up and one for SA down. One should result in +100 and the other - 100 . With SA in the middle position the channel will get the value 0. The idea being to be able to use t...

No.

No one is going to spend several weeks on adapting the firmware to an even smaller display than the 9x has originally. It is neither interesting nor fun.

Re: OpenTX - Nightly builds for FrSky Taranis

I guess that you were simulating Taranis. Since Taranis comes with only one background color (blue), the setting has no effect. The setting...

Re: Sv: OpenTX - Nightly builds for FrSky Taranis

Yes, the bootloader is a separate part of the firmware. Once a firmware version with a bootloader has been installed, the bootloader can be used to flash new firmware files stored on the radio SD card. This means that the user only has to be able to copy files to the radio using the built in memory ...

Re: Sv: Strange message when powering up

It is a good idea to have a contact available for easier flashing and to connect to the PC, but it is not necessary. Some people left the contact inside the radio and opened it up each time they wanted to flash new firmware. Another option is to have a small contact in the battery compartment. There...

Re: Sv: Strange message when powering up

That narrows down the alternatives. If the solution is to load new firmware you need to get hold of a cheap USBASP adapter and solder a contact to the main board of the radio. The solder job is very easy, but if you do not want to do it yourself you might know someone who knows how to solder. Then y...

Re: Strange message when powering up

I am afraid that the advice you can get on this board about 9x radios with original firmware is very limited. The reason is that the board is focused around the open source firmwares that replace the original firmware. Most of us have simply never used the FlySky firmware except to check that radios...

Yes, I tried disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes. Makes no difference.
