Use the standard heli template and amend as follows: (Throt) CH1 = THR + All the ID mode mixes and the R-100 throttle cut. You can then use throttle failsafe on your Redcon 7 RX. (Ail) CH2 = CYC1 (Ele) CH3 = CYC2 (Rud) CH4 = RUD (Gear) CH5 = GEAR (Aux1) CH6 = CYC3 Those are is the basic connections....

Oh the 600 will be soooo easy to fly compared to tje 450. It will hover hands off long enough to have a cup of coffee in comparison! Haha! If you do damage it and run out of head repair parts, or decide to go FBL, get a DFC conversion by Align (not at all costly really probably $75?) and a mini-kbar...

Excellent. All servos are moving. That is 80% of the battle! Righty, I am not about for a couple of hours or so - but will get onto my 9X when I get back to the laptop. You are surprisingly close - but you said you needed Throt on RX slot 1 (Throt) to utilise failsafe. So some more moving about will...

Hahaha! Noooo I am old school - I like to figure things out in my head where possible and then if anything goes wrong, I KNOW it is only my fault! heheh! I only use computer based programming as I said, where there is no option. Helicopter flybarless controllers are one, and some multirotor controll...

Shouldn't be a problem. Just a bit of lateral thinking, particularly if the user has only ever used mainstream radios where ones hand is held all the way for setups. Lol! Similar problems happen to plenty of people trying to setup the OrangeRX flight stabilisers and their like. They cannot wrap thei...

Yep. That will be the first, critical step. Make it a 6 channel setup 4 channels to correspond to sticks, two assigned to a switch each. Once done, report back on what stick/switch moves what servo channel.Directions etc. Do not matter. All we are trying to discover is what are the outputs in relati...

Just think - if you were using and FrSky receiver, all you would have are channel numbers to go by ... I did try this but some servos just didn't move the way they should have. Also, being a Spektrum Rx I'd like to find a way to get the throttle on ch1 so the built in fail safe would reduce the thr...

Has this been sorted yet? I have never had a problem setting up flybarred helis with the Sky9X templates with Spektrash receivers. One just needs to FORGET all the channel labels on them. Plug servos in and try different slots to see what happens. Oce you get it right, make a note of it and there ya...

If you set the 6-pos to "--", then go to the 6-pos calibration, does the 4-digit number on the top line change when you move the 6-pos switch? If so, if you set the calibration values, does the indicator (6P0-6P5) change correctly? Mike. Mike, I got it! It is done differently to on the Sk...

Am out at the mo. Will be a couple of hours or so.

Morning Mike. There must be a difference with the production hardware as I have to assign a pot to the 6-pos in Hardware or it does not work. When assigned, to either P1 or P2, that knocks out S1 or S2 pots (poor naming of those - should have been P1 & P2 but FrSky did not listen) If I do not as...

If you mean THIS ONE I have one on the way. There is another newer module - the iRangeX one I mentioned here somewhere, but as you remarked it has problems so I am wiating before going for one. I do have a 4-in-1 pcb module I soldered into my little Deviated Ultimate Devo 7E (512k MCU) - I use it to...

Is the 6-pos hard coded in A7 or for a future Ax? As it is with A7, if I do not assign a pot no. to it, it does not work at all. And will there be the 7th telltale column indicator for it later? You mention DSM - what is that for? The old Spektrum DM9 module or suchlike? Or for the 'hacks' that were...

It is. Slap bang in the middle of the face plate. And it is rubbish. The original on the pre-production that was missing a resistor was silky smooth in comparison. The new one has a loose spindle, can be pulled up and down and it makes it all feel like the knob is loose. I thing I will pull it out, ...

Mike, Now that the 6-Pos settings are being saved - I have used P2 as it's number in the Hardware menu, it knocks that actual S2 Pot (right hand one) out of action. Setting the 6-Pos to P1, kills of S1 Pot (left hand one) which makes sense? Will there need to be a P3 setting 'hard coded' for the 6-P...

Bingo! Righty. On powering down, IF the button is released sooner than TWO seconds of seeing the 'Shutting Down' text, the settings are not held. Two plus seconds held and everything holds remains after reboot. Once again ... pure genius! Can you make the 'shutdown' audio message a selectable one? M...

I still have a brand new T9X in a box up in the loft that I had completely forgotten about! It has been up there for what must be four years - maybe five! I have WAY too much RC stuff! I also found a a complete micro Slick 360 foamie kit too whilst looking for a box of fifty 450 heli feathering shaf...

:mrgreen: thanks to Mike! For the first time since getting it, it now actually has my attention. ErSky9X has that 'something' about it. The FrSkyOS on it, whilst comprehensive, was so far from conducive to ease of use it was beyond a joke. Yes, I was not having problems using it, it was just so long...

Tried changing PPM polarity. No difference. Contrast does save. I whizzed it up to 45 and rebooted half a dozen times. Held at 45. Throttle reverse does hold if set on a per-model basis, but not if set in Hardware. 6-pos knob set in the Hardware menu does not. Switch F that I mentioned before had be...

A7 flashed fine. Servos still leading a merry dance. Changing PPM settings make no difference. If this helps Mike, fast, full stick strokes see no jittering. Moving the sticks slowly there are serious jitters, primarily around centre to 1/4 stick, and when stopping stick movement. I am.going to try ...

You need to change your sig Mike ...

"Miracles we do immediately, Horus takes a little longer!"

Haha!

Will flash A7 soon as possible.

A6 flashed fine. Bootup is much faster. Nice. PPM is operating, but with the OrangeRX module and 6 channel RX bind fine. However, there is some very serious servo jittering going on at random places throughout travel range, but the servos do follow stick movements generally. I have tried different P...

Will upload in a min. Now that the house is quiet and the day of bedlam is over and the kids are asleep, I notice the speakers are emitting a continuous hiss. Makes no difference if volume is max or min. Also, throttle reverse and the 6-pos knob settings (all 6 rows are back to zeros) are not holdin...

A5 flashed fine. Blue screen still there, and long press needed to boot. Pots still reversed (not sure if you had fixed either of those Mike, so may be irrelevant currently) Bear in mind, an inadvertent power on with Horus is nigh on an impossibility, due to the power button hinged safety cover/stra...

Yeah ... Sorcery! lol!

What gets me João, is he is not even working on the same hardware I have - and there are some very marked differences. I dunno how the hell he does it ...

Hang on! I can't keep up! Lol!!!

Yes. Volume is set on S1 - by default. I have not changed that from how the firmware assigns it. Not put voice onto the SD card as of yet, but will do this evening. Have just tried an original OrangeRX (not the newer version) module and a DJT in the rear slot and am getting nothing. No LED's, no bee...

Mike, I have flashed A4 and so far am seeing the following: On boot, volume is at full - and on Horus that is LOUD! LOL!!!. The pots are running in reverse - S1 when fully anti-clockwise is full volume. Turning clockwise reduces volume. Volume indicator bar follows same direction. Nice touch! Beeps ...

Mike, Type=1 Gimbals working fine but throttle and aileron are reversed. Calibration works. All switches work. Trims 1 thru 4 work. T5 & T6 are inoperative. 4 bars show for the pots. S1 is bar 2, S2 is bar 1, the 6pos knob is bar 3. Bar 4 does not move at all. The shoulder sliders and faceplate ...
