Awesome, I will try it out once I get home, that was quick! Thanks Pat!

...What happens if you put a servo in channel 7, is it a copy of channel 1?. If so you have a quick, short term solution, throttle on channel 7 output. Mike. For the time being (since the jitter issue startes) I have the throttle mapped on channel 6 (love er9x for that function alone) and keep my 5...

I order replacement lcds from rchobbies. I have a few, just in case. *knocks on wood*

All these I test every time there is a new er9x firmware... plus a ar6200 not in the picture. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/cr8tive_leo/rxs1.jpg This is one of the three ar9000's that doesn't like to play with the others.. dumb ar9000... :twisted: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/cr8t...

The thing that gets me with the ar9000 , it's a 'bleed' between the 4th channel and the 1st channel. I can throw throttle on channel 6 and it will work (mind you I loose channel 1.... or I can just stick an led on it and it will flash and look cool, and look like it was meant to do that... ). *shrug...

Click on User CP, the select Board preferences, on the side select editing posting defaults... .. and voila.. notify me ... turn it off.

Works like a charm

Well, everything works still, with all the 'modes' for dsm2. (is the dx4e a hp module?) All the rx's still function, all but the ar9000's ... and they work with a cheapo 4ch spectrum radio. Still need to install the other tx module, to see if that makes a difference. I made videos of the funky dance...

Haven't tried the ar9000 yet... I'm having seizures when led back light turns off... it flickers like the dickens. it's actually cool.. but scary at the same time.
Will let you know how it fairs with the ar9000 in the new year.

Cheers, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

That is the version I am running on the Transmitter. (even tried other varients from earlier to see if there was any joy, but.. nada)

All your patience and work is greatly appreciated.

Here's da spiel. *for anyone interested* The dsm protocol works nicely with all flavours of dsm2 rx's, except for my ar9000's. When I do TAER setup (for spektrums sake) when I do right rudder (channel 4) it does all sorts of nice spill over to the throttle (channel 1). So I thought, okay, lets just ...

such a beautiful board! Looking good!!

Noticed a problem with my AR6100 setup. With the sticks "in the corners" so that all the pulses go long it starts to stutter and move in steps. Doesn't do it with my earlier fix. That's what happens with my ar9000, only with rudder to the right though (and flickers, or jumps...) I haven't...

Leo - try doing a fresh bind with the AR9000. Since it is 2048 mode, binding to it could put the module in a different operating mode than the normal DSM2. If it then works you might then find that the MCPx does not work, since it expects 1024 data. If it does behave like this it would simply be a ...

Standard 9x would be great. (I've two dsm2 and two standard turnigy radios)

Again, excellent work. I fly in the winter, and right now, it's minus 16c , nice. (-35c just a hours North of me)
