Model match I see as an added safety feature, isn't that good? I agree about their radios though!

That latest DM9 module case does at least put the aerial where it should be!

By fitting a module from a DX4E into a 9x (or in a plug in DM9 case, if you use this one SPK 6817 you get a far better aerial position too) and get model match, 6 channels with DX7 latency and DSMx. Also, you can bind and range check without fiddling around at the back. Lower power consumption as we...

I just fitted a 21/07/12 purchased emartee board and it seems fine with er9x r777, and fitted the rotary encoder at the same time (I found it VERY critical to position correctly) Questions: 1/ what test will show if I have a "slow" module? 2/ what will this new board give me that Mike's on...

Hmm, not too sure, Won't Pat's dsm/dsmx mod have less latency (as well as model match)? I agree Orange is a cheap solution if you don't want to use a soldering iron. It may be my imagination, but my dx4e module in the 9x SEEMS to be more responsive than my dm9 with the same transmitter/model, partic...

Aha,

A nice new toy for Christmas perhaps

Good work Brent!

Hey, where did you get a DSMX module from? Just checked my DM9 DSM2 module, there is no problem there. The pin in question isn't connected to anything. I seem to remember this pin was used for 9 volts supply on JR transmitters when using a 35mhz module for the pa stage :?: Of course, if you made you...

I would also check the data line connectiions to the main board. I can't see how anyone could break the pcb and pins, with reasonable force. There are 16 of them in total! The main bord pcb has plated through holes. and the adaptor board is soldered on the "correct" side of the pcb. The pi...

If I understand correctly, you intend to connect the 2.4ghz antenna through spring loaded pins?? If that is what you intend to do I would suggest you didn't :o Sorry, just re-read your post, me being stupid! :oops: As I remember most of that black bit is just groundplane, with a few tracks running v...

Just a quick "thankyou"
All looks good Mike!
I'm sure you will get the cpu temp sorted (in the fullness of time)
Otherwise all is working fine

I've had a couple of comments asking is it CE approved, I just show the CE sticker on the FrSky Tx module! What really matters is does it keep control anyway. Last Sunday the was a shout from the pilots box "NO CONTROL". The electric glider concerned ended up in the car park. I believe th...

Ah, so it does thanks!

Mike, on the "up" screen, what does "BATTERY" signify please?
I have 0045 on one tx, 0040 on the other.

Thanks!

Thought it might be that Mike
We would be lost without you

Re: ERSKY9X Coding Postby MikeB » Sun Oct 07, 2012 4:09 pm Clive: Is your RTC still locking up after a while? If it does can you test to see if you can change the volume of the audio? It is also on the I2C bus, and this test will tell me if the bus is locked. Mike, I just had it happen again, and th...

Sorry Mike, it was me being stupid with the keys

Ah, slight problem, the RTC locks after a few minutes without the battery connected,
and the battery no longer runs the RTC. Might be me!
(Have rotary encoder fitted, menu long doesn't set the clock, long press on the encoder does)
Hope this helps

Yahoo .
At last I have 2 boards that read temperature correctly, 20C
on the date/time screen.
Before I had 0C on one, 46C on the other!
(They still read that on the "up" screen, I guess that wants a tweek)
Mass storage looks good too.
Good work Mike

I meant where can you buy them Rob

A link to the CE stickers anyone?
Spektrum has one of those, it doesn't mean it's safe to fly does it

Romolo, you found a way round an awkward problem (for me anyway) I'm happy with hardware, but cr*p with software. As you said, it only has to be done once, very satisfying for me. Sad or what? Thankyou :D P.S. Maybe when Mike has a minute (or more)we could get a sensible temperature reading from the...

Trying to get the ATtiny working using avrdude is a freakin nightmare.... Tell me about it! But believe me Romolo's method does work. Took me back a bit, using dos :roll: Ordered this for battery, 560mah, http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/coin-button-batteries/7450869/ should last 2 years if Mike's cal...

RTC running
Thanks for all the help! Just have to decide what to use for a battery.

Clive

Oh hell
I'll try that tomorrow!
Thanks

Clive

Romolo, thankyou for all your hard work!
Burn-o-Mat still doesn't "see" the attiny167 for some reason here.
(it doesn't show on the cpu list)
I expect it's me doing something silly..

Clive

It is. Just open notepad, and drag the file onto it. When Romolo's file is opened in notepad, I get just six long lines of unformatted text. I'm sure the info is all there, not sure how to format it, or where it goes position wise in the original config file? I have the same programmer Bertrand, ca...

Romolo wrote:Simply add its contents to avrdude.conf file using a text editor

But avrdude.conf isn't a text file as far as I can see?

Romolo, sorry not sure how to use the avrdude config file you posted
I have FF00 in co-pro test, so it needs doing I guess!
Thanks,

Clive

As burn-o-mat is a frontend to avrdude I suppose you already have it installed, furtermore you have avrdude installed in the eepe/companion9x directory as both programs install it. You only need to edit the config file. I tried to do that in windows (xp) and dos, (well xp version of it).No luck so ...

Great work Romolo and Mike!
Do you have a link for avrdude please?
I'm guessing you can't do it with burn-o-mat?
Thanks,

Clive
