Re: X12S with Ersky9X -- ok, all understood - I need to get a new SD card this morning and it's wet and unpleasant here today, so I guess I'll have time later (our time) to go through this process.
Thanks for the info - much appreciated.

Hi Mike, My X12S has arrived and I'd like to remove the FrOS from it and install Ersky9X. I found this thread: https://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10402 for installing onto a new QX7, but nothing specifically for the X12S. While I assume most things will be similar and I have prev...

Mike,
When you have time, could you 'ping' your FrSky contact for some resolution on the MLVSS bug, please? I'd like to remove the unneeded current sensor from my B17, to get some weight out. Edit: and free up some space in an already crowded battery bay
Thanks and regards,

Found some chips (locally in Oz -1 week by post), found a local clubmate who can do the work - will see how it turns out in about a week or so. Hi Mike, Well, my USB-to-Serial Port Adapter arrived and I made a cable to go from the DB9 serial to the inline RS-232 connector on the back of the XJT modu...

My 'suspect' XJT module has gone off to FrSky in China for warranty repair/replacement - hope they find something concrete and actually fix it. Separate of that, while casually looking around for a fairly new X10S at a good price, through a funny set of circumstances I managed to pick up an almost-n...

Hi Mike, Well, my USB-to-Serial Port Adapter arrived and I made a cable to go from the DB9 serial to the inline RS-232 connector on the back of the XJT module (omitted the +5V, only included Tx, Rx, GND). With the module continually beeping, I did a fresh BIND in D8 mode on a D8R-XP receiver with on...

Thanks, Bob, for the added detail -- always helpful to all to have extra info. Please see my response to Mike - I thought the readings might point him to something else as a likely suspect. I'll now wait for an adapter to test out the 'D8' alarms. regards, ozphoenix SWR is a measure of how good your...

Thanks, Mike - it is as I thought - just wanted to be sure that it did't point to other things for you. I'm hoping for the USB-to-serial adapter in the next 7 days - will see if that helps solve it. My other (losing connection intermitently) XJT module has gone back to FrSky for warranty repair - ho...

Hi Mike, Any feedback about my SWR readings? Also, I have ordered a USB-to-Serial adapter, to try the software correction, as pointed out by you in the post shown here: Re: XJT beeping by MikeB » Sun Apr 23, 2017 8:52 am Most likely this is caused by "D8" mode alarms. Try the following: Se...

Holding the radio in my hand with the antenna away from me, SWR=0. Closing my fist around the length of the antenna, SWR ranges from 15 up to about 32, depending on how much of the antenna is covered and how tightly I hold my fingers in the fist around the antenna - more and tighter gives higher SWR...

I have two XJT modules with different problems, but I only want to deal with one of those modules here. One of my modules started this beeping constantly mid-last year, so I bought another one, which solved the problem, obviously. My beeping XJT beeps whether it is in my 9XRPro or my QX7 and it beep...

That fixed it, thanks. Strangely enough, Cu5 was the only one displaying 'blank' (or anything other than the correct 'Cusx' label) but when I went to the Telemetry|Sensors screen, all of the labels had rubbish (special characters) in them - Cu5 had what appeared to be spaces -- but Cus5 was the only...

Mike, Using r222d3 - is there anything special about the field/label 'Cus5' on the QX7 for r222d3? On my 9XRPro, if I try to select it from a list (say, Telemetry or Scaler) it appears in the list where it should be and is set to the place I am trying to use it (in r222d3). On my QX7 using r222d3, t...

Thanks very much, Mike - much appreciated - will download this morning and update both radios - I'll still trying to understand why my Pro has turned rogue, but will keep using my QX7 as my main radio until I decide what to do with the Pro.

Mike, Could you produce a test version for QX7 which includes the Cls1 and Cls2 totalling for the 1st and 2nd MLVSS devices, please? I am moving all of my planes to my QX7 as my 9XRPro, even with new, longer, pins in the module bay, still is not reliable. I am not sure where to go next with it - eit...

Hi Mike,
Any advance on the test results for the double rate issue on 9XRPro with external XJT?

Any feedback from FrSky about the MLVSS issue, Mike?

I prefer the X10S to the X12S because it's newer, is lighter and has the Li-ion battery (versus NiMh of X12S). But, I prefer ErSky9x over OpenTx or FrOS. If colour and marketing 'freebies' added in to make a sale were irrelevant to you - that is, a radio to radio choice -- if you could have a new X1...

Mike, Pardon my ignorance in the following question(s), but I usually only pay attention to things related to ErSky9x on 9XRPro and QX7 (I have each). In the event that I decide to upgrade (in the unlikely even that I cannot get my 9XRPro back to being reliable) to either the Horus x10S or the Horus...

Thanks - my module bay in the 9XRPro is already lined on two sides with pieces of foam double-sided tape (but with the outer side still covered with the protective covering) to give the module a snugger fit - I made it that way as soon as I got it several years ago.

Mike,
Are you expecting that these values might change when I get the failure? To check that, I need some time at home tomorrow.

Mike - sent you PM. regards, ozphoenix

Ok, couldn't resist - just grabbed my radio and did a test.
I get 2328 2328 without Double Rate selected, I get 1194 1194 with Double Rate Selected.
Gotta run.
regards,
ozphoenix

Thanks, Mike - will download and get back to you after I've tried it, but I might not give feedback until later tomorrow (Saturday) our time, as I'm just about to leave this morning for an overnight stay away (and, no planes allowed). Thanks for persisting on this issue -- and, lots of luck in your ...

I did, I do and it was in failsafe with motor stopped, but a sidewind overcame the slight rudder I had mixed in. It glided ever so softly and straight and level - straight into a big tree 350m away, across the other side of a creek from our field's boundary. Fortunately, we are able to walk across a...

Ok, Mike - thanks for the feedback - with a little luck, you can get the time to resolve. As for now, I will not use Double Rate at all, especially on the 9XRPro with XJT, where I extensively use Rx Number(s)! One flyaway is enough :lol: That said, if you do not get time to resolve it for a while, i...

Hi Mike, Today, I ran the following test inside my workshop on a single S6R (from yesterday's test group) with both the QX7 and the 9XRPRo, ErSky9xr222c9 and external XJT module with firmware XJT_141016.frk with S6R Rx using S6RFCC20180328_1.frk firmware - NOTE: I increased the 'exercising' time up ...

Time to turn in to a pumpkin - will catch up with the conversation tomorrow morning, our time.

I'll see if I can add something to tell me about the timing of the doublerate. When I first added it, it didn't work as I had the second data frame overlapping the first. Mike Ok- you mean a diagnostic version or such, for me to use tomorrow? Or, something you're going to use yourself? To avoid any...

Ok, but that will have to be tomorrow, our time, about 11:30am (GMT+10) - it's already past the witching hour here for today - been out to my shed in the dark and rain twice already tonight and it's been a busy day already Apologies for the minor delay.
