Re: 9XR Pro is Here

Mike - Thank you for that detailed answer. I think I understand a lot better; it sounds a lot like the way I have to manage a router while I'm working with it. You go in, make your changes, save the changes, but they don't actually get implemented until you overwrite the "running profile" ...

250 model memories? woo, what a waste of eeprom memory :D :D or is it 25?? :shock: :mrgreen: Nope... it's 250 models, Voice, Rotary Encoder, Built-inTelemetry And Wireless Trainer Mode too. ;) Aside from being only 6 channel and the fact it "Thinks like a Spektrum", it's actually a pretty...

Re: 9XR Pro is Here

Really? Dang; that's a total pain in the patookie... we REALLY need to come up with a better solution though. I'm seeing the new DX6 advertised at $199.99, and it has Voice and 250 model memory PLUS SD card. "The Man" is coming closer and closer to having something that can compete. :P mne...

Re: 9XR Pro is Here

Maybe... but I'm using BT in a few headless applications as well; I just needed a quick & easy way to get basic parameters set before I embed the device.

Re: 9XR Pro is Here

My new BT Modules arrived today; since I'm working with both HC-05 & HC-06 modules on more than 1 project, I decided to actually make the programming socket I've been meaning to do for years. It's loosely based on the schematic in the HC05-HC06 Datasheet ; PC breadboard is Radio Shack # 276-158B...

Re: 9XR Pro is Here

Yeah, okay. I remember being able to save individual models in Companion9x on my computer, then picking & choosing from them to build a selection of models to load to the TX. I'm pretty sure OpenTX has been able to manage individual models the way you say since the release of the Taranis, though...

Re: 9XR Pro is Here

Okay... I've found the OpenTX domain and looking over their compatibility chart for the Pro I see a lot of similar features, but one big difference: OpenTX offers 60 active model memory vs 32 with ErSky9x. I'm guessing that's due to something being omitted; is it the onboard Wizards?

Okay... just out of curiosity. Do we have a port of OpenTX that'll run on the Pro yet? Let me rephrase that... which supports all the new goodies in the Pro? Is one in the works?

Re: 9XR Pro is Here

Hmmm... That is a bit confusing. Looks like they only support 1 data profile per firmware version. That sucks a little. It's nice they have a HCI profile available and a SPN profile, but would be preferable to be able to select the modes. Guess you can only fit so much into that limited space... sou...

Ummm... BT IS 2.4GHz. ;) And yes, that's what I said... Walkera and Spektrum both have wireless Trainer mode, but NOT via BT, so that WOULD be a first.

Re: 9XR Pro is Here

As I understand it, the KEY signal needs to be held HIGH to keep the '05 in AT command mode. Taking it, and keeping it, low switches to communication mode. Mike. Mike - That was why I was thinking about the HC-06-M. The HC-06-S modules which I've used all come up in AT/Command Console mode when the...

Re: 9XR Pro is Here

Hmmm... I wonder if the HC-06-M behaves the same as the HC-06-S; as in, it comes up in AT/Command mode until it establishes a link to another BT device? The datasheet seems to suggest that it does. I do not see the HC-06-M readily available on eBay; but there is a US vendor selling HC-05 bare module...

Re: 9XR Pro is Here

Okay... I'm confused now as to the specification for the port on the board. Is it designed as 3.3V native? I'd prefer to use the bare module myself, if possible. It fits really nicely in the lower corner of the TX, as far away as possible from the TX module. The module on a breakout board has to be ...

Well, no... I meant where is documentation for configuring the firmware for use with the Bluetooth? I know I'll need to configure the BT module myself outside the TX.

We will test the HC-05 as soon as Mike has some time to work on it. We just have to wait patiently ;) :) The HC-06 works but it is maybe a little limited as with the other we could maybe get 2 radios to talk? This is only speculation at the moment of course. But it would be very nice :) The 06 work...
