Aha, I thought you were using plippers

It is a well known fact that all Fortugues have enoromous Peet

Thanks, perfect!

That sounds good Mike! I'll try it this week and report back. Now, how about a straightforward pdf file of the pcb anyone? I have photo resist pcb (somewhere), uv lightbox I made yonks ago (too big to lose!) and some ferric chloride (somewhere) and some clear film. Given the pdf, I WILL find the stu...

Add me to the list please Brent!

Thanks,

Clive

Pretty sure I read somewhere that you don't get the hub data with the free version.
It certainly works with the paid for one, at least for me.

Thanks leo, I wonder if something changed in 4.1 then maybe perhaps? Could it be this :- Android 4.1, Jelly Bean Text-to-speech " Jelly Bean introduces a new conversational text-to-speech voice in US English, available as both a network engine and an embedded engine via the TTS API." :?:

Phone v 4.0.3, Nexus v 4.1.1
That could well be it Rob.
Is anyone else trying these apps with android 4.1.1 phone/tablet?
Thanks!

Only one small problem, the nexus 7 doesn't "speak" with logger or dashboard,
my phone does.
Have tried a couple of text to speech apps with no luck so far.
Has anyone had this with nexus

Clive

Ok, no big deal I know, you did a great job sorting the board dimensions!
I am just trying to save some head scratching for someone!

Clive

Ok, just looked at the original 9X board, so no problem there, the switches are all linked side to side on the main board, so the problem will not arise. On the ersky9X, the lower pair of connections on each switch are not, so you need to bridge them on the back of the main pcb to maintain the conne...

Just fitted my encoder. Found the left and down arrows didn't work :o I found you need to bridge the lower contacts on each of the 4 directional switches. Maybe not necessary to bridge all four perhaps, but I did anyway. They are not bridged on the adaptor pcb. This applies to the ersky board, anywa...

Thanks Dan, (and Iksbob) for your efforts!
Received the boards last week sometime, I was on holiday.
Seems to be a good job in achieving what was to me an impossible task!
Well done, much appreciated!

Clive

I'm not as drunk as thinkle peep I am!

Hmm dunno
I thought you had it pretty much spot on with Rev B brent
I can perfectly understand your wanting to "tidy up" the board around the reg's,
but to my mind this is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Just my opinion

Clive

Quality seems quite good to me Rob. Plastic screen, for the money I reckon it's ok. Less than a week from China. The bluetooth was useless on the Neon, this one works! I do wonder if Android 4 is better at handling BT than Android 2 maybe? I was tempted by the white one at £99.99, but would have bee...

Anything, but anything has got to be better than Tracey Emin's efforts,
but what do I know about art

Clive

Beautiful job Dan, can't wait.
Thankyou for that
Just one question, where do I buy the the Rotaty encoders from

Clive

Gave up on the Neon, it's going back. Maybe I had a bad one, who knows? Got this instead:-
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008 ... 01_s00_i00
So far it seems to work perfectly with both apps

Clive

Hang on, not so fast :? How is the temperature going to be monitored? I have 2 Ersky9x boards. One shows me 2 deg c, the other 47 deg c when first switched on in the same room! (Cpu temp) I suspect it's probably about 25 deg in here now :o Unless they can be calibrated, any temperature alarm will be...

Idiot switch??
Which one?

I have had no success connecting my Bluechip Neon phone (el cheapo) to RN-42/JY-MCU Module
It pairs instantly, simply wont connect with FRSY Dashboard , FRS Logger or Blueterm.
No problem with Nexus 7.
Buy cheap, buy twice?

Clive

Great news Mike! We need help as usual

No rssi?
There was a bug, have you got the latest version of logger?

Go to settings in FRS logger whilst receiving telemetry, and then "connect" perhaps? please help! hey guys. I got my RN-42 module for SparkFun. I soldered it up to a 4 pin cpu fan connector as seen below. I am getting data from the FrSky telemetry module back to my radio no problem however...

I know it's expensive, but the spektrum SPM6817E case seems good, it puts the aerial/antenna/twig(!) above
all the metal, and I guess would take any module with a bit of fiddling? (I don't work for Spektrum!)

Thanks for that, bit bigger than I need!
Have confirmed it IS the Bluechip Neon at fault. I wonder if it's put rightable?

Thanks again Peter, I'll try and borrow something else bluetooth to try it with.
Real pain it is, been trying all ways for a week now without success
I have tried 2 different JY-MCU modules.

Clive

Don't buy a Bluechip Neon like I did. (A502 V2.2.1)

The bluetooth simply will not connect with either FRSY Dashboard or FRS Logger (unless mine is faulty)
It would be handy to have a list of phones that DO work.
