Found something strange from companion. When I read EEPROM from my TX (Taranis) and look the custom functions from that single model (P-51D) which I have setup in the radio. There's a safety function for channel 3 and C9X shows value -125 even that I have set it up to be -100 in the radio. And in th...

I don't like these solutions for the sliders from any of the transmitter brands what I have tried (and there is a lots of them ;) ). I'd prefer more like a disc or a wheel on the side of the radio but as far as I know, there is no manufacturer which has done this. I mean similar wheel like in a norm...

So, what's up with this problem? I just tried to setup countdown timer with my new Taranis and after a tenth second it just kept saying ten seconds, ten seconds and etc. Then I read somewhere that timer10.wav should be removed and I did so. After that countdown just beeps from ten to zero. How to en...

Hmm...we need to find out a holder for a beer can.

Hello, Yesterday I took a Taranis and wen't to our clubs flying field with my glow engined Mustang P-51D which has V8FR-II receiver in it. First I find hard time to bind the receiver. Then I read somewhere that jumper need to be used between channels 1 and 2 signal line pins. So I did so, but it sti...

Okay. That's clear then.

Okay nice to hear. I thought that was somekind of flaw in my radio. How do you change the grey scales? I see the contrast option (as it has been with my T9X already), but no slider for the greyness of the LCD. Or do I need to upgrade the software (going to do later today anyway).

Hi, When I change the contrast of LCD I will see a black bar across the top of the screen (at first row) on menus (and main display of course). For that reason I need to keep the contrast as minimum as possible (altough its still shimmering through a little bit). Anybody else suffering about that? I...

Hi, And thanks for the solution. I have no need to plug in my old FrSky DJT module to Taranis because all my receivers should be compatible with Taranis XJT. Only thing was that FlySky module, can that be used after that mod and seems so that I can, so everything is settled now. Thanks for all once ...

Yes I did. I made the modification without level converter circuit and soldered couple resistors and jumper wires inside of FrSky module. For FlySky the instuctions (http://openrcforums.com/wiki/index.php/9x_Full_Mod_FlySky) said that pin 2 should be isolated and this is what I did. I cut the trace ...

I got mine today. :) LHS ordered transmitters with white and blue backlight and I wanted the white one but today, when LHS got the batch out from the customs they noticed that all was with blue backlight but with 2GB micro-SD card already in place which, I quess doesn't belong to original FrSky setu...

Yeah, I got notification about that on facebook and went to their site and it was BK already. But I hope I will have my Taranis today from LHS. Customs have held their batch of 20 Taranis a couple days now so, they are almost here. :) p.s: I also take notice that HK version does not have receiver (w...

Hi, I received a message from modellblau and they said: we do not have plans to support the FrSky System at the moment. That's all. :( I still liked to ask why, but it doesn't matter as this stage because they have made their decision already so, let it be.... So, no UniSens-e sensor for FrSky. Let'...

You can do something like this using the allegro sensors and Rainer's openXsensor project. http://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=3420&start=30#p51498 Here I used an Allegro ACS758 100U which is 100A, but there are also 150 and 200A sensors. In my opinion it is better to get &qu...

Hmm... let me think awhile about that, but meanwhile what about this -> http://www.ebay.com/itm/50A-100A-150A-2 ... 1040360152

Could that be utilized somehow to measure the amp draw and consumed amps?

Is there a possibility to hack some current sensor to deal more than 100A? For example 120A (constant) would be veeeery nice to have. 140A for a while would be even better. For example what would it take to hack FrSky own 100A sensor or maybe this one -> http://www.flytron.com/sensors/64-ultralight-...

Hi, Today we're getting a batch of 20 Taranis at in here Finland and I'm going to get one (have been struggling a long time between this and Futaba T-14SG). I really liked to have haptic feedback because I'm already used to it with my modded 9X. Is it possible to somehow add it? I already read that ...

Hi,

I'm about to send those documents now to sm-modellbau, cos I really need ampere sensor which is capable for more than 100A, but the links does not work. I tried to search for the documentation but did not succee. Can someone provide those documents again - thanks!

I know some computer speakers and center channel home theater speakers were marketed as 'shielded' . This was because the magnets in the speakers distorted the images on tube type displays. I wonder if the speakers themselves were shielded, or was just the enclosure shielded. It would be great if a...

Yes I thought that. I think I can lower my current draw with the Hawk to under that 100A limit with couple changes (higher voltage and lower KV). But I'm building another one where current draw will be more than 150A. No sensor for that one....

But as far as I have understood that it can be only used setup which draws 100A and under. Am I right? It would really be nice to have sensor which could stand higher power consumption than this. I'd really like the idea to have an alarm, when some amount of current is being drawn from batteries. Ho...

Hi, Is there any current sensor for FrSky modded Turnigy9X which shows current consumption (mAh) and is capable to handle ~120 amp draws? I need one for my glass fiber ~1.2m BAE HAWK EDF plane which draws around 120 amps at WOT? It uses 8S 4000mAh LiPos and it would be good to know when batteries ar...

Last summer I flied HobbyKing TekSumo EPP plane with 3ch receiver as far as I could see it (at least 300m high and 100m maybe more away). Also last summer I had 3ch receiver in my Multiplex FunJet. Plane is small but pretty damn cool fast and can fly relatively far. I did not have any problems with ...

Hi, Where do we can get that FrSky protocol specs.? I could send those to sm-modellbau and ask if they could add a support for it. And I would be pleased if someone originally from Germany could assists, because I heard that people behind sm-modellbau doesn't speak (or read) english. Atleast not so ...

Hi, I haven't notice any discussion about this Unisens-E sensor here 9x forums. Could it be possible to get this working with FrSky/OpenTX or ER9X? I saw this in my flying club buddy sailplane with Multiplex radio. It's awesome. All needed information in a one tiny package. http://www.sm-modellbau.d...

How about the potentiometer made by Namco with part number: VG75-03824-00.

I had similar problem today in our flight club house. I just wanted to demonstrate to flying buddy how timers works in opentx. I set two timers for a model THs and THt. Then I moved throttle full up to start both timers. Then I moved throttle down to show that another one will still continue and on ...

It has been said that if full range is needed then one should use this device: http://www.ehirobo.com/shop/product_inf ... s_id=11530

I can ask from the author if he could create couple pieces for me. I'd like to have one also.

I don't know if anyone has heard about this allready or is this complete forthless piece of information but I liked to anounce about one project called AnyTX which has been introduced in one Finnish forum. What it is? AnyTX is a scratch made transmitter module for 9X which can be binded to well know...
