Thanks Mike that did the trick and is now displaying values between 112 and 130 depending on whether I raise or lower the model. I was unable to set the value exactly to 255 as at the level the numbers increment by 10 so I set it to 250. Is this documented somewhere, as all the documentation I have ...

According to the picture above you are not receiving telemetry at all :o Can you get RSSI and TSSI values other than zero when the receiver is ON? João When the receiver is on I am getting values for everything except the value of A2 which does not change. In the telemetry setup menu, configure A2 ...

OK I went flying this morning and I got no telemetry from the vario. Is there some way I can test this unit other than flying it in a model. It is no use driving around with it in my car as the land around here is as flat as a tack for some kilometres in any direction. Is there a setting I am missin...

Correct I am using a D6FR and I configured it as per this instruction. D6FR.jpg So as João said I am using A2 for the vario. The sensitivity setting I was referring to is in the telemetry settings in ersky9x, I will change this to 50, do I need to set voltage range for the A2 port in the first telem...

Success, :) I think. The upload finished without errors, I have installed it in an Easy Glider Pro connected to the A2 port, and when power is applied to the Rx I get a red light on the Arduino and a green light on the sensor. I assume that at least I have power, now to sort out the telemetry settin...

... and one more, Dave. Please post a picture of or link to your "QinHeng Electronics HL-340 USB-Serial adapter" adapter. And what Arduinos are you using? How do you connect the adapter to the Arduino? Please add a simple drawing or picture! (Could it be, that you are using a USB to RS232...

When I attempt to upload the sketch I receive the message avrdude: error: could not find USB device "USBasp" with vid=0x16c0 pid=0x5dc . :cry: I have a feeling that I need to do something to have the program recognise my usb device. A lsusb command displays Bus 004 Device 005: ID 1a86:7523...

As kalle123, first check that you can compile and flash a simple sketch like "BLINK". If you can't, we can give you some links in order to get some help about this basic task. I installed Arduino 1.0.5 and compiled both the simple sketch "BLINK" and also openXsensor. I have used...

There should not be an issue with OpenXsensor Configurator under linux. Had it working under PCLinuxOS and now under Debian 8.1 I created a script file similar to the one you used on page 2 of this thread and it is now running. So that is a start. Did you follow the instructions in the archive file...

How do I run the Configurator in Linux Mint 17.2. I have extracted the files from the archive and when I attempt to run the program file nothing happens. I do not get any errors, messages, nothing. I can run the Arduino IDE and load the OpenVario .ino file so that part is working but that is all. Is...

That is certainly possible, I will check the wiring out in the morning.

Dave

I tried that and the trim and the stick moved in the same direction, but on the display where you see the stick movement when you push the rudder stick to the right the display moves in the other direction. I can live with that, but I thought there may be another solution.

Dave

I recently installed Taranis gimbals in my sky9x system and have not used it since I got my 9XR Pro but since I am trying out the new Orange module that uses the internal antenna connection I have gone back to the sky9x and my FrSky Rx's. I have just noticed that while all the sticks move in the rig...

Mike, I am having a problem with the latest version of eepskye as it cannot read any of my model files, the message is Error reading file ??????.bin Unknown error. The previous version has no problem with these files.

Dave

That sounds like a plan, I will report back with findings. Once again thanks for all your help.

Dave

Not had one of those receivers to try! I notice the manual says you can disable the telemetry when binding by putting a bind plug in the throttle output. If you have a servo plugged in to the throttle output when binding maybe this could look like a bind plug and the telemetry is disabled. I will c...

This Rx
OrangeRx R720X 7Ch 2.4 GHz DSM2/DSMX Full Range Receiver. PRODUCT ID: 9171000582-0
and this sensor
Flight Pack Voltage & Temperature Sensor for OrangeRx Telemetry system. PRODUCT ID: 9171000551-0.

Dave

Confirmed Done. I can also confirm that I am using the test version from the 26th of June. Over to you again.

Dave

I now have the display screens and the various labels but there is still no data being displayed. I have changed the UserProto to DSMx in the telemetry settings, is there anything else I need to change. I had power to the Rx and the telemetry cable attached to the Rx and the battery at the time I to...

Deleted. I found the right place. I was only pressing the down button and not the left and right buttons.

The first time I tried to install it, I noticed that pin one was bent when I removed the module. The pins were not bent before that as I had just removed the FrSky module. When I lined up the module against the slot in the back of the TX I noticed the misalignment , the pin slot in the module were s...

I am attempting to setup some telemetry options, I have the Flight Pack Voltage and Temperature Sensor and I cannot see which options I should use in a custom telemetry screen, I have tried Batt and T1 but they do not appear to work also can you display RSSI and TSSI using this module. I will be int...

Yeah that's the one, We can't fool you

Dave

I have the one which uses the internal antenna. It is labelled internal module with telemetry.

I have just installed the new Orange Tx module in my 9XR Pro and can I say it is the worst fitting module I have ever installed in any radio. The pins do not align and to get it installed I had to remove the back of the transmitter and reposition the board underneath and then fit both the module and...

Just flashed that file to my 'PRO and it all works correctly! I assume you have tried flashing it more than once? Mike. Hi mike, As I said in the initial post I flashed it twice, once from the file on the SD card and once from eepskye, but I will try again. Dave OK, I have now done more testing and...

This is the file I used, I added the date to the filename for identification purposes.

Dave

I have just tried to load this firmware on my 9XR Pro and it does not work. I end up with static coming from the speaker and just hash displaying on the screen. I tried to install it both ways, by copying it to the SD card and flashing from there and also flashing via Eepskye. The results are the sa...

I am in the process of obtaining the parts required to build the vario using the GY-63 MS5611 sensor and the arduino pro mini and I was wondering if this could be used with the new Orange Tx module for the 9XR Pro and the new matching Orange Rx's. If this can be done what wiring changes would I need...

Not sure but I think new vario does not have an analog port to provide sertical speed. One solution could be to build your vario your self based on the instruction of openXsensor (= previously openxvario). This project available on github allow you to build a vario using an arduino pro mini (availa...
