FrSky vario always changes constantly due to interference from receiver or electrical noise on wires. I finally gave up on mine and switched to the Winged Shadow How High. It is accurate and does not vary. Try placing your FrSky vario as far as possible away from receiver antenna's and servo wires. ...

You have to use Companion 9x for backup and restore for ersky9x boards. Some settings may change slightly. I have noticed this only with timer switches. eePe does not support erSky9x yet.

I would like one of the low + 2.4 units and am interested in the 5.8 add-on

It will show if your BEC can supply proper voltage when all of your servos are operating. If your voltage drops below 5V when operating all of your servos at the same time on the ground then you may have a problem in the air when the servos have to push against the airflow loads. When the voltage dr...

I would like 2 boards

Paul

Try different speakers. The one I used originally was very weak but the one I got from Brent with my second board was very much louder.

I just tried a 16Gb card in my trans. It wouldn't work and had similar CID CSD to Playmobil's. SCR was all FFFF. My 4 GB card works fine as usual.

Paul

I set a safety switch to read out my frsky vario every 16 sec. Even though I zeroed the altitude it would still read out the actual altitude which was 660 metres.
Paul

Try using a pin of 0000. Several of my bluetooth devices had that as a default.

Paul

Is the encoder an incremental or absolute? I have some incremental encoders I would like to try.

Paul

I just flew 3 different models with r80. No problems at all. Everything worked normal including telemetry.

Paul

I am having the same problem with my ersky9x. I have to enter the RSSI settings every time I turn it on. The module always seems to default to the original factory settings

Paul

My ersky9x with Frsky telemetry module is powered by 2 Trustfire Lion's with no problems. The specs on the Frsky module say a minimum voltage of 6.0 volts so your voltage warning should be set higher than that. With those lion cells you should have a minimum voltage warning of at least 7.0 volts. Paul

My 4 Gb card that gave problems earlier now shows Ready 0008 and lots of data other than 0000 in CID CSD and SCR.

Thanks Mike. Looking forward to what can be stored there. I can't imagine being able to fill 4Gb.

Paul

I have also have the same problem. It seems to be a very common opinion of the FrSky Vario. The further you can get the vario and hub away from the other electronics, the more stable the reading. Unfortunately, the most common use of an altimeter will be in a glider and they usually have the least a...

The original SD card I tried was a Lexar 4gb about 2 years old and not a very fast one. I also tried another Lexar 4gb, 2 Sandisk 16Gb, and 1 Sandisk 32Gb with identical results. The 32 Gb is new and the others are several years old.

Paul

Just tried r66 and still problems with SD card, however, more info now. I still get NOT Ready but 0000 to the right with no SD card inserted and 0001 with the card inserted. CID CSD and SCR have all 0000 with or without card.

Paul

I have checked the connections to the SD card reader and it all looks proper. I resoldered the connections anyway. The sd-card detect connection works properly. With no sd card inserted I get +3.3v at pb7/pin83 of the processor. With the card inserted then pb7/pin83 is at 0v. The description of the ...

The card had already been used. I reformatted it to erase the data on the card.

I just put in a blank 4gb sd card formatted to Fat 32 and page 9 of Radio setup shows NOT Ready. What is the max capacity and format type for the SD card? 4gb is the smallest I have.

Paul

On startup from off for 2 hours I have 25C in a 21C room.

The new selection "Int. Frsky alarm" on page 1 of the Radio setup does not work. When I select it ON I can choose some great sounds for the alerts but they never trigger the alert. Turning it OFF allows the alerts for A1 and A2 set on page 10 of the model menu to work with their plain beep...

Kilrah: Good Call. I do have a FrSky DJT module installed. I removed the module and current is now slightly higher with the higher voltage packs. I measured 56 ma with the 2S lion, 57 with the 3S life, and 58 with the 3S lipo. The current screen on the ersky9x read 49 for the lion, and 50 for both t...

Some interesting battery amperage findings. I compared various batteries and got some unusual current readings. I hooked up a multi-meter in series with a battery connected to the ersky9x. The battery had a voltmeter attached to the balance port. I realize that the current reading in the 9X is uncal...

Tried the new audio in R44. I have an 8 ohm speaker in the ERSKY9x and a piezo speaker mod in the ER9X. Sounds on the ERSKY9X seem to be significantly higher pitch.

Paul

Did you change the stick spring tensions by adjusting the screws sticking out of the back of the sticks? If you increase the stick tension of the rudder too much then the throttle stick will not go to its full mechanical limits and you will get the throttle warning. I had this happen on a set of sti...

Mike

I have one of my timers set to a time of 00:00 and the first trigger set to ABS with the second trigger set to default of ---. This timer counts up from 0 on startup of the radio so both triggers do not need to be set to get a timer to operate.

Paul

I think you have to have the USB driver installed before you can select the device. I have a HK 3s LIFE battery installed on mine and did some measurements. At 9.8V I got 70 ma current draw with a spektrum full range rf board installed. I can set one of my pots in a centered position with the stock ...

I found the problem with my DSM2 model match issue. It turned out to be the receiver I was using. It was an Orange R415 and whenever it is powered up without a valid signal received then the servos are driven to the max position. It does prove that the model match was working correctly, however I wi...
