Thanks for the reply Mike

I will look into it - although unfortunately the module has been on back order at HK for some time

Hans

Thanks Mike Thats a good step forward giving 9Xtreme users more telemetry options Does it require a firmware update and/or the switching of any protocol settings? Now we will have to see what modifications are needed to aerial connection on the production module and also how the latest telemetry rec...

Hi Guys

Thanks for the interesting replies

It seems that Frsky, although potentially more costly, is the tried and tested route for telemetry

I guess I need to think a bit deeper into the complications of the Orange option

Hans

Hi Guys I notice that HK have just launched the Orange DSMX receiver R620X - this provides telemetry at a reasonably low price. I have successfully used the 9X with Orange DSMX receivers and the Orange module. I guess I can use the Orange module in the 9Xtreme but my question is - is possible to use...

Hi Mike

Well done - that's fixed my splash screen issue
Everything now working as it should

Many thanks for you hard work

Hi Mike

Thanks for the update - I will give a try

I don't understand the comments regarding MULTI but I guess there are not relevant to me
I'm just using Turnigy and Orange modules at the moment

Hans

Mike
Thanks for the ultra quick reply

I'm glad you understand them

Good luck with the fix - I think a few people have this glitch

Hans

045B 03AA 0081 03FA

I've just posted a special test version for you here: http://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=126&t=7751 . After boot up, press UP LONG, then RIGHT a few times to get the the DEBUG display. There will be 9 (hex) numbers displayed. Please let me know what these are. There is code in the sp...

Mike
Any further thoughts on this splash screen anomaly?

Hans

hi asriznet

wow - you did your fair share of formatting

glad you fixed the problem finally

regards
Hans

Hi asriznet

I just put a new used SD card into my 9Xtreme board and I didnt format it

everything worked ok

hope this helps

Hans

Hi Mike

Forgot to answer your final question
The answer is yes - after powering on normally,and getting to the "Boot Reason" display, I get "POWER ON"?

Hans

Thanks for the quick reply Joao

I will stick with Er9X on the 9X

Good luck with the Ersky manual

thanks for the support

Hans

Hi Guys

I'm looking for some advice on interchangeability between Er9X and Ersky9X

I am currently using Er9X with a Smartieparts board in my old 9X and Ersky9X in my new 9xtreme

In the interest of consistency, I thought I might flash my old 9X with Ersky9X - would this work?

regards
Hans

Hi Mike The firmware and bootloader update has cured the very long delay before the bootloader text appeared but things still dont seem quite right The 'Extreme' text doesnt appear - there is just a very quick red flash before going into bootloader The text on the bootloader screen comes on after ab...

Hi Steven

I used the 9XPRO documents to get me through the set up steps

viewtopic.php?f=122&t=5575

I think you could use this format as an outline and shorten/convert the text to suit the 9XT

Thanks for the help and support

Hans

Hi Mike/Joao Tried bootloader without SD card in place - no change Updated the firmware to version 8/12/15 and bootloader to v1.8 The bootloader screen now loads ok within about 1 second but the splash screen has gone When switching on, I now get a very short flash of red screen and then it goes str...

Joao

No but I will try that today before updating the firmware

thanks for the suggestion

regards
Hans

Hi Guys
I have the same issue with the display when selecting bootloader but it can take several minutes before I get the display 'bootloader ready'

Nevertheless file transfers and firmware updates work ok

I guess I need to try Mikes latest firmware fix

regards
Hans

Mike I thought I might try the 9Xtreme with simulators and I have a couple of questions:- 1 I assume I must load the test firmware version you just posted on this thread- is this now called the Joysticks version? 2 Do I use the type of USB cable illustrated by Jimkill - I assume this goes into the t...

The extra push buttons seem interesting and apparently simple to install

How would they be incorporated into the mixes and firmware?

regards
Hans

Great job jhsa
Thanks for posting the information and photos
The modifications are now very clear and its something everyone can consider as we continue using the 9X

Hans

Mike.

Hi Mike

Yes - I get the '9Xtreme' message and r 00.3

Does this confirm I have no firmware issues ?

regards
Hans

Mike Yes its only the data that flashes although it now seems to flash only once after a rather slow start with the first switch on. When switching on and off following the first switch everything seems to be normal except for the lack of the initial '9XTREME' message Data transfer is all fine regar...

Mike
The boot loader screen shows 'Boot Loader V1.7Ready' and the firmware files I have loaded
regards
Hans

Thanks Steven - thats good to know

Mine is holding up at the moment but it needs careful handling and a strong pull to separate the cable

I guess it will get easier with use

regards
Hans

Just one other question - when in bootloader mode, it sometimes can take a minute or so before the text comes on to the screen - is this normal? No, you should see "9XTREME" in the centre almost immediately (this comes from the original mainboard, followed by the "Boot Loader" s...

Mike Thanks for the link to the firmware test versions - I will keep track on that I have now successfully updated the firmware using version dated 21 October that you posted earlier - so that proves that its all working as expected Just one other question - when in bootloader mode, it sometimes can...

Hi Mike I'm just trying out the firmware update process at the moment - I checked the version of the firmware on the 9Xtreme - it was V1946 26/8/15 r218 I downloaded the ersky9x9XT_rom.bin file from the homepage on to the SD card using the USB connection and then flashed it to the TX using bootloade...
