For some time I have successfully used switched 3.5mm audio jacks as a useful socket for providing both power to the receiver, and charging of the battery. The idea simply being that when the male jack is plugged in, the receiver is unpowered and the charge circuit enabled - when the jack is removed...

As a thought. ...

If you flight controller expects a voltage... say 0-5v...

A small DC speed controller can be made to deliver the voltage using the input from the channel as the source.

I think you may need to search for 'threaded stand off'

To be fair... The reason frsky has done this is because it is no longer legal to sell equipment in Europe that uses this protocol. This is the result of new eu legislation on how the 2.4g band is used. Silly thing is... it's illegal to sell the gear. .. but not currently illegal to use it! So the so...

Buzzing is caused by the rf from the antenna in close proximity to the speaker.

Your options are:

1. Relocate the antenna
2. Shield the inside of the tx and speaker with insulated foil.

All the ones I have on our server... I purchased.

Happy to install one if wanted. . But not so happy to buy it - would need to be funded.

Do you have a sapi voice file for Dutch?

Probably easiest to use one of these.

You could as am option do a simple arduino Mavlink to frsky convertor.

Believe there are some open source ode bases on the net. ..

Rob, that would be very helpful. All the install files for eepe/eepskye need around 28 megabytes, and the er9x/ersky9x release files need around 4 megabytes. I would think I only need the latest release stored, so a total of around 50 megabytes should be sufficient. Thank you. Mike. I will sort out...

Mike... shout if you need some Web space.

I sort this out for opentx so can do the same for you if you want.

Yes. I have done that many times.

Unfortunately there will always be idiots doing stupid things. Certainly regulations will be required. But unfortunately that will still not stop the idiot. They will blindly continue and cause a problem. Hell. Gun laws don't stop idiots using them and killing people. All regulations do is mitigate ...

The 'antenna warning' message is sounded when the phisical antenna in the radio has a problem. Chances are it was soldered badly.. or the coax has a flaw.

So yes.. replacing the back board would work - but my guess is they could have gotten away with just replacing the antenna.

Sad to here. I heard she was undergoing Cancer treatment a few months back. A great loss

Lol. I flya mix of jeti and taranis. cant wait for a tray version of opentx

A year or two on.. and a potential commercial product has been realised...

Why dont you make a start by converting the coee you have to work within the context of opentx? Moat if not all hardware bits are abstracted out into separate blocks of code. Biggest issue you will have will always be getting people on board behind the specific radio hardware. Kind of needs a critic...

Lol.. I run an ISP.

Hacks of the opensource systems is a big issue. If you leave them untended for any length of time you can be sure to get a hack.

The same hackers took out dozens of our clients sites. Good ol wordpress for you.

Indeed...

Probably worth me upgrading wordpress on it one day! I look at it so seldom its no suprise its using an out of date copy!

Rob

Hello,

Believe I have fixed it.

Can you test and let me know? I am in South Africa at the moment. Not much net access!

Rob

Believe he is referring fo the rotor configuration.

Regardless - the configution is thw job of the flight controller. Simple 4ch model is all opentx needs to supply.

Jusy setup a regular 4ch model.

Exact channel orderingy will depend on your flight controller.

Maybe the 'Protocol' field should change to read just:

Protocol:
-> FRSKY HUB
-> FRSKY SPORT
-> JETI XBUS
-> ANALOG VOLTAGE

Not sure if there would be enough space on-board to compile all the protocols as standard!

Rob

Ok. Then most likely the rf module update.

Now the question is where the hell is the update!

I will see if I can track it down.

Rob

Actually.. have you upraded the stock firmware on the radio - ever?

If not. Update via companion. It will probably fix it!

I have a vague memory of a firmware update that fixed a crc error on the rf module.

It was a steange update that gad to be done via the ppm portib the module bay.

Are you able to post a copy of your epprom?

No chance you have accidently applied a curve to the mix that is limiting movement?

X > v or x < v ?
