Re: Taranis dropping telemetry packets

Have you tried logging the data to the SD card anyway? I think there might be some filtering in the display code.

Re: Throttle hold pitch curve

On my heli setups I use a linear curve or -100 to 100. So I don't have a separate curve for it. I am usually in an idle up mode when I fly. Don't forget to use replace on that mixer line, and make sure you set curve c7 to what you want.

Re: Auto max throttle

My esc already does this on it's own. The only thing you add here is an adjustable voltage. It would be best to have the throttle signal decreased rather than cut off. Some esc's will pulse the throttle also, which may be a better indication.

Re: dm9 130x issues

I don't think your module is making good contact with the pins. So the module is losing the ppm signal. With mine I had to slightly bend the pins so they would make good contact.

Re: Processor type

Try "reading" the chip in companion or eepe. Both programs should default to an m64. If that works without error it is an m64. If it doesn't work it is probably an m128. But post the error message here as it will contain the chip id, and someone can look it up for you. -Gohst Sent from my ...

Re: Nose Wheel Steringamount based on Throttle

If you did want to keep some steering at full throttle you could use a curve: +100% RUD *100% THR Curve(C1) Then curve C1 is 100 75 50 25 0. Set up like this it will do the same thing Mike's above does. If you start raising the right hand side of the curve however then you can still have some steeri...

The script for it is already in a subfolder. It can probably just be commented out of the Makefile. So it will probably still be there, just disabled.

Re: Tips for using the 9x with a car

It's on the first page (2/?) of the model settings. Scroll down past the timer settings and look for "Beep Cnt". Move the cursor over to "T" then press menu once. When you move the cursor off of it, it will be highlighted meaning the beep is enabled for that control.

Re: Tips for using the 9x with a car

You can set a center beep on the throttle stick. This would give you an audio indication of center. I've never had a reversing ESC, so for me throttle on the left steering on the right is what I do.

Re: backlight always on

I think the voltage from pin 17 should be higher. It should be much closer to 5V, the same voltage the processor is running from. If it isn't then I think there must be an extra load on the pin. A FET doesn't draw much current so the load shouldn't be coming from that. Do you have a picture of your ...

The resistor marking means 100 ohms. That's 10 + 1 zero. If it were marked 103 then that would be 10 + 3 zeros = 10k ohm.

You would also need an option to keep it working the way it does now also. I tend to keep flying the plane while holding the switch.

Re: Strange problem with 9XR in Trainer mode

Your motor is going to 50%. The ppm input defaults to center stick positions, so it is the same as centering all of the controls, including the throttle. Get a new mono audio cable, sounds like that it's the problem.

If you were able to do the setup through mission planner, then your radio is communicating with the copter. There is probably a specific stick movement you need to do to arm the motors. You will need to check the documentation of your control board for what that is. You may also need to calibrate th...

If you can use the '-B' option with avrdude the frequency you use doesn't matter much. To program an avr, the programmer speed must be less than 1/4 of the oscillator speed. 1MHz is a good value, as it is usually easy to find. I like João's suggestion. Get an Arduino.
