SVN: erx9d-r218
MOD: X9D

Somehow it looks as if I have an older version.

Just a follow up from previous posts. The bench testing with ersky9x on the Taranis all went well and the field testing also proved successful with about 12 flights and no glitches. The only issue is that in this version of the FW (erxd-r218) the Copy Trim function doesn't work on any of the channel...

Thanks chaps for your help. Next tasks are to bench test everything then if all OK then flying at the weekend

Yes, if I change the setting from PPM to PXX all the remaining settings change. The receivers I'll be binding to are Frsky. I've got a Delta 8 outputting PWM (and all the associated spaghetti) and a D8R-XP outputting CPPM. I'm assuming that the "XX" part of PXX means that the settings are ...

Thanks Joao & Mike I've got the sound pack installed and working :) I think I've got the 3POS switch and SL configured as well but I'll need to check it out on my model which leads me on to another question. In the original Taranis OpenTX FW there was a menu option to bind the internal module wi...

Open eepskye and download your eeprom from the taranis onto it.. Now open eepe and open your saved eeprom from the 9XR. Drag the models one by one from the 9XR eeprom to the taranis eeprom in eepskye. This will copy them. An error will be displayed but you can ignore it. Now burn the taranis eeprom...

Go to the "Burn" menu/ configure and make sure the box "Use SAM-BA" is not ticked. Then start your taranis with both horizontal trims towards the center. You should be in bootloader mode. Now plug your USB cable. Two drives should appear on your desktop after a few seconds. One ...

I've managed to install ersky9x erx9d-r218 on my Taranis (not Plus). I did this by flashing the FW using Companion9X Version 1.52 on a PC running Ubuntu 14.04. For some reason Companion has connection issues with the USB in Windows 7, hence the use of Ubuntu. Meanwhile, I have saved my models via an...

Thanks. I sometimes have driver issues with Windows but I also have access to a Mac and a PC running Ubuntu 14.04

The Taranis still has the original stock FW on it.

Just done the FW upgrade that Mike suggested. My 9XR (M128 Mode 2) is now running:- VERS: V1. 346-MIKE DATE: 18.07.2015 TIME: 10:38:29 SVN: er9x-r819 MOD: FRSKY 128 Calibrated the sticks and then reloaded my EEPROM. Went to my model and gave full trim on ELE, RUD and AIL (didn't bother with THR). We...

Hmm a bug. Completely off topic but could this be why my ailerons have reversed momentarily when the plane is at distance. Only happened twice but definitely a brown trouser moment

There appears to be something strange going on. I created a new model, gave the ELE a thumb load of trim, went to Limits>Copy Trim and the same result i.e. nothing passed to sub trim. So, I tried again but this time on the AIL and RUD. This time the trim values were passed across to sub trim as expe...

It doesn't matter if I press Menu long or short. When I press Menu the Copy Trim dialogue on the screen flashes and the Tx beeps but nothing gets passed to the sub trim. I'm sure this has the M128 processor. Not sure if it helps but here's the EEPE file.

Nope. Still doesn't work. Tx is Mode 2 with standard RETA configuration. I just tried again with exactly the same result. Nothing is being passed across to the sub trim menu with channel 2 (ELE) remaining at zero?

I'm running er9x-r817 on a Turnigy 9XR For a while now I've been wondering why I have to re-trim my model after using the function: Limits>Copy Trim , so I set it up on the bench to have a look at what was going on. I flew the plane through a few circuits and where I needed to put in quite a bit of ...

Got it Thank you

I recall reading somewhere that after making slight trim adjustments there is a way in ER9X to pass the revised trim settings to the sub trims menu and therefore zero the trim settings on the Tx. I've read the new manual but it would appear I've missed it

Thank you

Just need some advice about setting up my P2 knob on my 9XR. ER9X is V1.127-Mike, Date: 08.04.2015, SVN: er9x-r817 The P2 knob needs to output 100 at it's fullest counter clockwise position and 0 at it's fullest clockwise position. I've set up the knob (P2) on channel 6: Source P2 Weight 100 How do ...

Perfect! The wizard is easy to use. Thank you.

Thanks Mike

I've got it working now. I was looking to try out the Model Wizard but I don't appear to be able to find it? Screenshot attached of the version I've got running.

I thought I would try the development version of eepe located here: http://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4598 . It's the version dated 30-Apr-2015 00:37 and I wanted to try out the Model Wizard. I already have companion9x v1.52 (2014-01-10) installed on my Windows 7 PC along with th...

I've got a Turnigy 9XR running er9x-r817, which I believe is the latest version having downloaded it the other week, with the Tx plugged into my PC (Win7) which is running Phoenix v5. I've configured a basic high wing trainer and all 4 main channels are working just fine. During the Tx configuration...

Having googled for hours I can't find/clarify which version of ER9X I need to update my Turnigy 9XR transmitter. My understanding is that the latest stable release is r817 and various derivatives of it are located here: https://code.google.com/p/er9x/source/browse/#svn/trunk but I have no idea which...

Thank you :-) My PC is running Windows 7. Do you know if I will need the Zadig driver for the PC and Taranis to talk to each other? The reason I ask is that the pdf for my version of OpenTX makes reference to zadig being required to flash the FW. On the basis that I don't intend to upgrade the FW am...

I bought my Taranis a while ago. It's still got the original version of OpenTX FW installed. Looking at the Radio Setup screen 4/7 (Version) it says:- SVN: opentx-r2940 DATE: 2014-02-02 TIME: 17:32:09 EEPR: 215 From reading the info on the OpenTX website it appears that the FW has gone through vario...

The instructor Tx is a Turnigy 9XR running ER9X. Two students, one has a Taranis the other a Turnigy 9XR. The Student Tx's are set up with a basic 4 channel model to act as the buddy feeding into the Instructor Tx via a JR buddy lead. My question is about any adjustments the Instructor makes such as...

should work on the Taranis without needing to change the limits.

Mike.

Yep. That's what I did i.e. set the weight at 80 like you recommended in ER9X. Looks like I'm good to go. Thanks for your help again

Thank you I'm not as young as some of you guys and I guess this was one of my senior moments. I've got it working now. Down the club tomorrow to test it out. Mark
