I should be able to put a new revision up tomorrow with these 'features' modified.

Mike.

Most of the info is in the first post of this thread, anyone able to 'wiki' it?

I think all the voice changes, except the last addition of two special switches, made it to the official release r766 now available. Hopefully, future updates will now be done formally by new revisions there.

Mike.

Having added the voice option, er9x is now back under svn on the er9x site. It is also compiled using a newer compiler that saved some flash. It has been tested, but just double check all seems OK before flying.

You can get the trim value using a single mix, just include a curve, set to all zero. This stops the stick from affecting the mix, but the curve is not applied to the trim so the trim still works. For the second thing, again consider a curve. If you set a curve to -60, -30, 0, 30, 60, you get a 60% ...

Not impossible, but is it safe? On er9x, suppose you have model1 playint 0101.wav as ME109 and model2 playing 0102.wav as "Spitfire". Now, using eepe/companion you change your model1 and model2 to different models. You would need to change the files on the SD card, difficult if you can't g...

Thanks, I'll see what I can do.

Mike.

I'll look at the stick monitoring for the inactivity alarm, I had noticed this myself, I may have a fix for it.

Mike.

Is this voice model name just at switch on, or whenever a model is loaded? It may be tricky, particularly on er9x, keeping in sync. If you upload a different model to a slot, you need to make sure the voice name tracks it. On ersky9x we might be able to the model name as the filename ( the first 8 c...

been trying to to make some custom audio files with Audacity. I've tried both 16 bit signed and 8 bit unsigned wav's but they play very sloooow What sample rate are you using? All the files I've posted were recorded and edited using Audacity 2. Before you record a file, set the project sample rate ...

The templates use up a lot of flash, Erazz dropped them on the FrSky version because it was getting close to not fitting any more, I agreed with that. So the er9x-frsky is NOT (no templates). We are simply pushing the limits of the stock board all the time. Putting the templates back in either may n...

I'm trying not to eat up all the EEPROM, but maybe we have to use some to give the functionality we need. It may mean you have to load the models you wish to fly into the Tx if we can only store a few. I have a couple of mode values left, I only used 6 so far. I could try to add an extra mode settin...

Goes like that sometimes unfortunately. Most people are grateful for what we can do, and are even prepared to wait until time permits to do something extra. Maybe, get people to 'play' with eepe. If they can't (or won't) then don't mod a radio for them. I assume a clipped Sing cub comes from Fortuga...

25 should be "foot", the idea is that I MAY be able to change to the singular units. So 3 metres, 2 metres, 1 metre. At the moment you will get 1 metres.

Mike.

I've added another new er9x.hex for testing to the first post, together with the current list of sounds as a .csv file.
This new version includes two, RAM based, options for voice switches, see viewtopic.php?f=7&t=545&start=750#p15959 for details.

Mike.

No. I haven't had any time to look into that. I have a feeling it may take a bit of sorting out. I'm toying with the idea of using something like ZMODEM over bluetooth, or the other serial port to give access to the SD card files for updating them. Maybe not quite as easy to use, but would save open...

No, I've only just finished the code on ersky9x, it's easier to test on there. I only 'published' it because of the safety switc bug I left in. I'm still waiting on Erazz to build the er9x release, r764 is only sources committed. I'll try for a test version of er9x, and put it on the first page of t...

Jmi: Try checking for the backlight output from the 74HC574 is working.

Bill516: It only clocks when it is needed, although in order to keep the backlight operating correctly it still pulses occaisonally.

Mike.

There's so much in this code it's quite difficult to keep checking everything is still working properly. I probably need to write a 'Hub Emulation' program so I can feed in test data without flying. I've already got a POT on the A2 input of a receiver to allow some testing. Check you haven't got Gps...

OK, r91 fixes that safety switch bug, I caught it in er9x, missed updating the same thing in ersky9x. I'm running to separate sets of sources. With my current implementation, having the old audio alarm when the voice file is missing will take a bit of sorting, by the time I find the voice file missi...

We'll try it as is and see. Each file can take 0.8 to 1 second to output, so for 356m we need "3" "hundred" "fifty" "6" "metres". That's 5 separate voice files so 4 toi 5 seconds to speak. Your height will have changed in that time anyway. It also de...

A value of e.g. 356 is decoded as 305. (three hundred five) Tens value is spoken as units and units are lost. In conjuction with switches, I dont get any voice. There is a short (about one second) high frequency buzzing or humming with very low loudness. Ok, I can fix the spoken value. To avoid ver...

Iwk: Not at present. I need to look into processing the GPS position. I have an idea on how to do this, but I need more time to get round to implementing it.

Mike.

I'm looking to checking the BT module for the current baudrate it is working at, then changing it to the required baudrate.

Mike.

I assume with er9x, and you have the MET/IMP set to IMP otherwise it will be 400 metres. I thought it was still working, but I'll check. Problem is we have rain and more forecast continuously for the next several days.

Mike.

soundmode speaker - inactivity alarm works soundmode speakervoice - inactive inactivity alarm.... set it to 1min, and with voice, nothing.. with just speaker set, it goes off in a min. If any voice output seems to be missing, check there is a voice file present for it. I obviosuly missed doing this...

Ahhh, bit of a typo in the code when I copied it from er9x. Easy to fix, shouldn't cause any actual problems, just cosmetic.

Mike.

Can you give a quick description of how this works, then I can consider if I can implement it, thanks.

Mike.

Ersky9x r90 is now available. This includes voice. You need a SD card with the voice files on it. In the downloads section of the ersky9x code page is a zip file containing some voice files. Unzip it onto your SD card in a sub-directory called voice. Also in the zip file is a .csv file. This contain...

Just committed a new revision, includes a 5 blade option, needs testing!

Mike.

It's still the GNU GCC compiler, just I'm now using V4.7.0 instead of 4.3.3 that I was using. I'm using the windows version, but Erazz has the version for Linux.
