Hi Mike
I contacted S-Mack he was very helpful and supplied a new board
I tested it outside the TX and the original board proved to be faulty

All working fine now
thanks for the help
Hans

thanks Mike
great tip
it seems a simpler template than the one supplied with ER9X

Hans

mike Thanks for the reply I have cleaned the pads and the pins I 'll look closely at the wire connections between the mini usb and the SP board By the way the error message I get also occurs when the tx is not connected - so the problem is not in the PC but at the TX end I will ask SP people if they...

Mike
Cleaned SP board but still cant find Usbasp

is there a way of checking output from SP board?
Hans

Mike
I have tried the TX on a MAC using Companion and I get exactly the same error message so it must be the TX
I will take out SP board and clean it
regards
Hans

Mike

I assume I should run installer x86
This seems to just flash without providing evidence its working
is this the root of the problem preventing installation into the windows drivers folder?

mike
Tried another cable same prblem
The tx is working fine so SP board must be getting power

Mike
I have the latest Smartieparts board
I will try a different cable

Hi guys

I have a simple question

I have installed ER9X on my Turnigy 9X with Smartieparts board using Eepee on a PC - its working fine, great result

Can I now use a MAC OSX and Companion 9X to look into the EPROM on the TX and make revisions to models etc ?

thanks
Hans

Mike
Thanks for the quick reply. I followed your instructions and the problems solved.
There are a few items in the firmware that aren't in the ER9X manual - do you think there will be an update soon?
thanks again
Hans

Hi Guys

Really pleased with ER9x on Turnigy 9X

One question - when calibrating, the aileron and elevator screen displays move in the opposite direction to the sticks

is this normal and do I need to correct it?

regards
Hans

mike

all working fine now

Hans

I see this has happened before
I'll try cleaning the pads tomorrow
looking forward to getting into er9x
