I started some schematics and routing around for the power switch circuit yesterday evening. I'm trying to create a board which replaces the current module backplane. What do you think, should we make the signal line switchable too? Just in case...

The question is how many modules shall be supported. 2 Modules of course is simple. Up to 4 modules is simple as well, but we have to decide if we'd like to support that, since it needs an additional IO line. Personally, I'd prefer to have DSM2 and FrSky internally and the possibility of using an ex...

Ok, let's put away the RF part for the moment. What would be the best way for switching of supply voltage? I still assume that using 2 Bits to control up to 4 modules should be the best way? The Modules can't be switched directly by the CPU, so an external circuit is needed anyway. @Rob, since you a...

Hmm... and 20% signal loss is really too much... :/ Why not switch the power to the modules, granted you will have more antennas. The multiple Antennas are the point ;) - meanwhile I found some ICs with are very easy to use and have an insertion loss of abou 0.3 dB - which would be acceptable if 2 i...

I propose we should implement 3 internal modules and support the external Module as well, which means we need 2 ports for switching power supply between 4 TX-units and activate 1 of 3 internal HF paths?

Great. I'll order the relays next week and will try to do some HF-VooDoo ;) Unfortunately, these relays are only available for 2 paths. What do you think, shall we try to implement 3-way-hardware? I'm a bit afraid of too much signal loss. The datasheet says about 0.5dB, so with 2 relays (for 3 input...

Hi, since I've got 2 TX-Modules in my T9X (FrSky and Spektrum internally, and I'm sure I'm not the only one ;) ) I was just asking myself, if it would be possible to switch on/off these TX-Modules in Code depending on the selected Protocol. I'm aware of the fact that we need additional components si...

That complete chat system is as expensive as useless, sorry. I really regret that I can't say anything positve on that - your money has been wasted.

Chat would be great. Pleae use something Irc based. Webinterface can be done using Mibbit.
