Hi all, I'm new to the form and new to quadcopters

I have a 9x transmitter with a fr sky djt telemetry module and a fr sky D8R ii pro receiver.
If I fit the smartieparts programmer and the telemetrEZ board and flash the tx with er9x firmware will I get telemetry readings back to the transmitter.
If so which telemetry readings will be seen?
Did I also read somewhere that the receiver will need flashing.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I've done loads of searching but haven't found the exact answers

Yeah, you have it basically right. Rather than just basic er9x firmware though, you will have to make sure to get the ER9X-Frsky variant otherwise no telemetry and TelemetrEZ will just cause switch errors to be reported. With the correct variant though, you'll be good to go.

I don't think the rx needs flashing but I'll leave others to comment in case I missed something along the way.

As far as what telemetry readings will be seen... I have to leave that up to your research and others' answers. I do know you will get signal strength and receiver battery levels. For more than that, I believe at lease some modification and/or additional sensors are required. Despite the fact that I created the TelemetrEZ product, I actually know very little about its practical use. Right around the time I developed it, my wife also gave birth to our son. And since then, I really haven't done much in this hobby at all (in fact I have about $5k worth of stuff in my basement I have to figure if I'm selling or if its just waiting for me to get back to it!).

Pretty much all the telemetry from whatever (FrSky) sensors you fit!

Mike.

Thanks for the replies.
