How to use 10-12 channel with Orange module 

Post by skyblue »

I used the Orange module in my 9XR pro and 9XR but just can use 1-9 channel.
How to setup the protocol ? I use PPM 12CH but it can't work.
When I used the same receiver with Spectrum DX18,all channels work.

Is this the 'ordinary' Orange module, not the one that uses the internal antenna?
If you increased the number of channels to 12 with PPM, did you also increase the frame length to around 30mS?

Hi Mike,
Yes,it is a 'ordinary' Orange module.
I use frame length 22mS because the user manual show output protocol DSM2 22mS/11mS ,DSMX 22mS/11mS.
Should I increase the frame length to around 30mS ?
I will try 30mS later.Thanks.

Each channel in a PPM stream may be 2.012mS wide (no extended limits). With 12 channels, this is 24.144mS. Yo then need a 'sync.' pulse, typically at least 4.5mS, so the frame length should be at least 28.644mS.

I believe some versions of the Orange module simply didn't support more than 9 channels.

Hi Kilrah,
In manual it said support 6-12channel.
module:http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... 272X50.pdf
show that
Connector P1 Pin description:
PIN1- PPM signal, TTL 5V, 6-12 channels
So I think the module support 12 channels.
