Stick gain not working on Sky9x with Aurora sticks

Post by hpihl »

Hello,
There is no difference on stick resolution with Aurora sticks if the gain is set 1 or 2. I got around 520 steps (as example A1 in hex: 0317 to 0520) for full stick movement at both gain settings. Ersky9x gives about 1040 steps with same hardware.

System info:
ersky9x rev.B (prototype series)
Aurora sticks
r2688

Probably won't until you report on the official issues list - things often get overlooked or forgotten about if they're not there.

Hi,

i've found a way for the gimbals gain to work on OpenTx but i have no idea of the risks of using that.

The modification is on the comment of the transfered issue on github:
https://github.com/opentx/opentx/issues/155

If anyone can help on explaining those ADC mode register settings i would be glad to learn more.

I got a message today that the next minot release will contain the fix, apparently your fix. Thanks Captain!

Ok, the r2923 gives now about 1030 step resolution with stick gain value 2. The servo movement is signifiqantly smoother when moving the stick slowly now. Takes me back to openx bandwagon altough ersky9x seems to be getting better all the time for the sky9x board.
