9XR OpenTX and Trainer Port

Post by PeterV »

Does the 9XR only run in Trainer Master mode if the 9XR was powered up by the JR Trainer Port?
And if so, does that mean the PPM direction is then IN? Or OUT? I assume it would be IN, to accept the Slave's signals.

As far as I can see you don't get to decide that in any OpenTX settings, so I assume it is that Power On method that triggers that.

So to use a Head-Tracker you would need to use the Main Switch Power On manner before plugging in the Trainer Port plug I guess?

Then..... what goes on with the Futaba Trainer Port.....
Do they use a separate PPM IN and PPM OUT Port? Does OpenTX control that in any manner? eg Like the JR Port 'auto' direction switching.

ON=IN, OFF=OUT.
Not sure for the Futaba port, I think I remember that at some point it was mentioned it was input only.
