OK, I have 2 knock off AR6100e Rx's here. I was able to bind the X10EMTX board to both of them and control all 6 channels. I don't have any other spektrum Rx's here to test other than my mcx2 and msr.

I also try the AR9000 RX with successful bind but nothing is working (THR-AIL-ELE-RUD).
I Check the SIG pin with Oscillator and I have 6 Ch working with sticks.
I don't have any other RX and I don't know how to check the final stage of the module if is working.

What does the LED on the receiver do during the bind process?

Pat MacKenzie

Flashing (quick). but it's also flashing and without the bind plug

Change your protocol to lp4/lp5... (that's in er9x , model setup menu, page 2)

is there a new manual?? apparently i just have the first version of the manual cuz i have read it and cant find the part of changing protocols to dsm2. pls refer me to the proper link or googlecode page, cuz im very interested.

thxs in advance
jose

Sure it's in the manual.

Model setup.
Protocol > ppm > ppx> lp4/lp5 dsm > dsm > dsm2/dsmx.


It'll be in the wiki today too.

Explore ER9X, that's the best way to learn.

Do you think Columbus waited for a map to get to this continent? Imagine if he did...

thxs . ill chk the wiki cuz. what the manual of er9x says is quoute:

10. Proto: encoding protocol 1.
PPM – with ppm you can choose how many channels to encode. Anything from 4 to 16
channels. You can also change the pulse spacing. This is useful for systems which might
experience jitter. On the whole it might be a good idea to leave it alone.
2. Other protocols include Silver A/B/C and TRAC09.

thats it!!
no mention of dsm protocol but ill admit i've been reading mora than playing (it should be the opposite )

Even what I have in the wiki I just did is from rev666 or 668, we're at 705? Or somthing. And i kniw it is slightly different. Same page, just on two lines now , instead of one.

cr8ative, im at the wiki page but the only manual i see is the revision 352 from june 5 2011.
link: http://er9x.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/do ... 0Guide.pdf

can you pls direct me to the updated wiki

thxs

edit: found the page of new changes on the wiki . i love the tutorial you made for the dsm mod
" Cr8ative Big thxs on my behalf and fellow members for all your help"

Wiki link beside faq on the top bar. Leads you to the new wiki.
I'm on tapatalk, a little limited to what i can do.

I will say it again Thxs for all your help, you and everyone involved in making this a great Tx
And dare i say it,helping me to Learn a little about electronics and perfecting my desoldering skills

No problemo. Its a group effort for all the wiki info, it's always a work in progress, and will always be added to. Thank Rob for starting this awesome forum where we can share everything we learn with each other.

Now buy a tshirt and support the community!

Is model match supposed to work with the LP4 modules? I had the wrong model selected and my mcx2 wouldn't respond. After changing models it started working. I then started it up with the right model and tried changing models. It immediately stopped responding and didn't again until I changed the model back.

I thought I remember reading that it was supported in the dx5 modules and such but not the LP's

Well paint me pink. It does work.
Will have to change the wiki.

I read somewhere it didn't work either... Poop on me.

It definitely does not work with my LP4 module, but that could be because mine is quite an old one.
It also goes into bind mode on every power on cycle, newer ones don't do that I think?

It is funny, because I had the idea that the second byte might be the model match, but it did not work when I tried it so I though I was wrong.
It took a post on RCG for me to revisit the idea with my DX4e module. It did work there so i added the function to the ER9X code.

So the right answer is that it might work or it might not, depending on the version of the firmware that is in your particular module.

Pat MacKenzie

I can confirm that the MLP4DSM module works great with the model match feature.

It appears to work on mine and doesn't go into bind mode at power on either so it must be that your's is an older or different model.

OK, I know this is subjective, affected by many factors, etc., but I would like to hear what people who have installed a LP module have actually experienced for reliable range with this setup. I have previously read generalities such as "should work fine for park fliers" or "farther than I can see orientation on my micro whizbang" and the such, but that doesn't mean anything to me. What I would like to get is some actual, conservative estimates of the range you have experienced with an LP module in outdoor flying with a "full range" receiver (not a brick), type of model flown, and so forth.

Thanx,

Ted

If I get some time tonight I will try and do a test with a knock off full range rx on the ground

That would be great info, thanx!

Ted

Just run the Transmitter in servo test mode, jump into the car/ or a bike with a servo, rx, battery and drive/cycle (reset odometer trip)... when the servos stop moving, your out of range.

You'll get an idea of how far easily.

Thats the plan

I understand all that, the situation is that i have not yet installed the mod. Still trying to decide on whether to go after an LP module (simpler install) or an HP module. I want to use it instead of my DX6i for some 50mm EDF models which I fly out to maybe 200 meters of so as well as some other types I fly closer in. Could I rely on an LP module for that?

Ted

I would go higher power for that range!

I only fly micro on the lp4 module. At most I would expect is 100m range. Any more is unlikely

Rob

I got roughly 190 meters with an ar6100e knock off. That was line of sight on the ground in a crowded neighborhood. You might get a little more in an open area in the air.

I was able to get a signal out to 240 meters but it was unreliable.

For anything above a micro model get the HP module.
LP should be used for indoors/close in flying only.

You can pick up a DX4e for $30 - $40 so it is not worth the risk using the LP module.

Pat MacKenzie

Much appreciated guys, thanx!

Ted

Hello,

does a high power mudules (like one from dx4e) reads the normal ppm signal or simple serial data?

DX4e module reads serial data. 2 byte header containing some setup data + 12 bytes containing the 6 channels.
Not sure how that would be best described as "simple"

Pat MacKenzie

Does it mean I could have a system with latency comparable to DX7?
