Just a quick inquiry...the audio portion for voice featured in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=948 is in corporates on this board, correct? If so, awesome. Ordering my DJT module soon as I won't be getting a new TX anytime soon...this new board revision would be a great addition with integrated telemetry...

Absolutely! here are 2 ERSKY9X board telemetry/ voice demo: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1295

Will the USB port on the version 3.0 board allow for directly programming the firmware under companion9x?

[Kilrah]

It already does on the current version

[GTiDon]

Any updates?

Real close. Beta works great, boards I understand are ready for population. Does everything promised.
In fact both sky board versions work great. Anyone owning either v2 or 3 release versions will be happy.

I'm picking up the Rev 3 boards in the morning , though I got some bad news ... that I'm not getting
as many as I thought I would get...they usually run more than I order , so I ordered counting on the extras....
but someone screwed up putting on the solder mask.
So now I can build just over 100 .... which by the size of the pre-order list are all spoken for.
I was hoping to have some boards left over for stock.....

I hope the pick and place machine is nice to me tomorrow ...if so .. I will start shipping boards next week

[kone]

so, does it mean you can make people who pre-ordered happy?

[SkyNorth]

I hope to fill all the orders , It also depends on the yield ... some boards do not work , I had 5 bad ones last time
that I could not get working after spending many hours looking for shorts..

[Kilrah]

You can remove me from the list and make another guy happy!

[kone]

let's keep our fingers crossed!

YOU are eyeing the X12

[Kilrah]

I think the X9 will be more my type...

[sokolum]

I pre-ordered but never got a confirmation yet, or information to do a payment, like to do a 10% first payment or such.

But if this all is not needed, then i will wait quietly )

Love your work!

[Scott Page]

I'd asked for two, would be happy with one if there is another that would like to get in on this fun.

[SkyNorth]

If the demand is there , then I will run more boards ...I need to get this batch shipping , then I will have a better Idea
where things stand , and how much demand there will be for more.

Thanks
Brent

[Clivew]

I await your invoice Brent!

Thanks,

Clive

I don't have a 9x anymore, but i'm working on another project and i was wondering what the overall board dimensions are of this assembled?

[Reacher10]

Brent, I'll
take one. Either one from the current batch or from the next batch so put me down for one.

[SkyNorth]

The board dimensions are 6.68" x 2.21"

Ok, Rick , I'll put you on the list

-Brent

[jbbak]

Am i on the list? My name is John Baker

[SkyNorth]

Here it is ... SKY9x 3.0

I've got lots of testing and programing and Invoice/shipping to do.

Drooling!

I don't see any 'jacks' on it. The 2.5 /3.5 mm stereo jack is yet to be placed or it is going to be a 'plug in' and placed any where the user decide?

Obviously there is no chance for wheel encoder to be soldered on the board with pins with that b/u batt holder. You have mentioned before there is a separate board for the wheel encoder. I guess it is going to be 'plugged' in at some I/O connector??

[ShowMaster]

Yes the audio jack is a plugin to a header and can be mounted anywhere.

[sokolum]

Good news! V3.0 ready to be shipped
Very nice done and congratulations!

Just send me the invoice

Greetings from The Netherlands.


edit: i don't understand the upgrade for 'Switching Regulator'. What is by default the voltage the board can work with? Now i am using LiFe 3s, that is 9.9V. I need to upgrade to use my Life accu pack?

[GTiDon]

What is the difference with the upgraded LCD?

[kone]

according to Brent the brightness and contrast is supposed to be better than the stock ones...
