9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
I don't know what to do anymore, maybe You can put me in the right direction.
After successfully installing 9Xtreme, I run in some problem.
(FW:V.3531-Mike ersky9x-r218)
Everything worked and I could switch to my Assan X8J Tx module.
So I started to play around with the different settings
Then with the FrSky DJT Tx module the servo's didn't react anymore.
I seem to have binding with the FrSky DJT Tx module and for example the FrSky D8R -XP and D8R-II Plus Rx modules.
But the servo's don't react, wich they did before without any problem.
As the Assan X8JTx stil worked, I thought that maybe the FrSky DJT module was faulty, and I ordered an other one.
But after installing, I have the same result, the servo's don't react, but Telemetry works.
Is there some parameter that could cause this, which I mistakenly could have changed ?
I hope You can give me some tips....
And another thing, is there already an updated version of the eePskye, there are some changes,
like in voice, no voice "numbers" but voice "names'
And what are "Default Model Version" in the eePskye Preferences ?
Thanks,
efbe

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
Release versions are at: http://www.er9x.com/.
Latest test versions are here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4676 (both ersky9x and eepskye).
With the DJT, try creating a new model, check the protocol is PPM and see if you get any servo response.

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
Can you please confirm again that your Assan module works? Try it again please. DO NOT CHANGE MODULES WHEN THE RADIO IS ON. Turn it off before you remove or insert an RF module.

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
You said "Everything worked and I could switch to my Assan X8J Tx module", does this mean the DJT did work at that time?
I assume the DJT worked OK before you upgraded to the 9Xtreme.

Yes

Yes, and also after the upgrade to 9xtreme.
I then started to bind different Rx's, and at some point I hat the servo problem.
Because the Assan still worked, I thought that maybe the DJT was faulty.
I ordered a new one, but the problem is still the same.
The binding seems OK, I have Telemetry (A1 internal).
If I disconnect battery on the Rx, I get the "No Telemetry Voice".
If I disconnect the white/black wires on the Tx, I get the "No Telemetry Voice".

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
You did trim the plastic around the pins in the radio's module compartment and do make sure the module is fully inserted, right?
Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
Yes,
The 2 DJT modules are trimmed, other wise the don't snap-in.

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
You trimmed the modules?
Normally we cut the plastic around th pins in the module bay.. It could be that your modules are still not making contact with all thr pins..
That is why I asked for the picture by the way..

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
+1. Trimming the module is not a proper solution.
Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
Trimmed, cutting ....just semantics.
I CUTTED the opening on the backside of the DJT modules.
They "snap" in the module bay.
But this can not be the issue, module A, worked before, both with SmartieParts 9x Programmer and the 9Xtreme.

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
What are the settings of the protocol menu when you use the Assan module, and what are your settings for the DJT?
Are both PPM?
Are you testing with the same model?
Are you testing with servos connected to the receivers, or flight controllers?
When you go to main screen that shows the channel outputs as bars, do they move when you move the sticks?

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
If we tell you that cutting the module isn't good enough it's because we know it's been a source of issues in the past. So please listen to the advice you ask for...
The shroud around the pins still doesn't leave enough length to ensure a reliable connection. Might work or not depending on pressure and how it's been wiggled.

It all indicates that there is a bad connection between the radio and the module..
As Kilrah said, the plastic around the pins might still be pushing the module's PCB upwards preventing the PPM pin (Pin 1) from connecting to the module.
I think you should remove that bit of plastic around the pins.
I don't understand why it did work before as you say, but if it did, and you were flying models with it, then I believe you had a time bomb in your hands that fortunately never exploded

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky Essential 9x Radio Module Bay Modification
Hi Fred,
You should remove the plastic from around the 5 pins in your 9x radio module bay.
It will help you a lot!
You will need to remove the green back PC board before doing this essential modification.
Should look like this when when completed. Bob B.

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
OK
I did that.
Still the same.
the only problem is that the conical tap helped to align the pins, is not so easy now to put in the module.
Now I took the PCB out of the case, put it in the bay, the pins are sticking out now like +_2mm.
Still the same.
I measured with a multimeter, al pins have contact.

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
This is very strange. To summarise where you are, if you plug the Assan module in, you can control servos, but if you plug either DJT in, using the same model slot and settings, you don't get any servo response. However, you do see the A1 telemetry value. Do you also see RSSI and TSSI values?
I'm going to ask a silly question, but the servos are plugged into the receiver correctly aren't they?
Mike.

Correct
For the RSSI and TSSI, I will comeback on that tomorrow.
(time here is 00.24 AM)
Yes, the servos are correctly connected.

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
OK, while you get no servo response, are the servos holding their centre position, or are they just not being driven?

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
Did your radio have any mod done on the PPM circuit before you installed the 9xtreme board?
Please post a good picture of your back board..
What you are describing makes no sense as it points to two broken DJT modules, which is hard to believe. But it would help if you had another radio where you could test them..

They seem not to be driven.
When I decenter them before connecting to the battery, they don't move at all.

Re: 9Xtreme, FrSky DJT, no servo output
It looks all good there..
The problem can't be the radio as it works with your assam module, with the same protocol settings, and same model loaded, right?
Can you please post a picture of how you are connecting things to the receiver(s)??
