FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
Hi, my FS-TH9X doesn't turn on after ER9x flash. I had the new ER9x firmware installed and it was fine but I wanted to add S-FHSS protocol (I wasn't sure if I already had the installed) so I found something from an old thread on the forum and flashed it and now it won't power on
few important things:
1. It powers on with the AVR USB still connected but not with the battery
2. I flashed it with the switch ON by mistake (hope it didn't harm the firmware)
3. I tried using "Set fuses to protect EEPROM" but it didn't solve it
4. I re-installed the last ER9X version and it didn't solve it also
I really hope someone knows how to fix it and can share his experience
Thanks,
Eran

Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
What processor do you have (64/128/2561)?
What file (exactly) did you flash?

Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
I think it's a 64 but I can't know for sure until you tell me how to check it. Once, I was foolish enough to try and flash the er9x-128.hex and it crushed leaving me with a turned-off screen. I fixed it by flashing the latest er9x.hex file.
This time I flashed the er9x.hex which I extracted from this folder: er9xProv822k

Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
You would then need to open up the case and read the top of the chip.
Sounds like you may have a 64 then.
Go here for your download: (http://www.er9x.com/).
May be one of these unless you have other mods done:
er9x standard (right click and select 'save as')
or
er9x for M64-FrSky (right click and select 'save as')

Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
The standard version is the one I originally flashed and it worked fine but now after my bad flashing experience it doesn't repair the on/off switch problem, I can only turn the transmitter on by connecting the AVR USB
Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
And that means the processor is working, but you have another hardware problem there. probably a blown trace somewhere, a blown voltage regulator, or both. Please open the radio, and take a good resolution picture of the mainboard. Post it here.
Also, ever power the radio from the programmer and the battery at the same time.

Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
Hi João,
As it turned out, the actions I did yesterday night (flashing the standard mod and "Set fuses to protect EEPROM" did solve the problem, I guess I was too tired to notice it
Anyway, the main purpose which had led to this problem was my trial to add the S-FHSS protocol, can you tell me how to do it the right way?
I added a picture of my main chip if it helps
Thanks!!!

Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
So, all is working again then?
I am not sure that protocol is supported by er9x? At least I don't seem to have it on my Er9x radio, but perhaps my radio doesn't have the latest version installed..

Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
Actually I fixed it using some data I read on some old threads of you and Mike you guys are great.
It's too bad that the er9x doesn't support it, I wanted to buy a BNF micro heli for some practicing on my lawn but now I have to buy it including it's TX which makes it expensive

Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
Wait to see what Mike says.. I don't really know if it is supported but I think Mike said once that he still couldn't implement it because he doesn't have any TX or receiver using that protocol

Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
Ahh OK, let's wait for Mike respond
Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
I think he's talking of using a multiprotocol module to talk S-FHSS, but the only way to be sure is for him to actually give enough detail.
Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
The XK K110 helicopter I wanted to purchase Uses 2.4GHZ FUTABA S-FHSS communication agreement (I copied and pasted the description, hope you understand it better than I do)
Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
Yes, and how were you expecting to control it? You need a transmitter module that can talk S-FHSS in your radio for that.
Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
I guess that's showing my level of understanding
Good thing is, I still have the time and capacity to learn new stuff

Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
AHHHHH, I think you need the multiprotocol module, as Kilrah suggested.. I didn't recognize the protocol, I thought you wanted to use the original RF module that comes with the radio..
Do you already buy the multiprotocol module?

Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
I'm just hearing about this module for the first time, I was recently back to the hobby after few years of break I guess it was born somewhere in this time. Can you share a link or a picture of this module?
Re: FS-TH9X doesn'tturn on after ER9x flash
Thanks Kilrah, this module will allow me to operate the XK K110 helicopter with my transmitter?
