9XR pin(s) help please

Post by midge5 »

Hi All, I am new to OpenRC and curently working on tracing the 9XR PCB to a schematic diagram but I have hit a little bit of a stubling block as I dont actually have the full 9XR, only the main PCB, I am about 98% of the way to completion but need to know where 2 wires are routed before I finish the diagram, I am hoping that someone currently working on their XR or someone that has the knowledge can tell me where pin 2 of J23 ends up (x2 Pin 15 of U6 - 4051 dmpx/mpx) and also pin 2 of J1 (X1 Pin 14 of U6 - 4051 dmpx/mpx) I can see through trawling many images that they are wire to breakout/distribution pcb's left and right of the 9XR below the gimbals but thats it, and on some but not all images I can see pin 2 of J23 isn't connected at all?

any help would be much appreciated in my efforts to complete my schematic once and for all.

Thankyou for reading - all the best - Midge5.

Nowhere! They are available for possible expansion reasons.
You should find R27 fitted and R73 not fitted. This routes the battery voltage sense to port F pin 7. If R73 is fitted and R27 is not fitted, then the analog multiplexor (U6) may be used to route these two signals to port F pin 7, as well as the battery voltage sense.
PC7, PC6 and PC0 control the multiplexor, although PC7 and PC6 are used for doing the FrSky telemetry mod.

The difficult we do immediately,
The impossible takes a little longer!

Thanks Mike once again, looking a little closer at the 4051 I can now see, late night & old age creeping up I guess. So theoretically could the 4051 could be ommitted too?
I will be using the FrSky telemetry mod evenually but there's a long way to go before this happens, its keeping me busy though which is the main thing ;-)
