Hi all,
I'm not sure if this was covered here or not I did a search and didn't see anything but I could have missed it.
I have a TH9X and went ahead and cut the traces and rerouted the traces to the pins on the atmega128 chip.
I soldered the additional wires on to flash to ER9X as well.
I am still waiting for my DHT module that should be here in another day or 2 so I didn't wire it yet.
I put it back together using only 2 screws to flash it to ER9X and when it powered up I got an intermittent beep and " Switch Error " on the display.
All switches were in the correct position.
Needless to say, I thought it was something I did I removed the jumpers to the pins on the ATMEGA128 chip and connected them back to the original traces and when I powered the TH9X no more switch error!
I thought because the DHT module wasn't installed yet that was the issue but I have found somewhere in my search on the internet that its caused by the original firmware sensing the open in the 2 cut circuits which set the switch error.
After rewiring the 2 traces to OEM I flashed it to ER9X and will solder the circuits back to the ATEMAGA chip.
I did use a servo connector to do the bypass to flash to ER9X so I just have to add a male servo connector coming from the 2 chip circuits.
I hope this helps someone else down the road.
"Switch Error" - I guess I should have flashed to ER9X before cutting traces
Re: "Switch Error" - I guess I should have flashed to ER9X before cutting traces
No, that won't help anyone down the road
1- Make sure you flashed Er9x for m128
2- Please enable the hardware menu by powering the radio ON while holding the LEFT Horizontal trim to the left for a second or so. then release it. This enables the Hardware menu.
3- No go to Radio Setup /Hardware. Scroll down to an option called " Frsky Mod Done" and enable it.
Now your switches will be recognized, and all should be working as it is supposed to..

EDIT: Without moving the switches to the other pins, you won't be able to receive the telemetry from the DJT.

Re: "Switch Error" - I guess I should have flashed to ER9X before cutting traces
Thank you for the response jhsa
I am resoldering the circuits back again tonight after I know if I flashed it with the correct file.
I flashed it using ER9X m128-Standard should I have used something else maybe just the plain ER9X m128?

Please go to www.er9x.com and click on "er9x for Mega128 processor"... There is only One file for the m128, apart from the one in German language.

Re: "Switch Error" - I guess I should have flashed to ER9X before cutting traces
OK thanks I have the right one I'm flashing 2 radios with a m128 chip.
I also have a 3rd TH9X with atmega64 chip I though you couldn't do telemetry on it?

Yes, you can have telemetry on the m64 radio the same way you have it on the m128..

OK I loaded the ER9X file for m128 but its French lol.
Then I tried another and it was not English either.

Not the one I pointed to you.. This one is English.
Actually, the only French file i see there is for the m64
