9XR Pro probs
Hi all
Got a 9XR Pro which is currently playing up, in that 2 of the trim adjusters have stopped working, the lhs horizontal and the rhs vertical.I can however get to the hidden menus using the 2 horizontal trims and one of the gimbals will not hold its calibration setting.
I have stripped the box down, cleaned all the movement pads on the trimmers, plugs, sockets etc all to no avail, think the motherboard is kaput, I have reflashed the piece but no different.
So any suggestions greatfully received or has anyone out there got a spare m/board they are prepared to sell me?

Re: 9XR Pro probs
does this also happen with a fresh created new model?

Re: 9XR Pro probs
For the stick problem. make sure the body of the pot is not moving. That would explain the stick losing the calibration. if it is moving, apply some glue to it. Hot glue for example, and check it again by calibrating it.
For the trims, you could have some bad trim switches that need replacing. Please go to the "Radio Setup DiagSwtch" menu, press the trims and see if the corresponding field changes from 0 to 1 when pressed

Re: 9XR Pro probs
yes, diag switch, pressing trims changes from 0 to 1 on all trims
Re: 9XR Pro probs
then you will have to check your model programming as the trim switches themselves seem to be working well..
Please download your radio's eeprom onto eepskye, put it inside a zip file and post it here..

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Ok, with a spray of switch cleaner and some exercise of the gimball, it now appears to be working ok, and, there is no movement of the associated pots.
Ref the eeprom file, in control panel I am not getting any indication that libsub has been found, I am using the latest eesky driver and usbasp software I realise the laptop is not talking to the 9xr pro, but am getting the message tx disk not mounted -- suggestions please?

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Plug in the USB, then power the 'PRO on. You should be in the bootloader and the screen showing "Connecting.."
You should now see two hard drives appear on the PC. You do not need linusb for this, and a usbasp device is not used either.

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Nope doing that just goes straight to the active model and looking at the active drives nothing is showing there either - think I have had similar probs when I got the first 'Pro and eventually I reprog'd the system by loading to the micro sd directly in my laptop!

Re: 9XR Pro probs

Re: 9XR Pro probs
What revision is the bootloader?
Does the PC give the "USB device connected" tones?

Re: 9XR Pro probs

Then use eepskye to download your radio's eeprom, save it to your PC, zip it, and post it here.

Re: 9XR Pro probs
where do I find the bootloader?
Re: 9XR Pro probs
The bootloader is part of the firmware file you downloaded. So just place it on the SD Card inside the "firmware" folder. Then start the radio in maintenance mode (horizontal trims held apart) and select "flash bootloader". Select the firmware file and flash it. When completed, reboot the radio..

Re: 9XR Pro probs
ok now got the eeprom on my pc, 512mb, suggestions for a zip software, I am running win 10!
Re: 9XR Pro probs
None, it's built in. Right click, send to, compressed folder.
Re: 9XR Pro probs
Bootloader is version 2.9 on the latest test version of ErSky9x. 2.6 is already old.

Re: 9XR Pro probs
ok so the eeprom file is in the firmware folder on the sd card and a compressed file on the desktop, how do I transfer folder to the quick reply box as I have tried copying it and also dragging it all to no avail!
Bootloader 2.6 is part of the ERSKY 9x revision 221 download for xr pro - where would the later one be ? in the test version area?

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Well looking at your model called "BLOODAXE", the left horizontal and right vertical trims won't work simply because you are not using the left horizontal stick and the right horizontal stick.stotty1111 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 2:09 pm Hi all
Got a 9XR Pro which is currently playing up, in that 2 of the trim adjusters have stopped working, the lhs horizontal and the rhs vertical.
On your second model, the right vertical trim will not work for the same reason.
In mode 2 configuration, which is what you have, the sticks are:
Left Horizontal (Rud)
Left Vertical (Thr)
Right Horizontal (Ail)
Right Vertical (Ele)
If you don't use them as source to a mix in the mixer menu, the corresponding trims will not do anything.

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Ok guys, thanks for the assistance , I'll go and stand in the corner wearing a pointy hat with STUPID written on it.
I bought the tx last summer and set it up after flashing ,to control Bloodaxe, a vintage Classe M/Marblehead yacht without problem.
When I came to sort out the controls of the yacht I had a blank screen problem, main on/off switch cured by switch cleaner, reassembled, worked ok.Came to prog model 2 and the problem 'arrived'. I thought the flashing would have reset the tx to basic with no programming mounted as with the 9x/xr flashes!
Doh lifes a long learning curve as today has proved, both with the win 10 on the laptop and also the reflashing and other'stuff' with the tx.
Again which download on ER9X would give me the latest bootloader program?, one of the development files? if so which?
Again, thanks Mike, Joao, Rest, and Kilrah
