Re: RF Module Soft Power Switch for AR9x, Skyboard, 9XR-PRO
Last version of single internal rf module switch. rf_int_module_switch.jpg Currently using attiny25, maybe attiny85 is better (more ram). Code itself will fit both. The initial bugs of RF_Module_Power_Switch_Attiny85_Code_ver2.ino software also fixed. Atleast in a test bench everything was working. ...

Re: RF Module Soft Power Switch for AR9x, Skyboard, 9XR-PRO
May I ask what is the problem with the original code? :) João Sent from my thor using Tapatalk Probably nothing :) I just liked the Mike's idea to use pin change interrupt. Currently i'm not even sure that pcint version is correctly working. Need to test it a lot before I dare to use it with real f...

Re: RF Module Soft Power Switch for AR9x, Skyboard, 9XR-PRO
OK, the resistor is replaced and I also installed recommended (when Vin more than 9V) electrolytic capacitor between GND and BAT+ near to regulator pins. Made new software version using pin change interrupts. The software is currently untested (don't use it with real flying models). RF_Module_Power_...

Re: RF Module Soft Power Switch for AR9x, Skyboard, 9XR-PRO
The mosfet pulldown is there.
But if the correct value is important then i'll find tomorrow 470kohm and replace it.
You're right, i didnt had 470k so i replaced it with 100k But if the correct value is important then i'll find tomorrow 470kohm and replace it.

Re: RF Module Soft Power Switch for AR9x, Skyboard, 9XR-PRO
I'm using Turnigy 1500mAH LiFe 3S 9.9v Transmitter Pack. Nominal voltage 9.9v, fully charged 10.x something, so it should be in safe range. The regulator is a small step-up/step-down converter S7V7F5. It has very nice wide input voltage range. I havent yet programmed the chip but I'll post the resul...

Re: RF Module Soft Power Switch for AR9x, Skyboard, 9XR-PRO
Made it just for internal module. Ext module can be removed physically.
I havent tested yet, hopefully it will work.
GND is controlled by the mosfet.I havent tested yet, hopefully it will work.

Re: RF Module Soft Power Switch for AR9x, Skyboard, 9XR-PRO
You can use an N Channel Mosfet. it doesn't need the transistor then, just connect it to the Attiny via the resistor. Something like this. The mosfet in this case has a few advantages over the transistor. For example, less resistance when ON, and therefore less dissipated heat so it can handle more...

Re: RF Module Soft Power Switch for AR9x, Skyboard, 9XR-PRO
I'd like to build similar circuit using veroboard and dip components. I was wondering if this circuit switching part (trans+irf) can be made simpler. For example just using one npn transistor 2N2222A (ofcoz the circuit has to be simplified and redesigned a little). Does anybody know what is the powe...
