Yes. I have asked to borrow it tomorrow. When doing a bind does eR9x send a data string through the Tx module to the Rx. Could I have the RF but not the data? I noticed with the pxx protocol you need to give the Rx a address or unit number. just grabbing straws here. Thanks

Here's some photo's I hope.(1st time)

Yes, I tried that method. This method is if you want full telemetry. Method 2 - switch 1 off, switch 2 on - is if you want NO telemetry. I tried both. No bind on either.

Hi Guy's. Mike's comment about the Bind select in protocol works as he say's. The red LED flashes with a Green steady. Holding the f/s button on the Rx while connecting the Batt never results in a bind though. Also no LED flash on the Rx. If I change to the DJT module w/ V8FR-II Rx I get the same ex...

No Scope. Thanks for all your help Joao.

Yes, it happens with both Tx/Rx sets. I bought them as bundled combo's from Hobby King. Since both are behaving the same, I began suspecting that I have done something wrong in the conversion sequence of my FS-TH9X - Smartieparts eXtreme - Er9x. Yes I did the Module Bay Mod. It fits well and clicks ...

I have tried it both ways. Turn on Tx while holding f/s button on module. When steady green and flashing red - hold f/s button on Rx and apply power to Rx. Should see led on Rx Flash indicating Bind.

TomIngram1

No I know better than that. Yes the bars all move with the sticks and switches.

Also, the XJT has power and goes into bind mode (solid green, flashing red led's) but I can't get a response from the receivers.

TomIngram1

Still nothing. Both internal and external are set to on. D16, Pxx, RxNum = 1, Ame, 1st chan = 1

TomIngram1

OK. I purchased a XJT w/X8R receiver, and a DJT w/V8FR-II receiver. I cannot get either to bind. The Tx's appear to work per the instructions, But I get no led activity at all on the Rx's. Could I have missed a setup step somewhere to enable RF out? Did I miss a mod ? All of the eXtreme functions se...

Thanks guy's. The link to Mikes Telemetry mods doesn't appear to work, but the photo's on the wiki site show a different SmartiParts board than the one I have. I installed the 9eXtreme boards. Do I still need the same mods?

TomIngram1

I have 2 TH9X radios from Nitro Planes and have installed SmartieParts boards in both. loaded Er9x, works great. Did tutorials on YouTube and got models loaded and tested. Question is which Module and Rx should I get for best performance. My radio's have the original FS modules and are hard wired to...

Steven,
I got a friend to help out and we got the jumper in and working. No charge! Thanks to everyone for the help. Both radios are working fine now and the learning process begins on eepe9x.

THANKS AGAIN

Tom

I'm in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida.


Tom

Steven, Thanks for the Pic's they helped a lot! Found a small nick in the path just below and to the left of the battery holder. I tried to lay in a small jumper but it didn't last. I've been fighting cancer and the drugs they have me on make me shake to much for good soldering. After I put the jump...

Mike, The solder joints on R13 look good to me.


Tom

Solder joint appears to be good. I notice there is a plated thru hole just after R13. May be a bad barrel or broken internal path?

Tom

Mike,
I have continuity from pin 6 to R13 but the other side of R13 to pin 2 on the processor is open. The Pin 5 path is fine.


Tom

Thanks. No continuity on either of those pins. Also on my Tx the wires on J5-7,8,& 9 go to the Vert Trim Switch. They are White, grey, & violet.


Tom

Mike, Looking down on the board which end of J5 is pin 1? I assume the pin with the black dot beside it is pin 1 on the processor and you count counter clockwise around the chip?

Tom

Thanks guys. Back to radio #1. I took the little trims board out and checked everything from the switches all the way thru to the end connector, Everything works! The red and brown wires switch when the buttons are pushed but when I plug it back into J5 one side no longer works. I checked the solder...

Yes.

Tom

Thanks again Mike but I'm not going to get off so easy as a bad connection. Looks like a bad physical switch on the Trims PC Board under the left stick. After a lot of searching I found the replacement switch but had to buy 100 of them. Be in sometime in August so if anyone else has this problem I'l...

Thanks MikeB. It appears the left trim switch only works in one direction. Dissasembling now to see if wire is broken or switch is bad. Will let you know.


Tom

Yes. 9eXtreme 2ea. 1 in each radio


Tom

I bought a FLYSKY TH9X about a year ago and love it. I just bought a second one for a friend so we could fly together and ordered 2 SmartieParts Boards to upgrade them.We just completed the upgrades but there are problems. 1st, my original radio won't go into Bootloader Mode. Holding the hor trims t...
