Did you manage to find a small enough slider ? I'm also interested to add another POT/SLIDER somewhere on the left or right side of my 9x, so I can easier change the pitch of my gimbal. The sliders I found localy are so big, I think something like this one will be great , it's travel is 20mm http://...

I was thinking the same, as every time I charge the lipo , it never fill in more than 2500mah on a 4500 - 5000mah lipo.

I will try lowering my alarms to 3.5 to see how much the flight time increases and how fast it drops the voltage.

Sorry for not posting back, I also can confirm cvolt is working great now, I just flashed R788 and it beeps when one cell is lower than 3.6 and when volt divider is lower than 14.3 (alarm Orange) and 14.1v (alarm Red) What do you think, 14.3v is ok for the first alarm ? Do you guys fly more (set the...

If you build new firmwares I can try them to let you know if the bug is fixed.

Yes , I'm using 4S lipo, I will try some different resistors to achive a different ratio for the volt divider.

I have upgraded to the latest firmware, I did found the Ctot option and many more, but on the Cvlt it acts the same, the alarm is active if i set it at 3.5v, but if I lower it at 2.00 it stops (at 2.1 it still active) I made a voltage divider with some resistors I found around (I think R1 3k3 and R2...

Thank you Kilrah, I enabled now the beeper mode, but have an issue with the alarm as it is continously activated, you can see a screenshot of my settings. The alarm is ringing even if there is no cel with a lower voltage than 3.5v I could not find in the WIKI what |v|>offset and |v|<offset mean , an...

Thank you, I just checked the custom switches and made on SW4 the following condition: SW4 v<ofs Cvlt 3.50v (i couldn't find Ctot, maybe because I have an older version of er9x? bellow are the details of the firmware) er9x-r762 VERS: V1.5650-erez It took me a little bit to find how to trigger the al...

I have some questions regarding alarms setup on my Turnigy 9x .

I connected the lipo monitor from FrSky FLVS-01 and it shows the values of every cell on my 9x screen, but how can I set the alarm using only this sensor ?

Do I still need to plug in a voltage divider in A1 ?

Thank you.

Thank you guys, I just found out for what is THs and TH%. Now I'll have always the timer runing when the motors spin.

Hello guys, I was wondering if with er9x I have the option to start the timer when the throttle stick is above a defined level, I don't know why but I almost always forget to flip the switch to start the timer :( I have a lipo alarm mounted on my lipo, so that will remind me if I fly too much, but t...

Very nice mod, i just searched on ebay and it seems there are 3 types of PSP joysticks, are you guys using PSP1000 joystick?

so I can easily stay untill I see 9.0 v on my screen. Thank you for details.

Hello guys, I have moded the 9x with smartieparts board, TTL convertor, FrSky DIY transmitter, changed one pot to have 6 fixed steps (for ardupilot MODE selector) and also added a LiFe 1500mah battery, but don;t really know when the voltage is to low, I never waited until the 9x beeps and charged th...

Mike, Crucial, thank you for the DIY guides .. I'll do them later today as it seems is very very easy. Now I'm struggling to make the MinimOSD to connect to APM2 telemetry port, it's been a few hours , and the second time I try to make it work but no luck .. always getting the "Waiting for Mavl...

Thank you crucial, this is very cheap and I don't think it worths the time to make it myself, I'll have to see what are the fees for international shipping. I don;t realy know if it helps that much to see the voltage of every cell because I think anyways the cells are discharging almost equaly, it's...

Than I should wait, I don;t really want to start all over again using a new firmware althrough it seems the way you enter in a menu is similar to er9x. Now more important to me is to get the lipo curent on my display, and set some alarms for it. Don;t know yet how to do it and if I need the voltage ...

I have the DIY internal module. When I bought the smartiebarts and TTL convertor, and FrSky DIY module I used your PDF guide as a shopping list :) I don't know, maybe only I was confused, but now when I tried to modify the 9x I didn't really understood where to solder the two wires from the TTL. Now...

I opened now the 9x again to remove the wires from mainboard, and solder a servo conector on the TTL convertor, I will use than a servo wire to connect the Sparkfun TTL convertor to the DHT transmiter. But what about the pins on the mainboard, on your guide, in step 1 you have marked with a green ar...

Thank you Rob. I was talking about the PIN6 and PIN7 in your guyde, which I connected near the CPU , on the line of the two resistors I removed. I will attach a photo so you can see where I connected the wires. Now when I long press the down button I get the message NO DATA. I'm with the ardupilot c...

I think I got it, on the chip side, where I removed the two resistors. Soldering now and will post a photo back

I get a forbidden error when I try to upload two attachments, I don't know why :( Hmm it seems it doesn't allow me to add a second message with a jpg attachment, I'm getting this error : Forbidden You don't have permission to access /forum/posting.php on this server.

I started yesterday to mod my 9x using smartiepart board and Rob Thomson guide , but i couldn't find where I should wire the RS-OUT and RS-IN

Thank you. Yeah, I read it but it seems I missed a few words "through full range". I redid the calibration and everything is ok now, in the mean time I also modified the splashscreen, the procedure to not loose any configurations already made on the TX is this ? 1. Read firmware from TX 2....

Just installed the new FrSky telemetry transmiter and the smartie parts board, I still have to install the TTL convertor to see the telemetry data on the screen but I don't have the resistors and I'm a little afraid to solder on the small chip :) I asembled it untill tomorrow to see what how the fir...

here are some buddy codes from me :) Find my codes here: http://hk.rc-international.info/swarm/ovisopa ( valid until April 03, 2012 ) Turnigy nano-tech 6000mah 4S 25~50C Lipo Pack Save US$: 14.26 http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/catalog/n6000.4s.25-thumb.jpg TL-242 Thread Locker and Sealant ...

I just opened the case, did the swap of the spring and tensioner (very easy to do and btw. the tutorial on ifixit was wrong in the step 4, I think it's impossible to remove the metal pin without breaking the plastic mount, I belive it's glued in, I pressed really hard on it and didn't moved at all ....

So if you hold down Menu for about 1-2 seconds .... it does nothing? it should bring up a different screen with a spanner ICON for settings and another one (can't remember what that one was at this time) Correct, if I press or long press the menu button, nothing changes on the screen, I see the def...

Yes I'm using the stock firmware, I already tried long pressing the buttons, no action :( Even if they ware slow, I belive it might have a delay of a second or so, but in my case nothing happens after pressing the buttons. I think I will open it up to check the buttons but this for sure it will void...

Sorry for being confusing in my previous message. No, the menu is not blank, but when I press the buttons nothing is changing on the screen. I attached a photo.

Hello to everyone, I'm new to this RC hobby, today I received the radio and in the beggining I though everything is ok, the first thing I did was to connect it to my PC using audio 3,5 jack to play with it in FMS, this was very easy (it was much harder to keep the multicopter hovering more than a fe...
