I also have a 9xr flashed with 128-standard, but that version seems to be very old from 2013, while others are more recent? any idea why ?

thanks for the reply, DIY on SMD,, i need to skip this mod i guess...

is Megasound the only board we can use? or there are any other ? i cant find a megasound anywhere ...

Latest er9x (r809) includes "sticky throttle" on a safety switch. Change the "type" of the safety switch to 'X' from 'S' and you get "sticky" operation. Mike. Hi Mike, i will check it out when i get a chance, as am using er9x-128-standard(r804 i guess) now. Last night ...

thanks, thats exactly what i want !!

Hi Guys,
I need to setup throttle hold, but not just a simple throttle hold switch which is easier. I need switch where when turned ON should HOLD the throttle signal, but when turned OFF its should release the HOLD only when the throttle stick is low position. Any ideas ?

And as always ,, Thank you all for helping me !!!!

guys, just an update, got the new usbisp, everything works fine

When you ran this "avrdude -p m64 -P usb -c usbasp" Did you try is also as "sudo avrdude -p m64 -P usb -c usbasp"? I ask because I get that exact error if udev isn't set up to allow me access to the device. But running as root fixes it. -Gohst yes i tried that too, trying that a...

the first link is the same unit you already ordered and that I have. If you look at the pic you will see the micro controller at a 45 degreee angle . If you read deeper into the description it mentions "Here is a neat project detailing how to convert this board to a small, low-cost demo board....

well how far do you get with avrdude ? If the problem is on the usb side, well that's bad. but if the issue is on the spi side, avrdude has some configuration setting for that. http://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/user-manual/avrdude_12.html#Programmer-Definitions so the test would be, after plugging in y...

Ok. So it aint what he referenced. Whether or not it is a usbasp is up for debate. The part about 'other software may not work' is what I am talking about. Can you flash the firmware with their software? yes with their software, i was able to flash .hex firmwares from er9x at it works .. but only t...

Yea my quote cut off the end of it. Go back to romulians original message. This doesnt have any bearing on your problem, unless you have that piece of hardware. You got a usbasp, right? i guess so, i bought this http://www.ebay.com/itm/300697762249?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l...

I think someone has changed the name in the fw I bought them one year ago or about.... and they were recognized as usbasp, if they changed the name in the fw, due to the fact usbasp uses a shared id it will not be recognized Usbasp uses the vid/pid which he has shown. It is fine. When avrdude doesn...

I don't think they are locked as I have several.. When I speak of chinese usbasp units being locked I am speaking of the lock bits on the avr mega8. This prevent me from being able to backup the installed firmware. It does not keep me from overwriting this software with the standard usbasp firmware...

When you do an 'lsusb' take note of the device and product IDs. For a usbasp they should be 16C0:05DC. I wonder are these easy to reflash, maybe the real usbasp firmware could be loaded onto them? -Gohst here is my lsusb results ... merin@merin-M15x:~$ sudo lsusb [sudo] password for merin: Bus 001 ...
