Where do you learn how to do this? I downloaded the files through raw files one at a time.
They compile ok in arduno. I put an SVN reader on my win xp but do not know if it is needed or how to use it.

Hey , I beleive this has been added; mine works, but I prefer the openxvario so have not tested it very much.

I have the same result with my openxvario but not with my wshh (winged shadow how high), is this something that can be changed? The voice follows (is the same as) the screen (number) readout. Sorry, I did not say which board, I am using stock board with m128 chip.

It says above that the sink tones were removed, so that is the change. I am having trouble setting up also, there are some instructions http://code.google.com/p/openxvario/. probably more some where else.

I can't see why the gimbals are bad for 6 bucks. They are used in the 9xr and seem to work at least as good as the old tx, as opposed to the buttons, which I had to replace.

Flew with both the openxvario with pot to change sensitivity and the WSHHigh, which has feet instead of meters. Both work well as far as I can tell. I am FAA limited to 400 feet (123 meters).

Yeah, I bought one set. I still need to reprogram it with the open software. It does not seem to offer much advantage over what we have been using.

Well it's not a total puppy, I crashed mine from 50 feet straight in on the nose fooling around with the failsafe. That nylon sure takes a beating! So far we burned out the motor and crashed again doing stunts to close to the ground. The openxvario variometer works well on this setup by the way. The...

Well the answer is to use advanced controls under config, which I just discovered. After using it, the switch back and forth between m64 and m128 worked as expected.
Now it's off to see the (config) wizard if I can find it.

I "lost" a model about 700 feet off the end of the runway. I could get a line on it with the standard 5 db antenna but could not locate it when I got close because it was not directional emough. We kept walking past the plane. I went to Fry's electronics store and bought a corner reflector...

Actually, that is what I did, I was just pointing out that it didn't work. It seems that there is no way to switch to the m2560 either. Here is the line from the program when trying to read the EEPROM; Started AVRDUDE C:/Program Files/companion9x/avrdude.exe -c usbasp -p m128 -P usb -U eeprom:r:C:/d...

Open source; the gift that keeps on giving. You guys are slightly awesome.

It seems that I cannot get my old m64 to work after programming my m128 in the new version 1.28 , in ver 1.27 there was a line in the screen 'configuration avrdude / sam-ba' that allowed the change to m128 or other cpu ; i.e. "mcu (not used for v4)" that is missing in ver 1.28, so the avrd...

Yeha! I read your advice and got the first one to work, there was nothing wrong with the board, it was the grounds I left off the avr connector. The second one works also, I had to reprogram it, it also had a bad connection to pin 12 (exit sw) which showed up after I reprogrammed the cpu. Thanks to ...

Thanks for the fast reply, I am slower than you are. I tried using the companion 9x and it is confusing at first, it sets the fuses to 3f 81 ff and the osc takes off running about 1.2v pp on scope, but no other change seems to have taken place. There is still no output from the cpu, no sound, no scr...

Has anyone run across this problem? I changed to an atmega128a and I can read and write flash and eeprom but the board has no output and osc seems to be stopped, the board worked before mod. There is no PPM. no sound and no screen output but the scope does show some output on ppm about 40 millivolts...

This is one of the most usful posts for those that break their Tx.

The SMD resistors in the pictures are 201 which is 200 ohms. 220 ohms is a standard replacement for 200 ohms

Please do not change the plug for the batteries. Use a three way plug as suggested. The reverse polarity protection is built in to the design of the plug. Always use a three position plug with the center positive, that way it does not matter if you reverse the plug.

chipquik is better to remove components

Sorry I could not help with fixing error, I was trying to get my eeprom settings working again, they kept having wrong numbers and trashing my settings so that even the telemetering settings went south (bad). I think I have it working again but do not trust it 100 % yet. Controls were going dead unt...

In regard to the stuck sticks, I thought I had it all working , but on one model only, when I looked at another model, it seemed to double up the stick to over 5000 on one side, I am getting mixed up with Openaero at the same time and will have to sort it out. You all Keep working, I am sure it will...

What happened to r2154? I downloaded it and companion9x 1.20 which gave me some errors because of asking for global vars. I got it working in the tx but not in the simulator, which still has offset error. Maybe two wrongs make a right since I loaded it several times. There appears to be an extra byt...

What we actually need is a way to tell if the right model is selected with frsky telemetering, which could also show if the right tx model was selected if the module used telemetering in the first place.

Looks like I did not give enough information. I am using open9x software and am not using my smartie parts board. I have the stock Tx board right now and have modified it for usbasp and telemetering.

Indeed there has been a kick of throttle as well as a kick to all the other channels in the latest software, I do not know how far back this (problem?) goes. My system with FR-Sky module and telemetering works well and I set the failsafe on the Rx. But when you switch the tx off it goes into failsaf...

Ok and thanks for the info. I have open9x-stock-frsky-templates-ppmca-potscroll-autoswitch-dblkeys-pgbar-imperial-en-r1452 as the options loaded and now I would like to know where the mode for the tx went to it seems to be missing from the bottom of the page 1 of 6 for the radio setup. It was the l...

I seem to be getting an output screen instead of a limit screen, I don't know why. but I can't set my inv without the limit screen. Any Ideas? You have PPMCA I think. As PPMCA takes some place on the screen, I reused the arrows column. So you only have to place the cursor on the arrow on the channe...
