Re: Receiver numbers when when two modules used.

There are separate but setting one automatically sets the other to the same number, at least in OpenTx 2.0.15. I've never been able to set them to different numbers in the transmitter. You can set them to unique numbers in Companion.

Receiver numbers when two modules used.

I built a camera module that can be moved from plane to plane. It's build around a DSM2 receiver for the pan and tilt. I use a DSM2 hack module in my Taranis to run the camera and the internal XJT module for the plane's controls. The trouble is that the receiver numbers have to match when you set up...

Re: Should rates and expos go in inputs or mixer?

Because there is usually more than one way to do things, you should do what makes sense to you. A year from now when you go back to change something in a model, will you be able to quickly figure out what parameter to change? In my case, I put controls, rates and expo (switches and sticks) on [Input...

An updated, detailed flow chart would be nice. Sometimes it's not clear in the stream from input to output where one operation takes place relative to another.

Re: Telemetry problem - Taranis X9D + X8R

You haven't set up telemetry on the "telemetria" page. You won't get the telemetry until you tell the Tx what the the signals it's receiving from the X8R are for.

Re: "Official" upgrade for Taranis to Plus?

The Plus has haptic and a better LCD display. It also comes with the larger battery and better sliders that recent Taranii have. It's certainly easier to just buy a new Taranis plus if you want those features. I'm not sure the main board and LCD are even available as parts yet.

Re: model setup via radio

You can program the radio itself. However, you may find it easier to use eepe to work out the program and simulate it. When you are happy with it, print it out and manually program the radio. (It's also nice to have the paper copy to record changes you make in the field.)

Try reseating the connections, inspecting for broken wires or pins not seated properly in the plastic shells.

Re: Power tools

I'd go for another Hitachi if you can get one with the same batteries and charger. I love mine. I had 2 old Dewalts with four packs and two chargers. It was really nice to have a both driver and a drill setup so you didn't have to switch. With 4 packs I always had a charged battery too.

Re: Lock outs with Spektrum module

Sounds like this is in a 9XR. Did you leave the stock antenna in too? What did you use for a power supply to the module? If it works at all it's unlikely to be the code. More likely it's your module. When I built my original module (way back when) I found a spot where I could do a full power range t...

Re: 9XR Pro is Here

HK seems to have their sights set on the Spektrum customer, rather than the Taranis customer. There is probably a much larger market there and the price difference would be more dramatic.

Re: using two different 2.4 modules simultaneously

I wanted to use 2 genuine Spektrum modules on a 9x, one internally and the other on the trainer. At the time, my understanding was that there might not be enough processing power in the 9x to handle 12 channels of Spektrum serial protocol. You could use two OrangeRX PPM modules because the module ha...

Try another receiver and then check your module build carefully. Mine apparently switches between DSM2 and DSMX modes and doesn't lose bind going back and forth to Frsky.

Could a shorted servo or servo lead be the problem? If the ESC and BEC measure OK that might be something to check. Have you opened up the dead RX to look for a burnt component?

On the model setup screen you can set the receiver number. That's how model match is done. That shouldn't be your problem if you aren't switching between Spektrum receivers. Maybe it's that receiver.

Re: Losing Bind with Spektrum RX

You've given each model a different receiver number right? Try binding it in DSM2 mode. I have a module also built from a DX4. Mine doesn't lose bind when everything is in DSM2 mode.
