As I understand it: Frame length is the time to transmit all channel pulses plus the duration of the sync pause between the pulses. As the normal maximum channel pulse is 2 msec you need 16 msec for 8 channel pulses. But you can increase the limit of a channel value to 125% so if all channels send t...

Thanks Eraz, it's working now (on my radio :P ) But there is the next idea: Would it be possible to display, with the Switch alarm message, the names (shortcut) of those switches that trigger the alarm? Because if you do not remember your correct default switch settings, it's a hard way to find your...

One basic question regarding the Switch warning: When I set a switch in the menue (and switch warning activated), must the switch be on or off when I switch on the radio? I just found it out: All switches are checked and must be in the position according to the setup in the menue You have to set the...

Menu button only allows to set/reset the 'T'-switch.
No chance to select another one of the switches.

Switch warning does not yet work (version 677).
Cursor can not be moved right/left to select other switches than the 'T' switch

You could also bind both receivers to the first transmitter. Then test. The servos on both receivers should run synchronously. Then switch on the second transmitter. Continue testing. There should be no influence to the receivers, bound to the first transmitter. Bind both receivers to the second tra...

I'm planning to program the servo movement for a retractable motorpod. To achieve this I need separate curves for both directions. Is this possible? What do you mean with 'both directions'? one direction from 0 to -100 (negative) and the other direction from 0 to + 100 (positive) or one direction f...

Just verified that 2GB SD card works.

But my 2GB micro SD card with adapter does not work.

I'm going to try to summarise regarding an addon to give speech output, and then we can work on from there. 1) We need something to play the speech (what quaility?, we don't need hifi, what format of audio file?, how much?) This is the card that I experimented with You have to order the module for ...

But you have to take care of the different battery types (NiCad,NiMH,Li, 2cells, 3 cells)

Reinhard

Thanks, would be nice to have.

No, I havn't used it, because it doesn't run on my Win XP (or I don't know how to )

I need new compilations only when I 'play around' with modifying the NMEA code.
So I don't need every possible version to be newly compiled, only a very limited number of versions.

This is my solution on Windows XP: Prereqs (AFAIK) : I have installed WinAVR-20100110, AVRStudio4 (v.4.18 SP3), Ruby-1-9-2-p0 and TortoiseSVN (V 1.6.10) (When installing Ruby, you have to select 'Add Ruby executables to your path' and 'Assiciate .rb and .rbs files with this Ruby installation') I use...

I just verified, that my parallel port programmer (that pretty well works with PonyProg as Parallel AVRISP I/O on LPT1) does also work with EEPe. Without loading a driver first (GIVEIO). The Programmer is powered from the TX, so it has to be switched on manually for flashing. I set it up as Pony-STK...

That was the reason why

Yes it works absolutely fine with Pony Prog, do I need WinAVR installed to have AVRDUDE work correctly?

If you are using the main tx battery to power the RTC, then you run the risk of discharging a LIPO too low if the tx is not charged for a long time, same as leakage for a power switch. Vbat to the RTC is specified as max of 5.5V, are you supplying the full battery voltage? Would a supercap be usefu...

Looks nice and clean, but personally.... I don't like that location (I was considering that also). Too visible for my eyes (And it's under your hand when you fly). But that's just my opinion... :) Visible, yes but that doesn't bother me . You could put some kind of cover over it. Under my hand.... ...

This is how I resolved my programming connector. The external SubD (female) connector is mounted in the front half of the housing. No problems to separate the two halfs of the Tx. No problems with dirt as it is on the side of the housing No problems with shorting or breaking pins as it's a female co...

Ok the video was not that helpful, because it is out of focus, but at least from here I can give you some advice. Those clips are not save at all, they will easily make a nice big fat short. Is it really true, that you have to shorten the +5v pogo pin with the ground pin??? I don't know the progamm...
