Blank screen after flashing opentx
Blank screen after flashing opentx
Hi I flashed my 9x with opentx 2.2 after that if I turn on the transmitter nothing happens. If I now try to read I get a communication error what do I wrong?
Somebody here how can help me?
Thanks.

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
Please provide the exact error.
Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
At least. don't use the -F option, because that probably will brick your radio

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
That error, "Target doesn't answer", is covered on the product page under the FAQ tab... relevant section pasted below:
AVRDUDE Error: Target doesn't answer
This error indicates a problem between the programmer and the 9X. It has nothing to do with the USB connection to the computer. It is generally caused by the following:Unfortunately, there's no simple way to test for a defect other than ruling out the other possibilities, so go over everything three times then please contact us for further assistance.
- You don't have the 9x powered on. This programmer requires the target (the 9X) to be powered.
- One or more of the spring pins is not making contact. This could be a simple alignment issue, or the screws are too loose. Flux residue or oils from your fingers could prevent a signal, so cleaning the pads and pins with 99%+ alcohol can make the difference. Inspect the pins and pads
- Your 9X is a so-called "V1". See the "My 9X is a V1 (or V2 or V3)?" in the pre-sales section above.
- A defective board.
Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
Generally very good advice. NEVER use the -F option!
However, in this case, it can't cause a problem because a connection to the target doesn't exist

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
It could have caused a problem if he used it when flashed the radio the first time. Remember he said that after flashing it went blank and never responded again..
A bricked radio will display the same error. Not saying it is the case here though..

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
What settings do you have in companion?
Exactly what file did you flash?
What chip does your radio have?

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
Matzeeg3, did you go through the troubleshooting items I posted?
My guess is you didn't have the radio on. Flashing an unpowered target can erase it, but not program it.

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
i attached a picture with the settings of my companion.
The Flashed Filename is:
Code: Select all
opentx-9x-heli-templates-ppmca-gvars-symlimits-autosource-autoswitch-dblkeys-battgraph-nogps-de.hex
Yes i did the troubleshooting but nothing change. I have the transmiter powered on as you can see on my picture bevor.

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
i just check the vcc power if i power on the transmiter i get +5v on the vcc.

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
Well, I only see a picture of Avrdude's output,not one of the configuration settings..
Please try adding -B 100 to the extra arguments field. Try doing a reading of the eeprom or firmware instead of trying to flash the radio..

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
It looks like you might have some connection problem. Could you please post a picture of your 9x mother board.
Also check that no pogo pins are bent on the smartieparts board, or that their springs are locked and not making contact.
You could also try eepe instead of companion.. Please download it at www.er9x.com

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
Would be better to upgrade to the Atmel - ATMEGA2561-16AU chip: (viewtopic.php?f=95&t=3819&p=71554#p71554).
The problem may be somewhere different, we are not sure you have a bad chip.

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
is the atmega2561-16u compatible to OpenTX? (not eepx or er9x)

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
I have no idea if openTX supports the m2561. This chip does allow for more features. But I believe openTX is not being developed or maintained for the 9x stock board anymore. Er9x is.
It doesn't even support some features like the multi protocol module.. I personally think that you would be better off with er9x..
Can't see anything wrong with your board![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx

if i decide to stay on opentx will the atmega a post will be the right or do i need the 16a Version? i don´t find informations for that

Re: Blank screen after flashing opentx
The major differences I already told you. Er9x is still maintained, so you have more chances of having new features, or support for more hardware implemented.
Er9x supports the 4 in 1 Multiprotocol module.
Er9x supports the addition of extra hardware like extra switches.
In my opinion er9x has a much better user interface and it is much easier to navigate the menus and find the options we need without having to scroll through many menus before you find the one you want. But this one is my opinion of course.
