    Thanks Rich - I'm excited to begin playing with OpenTX on my 9x - I greatly appreciate the mod - and it's neat to see what goes into it.

    Brilliant video, just getting into FPV and I didn’t want to waist my old controller. Thanks heaps!

    Great video. My 9X is vintage 2012, never used. I intended to mod it for the ER9X firmware, but lost interest. Ordered the Micro ISP and will install it when it arrives. Then I can use my new 9X for the first time.

    Needed to find a new driver for the USBTiny but soon had my trusty old 9x running openTX. First attempt ended with an eeprom error but another go solved that,when I switched on it prompted me to format the error by pressing any switch and then went into openTX. Thanks for a great video.

    Thanks for sharing this topic and providing the step by step video. Can I ask what gauge and type of wire was used during your demo?

    Just a note, if you happen to have an Arduino duemilanove it can be used to program the ICSP.

  • @kkuenzel56
    @kkuenzel56 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    So from what I am understanding is the 9X radio can have 1 of 2 possible processors and the tiny AT44 can only be used for flashing one of them, correct? Is it marked on the processor so you can tell which one I have?

    where would you attach wires on the 9xrpro board any help would be great

  • @brookdrew7643

    I have just completed this mod and it looks like it is working. But my computer does not have the driver and asked to load the cd to manually load the driver. Do you know where to find the driver to download?

    I'll receive my first drone soon. Looking forward to do this upgrade to the remote.
    Thanks for sharing.
    So if i get it right, after upgrading the firmware.
    You comunicate with the processor of the remote in realtime.... Over usb.
    Awsome :)
    Can you adapt the stick slopes midd flight?
    Can come in handy as a rooky haha.
    Correct me if im wrong.
    Is this a way to get telemetrie working. With ArduFlight for example?
    Of cource the drone needs to be equipped with telemetrie as well than, i guess.
    With the idea in mind to flip a switch, that stabalizes the drone and sends it back home.

    Can I use Open TX companion to flash ER9X firmware?

  • @johnal4560

  • @kkuenzel56

    Can Companion be used to flash the original Firmware back onto the radio?

  • @joshandersons6914

  • @davygarrett
    @davygarrett 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the video tutorial.... can I ask what benefits would there be upgrading from the standard Turnigy, FlySky 9x Radio firmware to the openTX or ER9x Firmware!

    • @FliteBrothers
      @FliteBrothers  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      OpenTX or ER9X (basically the same thing) opens up unlimited possibilities of channel mapping, mixing and setting switch functions that are either not possible at all, or incredibly difficult to achieve with the stock firmware. It also allows for saving more models and other functions that are necessary if you ever intend to utilize different TX modules.

    • @FliteBrothers
      @FliteBrothers  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching!
      OpenTX has huge feature improvements over the stock firmware. Basically, anything you can imagine doing can be done somehow. You can use any input for whatever you want, on any output, and mix in any other input easily.
      If you already own one of these radios with the stock firmware, watching a few opentx tutorials will really shew you the difference

  • @nappingpup105
    @nappingpup105 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Browsed thru your videos. I was looking for a tutorial on replacing the stock 9X display, with one that is illuminated. Did you ever produce one and/or did you ever mod your stock display for your own purposes?

    • @FliteBrothers
      @FliteBrothers  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      NappingPup You don't have to change the display. Just buy the backlight kit for $5 from HobbyKing and install. It's easy.

    • @FliteBrothers
      @FliteBrothers  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You don't need to replace the stock display, you only need to get a backlight kit. Hobby King sells them very cheap. You can see one in action on this video when Rich turns on his transmitter

  • @brookdrew7643
    @brookdrew7643 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you supply a new link for the programmer? This link no longer works. Also how do I know if I have "tinned" wires?

    • @wdave6944
      @wdave6944 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Tin them. Then you'll know. I mean... when you strip off the insulation at the ends, you're left with strands of bare wire... hand-twist each of these bare wires so that they stay together rather than fray apart and then apply a wee-bit of solder to them... don't just let a blob drop onto them... heat the wire (the twisted thingie part) and let the heat of the wire melt the solder. Don't get excessive with the solder... just a light little coating that keeps all the little strands together (inside as well as outside). THAT is called "tinning" the wire. Once you've done it... you'll remember that you did. ;-)
      Oh. I forsee a problem here... Many things can be done many ways but usually there are better ways and worse ways... even though you "could" use solid hookup wire for this - DON'T. Instead, use flexible *Stranded* wire.
      Check out other channels on TH-cam for a better "tutorial" on soldering - my explanation was just a quickie.

    frankly I'm surprised that turnigy doesn't ship these with openTX and a tinyisp pre-installed

    • @MrKris72
      @MrKris72 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is the diff between the $60 and the $180 radio. I'd rather buy an open radio that is upgrade-able than one with all bells and whistles installed but probably closed source FW.

    Everything installed and hooked up but it won't communicate with the programmer.
    Windows Device Manager says it is not installed correctly because of no driver.

    • @thingsartesanato3151
      @thingsartesanato3151 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes it is possible to use the arduino but it is a little more complicated to connect the wires, in the software part it is easier than with a recording board.

  • @NewCal10

    Hi there :D I had an error which says: AVRdude connector error. So I downloaded AVRdude files and inserted it into usr/local/bin and now the writing firmware is launching but nothing happened. Do you have I idea?
    Thanks BTW :)

    • @FliteBrothers
      @FliteBrothers  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      there should be a avrdude.exe file in the opentx companion folder somewhere that you should point it to.

    • @NewCal10
      @NewCal10 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Flite Brothers alright. I am looking for that file. But does it work on Mac? Cause it's an exe file.

      Strange, the link works fine for us. No biggie. Just search for "micro tiny USB isp" on eBay.

    • @soryn4volt955
      @soryn4volt955 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      In Europe we are mentaly reduced , so that good things do not get to us ,
      this is the link what works in Europe
      www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-Tiny-AVR-ISP-ATtiny44-USBTinyISP-Programmer-5V-For-Arduino-Bootloader-/161947116048?hash=item25b4cce210:g:dBYAAOSwaA5Wl3Xo
      based on the keywords that you gave me
      the original link might it work only for the us market
      so each person should find this programmer on his own continent market
      thx

    Not everyone on TH-cam is an expert. I think the first step should be to tell viewers why they may want to perform this upgrade.
