Turnigy 9x OpenTX Radio Controllers
We have two Turnigy 9x Radio Controls. They were hacked by the MiG (Multi-rotor interest Group) with usb connected eeprom programmers to run OpenTX firmware.
The latest firmware that these radios can run is OpenTX 2.1.9
Running newer versions of OpenTX will result in corrupted Eeprom
These radios are very versatile and with their DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Modules installed can control almost any radio controlled device on the market.
Be aware that cell towers and high power 2.4ghz transmitters can severely impact control range of these radios, especially in a urban environment. Avoid flying in the beam path of cell transmitters on buildings and towers. If you do lose a control link, hold the radio high above your head to regain control and note the position of the controlled model, and avoid entering that area again.
Channel Order
The channel order on the shared Turnigy 9x Radios has been set to AETR. This is because most drones that we have been flying use this channel order by default. In addtion our iRangeX IRX4 Plus STM32 DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module expect to see input in AETR channel order and will convert that order to be compatible with models of various channel orders we are connecting. For aircraft using servos this means that channel mapping and servo connections would be:
A= Alerions CH1 E= Elevator CH2 T= Throttle CH3 R= Rudder CH3
This may or may not match the labels on your rc receiver in your aircraft, but changing the channel order to something other than AETR on the turnigy 9x radios has caused a lot of confusion with buddy box connections and drone controls.
Features:
Per opent-tx.org
- Compatible with OpenTX 2.1 branch and earlier releases (see issue)
- Also exist as Turnigy 9X
- Atmega64
- 16 models
- 5 flight modes
- A lot of mods supported (audio, voice, telemetry, rotary encoder navigation, ...)
Making Custom Splash Images
Format as 124x64 px 24bit bmp files. Basically black and white pixel art. Load onto radio using OpenTX 2.1 companion software. Name in this format #####.bmp do not exceed 5 characters in file name.
