I have an JR 8103 fitted with an XPS module that I have not used in about 13 years, I have one of the original 8 Ch receivers and a nano receiver. I am planning on using this radio while going to slope soaring to prevent risking my Jeti transmitter.

I have gone to XPS webpage to try to buy new receivers but I see that all is out of stock.

Is XPS out of business? Will there be receivers for sale?

Thank you

i did an unscheduled landing in S F bay. the glider sloshed around for about 30 minutes and was brought ashore. i did the usual clean water and alcohol rinse. the 8 channel RX no longer works. no LED either. so can the RX be fixed?

Jim,

Is there any software compatibility or functional reason that you should not use an XPS Futaba transmitter module with a Taranis?

I understand that one would have to cable the GND, Vbatt and PPM signals correctly, adapt the physical mounting, and set the Taranis to output PPM to the external bay.

Thanks,

Paul

p.s.  Thank you to user "rlocke" for this clever idea

I need a module that is compatible with FrSky X-7 transmitter. any one got one?
will buy or trade. i have one futaba module and two spectrum modules for a futaba TX to trade.

i tried to get 2 nanos to bind as master and slave to no avail. i tried multiple times. each of the nanos worked on channel 1 only.
i gave up and tried to bind both as single use RXs but they only worked on ch 1.
what am i to do?

Recently I asked many question about SBUS, XJT-D16 and PPM with regards to use with the X10+.  This time my question is about Xtreme protocol.

I configure my Futaba 9C transmitter to communicate with an XPS-F1 transmitter module using PPM.  I configure my Taranis to communicate with an XPS-J1 transmitter module using XJT-D16.  In both cases the receivers communicate with their respective X10+s using Xtreme protocol.

Since both arrangements work perfectly, then I reckon that the Xtreme protocol can adapt to the frame rates and data content of either XJT-D16 or PPM.  And, the X10+ PWM output to the servos comes at the same frame rate that the transmitter sends frames to the XPS transmitter module (either XJT-D16 at 18ms or PPM at 22.5ms).

Is this correct?  Thanks,

Paul

any wild guess if there will be any available soon?
thanks

On that thread "How-to videos" there are two links for videos
They both do not work
Please reinstate them back
One was about how to configure Nanos 
the other one was about X10

I am still using your bits

I've used Nanos pretty successfully paired with an Aurora A9 and two Tony Stillman Kraft conversions.  I only had two issues in ten years.  One: I tried swapping a Nano for a Spektrum in a Radian Glider and the throttle channel wouldn't work.  Two: There was one old gas engine that made it go bat $hit crazy.  Wouldn't work with anything but Futaba or one of FrSky's gas receivers.   Now there's a company for tinkerers.   Navigating their website is a nightmare. 

I'm coming back to less erratic modeling and I'd like to remain part of such an elite group.   Ever since I was a kid when I read about Samson killing Gelilah, I've always rooted for the little guy.   We all know Jim has been mocked by the big shots.   But, if you've ever met him, you know he knows a thing or two  about radios.

What should I do?

Too old to fly, need toys.

Trying to set up 4 separate engine running tests using a Taranis 9D plus.
Require Thr. Control on all.
Upgraded to edgetx-x9d+, 2.9.2 XJT_ACCST_2.1.0_FCC.frk

This XJT output binds fine with RM R88 Rx’s and similar.
There is no output option apart from XJT in the Tx.

Extreme nano’s accept and run  XJT from the Xtreme XPS-J1 module but not from the internal Taranis XJT module.
Not into these things, but I thought that XJT is XJT regardless.

Would prefer not to use the J1 module, so is there a way around this?

Is it to do with protocols, in which case just have to live with it. 

Any thoughts?

Regards,
