Only thing, when I press the programming button the led never goes off, it just blinks on and off green.  Same behavior with the X10+v2.

It works as described in the manual when the receiver and X10 are configured for Extreme protocol, but not SBUS.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

It had been a long time and I hope you and your family are well.

I have been working with a new ELRS system.  I'm using a RadioMaster TX15 transmitter and several RadioMaster receivers.  I got an 8-channel ER8GV receiver that I want to put into my sailplane that currently has an RFU and X10+v1.

To begin I configured an X10+v2 to take SBUS as its input.

Then I configured one of the PWM servo outputs on the ER8GV receiver to be a serial port and to output SBUS.  I connected it all up and powered on and it worked.

The X10+v2 green led flickered about three times per second.

I got feedback from the RCGroups ELRS forum that the SBUS errors are there because ELRS periodically sends back telemetry packets in time slots normally occupied by control packets.  My system's overall packet rate is 100Hz for 10ms frames and my telemetry ratio is 1:32.  That means it sends about three telemetry packets every second.  That could explain the three led flickers pre second.

My ELRS frame rate is set to 10ms and the receiver's PWM outputs are set to 50Hz.  The ELRS system therefore sends every other control packet to the PWM outputs.

The setup and servos seem to work, so I plan to try it out at the airfield soon.

Can you think of any reason I shouldn't fly it?

Thanks,

Paul

p.s.  Will your proposed X10+v3 take CRSF as an input?]]>

I hope you and your family are well.

On the XPS website, the X10+v2 includes SBUS and SBUS2 as supported protocols.  However, in the X10+v2 manual, SBUS-2 is not listed as an input protocol that can be selected.

If I connect a Futaba SBUS-2 receiver to an X10+v2, will it work like regular SBUS, only without the telemetry part?

Thanks,

I hope you and your family are well.

I have a setup with an XPS Nano receiver, and three ProModeler micro digital servos.  Two DS100s on elevator and rudder, and one DS150 on ailerons.

With the radio, receiver and servos powered up with a two-cell 6.6v life receiver pack, I adjusted the aileron pushrods.  While removing, turning and then re-installing the kwik links onto the aileron servo horn, I placed slight amounts of turning force on the DS150 aileron servo.  This caused the servo to make some noises which I expected as it held its position against the loads imparted by my fingers.

What I did not expect was that the other two servos also made small jittery movements when the aileron servo was disturbed.

I never noticed this phenomenon before.  Do you think there may be a problem with my setup?

Thank you,

Paul]]>

Looking at the receiver, it's quite old.

The Xtreme Power systems website announced a few years ago that XPS would be selling both aircraft and radios used over the years for testing.

I just noticed that in July XPS put several RC jets for sale in the RCGroups forum.  I never saw that until now, but I wouldn't have been in that market anyway.

I am however in the market for a radio that you may have used for testing along with a working JR or other type module.

Please let us know in the forum when and if and when you plan to sell your radio inventory.

Thank you,

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
