Title: Switched to LibrePilot, now transmitter set up doesn't connect to X9D
Post by: TimBuckThree on March 07, 2017, 03:41:14 pm
Hi All,
I have been a long time OpenPilot user. I Just decided last night that I should probably get with the times and upgrade.
I was flying all day yesterday, so I know my issue isn't hardware related.

Everything was working until I flashed new firmware from LibrePilot onto my CC3D. I am using PPM mode as I usually do on smaller builds. I put it through the Vehicle set up wizard, everything went swimmingly.

When I got to the Transmitter set up wizard, it won't see any of my X9D's activity. It is bound as is indicated on my D4R-2 green light. I just don't get how it could be totally flawless and then with new firmware, it doesn't work at all.

Did I do something wrong?
Any ideas?

Thank you!

Be sure you use the Pin8 wire (last pin)for PPM input.

D4R-II: You must put a jumper between CH4/CH3 signal pin and connect the pin8-cable to the CH1

Ah, yes pin8 was the issue. I was using....pin 3 i suppose?
Kind of had to do some haggard mods to the cables and connectors, but its working!
Thank you very much good sir!
