I am realy interested in that…!
I was thinking about doing one for myself… but don’t have all the knowledge…!
Jim, i may have missed it, and im sorry if i have but do you have a Step by Step Tutorial on the DIY.system?
Yes, I’m going to use a MCP3208 8ch 12bit ADC. As your probably aware the propeller doesn’t have an onborad ADC.
Yes I noticed that when I ported the phoenix code over to a propeller. luckily the default phoenix does not have any required use for AtoD but it can always come in handy, for doing things like checking the voltage of the battery…

This sounds very similar to what Quantum (Paul) are working with:
Cool so I wont be the only one going down the prop path.
Found some cheap Hitec Laser 4 radios. There trainer versions but the hardware should be the same. I picked up two and there’s still 4 left.
You might be interested in this radio:
hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor … oduct=8991
It is a fairly good hardware, only the firmware is… crap.
Hence, some people made a new one:
I did that, and ended up with:
16 channel (!) 2.4GHz all-purpose radio (you can link 2 8ch Rx at the same time, the 2nd one will then manage ch 9-16)
backlit screen
2-cell “protected” Li-ION battery - takes forever to discharge (20hrs or so)
and cheap, too.
BTW:
If you replace the original 2,4GHz system with the Jeti-Kit, you’ll get the Jeti telemetry-return signals on the Tx display (no Jeti-Box required)
I have bought exactly that radio … you’ll get an rapport…
I was aware of that transmitter. But didn’t know you can hack it that way…!
I will look to see what can be done !!!
Tanks a lot
PappaNiklas: did you already have it. or just order it ?
I payed for it 20110305
They sent it from HongKong 20110319
and as i live in sweden it will take some time to get here…
Hi all,
I did a little more research on the input to the Spektrum DSM2 Airmodule and found that the input is intended for an open collector signal. I do not know if this has been mentioned in this massive, but informative thread.
I intend to use the DSM2 Airmodule with an Endurance RC PCTx and was determining how to interface the PCTx output to the DSM2 Airmodule. To get the signal polarity right, it looks like I will have to have the PCTx drive a PNP transistor hooked to the DSM2’s open collector input.
Just a thought.

Hi all,
Take a look at this joystick ppm encoder and Tx interface: ianjohnston.com/content/inde … s&Itemid=8
Uses an Arduino Nano, but can use just about any Arduino processor board. Comes complete with schematic and code.

Hi,
I am hoping that someone might be able to help me here. I have all the parts to complete this project and have tested the code. I have been able to get the keypad working however when it came to moving servos with the joysticks I could move them so far and them nothing!!! It like the recever would not respond!!! I had no problem doing the bind between the TX & RX but i think it might be the different readings of the joysticks themselves. I got them from Lynxmotion (Part No: GIM-02) and when I did some A/D reading of the pots it got 0 - 1024 on the X & Y axes. So my question is has someone here used these joysticks???
Is it possible that you made be able to help me to get the correct readings so then I can adjust the code posted to get this thing working. Is there something I have misted!!!

Any help would be great!!!
Noob here i have my remote all put together keypad and everything… Im building a Quadrocopter and would like to know (or help) adjusting the code to better deal with flight
please explain this and how you wired it up, please i have a dm8 module and it wont go into bind mode at all. i have a dev board and when i hook it up there everything works fine. the jr pinout is different but i hooked it up correctly (i think) HELP
Mate your wasting your time posting on here…I have tried to get answers in regards to this and have posted many times but noone answers. They don’t even answer question on there own products!!!

??? - This is only your 5th post. I know I tried to answer some before… Also FYI - Most of us up here are simply hobbyist and don’t work for Lynxmotion…
As I mentioned in another posting of this, I don’t remember it has been almost 4 years since I did that and I personally converted all of my stuff to XBees. Now if it were me, I would google on the bind process and try to find a site that is particular to your radio… I would then look at websites like: spektrumrc.com/articles/arti … cleid=1923

Hi All,
If you want to build a gamer’s USB joystick eight channel R/C transmitter that will work with the Spektrum DM8 FUT module, check out this thread over at RCG: rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1704110
