ERIC DODSWORTH Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 forgive if this has been covered before and the issue is an easy fix but i have gotten to the end of my skill with a teranis x9d i am attempting to teach my grandson to fly and having 2 radio's running er9x software thought i could buddy lead them together not quite going to plan both radios will accept an input from a spektrum dx6 (borrowed)but neither will talk to each other the the turnigy 9xr powers on when a buddy lead is connected the teranis doesn't all the youtube videos seem to show an instant connection on the trainer set up page and a change in the values on the cal line this happens when i plug in the spektrum but not when i connect the turnigy any help would be appreciated dont want to buy a new radio until i know if he is serious about taking up the hobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Lewis 3 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 quick possible mistake. Make double sure you are using the trainer port and not the headphone port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIC DODSWORTH Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 pretty sure i have it right as the spektrum connects with both radios its like i am not getting an output from either of the open source radios they both accept an input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Lewis 3 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) From memory (I don't use Open TX anymore) and I'm reasonably sure it's the same in ER9X, but in model settings you have to set the trainer port mode, 1 radio to master/jack and the other to slave jack, have you done that?

ERIC DODSWORTH Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 the 9xr goes into slave mode as soon as a trainer lead is connected goes into master when turned on all the settings are at 100% is there a setting to activate an output that i havn't yet found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Lewis 3 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Have you allocated it a switch to give the slave control? In Open TX it's in the special functions tab and normally the momentary switch. Edited April 9, 2023 by Philip Lewis 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIC DODSWORTH Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 ive tried but nothing seems to make any difference do i have to set an output on a different page before trying to set up on the trainer page does the spektrum automaticaly do something the open source needs setting up seperately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Lewis 3 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) If one is set to master/jack and the other to slave/jack and in special functions you have a switch allocated to enable trainer on the master TX then it should all just work. You can try looking through the attached though but obviously this is open tx not er9x so you might need to do some interpretation. No doubt Mike B will at some point see your post and offer firmer guidance.

Philip Lewis 3 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) I found this for er9x, it seems old but it's the latest I could find and I doubt that the trainer programming section has ever altered much from the start. It looks like you also need todesignate what will switch (which chanels) on the trainer screen as shown in the pcture at the top of page 23.

ERIC DODSWORTH Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 the trouble is that the calibration section never moves from all zero's no signal is being detected as neither radio recognises the other i cant allocate to something as the radio doesnt find anything to give control to the figures on the cal line never change both radios are running er software as i updates the teranis and got loads of warnings about internal batteries and needing to update my multi module didnt back up my old software and cant get older versions of open tx backed into er9x the pages are all very similar all the trainer pages are the same still have special functions pages just dont seem to be able to use either radio as a slave only as a master the screen shows slave but gives no output for the master to transmit will try to get some pictures later to make it clearer could the different voltages be an issue wouldnt have thought so but teranis is 7.2v spektrun is 6v turnigy 9xr is 11v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Blandford Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 First checking the radios. You have a Taranis (not plus) running erskyTx and a 9XR (not 9XR-PRO) running er9x. What versions of firmware are you running? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Lewis 3 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Since Mike is here now, (Hi Mike), I'm going to bow out to far superior knowledge, not that I had anything more to add anyway other than to say I've never had a combination that didn't work other than a mistake down to me so I'm sure this will get sorted.

Denis Watkins Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Wish I was there Eric, it would take about 2 minutes to buddy any 2 from your outfit. Have your Master ON with buddy lead connected. The SLAVE is OFF, and comes On when the buddy Phono lead is connected. The Trainer Switch on the MASTER then alternates who has control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Blandford Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I just checked with an original 9X (not 9XR) as slave to a Taranis Plus. All works, but the slave MUST have the RF protocol set to PPM as this is the protocol sent on the trainer jack socket. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIC DODSWORTH Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 Brilliant advice I run a 4in1module swapped the settings to ppm and the 9xr will buddy up the teranis seems to struggle to be the slave probably not a bad idea giving a 10year old a decent radio probably not a good idea Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
