EzUHF to DX6i through trainer port

[Cat695]

Guys I'm bored so I thought I would prep by DX6i ready for when simon gets in some more EZUHF kits.

Now I've taken the back off, and taken the trainer port off to see which is PPM and GND. For those that don't know or fancy doing this (and this for MY Tx so yours maybe different!!!)

Red=PWR  Orange=BATT  Yellow=PPM  Black=GND

As I'm going to power the EzUHF from a Seperate Lipo so I'm only going to use the Black=GND and Yellow=PPM connections to actually connect to the EzUHF

heres a pic




Can someone tell me how do I figure out where PPM and GND comes out on the 3.5mm socket?? I'm guessing....(this is after reading a billion different pages) that PPM will be the point of the 3.5mm plug and GND the side?

On the Curcit board PPM goes to pin 2 and GND goes to pin 1 if that helps on the 3.5mm socket

thanks guys

PS this plug is what I'm going to go get to connect the Futaba supplied cable to

Reserved for when I do the soldering and stuff :D

Cat, when you get the 3.5 plug your best and surest bet is to plug it into the socket and then use a multimeter (on continuity setting) to check from the PPM and GND points on the circuit board through to the new plug, that will match up the correct places to connect to in the plug.

Many thanks PK I just so happen to have one of them!!

You need a mono 3.5mm jack plug and the center pin is PPM. The outer is ground. You do not have power on the Spektrum trainer port so will need to power externally. I connected my trainer port on my DX8 to OpenLRS and it all works very well.

I also used power from my TX which gives 7.4V to power the OpenLRS.

Yep I checked all that and am happy what needs soldering where, just need EzUHF to come back into stock now lol

or get OpenLRS

I've thought about it trust me........I just like the plug and play of ezuhf (ezosd etc)


Though I have been looking at a futaba 9c super (second hand) and with the money I spend on that getting the openLRS instead

I'd say that with the new firmware configurator that Thundead made recently that OpenLRS is as plug and play as any UHF system gets. It's cheaper and can be customised to suit your needs

Agreed, one quick flash and your away :)

Not to menion that ssassen can be an obnoxious so and so, which is why I wont buy any of his products

Yeah I have noticed that about him on many forums!!

so all I need then is

this

http://www.firstpersonview.co.uk/rc-control-systems/rc-control-separates/openlrs-receiver-v2-for-459mhz

and a couple of 459mhz Antennas

does it come with the futaba cable (like the EzUHF)?? so I can cut and connect to my DX6i (though I am keeping an eye on a futaba 9c super thats on fleabay)
