Let's not forget this is still extremely useful to pilots with Devo radios or other radios compatible I don't know of. Thanks so much!

Just desoldered last night to upgrade my R9 mini. Thanks for saving me time next time I have to update my R9 mini and slim+!

Tested it yesterday to update one of my r-xsr receivers to Fport, like you mentioned 'as long the receiver is not powered from the same rail as the 5v USB it works flawlesly. Well ok it'll take some time, but much better than unsolder your receiver.

this is going to be soo useful. I'm also running an r9-mini.

I've used passthrough before with your FC and had no issues.

Thank you! Your video saved me the time waiting for the frsky tool. I own the nirvana and as awesome it is, it can't upgrade modules and receivers. I got myself into r9 and of course it wouldn't work without the upgrades. I took an old crazybee f3 aio fc put the r9mm on it, set up serialpassthrough as you showed it and it worked! Then I cooked up a connector for the module (you don't wanna know) and upgraded it too successfully. Now everything works! God, I love this hobby!

Will the pass thru work for r-xsr same way?

I updated the wiki with this info, and linked to your vid. There were some pieces missing in the wiki. Thanks.

By the way: You can also flash the R9M Module during this method. For example you have a nirvana and cant flash the module during the radio. Connect the sport, plus and minus of the r9M module to your fc and choose the right file for it. Works great!! I hope i could help.

Hey Joshua, say you want more range and happen to have a 2w 2.4ghz booster, and a taranis x9d se. Is it possible to remove the stock antenna, and place the 2.4ghz booster inline, to say a higher th I antenna?

I heard something about frsky is going to make a new firmware for the EU r9m. Do you know something about it? Seems like it's not doing full power from what I read.

Hi, great video but i'm adding smtg for F7 guys that are tilting with it. WIth F7 controller, the easiest way is to activate Fport with josua's video and after follow this video but instead of selecting smartport on telemetry, just activate Serial RX of the uart needed. That's the correct way to do it with Fport :) i found it after 2 hours of research so... i'm so happy

looks like this is the Video for me... i bought an R9MM receiver and was surprised there werent any cables coming with it.. but maybe i just create some extra cable stuff to plug it into my xlite pro since nothing is soldered atm.. :D

Have had no luck with GEPRC phantom and XM+ receiver, tried multiple ways, also had problems with a baby ape before and had to de-solder and do manually.
