In this video i go through the process of updating the firmware on my Frsky R9M module and the R9 Slim receiver. I am no expert at this but i am determined to make this stuff work. I make mistakes along the way.

Hi, thank you for the video, it helped a lot. Unfortunately, when I got to the firmware upgrade for the r9 slim receiver, I do not have an option to "flash external device", the options I have are..."flash S. port device" or "flash Rx by est.OTA" when I choose either option it does not recognise the receiver nor does it update. I have tried the update on a profile with the r9m module installed and a module without the r9m. When picking the option with the r9m module, the receiver will turn red even before I get to the firmware update, whereas with yours, it only turns red when you select "flash external device". When I choose a model without the r9m, it is as yours is showing without a light on the receiver only offers one option "flash S.port device" and when selected, it says no device can be found. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@TweetFPV4 жыл бұрын

Crossfire does not care about their customers you are meat on the plate I waited and waited for this R9 Mini 2 come out and now they double the price Crossfire looks better and better Crossfire actually cares about their customers and releases free updates and when people ask for stuff they actually listen exact opposite of FR sky
@TweetFPV5 жыл бұрын
The R9m system fills the void where crossfire doesn't cover. Crossfire mini goes to 250mw, the r9m up to 1W and the big crossfire 2W. Keeping in mind in the US the max power output for a ham license holder is only 1W. So if you wanted a crossfire system capable of the max allowable power output of 1W you would need to get the big crossfire. This is the space where the r9m fills.

If i select no telemetry, can I get the rssi on an aux channel? Im using the new r9mm rx, and the only firmware for fcc doesnt mention an aux rssi default channel. As long as you can get an rssi value in osd, turning telemetery off helps range.
@TweetFPV5 жыл бұрын
Rssi is baked into the fcc firmware on ch16 not sure what you will get with telemetry off.
@drjjohnson9115 жыл бұрын
You would get just a value on ch 16 to be converted to your rssi in osd via fc. Telemetry enable increases broadband which reduces range and potentially increases interference with other close bands like 1.3ghz. If rssi was assigned to ch 8, baked in, we would get lower latency too.
