Turnigy 9x with Frsky module - various problems.

[Flydigital]

I've been using 9x standard Tx / Rx for a while but have now replace with Frsky module to get more reliable range. Swapping it over has thrown up a few issues.

1. When connected top the assistant 1 of the 4 sticks does not move.
2. Continuous fast orange flashing from the Naza.
3. The module does not fit all the way in on the back of the 9x.

So is issue no. 3 the cause of the others? Should this be plug and play or do I need to mess about with firmware / swapping channels etc? I'm looking about and seeing mention of reflashing firmware but don't quite get the point of that.

Using a Turnigy 9x + er9x installed.

Thanks for any pointers...

You have to trim the plastic around the pins on the 9x off. Once you've done this the module will fit the whole way in and probably yield better results

Thanks. I milled out completely the raised plastic area. Even leaving a little meant it wouldn't go in fully. This alone didn't sort the lack of rudder movement. I took my 550 top off and re wired all the connections. This sorted out the rudder connection. Final issue of orange lights was simply telling me I was in failsafe mode. As it was a new TX, Rx set up the signals that control GPS, Atti, Manual and Failsafe were all slightly out and needed to be trimmed.
