EX/RX firmware
« on: December 13, 2011, »
I looked and couldn't find the info, but does the TX/RX and EX/RX use the same hex file now? The WIKI has the same file listed for both, Thanks,

Bill

You know I was worried that I messed up again.  <fp.

So I did some digging in this board and came across this post from RJ

Yes the build of the ver2 Tx and RX are identical and their is nothing to modify or cut just basic soldering. The RF modules are used as is.

Those that are not building from the kits with preprogrammed pics need to download the firmware I am posting here I will see if we can get it posted to the wiki shortly as the ver1 firmware will be a no go on the new units. You need the right firmware for them to work properly.

for one the range will be bad on the old firmware.  and the unit will not switch back and forth and the channels are on the wrong freq.

RJ

P.S.

This one firmware is for all Ver 2 units that includes TX/RX and EX/RX units.

It will not function on Ver 1 Equipment. I have a compatible mode firmware for the Ver1 stuff to make it work with the Ver 2 stuff correctly that I will be posting shortly.

Seems I didn't messed up and I won't have to step down as the admin of the wiki LOL

Bill -

I can confirm the same hex file does work for both the TX/RX and EX/RX.  In fact my show is running wirelessly with that hex file as I type this.

Which means less work for us all.

Thanks RJ for using the k.i.s.s. principle. :)
