Yesterday I updated my IR8M from original firmware to last build.
Using my Tiny Whoop I started to experience some lose control issues. So I make a range test:

Radio - 100uW
Receiver - Tiny Whoop FrSky D8 protocol

Latest nightly build - about 6m
Original build - much more than 10m (impossible to check inside my apartment)

Its possible that last build have range issues on D8 protocol?

I'm having a major issue with my throttle, and can't find the answer anywhere. Just set this TX up today, updated to the latest nightly build. My issue is that the channel output for the throttle doesn't go above 0%. There is throttle response down to -125%, but above mid-stick, I'm not getting any more throttle, which means I can't fly.

I have the V2, and I'm setting this up for Plane. I don't think I have a bad sensor on the gimbal, i get a full -100/+100 when I look in the stick input menu under channel monitor.

Hello,
I have a big issue with my controller.
Suddently it stopped working. It was working normally and now it doesnt power up anymore.
Basically it powers up for a sec and it closes. The batteries are not the issue, i measured them with multimeter.
When i switch on the transmitter, the blue led behind "IRangeX" logo works for a sec and then it stops. and then nothing happens.
Anyone maybe can help me (what to look)?

If that works, the nightly build firmware has the Freq-Fine option available in the Frsky-V8 protocol. Upgrade to nightly build to try with the V8 receiver.

it binds from +60 to +120
so I put in setting +90?
This for the D4R-II

Thank you very much, so I will try with the V8FR-2

Which file should I download for iRangeX iRX-IR8M V2?

If I select Frsky-V8 there are no settings.

reciever is V8FR-II HV

Did you try to increase/decrease Freq-Fine until it binds?

Hello,

I am French and it is not easy for me to express myself in English.

I have FrSky receiver and can not bind them.

V8FR-II and D4FR-II

I need your help, thanks.

What receiver are you using?

Funny enough I also have the E010, E011, E011c, E010s (FrSky) and 200GT... suffered from the E01x quadcopters dropping from the sky at random as well Decided to swap the module, but nothing changed.

Then I hooked up the included receiver, it worked flawless on both modules...

I soldered a tiny FrSky SBUS receiver onto the E010s to test if it worked as well, I have not had it drop from the sky anymore. Under the FrSky options I had to adjust Freq-Fine to bind, after binding I figured out the mid-point and left it there (+42). This is the receiver I used: m.banggood.com/2_4G-8CH-D8-Mini-FrSky-Co...utput-p-1140478.html

The Bayang boards work somewhat better, up to 10m no problem but after that it gets unreliable.

I have an XM+ on the 200GT and it works fine, flying over farmlands around my house and had it failsafe once so far; when I was behind a big shipping container...

Right now I wired an OPlink Mini to the PPM out port, OpenLRS has a LOT more range

My question is, does anyone know what PCB connectors are used? They look like JST ZH connectors and SH connectors I have are too small...

No more iRX-IR8M builds?

Hi

I am new to Deviation and am trying to get my head around how to use it.

I have purchased the IRangeX I8X-IR8M transmitter from Banggood along with a FRSky V8R4-II Rx. I am trying to get this to bind and have not had any luck. Would anybody be able to help me with this process?

When I check the "About Deviation" tab on the Tx says that the firmware version is IRX-IR8M 1.0.1. Should I be updating this to a different firmware option? I am not planning on doing any crazy development stuff, just want to hook up a Rx to the Tx. I am only used to using transmitters that come with a pre-bound Rx so am very new to all of this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi,
I'm looking for an ini file for a Eachine QX95S with iRangeX iRX-IR8M (deviation 5.X). Can someone help me ?
I'm using DSM2 protocol.
My current configuration does not allow me to arm the QX95s

Regards

Yes, data above consistent with firmware, or at least module control problem: A7105 max output rating 1mW, so looks like a PA (power amp) is on the board, but throttled by a LNA (must be on board because other chips power is varying), and for the other chips the PA is disabled?

Join, I have the same problem.

I do not have a power meter. but with the FrSky receiver L9R, I got a distance of 120 meters, at the maximum TX power!

Your measurements explain the reason!
Can this be fixed by FW update?

Anyone having range problems with the V.2 iR8M? I just got one from Banggood.

Using my ImmersionRC power meter, into 50 ohms I get:
- FRSky JR transmitter module: 65mW (rated as 100mW)
- Modded Devo 7E (cc2500): When set to 100mW, outputs 55mW.
Conclusion: if not 100% accurate, the meter is within a factor of 2

With my new V2 IR8M, from the IPEX connector on the main PCB, I get:

(Chip - Pwr into 50 ohms/DeviationTX set power, in mW)
A7105: 25/150, 25/100, 25/30, 25/10
CC2500: 2.5/150, 1.3/100, 1.2/30, 1.2/10
CYRF6936: 1/150, 0.4/100, 0.1/30, 0.02/10
NRF24L0H: 0.4/150, 0.4/100, 0.2/30, 0.2/10

!!!

So the DeviationTx 'Power' setting is at least changing something with some chips, but not all and not accurate. Okay, these are all different chips with different maxmimum power outputs. It looks like output isn't obviously being hobbled by some universal botch on the board, since the A7105 can kick out 25mW. And sure, this is a cheap Tx mainly for close-in micro-copter pilots, so perhaps it is simply caveat emptor.

My main concern is the CC2500 lack of power - I mainly fly planes on FRSky receivers, so this lamentable output needs addressing before I use this 'Full range' (it says on the box) transmitter . The CC2500 in my modded Devo 7E can manage 55mW.

Am I missing something? Has this been addressed by firmware builds? Or is there an alternative module people are fitting to get 'full range' power i.e. closer to 100mW?

Can someone please provide a link to where I can download the newest firmware for the IR8M?

When I use the nightly builds it shows up as 2017 on my radio.
