I was afraid you´d ask that.. lol

As a matter of fact in the end, i didn´t even need the transistors. But i gave up on trying not to use the external XTAL.

SadSack´s third hex file got it right. After i soldered it all neatly on a board and added a couple of caps, the signal was nice and clean, but i´m quite embarassed to admit what was really preventing the software from being able to detect the signal.

It turns out that at some point i commented the line #define SERIAL_SUM_PPM for testing and forgot to uncomment it .

After that it worked.

I still have to figure out how to solve that AUX1 problem now though.

Does your TX have a monitor screen where you can see each channel? If so check that the AUX 1 switch is actually doing what you expect. Are the end point settings for each channel the same? Does the AUX1 channel have to be set as a 3 position switch? If so, I know the DX6i does not easily allow this (I assume your 5 channel tx also does not) although you can get around it by programming it a via a mixer on the TX.
D

@ SadSack, Helidave1 and everyone else who helped me so far, here´s a link the the MultiWii thread where i´ve posted 2 videos showing the AUX1 thing. Maybe it can help.

Here´s what Alexinparis said:

"on your video, we can see there is only 5 rising edges on the stream.
channel 1= time difference between rising egde 1 and 2
channel 2= time difference between rising egde 2 and 3
channel 3= time difference between rising egde 3 and 4
channel 4= time difference between rising egde 4 and 5
no way to distinguish a channel 5

The soft works like this.
You can maybe double the last channel to have another rising edge on the stream."

It makes sense! So if others encounter the same problem, this is probably the answer.

I´m still trying to disassemble your hex file to try to double the last pulse, but i think i don´t know how to use AVR Studio very well.

Well i'll re post code for V3

ps can i suggest that you move AUX inut to one other pins and change code to suit. If only to see if channel can be seen in software.

edited because of wrong info.

Hi,
I have been using the above unit for some time to get a PPM and it works very well. I have been comparing it's operation with the code listed here and used it an ATTiny 2313. The 2313 gives a good solid output signal but when I use it on a tricopter I get a "glitch" of some sort. I noted the comment in the above post and wondered if this could be the cause as the TT REC ENC unit works flawlessly when I swap it over. I cannot see a problem on the scope. I realise that the above description is vague but it's the best I can describe it.
I wondered if anybody has any ideas - assembly code is beyond me !
D

Yes, by the way, even though SadSack kindly posted the code above, i´m still strugling to modify it to double the last pulse or at least insert another "clear bit, set bit" so the MultiWii software will see the 5 "rising edges" and sense all 5 channels correctly.

As a matter of fact, i decided to google and try to study a little bit of avr assembly just to try to understand and modify the code..

Just a note on the coment about the binary count above. If you open Windows "programmer´s calculator" and type "00010000" binary and click hex, it will output "10" . If you type "00100000" it will output "20" ...

you see I am wrong, I forgot about the hex value.

SadSack,

Dude... i´m PM´ing you because i need your help.

Hi Guys,

Anyone seen this yet, http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-g3-...r-dongle-65233 ?

I will dump the disk that comes with the dongle as i do not support piracy, however for $25 i seems crazy for me to build up an AVR programmer (Although i bought all the components to make it) and make up my own wireless sim dongle. I own a legit version of Reflex XTR and will only be using that, however for those with legit versions of Aerofly, etc this may be a good solution, :-).

Cheers
Rob

I don't think it's going to come with a full version on realflight. It'll will probably have a emulater program to get it started without their usb dongle. This is how I do it.

Why use software to emulate hardware....!!
Just use hardware
well Phoenix works that way and i do own a lead.
Guy puts alot of work into it.
Only same cost as mild crash with trex 600 so cheap(not the crash btw).
Just wanted wireless with phoenix.

mine is in Custom... will se how it work soon...
seem that it's a 6 channels with 2 channels hidden and not soldered (total 8 channels)... time to dig in...

Damm, :-), mine is still in Transit, probably only get it early next week, the last order i placed with them was here in 7 days.

Let us know how it does when you get it.
