Upgrade Software and Firmware
This thread is for official information pertaining to software and firmware updates for XtremeLink® products.
Latest update for XDP/Telemetry Station software: 07/08/08. Changes - Added Telemetry Station hardware support. Fixed problem with XDP.exe shutting down when attempting to View/Edit the settings when the XDP or Telemetry Station was plugged into a USB hub. NOTE: these programs will be renamed at some point due to the supports for both XDP and Telemetry Station hardware. Please see our XDP support page: http://www.xtremepowersystems.net/xdp.php |

Jim just a few questions regarding telemetry software and firmware:
-Can I send in 3- and 6-channel receivers for the telemetry firmware update? -Do I have to send in all my receivers at once, or can I send some of them now and the rest later? -Is there any chance that I might need to send in the receivers again for the upcoming "hop on saturation" firmware update? -How about transmitter modules? Any chance that they might need to be sent in? -When is the telemetry software going to be ready? Next week, next month, next year? Just a rough estimate please. -How long does it take at present for the firmware update from the moment you receive the packet until you ship it back? -Can I specify EMS shipping for the return packet? -Can you combine the return packet with a new order? |

I just sent mine in not long ago, and yes you will need to send in the TX module as well if it is the older version of firmware. Mine were version 1.0. In order to send them in, you need to fill out a return for upgrade form on the XPS site in which you will list out what you are sending in. They will assign a number to your shipment so they can track it and send a return email to you. The link for the form is in the XPD software section. |

jim i am not trying to start any crap but i would like to know why you have raised the price on the upgrade.i felt this was only fair of you to upgrade the system at a lower cost as this is what the system was supposed to be in the first place.29 dollars was almost ok but 39 is getting alittle out there don't you think

firmware version 3 with some problems
Hi Jim,
After sending back and getting my system updated for version 3, I have many things that are not in accordance with the user manual, I will not fly until you can explain me the reasons, here the details: 1) On the transmitter in the Advanced programming feature I should have Red Led for power setting, or green Led for hoping mode , but I also have an orange LED what should I do with this ? if I press the program button until status led turn off ( as we did for the setting of power and hoping mode ) I have one flash green led it’s the factory setting, but of What ? 2) hoping mode , I’m not an engineer I just don’t want to crash my Jet plane , you suggest hoping mode from 1 to 5 just tell me which one I should use ? for me FCC / ETSI / Adaptive/ predictive is a language that didn’t help me to make a right choice of setting. 3) The manual says that the receiver’s status led will be Red if power on transmitter is on 1 , I test and in my system its nerver Red only green even when power is settled on 1 4) Many times the status led on the receiver is rock solid orange while the current is between 5.05 to 5.09 Volt as per the manual the Orange led should be only when current drop to 4.4 Volt, or in case a bad servo make the current to drop , I made the test unplugging and replugging servos ( changing with 5 new Servo and used ) and sometime the status led is Green for long time and suddenly goes to Orange while the current didn’t drop to 4.4v and still remain in the 5.05 Volts range. 5) I test receiver in slave and Master status : I don’t see any difference it works exactly the same ! If I understand the manual a slave receiver will not work alone but only with another receiver in Master position 6) Can you give an explanation with a clear example, when should I use a slave receiver ,to resume what is a slave receiver ? Hope to get soon clear answers to my questions in order to fly with confidence using you systeme, Thanks and best regards, Dan |
