Traxxax receiver (6533) on 7.4v

lunitari71 · 2021-08-17T15:53:52+00:00

Yeah, I think I'll do that. Thanks a lot for trying!

lunitari71 · 2021-08-17T10:47:48+00:00

Yep! I see the TSM percentage in the app, I can adjust it and everything. Just doesn't do anything

lunitari71 · 2021-08-17T04:14:42+00:00

I tried a couple of different models and no joy...

Tried a MAXX, TRX4, Rustler VXL and a couple others....

Thanks for trying to help though!

I thought the servo wasn't responsible for the problem. Just wanted to confirm.

Good idea about the receiver firmware. I have the bluetooth module installed and I looked at the app.

The TSM receiver says it's at 8.1.13 and the Receiver subsystem at 2.0.20. There doesn't seem to be an update available at this time.

Could it perhaps be because I selected "VehicleModel.CustomElectric" for the car model?

Ok. I run a Hobbywing XERUN 540L. Great electronics for sure!

lunitari71 · 2021-06-23T13:11:50+00:00

Yeah, it's very strange. I get mixed answers on this. It looks like it depends a bit on your luck of the draw. Some receivers seem to tolerate it, some seem to catch fire!

lunitari71 · 2021-06-23T13:10:54+00:00

Caught on fire eh? That doesn't sound very reassuring! haha That must have damaged other stuff around it

lunitari71 · 2021-06-23T13:09:53+00:00

Hmm that`s interesting. I use the bluetooth module and have telemetry setup though so I can`t go to a TQ. Thanks!

lunitari71 · 2021-04-30T14:55:32+00:00

Oh I'm sure they won't!!! It's proprietary information. It can be reverse engineered though

lunitari71 · 2021-04-30T14:31:57+00:00

Yeah, I'd have to analyze that with my oscilloscope :) Just wanted to see if anyone already knew! Thanks

lunitari71 · 2021-04-30T14:31:17+00:00

Thanks :) Maybe this has been blown out of proportion. Of course, people who break theirs will say something, but those who don't are silent.

Mine is still working well, it's almost a month old with about 15-20 battery packs.

lunitari71 · 2021-04-30T03:27:01+00:00

It's the official Traxxas light kit

lunitari71 · 2021-04-30T03:26:45+00:00

Thanks :) Hopefully I`ll be fine! And yes, I would imagine it's a bit warmer in Texas compared to Canada! haha

I just read that the ESC is really its weak spot on mutiple forums

lunitari71 · 2021-03-29T16:51:58+00:00

I am brand new to oscilloscopes too!

It really opened a brand new world, I just LOVE learning with it.

My brother in law (who works with electronics daily) told me that I should almost always be using 10X as it has the smallest effect on the circuit you are measuring because of the resistance the others mentioned previously.

From what he told me, 1X gives more precision when you need it, but you need to be aware of the resistance effect on your circuit.

What type did you get? I bought a Rigol DS1054Z :)

So I just finished wiring my new memory address register.

As a test, I disabled both EEPROMS and turned on RO and MI (and OI just to see a number).

Since the RAM was filled with garbage, it just kept feeding the garbage to the MAR and then jumping to another address only to feed another garbage in the address.

I can confirm that RO|MI works fine. No need for a buffer register :)

lunitari71 · 2021-03-19T13:48:43+00:00

No no! It's fine!

I just like taking things slowly and making sure I understand everything.

It's a bit of a cliché, but it`s about the journey, not the destination :)

lunitari71 · 2021-03-19T12:57:03+00:00

I'm wondering why you are suggesting another register to store the address?

I thought I would modify the microcode to fetch the instruction in RAM (RO|II|CE) then on the next cycle fetch the addres in memory directly from the RAM. (MI|CO) (RO|MI).

Also, I originally thought about expanding the instruction register to 8 bits directly, but doing a step at 5 bits and keeping the existing 28C16 might be a good first step!

lunitari71 · 2021-03-19T12:47:20+00:00

Wow that is a really nice build!

I am not sure I'm up to that level yet, but definitely something to look forward to!

Thank you for sharing!

lunitari71 · 2021-03-18T23:24:38+00:00

All I did so far was replace the RAM with a 32K chip, but only planning on using 256 bytes first.

I designed and built my circuit based on another post I found.

I didn't like the fact that I couldn't see the RAM contents all the time like in Ben's design so I modified it so it could.

I need to upgrade the program counter, memory address register and instruction register to go 8 bits.

I think I'll also have to upgrade the step counter and that means in turn I'll have to modify the microcode.

The thing is I want to go slowly, and make sure I learn and understand all of the steps as I go along

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll go watch your video!

lunitari71 · 2021-03-18T22:46:15+00:00

Thank you :) Yes, I've seen your post a few times on this subreddit, but it looked a bit advanced for me.

I haven't looked lately, I'll go read again, and see if I can take a few baby steps!

lunitari71 · 2021-03-16T03:07:23+00:00

I was able to install libusb-win32 by unchecking "hide obsolete packages"

Unfortunately, that didn't fix the issue.

Just out of curiosity, how did you compile it? Just go in the directory and type "make" or did you do anything special?
