Radio - JR & Spektrum DSM > DSM for all
 
 
Isaac FKey Veteran - Location: Panama Republic of Panama -

Hey I have a JR XP783 that is a 7 chanel TX. If you check the add, it says DM9 (JR 9 chanel)

Also, if you check the one for Futaba it say DM8 8 chanel for the MZ.

Do you undertand this?



THX,


Isaac

This is a note from Horizon

As you know Horizon has always focused itself in serving our customers as best as we possibly can. This is done in many ways. The obvious would be the Team's support in the field, Customer service here at Horizon, Product support both internally and externally, and perhaps a less obvious but an important form of serving, would be to listen to our customers needs. Products like the Blade CX, 8711 servo, 9303, many of the Hobbyzone products, EFL products are all a direct response to listening to what our customers need to have a good experience with this great hobby.

In the interest of listening to our customers, and due to the almost overwhelming feedback we've received, Spektrum has decided to release modules for most of the popular JR and Futaba module radio systems. I know almost all of you have asked at one point or another when Horizon was going to produce DSM modules - so I thank you and hope our response is affirmation we do listen to our customers. So it's great news again, the Spektrum Team has done it again and produced a plug-and-play module system that will plug right into your 10X, 10sx, in fact all the 10 series, plus the 8103, and 9303 systems. Although these modules will plug into your 10ch systems, there are only 9 PPM output channels available which limits us to only 9 channels in the receiver. In the case of all Futaba module based radios- the PPM output is limited to 8 channels, this includes the 14 and 12mz systems..

Up to now, there have been questions about the speed of an aircraft module system and we are happy to report that the system will be slightly faster than you current system in PCM mode. It will however, be slightly slower than the DX7 and future ground up systems. Backward receiver compatibility is an extremely high priority for the Spektrum team and our customers, but unfortunately, the module interface does not afford us with a way to support the DSM1 AR6000 parkflyer receiver. The module will be compatible with the AR9000, AR7000, and the AR6100 receiver as well as all upcoming DSM2 receivers.

That would be the number of PPM channels output by those brands of radios. Except the 12/14MZ Futaba only has 8 fully proportional PPM channels, my guess would be JR has 9.

I for one will hope that Xtremelink does start shipping soon. If not I guess I will be waiting for Nomadio to release something.

Thanks for posting that, helo_chris. That answers my questions! Very, very good news for sure.

I still thinks it's worth waiting to see what Futaba is going to release
We did see what they released a plastic black 6 channel peice of crap , where you been??

Those prices I think are appropriate. $100 would be nice, but I doubt anyone really thought it would be that cheap. At the posted pricing structure, I might have to buy two. It's too bad the 14mz couldn't handle more, but I'll accept 8, assuming latency is also as stated.

Any word on telemetry with these SS module systems?

Spektrum already has M8/M11 modules so the tooling is done. If they wanted to come out with ATX stuff I'm sure they could.


The M11 and Stylus module plastics are different.

The BNC connector is probably the antenna mount.

It is an RP-SMA connector and it is for the antenna.

Quote 
Does anybody know how the modules are powered?


Powered via the module interface in the transmitter.

The 9 Channel receiver is "telemetry ready". It has a "DATA" port that exports QOS info and link timing to a future external telemerty transmitter. The DATA port is currently used for an external device called "FLIGHT LOG" that displays radio statistics so that you can see how solid the link is.

Thanks for the update Paul, and congrats on the new product announcement. Care to speculate about the timing for a Stylus version of the module?

Sorry, there are no plans to make a Stylus module.

Could one of the modules being offered possibly be adapted to fit a Stylus with a little good ol'-fashioned RC fabrication and soldering?

I am glad to see there will be future "ground up" systems. That's really the future of 2.4.

Those prices were also retail price, so maybe they will be between $200 and $250? Either way I'm getting one for my 9303. 2.4ghz and a faster radio, woooowoooo!

Maybe it isn't quite as fast as a 2.4ghz radio, but I don't notice any speed problems with my 9303 in the first place, so anything quicker is just a bonus to me.

I bet these modules will be the hottest selling thing to ever hit our hobby. It's going to be crazy!

Modification

Must there be any software/hardware updates to use these modules? Can we switch back and forth between dsm and ppm modules anytime?

I would like to be able to use my pcm receivers for my fleet of planks and have dsm for electrics and helis, all with one transmitter.
