Introduction
The Turnigy 9XR Pro transmitter uses ersky9x open source firmware and a Micro-SD card to
make exchanging programs and data with a computer easy and convenient.
This manual explains how to use the computer to keep the 9XR Pro firmware up to date and to
copy new voice and other files to the transmitter. It shows how models can be programmed and
stored using the eepskye desktop program. Finally it provides information on what to do if the
transmitter encounters problems and needs to have the firmware replaced.
Communication between Transmitter and Computer
Two methods are available for transferring files:
1. Micro-SD card: Involves physically moving a storage card between the transmitter and
the computer to transfer files in either direction. This method can be used with
virtually any operating system, including Windows, Macintosh and Linux.
2. USB cable: Uses a direct USB connection to enable the computer and the transmitter to
"talk" to one another.
Method 1: Micro-SD Card (any computer)
The ability of the 9XR Pro transmitter to read from and write to a Micro-SD card allows files to
be directly transferred in either direction between the transmitter and the computer.
The Micro-SD card holder is located under the rubber flap on the bottom of the transmitter. The
card slot is located between the mini-USB connector and the audio jack, as shown below. Insert
the card into the slot with contacts facing up and make sure it latches into place.
