I don't think the FrSky will work as it uses a different radio modulation.

@jared just tested your software changes and have to say: AWSOME! With the esky and your changes its SO MUCH EASIER to control the cf (however I already got used to using the ps3 ctrl..

Thanx very much!

Possible stupid question but: What do I have to do for the CF and the TX to communicate with each other? Flashed the ESKY-enabled firmware (I think) but nothing happens when I power up the CF while the TX is on (and vice versa... and at the same time)

EDIT: Never mind... I forgot a before the
Now it's working -- but I really really suck at it

FYI, I added a Wiki page on how to get this to work.

Great!

After getting used to it some more I currently don't want to fly with the PC client anymore - that thing now is (after some trimming and me changing the TX from Mode 2 to 1) undescribably stable but off into space at a flick of the wrist, purely awesome.

Will have to play around with the values where jared started, thanks again for that, great work!

I got my ESKY transmitter yesterday and I gotta say that it's much easier to control the flie with it although the defaults are very sluggish, especially the throttle. Jodells patch makes it much better (however I for one am increasing the roll/pitch rate). Great work!

Just in case anyone is looking to buy one of these controllers, I've had better luck when searching for the part number (000989) rather than 'ET6i'. I found one for £30 including shipping to Australia from Nitrotek which seems pretty good if you can't find (or aren't patient enough to wait for) a second-hand one.

EDIT: Just after posting this, I got an email from Nitrotek asking for an extra £17 in shipping fees (I've asked for a refund and they've agreed). If you're not in the UK, it might be worth emailing them to ask for shipping costs before ordering.

On a related note, you shouldn't need that specific model. Any 2.4GHz ESKY transmitter should work as they (from what I've read) use the same electronics and protocols in all of them.

You'll need those with the "Spread Spectrum Technology" -- I think they use other chipsets as well, not just the NRF2401L+. Anything that's described as being compatible with a Honey Bee King 3 (I think that was it...) should work, is my understanding.
