Trying to keep the thread alive, I too would like to know if there has been any further progress on a PC based editor for my Futaba 12Z

Hi,

I would be interested too, just for the fun of it.

Based on what RCFan had already figured out I like to add the following info for the FASST system on the 14MZ.

0x00062- modulation (0=G3, 1=PCM, 2=PPM, 3=FASST?)
0x00063- region code? (0=America, 1=?, 2=Europe/UK)
0x00064- frequency code? (2=35MHz, 7=72MHz, 0x0B=2.4GHz?)
0x00065- Channel index (for 72Mhz, 1=ch11, 2=ch12, ... 0x17=ch33, etc., 0x25=FASST 14Ch ?)

Cheers

Kay

KCT - can you elborate a bit more. Do you think the TM-14 module has the same 93C46 eeprom? I checked the code and it was all 0's - so I came to the conlcusion that the eeprom may be different. I have changed the code on the 35mhz module several times to experiment and it works well. I can now use the 35MHZ module (europe) in a Radio set for America. Now if we can find a way of changing the code on the TM-14 that would be great as I would be able to have the module match the region of the radio.Any further help would be appreciated. Mohan

Hello, i have received my module from my local waranty center, and he say that was impossible to modify like the other module because there is a microcontroleur behind the eeprom, that block the readind and writing.
The only solution it's to unsold the eeprom

This is pict of the module.

After looking of module I think the way to acces at it, it's by the white flat connector, that it's ( i think ) the connector for futaba, it's direct on the eeprom.

just make a cable for it

Hi,
Looking at the photo it seems your are right. The way to go is this white connector.
You can check if pins 1 (white triangle),2,3,4,5 and 8 are directly linked to some pins on the white connector with a simple ohm meter. If this is the case, a simple new connector that fit is needed to reprogram the eeprom.
Please tell us what you found if you test it.

Ok after few test i have find this wire have perfect contact, the other wire of eeprom with this 2 pin's have just a middle connection, like 0.5/1 on my ohm meter, on del mode .

Hi there, I have access to a 14MZ module and wanted to use it as a separated transmitter module for a DIY project. Does anyone knows the full pinout of these new Futaba modules and the exact protocol to communicate with it?

Thanks in advance
