FrSky D8R-ll Plus & D8R-XP

[Nige8021]

I';ve been searching, here & Mr Google, but keep getting conflicting answers  can anyone confirm that you can flash the D8R-XP firmware onto the D8R-ll Plus Rx to get PPM & RSSI outputs

I believe the hardware is identical, so the firmware can be flashed.

The hardware is identical & you can indeed flash the XP firmware over the d8r-iiplus.  I have done this and have been running it reliably in CPPM mode for some time.  Its a 30 second flash to do.  The longest bit is finding the flash software on my PC.

Makes you wonder why they have the two versions

They can sell the XP slightly more as it has CPPM output..  :p.

They have done the same with the X4R receivers.  X4R & X4RSB.  The only difference is the pin one of the resistors is soldered to.

Yes I can confirm. Mine was flashed by Peter king. See my post about compatability. So one is selling d8r-xp cheap. Just bought one for £24.50

Yours was a question about if it would work with your Tx module nothing to do with the firmware

Not like them to try to rip us off
