Final Testing of Your Eggtimer TRS
To test your Eggtimer TRS TX, first connect the battery. The PWR (RED) light should
immediately light up. (If it does not, immediately unplug the battery and go to the
Troubleshooting section). You should hear a long beep indicating that it’s going through the
power-up sequence, then it should start beeping slowly for about 45 seconds. You will also see
the little red LED on the RF module flash briefly in sync with the buzzer. This means that it’s
looking for an Eggfinder LCD receiver to pair up with (more on that later).
If it doesn’t pair up with a LCD receiver, it will start beeping quickly for about 30 seconds,
indicating that it’s looking to see if a programming cable is connected. If not, then it will
pause, you will hear one more long beep, then it will start “chirping” which indicates that it’s
starting a “Ready for Flight” phase. At that time, you will also see the red LED on the RF
module blink on briefly about once per second as the GPS data is transmitted; if you leave it
alone for awhile, the 1S (amber) LED should come on as the GPS module picks up enough
satellites to get a fix. This could be as long as 10 minutes if you are testing it indoors, so be
patient. Once that happens, you know that it’s working, congratulations! To turn off the
Eggtimer TRS, simply disconnect the battery. If you want to use a power switch on the
Eggtimer TRS, please consult the Eggtimer TRS Users Guide; there are GPS considerations
that need to be taken into account.
To test the Eggtimer TRS with an Eggfinder LCD receiver, configure your receiver for 915
MHz, ID=0. Turn on the Eggfinder LCD receiver, then connect the battery to the Eggtimer
TRS. The Eggtimer TRS will start beeping slowly while it’s handshaking with the LCD
receiver, after about 10-15 seconds you will see
