https://github.com/offer-shmuely/frsky-accst-uni-rx-scripts
and here (Ethos): https://github.com/strgaltdel/Ethos-Uni-Receiver.

Configuration LUA and Basic scripts for non-ETHOS radios: UNI-Setup7.zip. (changed to support S6R/S8R).
Statistics LUA script non-ETHOS radios: XxRstatv5e.zip.
Activation BAS script for erskyTx radios: ActivateBas.zip.

For the S6R and S8R see UNISXR.pdf in the next post. UNI-SxR script (erskyTx,openTx, EdgeTx)files are in UNI-SxR.zip, Ethos script in next post.

UPDATE to version 85. Fix the servo rates enable setting was still specific to the bound Tx, it is now specific to the Rx.

UPDATE to version 84. Fix the problem UNI didn't bind to a XJT-Lite module. Allow to invert CH7 (SBUS pad) on S6R. Re-initialise CC2500 after 30 missed packets.in case corrupted by spark ignition.

UPDATE to version 83. Support S6R/S8R. Fix the problem that the servo pulse period was set specifically for each Tx. The periods are now specific to the Rx. Fix a bug on RX8R and RX8R-PRO where when using SBUS-IN and the main Rx loses signal, the servo outputs may freeze until channel 1 changes.

UPDATE to version 57. This fixes a bug where enabling the SBUS channel map was not retained through a power cycle. (Version number display corrected from 56 to 57)
Sub-Master UNI firmware for the X8R(X6R), X4R, RX8R and RX8R-PRO: uni_57sm.zip.
Sub-Master (Update) UNI firmware for the RX4R and RX6R: RX4R_75sm.zip. This fixes a bug where enabling the SBUS channel map was not retained through a power cycle. Also fixes bug in version 74 where channel 1 wasn't working.

UPDATE to version 59 for RX8R-PRO: UNI_rx8rpro_59sm.zip. This fixes a bug where a channel output on servo 6, 7, 8 or the SBUS as servo very occasionally had the wrong value (was 940uS too long). V58 fixed a bug where setting the SBUS output to be a servo output was not activated through a power cycle. Also includes SPort polling rate reduction if too much data is being submitted.

VERSION 80 adds FBUS support, for control and telemetry, to all receivers (on the SPort signal). X6R,X8R,X4R etc. enable telemetry, regardless of how the bind was done, when not activated.
G-RX6 and G-RX8 allow the built in vario to be disabled, hold the "bind" button pressed for 4, or more, seconds to toggles the setting. The blue LED will flash 3 times to indicate the action.

Scripts for ETHOS in the next post.

Need some help?​

Please check out the "Universal ACCST Guide.PDF" in post #2. It covers the basics for installing and using UNI RX.
 
@shmuely - you mention "Contribute to.. development" above but i'm not seeing the UNI firmware source code in the repo? are you looking for OSS contributors or is the project not OSS?
 
UNI is not an open source project, the code belongs to aloft & mike.
They are kind enough to let us use it (although i think they originally ment to sell it)
I keep the binary in my repo with better name, so you will not need tables to know what version go to each rx,
No source code here

Nope - no source code. We do not want the clone (clown) companies to get their hands on the code.

Code is all Mike. It is not open source.

Always wanted to offer it for free. Only reason we charge for installation is just to cover our time for installing on customer supplied receivers. The shipping takes longer than the updating.
 
I must also thank Mike once again for his tireless and very good work. UNI Firmware has found many friends in Germany and also in Europe.
 
I did use the LUA script to get the codes to request the unlock codes to aloft by email but so far got no reply how can I get the unlock codes?
 
We have not received any requests lately... If you emailed us after Friday you would not have gotten a reply until Monday morning. If that is the case, check your spam folder. We ALWAYS try to respond the next Business day at the latest... I check for requests before leaving for the day, and first thing in the morning. As well as multiple times during the day.
 
Occasionally people email a request to my email. I have forwarded to the main box.
 
By the way, I responded with unlock codes on Jan 7th. That is why you did not receive anything after that.
 
Philip, is your email working? We are getting your emails, and we have replied with the codes back on Jan 7th.

Hello I just replied your previous emails with the unlock codes went to my junk mail, and I am sorry about it, I was getting nervous since I was stuck with my receiver's
Definitely I really appreciate your excellent CS
Again I am sorry and thank you
