Re: Selecting switches on Mixer page

Are you trying to set up the switch as source for the mix channel or as a switch with MAX as source. You don't want to use a switch as both, if you use a switch as source switch should be ---. In any case move the cursor to either source or switch (whichever you are selecting) and click the enter wh...

Re: Vario with EdgeTX, FS-IA10B and FS-CAT01

The FS=CAT01 is an altitude sensor not a vario. I'm not sure but I don't think Flysky makes a vario. This thread explains it more: https://github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/issues/624 There has been lua scripts that attempt to use the altitude sensor as a crude vario but I don't kn...

Re: Taranis/D8RIIplus binds but won't move servos

Edit: Deleted post I didn't understand the problem which I believe is that Companion allows setting the channel range below 1-8 for access and the transmitter does not and doing so will not work with the R4 receiver. I haven't seen the specifications for the access receivers so perhaps setting the c...

Re: D8 Receiver binding lost.

D8 does not have model match so no need for receiver numbers. Any D8 receiver will respond to any D8 model in the same transmitter so you need to be careful to select the correct model. And in 8 years with 15 D8 models in my X9D I've only made that mistake once. I don't know why a receiver would los...

Re: More 9xd se 2019 questions

The SD card contents were unchanged from 2.3.12 to 2.3.14 so you can use the V38 contents and just edit the opentx.sdcard.version file in the root of the SD card and change 2.3V0038 to 2.3V0036 to get rid of the expecting SD card version message. Really strange that you could flash 2.3.14 form the S...

Re: Taranis 9xd Plus Firmware

No you can upgrade it to 2.3.x He is saying you will not be able to upgrade the X9D plus to 2.3.12 (unless you already have it) because Companion will only download the latest version of a release which for 2.3 is 2.3.14. If it were me I would update both of them to 2.3.14 before moving anything acr...

Re: D6FR Rx binds with Taranis but no telemetry

The sensors populate the screen as soon as you do the discover. You should get RSSI, A1 and A2 even with nothing connected to A2. I'm using home made voltage divider sensors, but don't connect the ground to the battery either.

Re: New beta version of openXsensor (=openXvario)

I hope this will be an option with default to old pin so as to not break compatibility with all the existing sensors and all the old drawings and information. I would hate to have to rewire a sensor just to make a program change (or try to remember to change my config file).

Re: Taranis X9D Bricked.

Try it powered off, it uses completely different methods powered on and powered off. Powered off uses the dfu loader burned into the processor and not openTX bootloader and can't be bricked by a bad load. It also reloads the openTX bootloader. Try a different cable too.
