Thanks for the quick reply.
So the resolution of each channel is the same, but the protocol itself is just sending fewer frames per second?

I just discovered this this morning, but someone posted a nice YouTube video of the behavior here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN-HY5viLrw For me, when using a pair of QX7S TXs in master/slave BT trainer mode, the servos on the model move in a jerky or notchy fashion. I don't see this when the m...

Why not use the model backup and restore function from the model selection screen? It is much simpler: Create model backup, change sdcards, restore backup. Always in sync, even in the field! But this means backing up and restoring each model 1-by-1? My workflow is to mostly edit in Companion, but s...

You should read master radio and disconnect, save, read slave radio, copy general settings from slave radio's window, paste them into master radio window, write to slave radio. Then either save that as a new file for slave you could later get general settings from again without reading from radio, ...

A friend has two QX7 radios, and wants to be able to keep them in sync. Specifically, he wants the models on each radio to be the same. The idea is he has a backup radio in case something happens to one, or while he's flying model 1, he can give someone else his backup radio to go fly model 2, knowi...

Here's what Aloft had to say: Unfortunately, FrSky didn't provide any wiring diagram, just the description of the function of each wire. If there's official information on how it's supposed to be connected to the Horus's main board, we haven't seen it. That said, we're looking into it and will post ...

Mine never shows over 55% charge or three bars no matter how long it's charged. I am on opentx The bars are an indictation that can be adjusted, and as mentioned they could be adjusted wrong. Look at the voltage. Yup, I bet this is your problem. On mine, the top of voltage range in OpenTX didn't ma...

Thanks for reply. I was doing it in Mix along with reversal as if you reverse the Inputs (which it allows) the trim does not reverse with it (as with Taranis). So, INPUT for Rates/Expo, MIX for reversal? One of the great things about OpenTX is you can often get the same result from four different m...

+1 on the RF explorer. If you're doing Hobby / nerd-for-fun level of spektrum analysis it works great! I've even used it to find a free 5.8Ghz band for FPV (yes, I could have used an RX for this, but I had the unit at the field to show someone so I thought I'd keep using it to solve a problem I actu...

The easiest way to do this in my opinion would be to use the trainer port of the TX and therefore wired PPM to a a TX module. As someone mentioned, most LRS add-ons like DragonLink or EzUHF do exactly this, but the "wired PPM" cable length is typically inches rather than feet. I've seen so...

Yea, they're also available at HorusRC and AlotfHobbies. There's even a "three axis stick end" that gives you a pot and momentary button on the end of a gimble stick. No idea how they're wired up internally. I fired off an email to the folks at Aloft. I'll report back with their answer.

Here is my typical workflow: - Get Taranis to Bootloader screen - Connect to Mac via USB, notice that TARANIS and TARANISSD volumes are mounted - Start CompanionTX 2.1.6 - Read models do some work, push models back to Taranis - Close CompanionTX - Eject TARANIS and TARANISSD volumes in finder. - Dis...

Consumption, and select unit mAh. Sorry to be dense. When you say: "and select unit mAh", do you mean select "mAh" or "mA" (which one?) for the discovered "Curr" sensor? I'm asking because I can't see any way to select a unit to select for my calculated consu...

Hopefully this is the right forum, if not please let me know or maybe a moderator can move it. I have an FCS-150A current sensor plugged into an X6R bound to a Taranis running 2.1.3. I am very familiar with doing some fairly complex stuff in OpenTX, but I am completely new to the telemetry section. ...

I'm curious about whether I should be using the Inputs screen or the Mixes screen for most the rates, expo, curves work I'm doing. Originally, I didn't use the Inputs screen for anything, leaving the defaults alone. On the Mixes screen, in addition to mapping inputs to channels, I put all of the mod...

Oh! The A1 voltage is displayed right next to that small 3-bar graph so I assumed the bar graph was a graphical representation of A1. Thanks for the help!

I have OpenTX 2.0.13 on a Taranis. I'm bound to an a X4R receiver w/ no smart port or analog sensors connected, just leads to the channel outputs. I cannot figure out how to display RSSI in the top title bar of any of the model views. If I understand correctly, this should be under the "UserDat...

Ahh! That makes sense then. Thanks for the explanation. Not a bug then, just expected behavior given the limits of my box.

Ok, I'll check the CPU load while this is happening. It's a pretty modern CPU though, Haswell quad-code i7, nothing else going on at the same time.

Not sure if this has been reported or is even a real bug, so I thought I would start here: If I specify a fade in of 3.0 for flight mode 0, when I simulate this with OpenTX Companion, it goes much slower than 3 seconds. It takes about 6 seconds. If write this exact setup to the my TX and use it with...

I finally came back to this project after being away from it for a while and discovered that I don't really know how to search for switches on the Internet. I'm fine specifying the SPST or SPDT but it's the size I'm having trouble with. Is there a standard name for this size of switch? micro switch?...

I've got the same software with the same dongle. It accepts 8 channels.

This probably won't help you directly, but it might help rule some things out. I'm running OpenTX 2.0 on a Taranis and have been using RealFlight Interface Edition successfully. So it is possible for RF7's dongle to recognize all 6 channels from an OpenTX device.

Just a quick update in case others find this thread, the 150mm FrSky replacement receiver antenna that I linked to above is a easy replacement for the external antenna connector on the DSMX OrangeRX module. What Rob didn't say explicitly but I discovered last weekend is that no soldering is required...

Just started using a sim and I'm really happy with the practice. One thing that bugs me is how the trainer plug comes straight out the back. It makes it difficult to just set down the tx. I've looked at a few right angle adapters, but I thought I would ask here in case you all had a recommendation f...

Thanks for the reply. I like the 75% view idea. I'll try that.

Thanks for the reply! I then eliminate all software mixing etc. Do you mean mixing at the TX or in the sim software? Why did you choose this? What is the advantage? I'm not challenging people's choices, I'm trying to understand why they made them. From my point of view, using the exact same model on...

I have seen a few tutorials online that suggest creating a new model on the Taranis in order to use a flight sim like Phoenix or RealFlight. If I intended to use the flight sim software for training and I would prefer to use my exact tx setup with my mixes, expo, etc with the simulator. I also would...

Sorry for the newbie question. I'm pretty new to electronics, but trying to learn quickly. Thanks in advance for any help. I really want to replace at least the long momentary toggle (SH?) and probably it's non-momentary partner on the left side (SF?). I've already broken SH, I bet I'll break SF soo...

I'm sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place, let me know and I'll delete the post. One of the first things I did with my new transmitter was accidentally break the momentary switch SH off. I'm awesome that way :-/ That got me thinking about the various switches I'll actually use and I'd like to swap ...
