You cannot get telemetry data from 2 modules on an X9D. Both modules are connected to the same telemetry line and will continually corrupt each other's data, only one may provide telemetry at a time. XJT needs to be set to the "disable telemetry" mode if it's to be used simulataneously wi...

Explain your setup a bit better, because you can't bind 2 receivers in different modes with just the internal module. The set up is 2013 Taranis X9D with an external XJT module in D8 mode communicating with a D8R-XP, this is flying the plane with a FBVS-01 monitoring the flight battery. The Interna...

Is there any way to change the RSSI ID of a receiver so that if you have two receivers bound to a model (D8 & D16) you can stop the RSSI values being merged and see both? (I do want both.)

[Edited] In an attempt to find out what was going on with these signals I bought a JYETech DSO150 oscilloscope - OK not a precision instrument - but better than a multi-meter. This confirmed that the R-XSR output was orders of magnitude smaller than that coming from the Taranis trainer port. Out of...

I have tried reducing the 10K to 5K and 5.5K (with what I had available) but it killed the pulsating "Master" indication. I tried reversing the polarity of the jack as per MikeB's suggestion but that also killed it from which I deduce the phase of the signal is correct. I think that also c...

Post by Kilrah » Mon Jan 13, 2020 2:01 pm You might need a pull-up resistor from the receiver supply to the PPM line then, maybe start with 10k. This is indeed the case! A single 10K resistor causes the LCD screen on the 35MHz JR Tx to pulsate "Master" as if the signal is not quite strong...

No, it is not a voltage problem. the rx outputs exactly the same voltage as the Taranis. I think you still didn't say what 35Mhz system that is. I still think it might be a polarity problem, but it could be also be that the receiver is not outputting any PPM signal. Are you sure you are not trying ...

solution If you power the receiver from its own supply, separate from the target transmitter, the you may invert the trainer signal from the Rx by connecting the ground from the Rx to the signal and the signal from the Rx to the ground of the target Tx to see if that works. Mike I didn't read this ...

@João As I understand it the problem is that Rx signal is incompatible with the 35MHz Tx input so what the Taranis is doing is largely irrelevant other than it works with a cable. I will try Kilrah's suggestion of a "pull up resistor" and if that doesn't work and you put some component spe...

Measured with a digital multi-meter: Voltage across buddy lead from Taranis: 1.00V, and when plugged into 35MHz Tx everything works! Voltage across buddy lead from R-XSR in CPPM mode: 14mV max, when plugged into 35MHz Tx connection not detected. Reversing polarity of R-XSR buddy lead makes no differ...

Is there a simple way to amplify the signal? As the Rx and Tx are powered independently and connected only by the signal cable and a common ground would reversing these and adding the Tx battery +ve to the signal cable work without destroying anything. Would a diode be necessary to stop the reverse ...

I am trying unsuccessfully to get a FrSky Rx to mimic the output of the Taranis Trainer port in Jack/Slave mode. Why? Well I guess a few like me have some perfectly functional 35MHz equipped planes but would like to use OpenTx on a Taranis to control them. By bridging the trainer switch on the 35MHz...

Having got a clean install of Companion 2.2.2 and updated the boot-loader on the Taranis 2.2.1 the installation of the 2.2.2 firmware and boot loader using the DFU utility went smoothly without issue. I conclude that attempting to upgrade the firmware on the Taranis without using the DFU utility or ...

Battery fully charged externally. Reloaded firmware and models - no change. The Taranis X9D was delivered 17/06/2013 and is the "A" model Battery,sliders and power switch were upgraded years ago. If I put the switches on the default model in the wrong positions I get the warning screen tha...

I cautiously backed up everything. Downloaded and flashed the new Tx firmware performing the check hardware compatibility. When the USB cable was removed the Exit function refused to Exit. Switched off, switching on - completely dead. Switching into USB mode worked and allowed me to restore backups....

That was it! Moved the GPS sensor 5cm away from the receiver on an extension lead outside the model and it works properly. Before it was stacked on top of the receiver. Don't understand why the receiver should cause it a problem now when it didn't before but obviously it does. Thanks once again for ...

I wondered about that so I put it on my flat roof with no obstruction higher than 10 degrees from the horizontal next to my running watch. The watch locks on in about a minute. The sensor is still seeing nothing after 15 minutes so I guess it is faulty?

If this has already been addressed I apologise but I can't find it. I am running Companion 2.2.1 from this build (companion22_2.2.1_amd64.deb) on the original Taranis X9D with LBT firmware. I have a GPS Sensor (V2) connected to an X6R Receiver and I have just noticed that it is no longer getting any...

Unfortunately, it didn't fix the D16HV2 I tried it in. Mike. That's interesting. Although I haven't tried it myself (as I eventually returned the S6R for an X6R) I received an email from a friend who had the same problem I did, which said it now worked with both of his Taranis transmitters that had...

It would appear that if you have an early Taranis with a D16HV2 RF Module then it is never going to work with a S6R Receiver unless FrSky produce new firmware. If you have a D16HV3 then all the good advice above is applicable. #1 - Where or how did you get this information? #2 - How many of those e...

I am using the Deb 64bit version (Version 2.2.0N360, Dec 4 2016):

My problems carried over from RC7

Sounds in Companion Special Functions still don't play but they do everywhere else.
Timer3 is still disabled see viewtopic.php?f=45&t=9399

This could be a Linux issue. I am using Linux Mint 18
I am using the 2.2 Amber sounds.

EDITED:
All sounds work on the Taranis.
All sounds work in the Companion Simulator
No Sounds play in Companion Special Functions

Happens that the server build script would override the new default of 3 with the old default of 2. Will be fixed in next build.

Thanks for looking into that.

Trying to answer question: When you "simulate model" you have several tabs at the bottom, the first is the radio screen and buttons. Navigate to the model setup page and check if the settings match what you had entered in companion. No they don't. There is no mention of Timer3 on the Model...

Oddly the Taranis Companion Simulator has a helicopter set up page otherwise everything else (as far as I can tell) is identical to that on the physical Taranis and in Companion. The Firmware loaded is opentx-x9d-noheli-lua-massstorage-sqt5font-en-2.2.0N359.bin

First thing to do is navigate to the model settings in the simulator and check if things there match what you set in the companion editor... Not sure what you mean. I have been using the "simulate model" in Companion and it behaves exactly as it does on the Taranis with T3 not doing anyth...

On the Companion Setup Tab I have Timer2 and Timer3 counting up when SF is UP to record the Flight and Timer3 as Persistent to record the day's total flying time. I have T1, T2 & T3 displayed on a Telemetry Screen. In the Simulator and on the Taranis T1 & T2 work as expected T3 does nothing ...

Changes since 2.2.0 RC3: "Timer 3 is now always enabled" so you can no longer select it for the build as it should be included. It appears in Companion and on the Taranis - it just doesn't work (for me anyway). http://www.open-tx.org/2016/09/06/opentx-2.2.0RC4 EDIT: I have just tried the m...

"General Settings" is the top line of the model list displayed when you first load a eepe (right above Model 01). Double click on it. I never deleted my BMP directory on the computer, just added the IMAGES directory and copied the files into it so I never realized that Companion was still...

Do you have the Pot types (S1 and S2) defined in the hardware page under Radio Settings on the radio or General Settings in Companion? Edit: Images work for me in Companion 2.2 but you need to copy them from BMP to IMAGES on the SD card directory on the computer as well as on the radio. Jim Possibl...
