OpenTX 2.0.15 and 9XR

Post by PeterV »

I flashed a friends 9XR with OpenTX V2.0.15 M64 and that all goes through fine.
It SEEMS to work in every other way than it has no way to Add, Edit, Delete, Mixer lines!
You can create an initial one, when there was none on a channel - just by using Enter.
You can 'tag' an existing (default) line, for Move or Copy, via the highlighting using Enter.
But there is no way to Add a line.... or Delete.... Or any menu...

Arrow keys just move the selection up or down.... or left and right arrows just alter the Weight on the main listed line.
Enter... Long Enter.... just go into the Mixer line if it exists, otherwise they create an entry on a blank line.

I want to ADD "After" etc. Add more mixer lines to the same channel.

If I use Enter to highlight a line, to be able to COPY it, then that makes a new line (copy) and i can edit that.... but that is not the right way to do it of course.

So HOW is it SUPPOSED to work???
Thanks.

Select line with menu, long right to add after or long left to add before selected line. Long EXIT to delete.

Oh Thanks!!!
I will try that!

Is it just that way on the 9XR (or maybe a few TX types)?
Versus Taranis having a pop up menu. Maybe that can't be done viably on the 9XR. (I forget it ER9X had pop up menus)

We had a menu but had more people complaining about it than people wanting it. I think the plan was to make it an option but it got forgotten somewhere.

Hmm, that sounds strange.. I don't remember reading about it, certainly not on this forum.. who would complain about user friendliness? Geeks?
I compare that to the early days of linux.. no way I would use it then..
So I don't think having to remember key presses for everything is the way to go, but that is just me. I normally tend to forget them as I did before we had the wonderful menus we have now in er9x. I love them.. :)
Maybe I'm too dumb to use openTX anyway??.. :) ;)
EDIT: I have just read about the key presses needed again..
Long press EXIT to delete a mix? :o Press a bit too long when you want to exit the menu and .... puufff, gone. Mix deleted.. :)

Of course not because you need to select the line first. Read fully...

Yet you used that for a couple of years successfully ;)

No, what I mean is that ER9X has also used the key combinations for years before the menu was added.

It did happen to me also when the pro was being developed.. someone made an imoortant post and I messed it up by mistake..

Of course I did also use keys in er9x. But it was a pain as I was always forgetting what they do.. Also was always overshooting the menus when navigating beteeen them. Sometimes had to go around again. A complete pain in the back side if you're at the field for example.
Now is woonnndeeerful. Top. 5 stars.. excellent.. :mrgreen:
And it will get even better as far as I know..
