The taranis transmitter is placed into boot loader mode using the 3 switches. I connect the USB cable and the radio says USB connected and when connected to the pc it the transmitter says USB connected. I then hear the pc beep and it will show in device manager under USB connections the problem is the radio and sd do not show up as storage devices i.e. Sd card or taranis transmitter in file explorer. Because of this companion 2.2 I cannot write model files to radio. What is she strange is I can flash firmware if I turn the radio off and connect to companion.
I have tried this on 3 windows 7 pc's. I tried the recommended zateg driver installer app from the opentx download page.
I just need a way to write model files from companion which requires the radio and sd to show up as storage devices
Thanks
Crunch

Re: Companion 2.2 no sd or transmitter show on pc
Are you powering the radio on holding the two horizontal trims inwards to start in bootloader mode?

Which three switches? As Mike says, Bootloader mode is entered by holding the rudder and aileron trim levers towards the middle of the transmitter while turning on the Tx.

The radio is in boot loader mode see orginal thread. there is only 1 way to put the radio in boot loader mode with the 2 horizontal trims inwards and pressing the power button.
My issue is the sd card and the transmitter do not show up as storage devices so u cannot write or read models or settings

Could be something like this, is your radio a Taranis-QX7 ?

You probably screwed things up with that since that is only for one specific purpose that is not what you're looking for.
Connect in bootloader mode and go in your device manager, check you can find "FrSky Taranis Bootloader". Right-click on that, select uninstall, tick "Remove Driver" and OK. Disconnect and reconnect.

Solved the issue was the zetag driver on the opentx download pageit is not needed windows 7 has everything needed
