Kilrah, thanks.

Tried to perform an OTX Companion update, get this error message.

Kilrah, tried recal (making sure all pots are centered) same result. Any further suggestions / ideas?

Kilrah, I did conduct a recal. of the entire radio thinking this might resolve the issue but it did not. Is this considered a non-issue with OTX?

Kilrah, thanks.

Also, I asked you about the S2/S3 issue on the X9D+ TX (a different thread - viewtopic.php?f=97&t=7122&p=98153&hilit ... ent#p98153) any comments, suggestions?

PS I know S2 and S3 are good working pots (recently replaced because of this issue), good solder joints i.e. no issues with the soldering and connection of the two pots.

Kilrah, I see that the S2 issue was submitted back in the June 2015 time frame as a problem do you have any further information? I just upgraded to 2.1.9 and I am seeing a similar situation but S3 is installed and defined! At first S2 would not even work so I undefined (hardware screen), powered off...

Kilrah, any idea why the power off update does not work and I am forced to the SD card route?

Kilrah, thanks that gets me closer to resolving this issue. Now I get the error "could not check firmware from radio" (radio off, USB connected, profile set to FrSky Taranis 9XD+) and the firmware update process automatically ends. I am able to update the FW via the three finger solute but...

I do want to reopen this question. I should be able to connect my x9d+ (powered off state) via USB to my computer, launch OTXC v2.1.9, select write firmware icon, navigate to the location where my "opentx-taranisplus-en-2.1.9" is stored and write the FW and new bootloader to my x9d+. I am ...

Although this is an old subject area I do have a question. I had installed the 6 position rotary switch (FW v2.0.20) and it seemed to work fine for a few months. Then I noticed I was getting erratic entries when I was attempting to make a change to one of the 6posw settings. I thought it was a defec...

Kilrah, misspoke, should have said RC11 i.e. 2.2 RC11.

Can Kilrah or someone tell me if the 1st FW version that supports the addition of a 6-position rotary switch is Open TX v2.2.11? If this is not the 1st version that supports the addition of this rotary switch then what is the 1st version?

Found the solution, Kilrah once again provided the answer. With 2.0.20 I should have powered up the x9d+ rather than try this with power off via the previous FW load method.

I have a Taranis X9DP v2.0.20 OTX, kept existing OTXC 2.0.20 and installed OTXC 2.1.9. Stored "opentx-taranisplus-en-2.1.9.bin in a deeply nested file and then navigated OTXC 2.1.9 Firmware Update path to this deeply nested file. Get error message "Executable D:..path, opentx-taranisplus-e...

My X9DP has OTX 2.0.20 and I want to upgrade to v2.1.9. Backed up all files in the X9DP, kept OTX 2.0.20 application on my desktop and downloaded the OTX 2.1.9 (installed in a separate folder inside of OpenTx Companion C: drive) and made sure the settings are the same as 2.0.20 OTX. Saved the opentx...

Kilrah (and others), part of the reason I keep asking questions that must seem like I have not bothered to read the documentation is that I have not found a manual that comprehensively explains the functions of the X9D+ and this is a good example. I was not aware that use of "-" means to d...

quadfather, ok got it, another misunderstanding of the X9D+ functions.

thanks!

Kilrah, I am sure that I am using: Cell- and Cels- (please re-read my post). Additional information, it is like the X9D+ retains the last lowest reported FLVSS (Cell- / Cels-) and does not update when the voltage of the LiPo bat. transitions from lower voltage to higher voltage, does that make sense...

OpenTxCompanion v2.0.17 System: X9D+/X8R/FLVSS ----> FLVSS reports to X8R via SBus Problem: FLVSS initially reports correct battery voltage (model LiPo bat.) and this bat. voltage correctly displayed on the X9D+ Telemetry Screen ("Cels" and "Cell"). As the voltage drifts down (cu...

Will OTX v2.1 support the addition of a 6-position rotary mode switch on the Taranis X9D+?

If not, how do I add to the list of desired / requested updates to the FW?

Kilrah, I set the Tx Falisafe to "Receiver" and set my Tx controls to the desired position if a Tx / RF failure occurs and it the sys. (Pixhawk/MP performs as desired when I turn off the Tx. Do you know of any written documentation regarding Taranis that explains the Failsafe function? Onc...

Kilrah, thanks

Kilrah, Logical switches 1-6 are utilized for this model. Is that what the six boxes indicate?

I just encountered something I have not seen before with the X9D+ Tx. One of the 3 model display screens (1 of 3 screens versions for the model can be selected see photo). All other models simply have dashes but my Hexcopter model display shows boxes and dashes?? Does anyone have any idea what these...
