Basically this routine has no direct effect on the servo whatsoever. All it does is sets the throttle channel to -100 no matter where the throttle stick is. Then once switch E is held down for between 3 and 5 seconds AND the throttle stick is fully down it will enable the throttle stick to work agai...

Jim I have used this for several years on all my small models and it works fine, last used on Saturday. Just programmed it into Companion and again it works perfectly. Took my 5 minutes to enter it again. The operating system you use with a PC will make no difference. On one of the updates, OpenTX c...

Hi Jim Look at L02. You have put !L03 each time instead of L03. The ! in front means, L03 is not true. You might need to check everything, as sometimes ! is used and sometimes not. Its a bit annoying, OpenTX lists all the ! options before the normal options. You need to scroll down the list further.

Hi Jim Almost sure the error is in a little bit you highlighted. ...... shows a "+=" in the place where yours shows ":=".... This is the multiplex feature on the mixer. The "+=" means add the line to the previous one. The ":= " means replace. Replace.JPG On the mixer the throttle setting is normally...

Jim Have a look at my documentation on this forum. https://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=8724 If you go to the How To part 1 section there is a throttle cut there. Not sure what you mean by no channels left, I presume you mean receiver channels, as there are loads of transmitter channe...

Because I don't want the motor to stop when idling as when you are 3Ding the worst thing that can happen is the motor to stop and then the ESC takes a couple of seconds to start the motor back up again. You don't get that linear throttle response. Have you checked the settings on the ESC? Often you...

There's full documentation in this section of the forum, just above your post.

OpenTX Documentation

Section 7 covers updating the firmware on the Taranis, and section 6 covers telemetry.

Thank you rcyoda, it was broken. Correct version now uploaded.

I presume you mean programming for the 6 axis accelerometer. It was never implemented by the programmers. I think there was some problem getting the data out of the accelerometer. It is still sitting there as one of the issues from May 2016.

No the Linker does not work with the 12S as master as far as I know.

Depends on whether it stays at last mode selected, or more likely restarts sequence.

You will have to use a separate channel and tx switch to turn the light on and off. Something like this:

2.2 does a better job of conversion than 2.1 did. Sliders seem to be the only real problem, if you use a slider for flaps, check that function carefully. Thats what worries me ... i use sliders for crow brakes in 3 gliders..one of them even uses both sliders.. left for crow and right for camber/ref...

I believe that companion converts them? So, not a big deal? :) Yep. Although going from 2.0 to 2.2 there have been lots of improvements so there still is some manual work. Handling of telemetry changed entirely in 2.1. But everything related to model control is maintained, it's only "accessory stuf...

2.2 does a better job of conversion than 2.1 did. Sliders seem to be the only real problem, if you use a slider for flaps, check that function carefully. Basically, when I went to the X10 and 2.2, I converted all my planes (20) on the Companion, tidied up some of the programming to be a bit more con...

1. You will need to redo any telemetry as that is now quite different. However they sensors you have work fine. 2. Go straight to 2.2 not 2.1.Make a backup of your SD card and your models first. 3. The sounds are different. Copy your custom sounds onto the SD card after installing the 2.2 SD card fi...

Now that I have used these documents I am even more impressed - very well done. While working on my project I discovered a newer way to create sound files that is far easier than the previously suggested methods. www.balabolka.com - free download and use. Simply type your text, FILE "Save Sound Fil...

If you look at the "How To" section of my OpenTX documents in this section of the forum, you will find there is a smart throttle cut/arming routine which is very simple, but almost foolproof. Not only does it require the throttle to be at zero, but the switch has to be activated at between 3 and 5 s...

Hi Rcdiy I haven't updated any of your issues yet. Life has been very hectic the last few months outside OpenTX and even the chance to fly. I have also been waiting for 2.2.2 to emerge and then do one big update. I assume people who download the docs will read some of the comments on here and see if...

There is an open issue on the S2 mapping. Hopefully cured 2.2.2 I agree its a right pain with no progress bar and did ask for one but no joy. If you look in the bottom left hand corner of the Companion screen you will get a writing file message which disappears as soon as the file is written. Not id...

Thank you for those comments. Good point about the illustrations. Nobody else has commented on that! As for the switch diagram. I'll have to work on that. I ran out of time/effort/patience/coffee when I was finishing that section off. There will have to be an update soon to correct a number of omiss...

Don't know which set of documentation you are referring to, but the set I have posted in this very topic is correct and clearly states the radio should be switched off:

Could the text in the edit settings menu be improved to clarify things?

Just checked some of my models. The RSSI warnings are not reset to default levels.

At the very least, the boxes are unclear. As far as I can see, It was of some use with the Taranis, as a 32k bin file was stored in the directory, however it has no effect whatsoever with the Horus. I will alter my docs too to clarify this. I think you are right not to rely on it doing model backups...

So what is the enable automatic backup before writing box for:

Hi Rcdiy, Point taken for the LUA scripts, Another change to make. However, had a play with the backup, and I think it is a bug. I have found that nothing is saved in the backup files location despite a lot of different loading and saving. The models are saved in the file directed by the "Save as" c...

Please note, neither of the above references are for the same manual as this.
