Re: Recording custom sound files using Audacity

A much easier program to use to generate your own sound files is TTSAutomate. It automatically saves the files in the correct format for OpenTX.

Flashing the receivers using OpenTX already exists using the transmitter. Couldn't be much easier.

Re: Looking for help with fixing/improving Trainer/Student behaviour.

I use this system for training, plus I also have a switch so that the student only has control of aileron and elevator as an alternative to full control. To give control, I use one of my two momentary switches. I find the momentary switches really useful with OpenTX for a variety of applications, an...

Re: Tranais X90

I sold all my Specktum receivers for more than the cost of new FrSky ones, though as Kilrah says you can use the multimodule with them. If you have the FrSky ones you can have the benefit of the FrSky telemetry system.

Re: Replace RS with momentary switch Taranis X9D?

I replaced one of the three position switches with a second momentary switch. Quite easy, a bit of soldering, and reconfigure OpenTX to recognise the new momentary. Would this help?

Re: S8R won't go into self check

Sounds like you have not set up the self check switch correctly, either way it looks a bit complicated, you don't need a curve. It shouldn't go into auto level mode, it does a distinct up/down movement on the surfaces a couple of times. Full instructions on setting the SxR can be found here in the &...

Re: Need Help With Time Alerts on Taranis Q X7

Why not use the momentary switch to call out the time when it is pressed? That way you can find out how long you have been up without an annoying callout every 5 minutes. I use this switch to give a range of telemetry readings at once, including the time elapsed.

Do check that the function of each facet of your model setup works as expected on your model before flying. Occasionally not everything is converted exactly.

Re: Throttle cut using logical switch. (abandoned).

Basically the OP wanted a throttle cut without using extra receiver channels, and wanted to do this using logical switches. My suggestion was to have engine idle set at about -80 and use a software throttle cut which would set the throttle at -100 and thus stop the engine.

Re: Throttle cut using logical switch.

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.
