Re: Model Artwork for Taranis

Anyone have color artwork for the Horus on opentx 2.2 or know of a good tutorial for creating your own?

Trims don't actually change servos - Horus/Opentx 2.2

When I try to trim an aircraft on my new Horus running Opentx 2.2 it doesn't change anything. I hear the beeps and the display shows the trims changing but the actual servos aren't changing. I went and checked and the trim box is checked in both the input and the mix. Is there anywhere else I should...

Re: Arghhhh... let out the smoke

Ok, just wanted to provide an update. The controller works well, haven't tried a range test yet but my models see everything correctly. Now I just need to get telemetry working and I will have a more portable alternative to my Taranis x9e (tray style).

Re: Arghhhh... let out the smoke

yee haw! something finally went right with this thing. I didn't have that gimbal plugged in well. It looks like the mosfet failed open so I've got it working all the way to the radio! The short seems to have melted the solder on the right gimbal which caused a periodic short.I took it apart and the ...

Re: Arghhhh... let out the smoke

Do you all think it's more likely the gimbal or just the 9xtreme? Can I just remove the 9xtreme, install a new gimbal and reprogram with opentx? I got a tray taranis now as my main radio but I would love this as a backup and something easier to throw in a backpack. I attached full res pic didn't rea...

Re: Arghhhh... let out the smoke

Ok, doesn't look good. 1) External module doesn't turn off when I switch it on/off in protocol menu. 2) Gimbal doesn't do anything in the DiagAna menu. What should I do? I would be happy if I could get this radio going again without the 9xtreme board. Or if I could use it that would be great as well...

Re: Arghhhh... let out the smoke

Ok, I'm just realizing that my left gimbal isn't working at all :( Hopefully I can fix this as I'd love an alternative to my tray style taranis that I could throw in a backpack. I have a few replacement FETs around for a "Beefs Brushed Board" flight controller. Wonder if they could be the ...

Re: Arghhhh... let out the smoke

Wow, I turned it back on and the scrolling problem is gone. I wonder if it just got hot and burnt insulation but didn't fry the FET? There are three identical components next to the plug with all the red wires. The top one burnt pretty good. So I want to see if I can get it to talk to frsky module n...

Re: Arghhhh... let out the smoke

The 9xtreme board burnt.

It wasn't anything with the module, don't think it was even plugged in at the time. I think the gimbal power shorted against a ground somewhere perhaps?

Opentx was running on the 9x before I started with the 9xtreme board.

Arghhhh... let out the smoke

So I installed a 9xtreme in my 3dr iris branded 9x. Everything was fine, but I was having trouble getting the frsky module working, which is a seperate issue. I was opening the radio so many times I left the screws out, one thing leads to another and I shorted something and tons of smoke came out. L...
