Re: Modell transfer Taranis to X9E

Same problem here. Setups which use LS on the X9D will not function correctly on the X9E without modification, which is a PITA for authors of 'canned' setups. Not the fault of the OTX devs, but of FrSky not adopting a consistent control ID mapping.

Re: F3F glider setup

Hello Mike So, why don't you apply aileron differential within inputs, instead of mixers ? Diff at the Input level is applied to the stick input, and will reduce the aileron response on one side, which is not what we want. To implement aileron diff, you must apply the diff at the mixer level, indiv...

Potential issue with F3F setup version 3.0.0

Gents, a potential issue has been spotted in 3.0.0 - the 'catchall' line for the aileron input has incorrect source. Please see blogpost for more details and simple fix.

Re: Standard Glider Templates

Flashing is easier with OpenTx v. 2. If you have r2940 already flashed, then upgrading to v. 2 is easy enough, via C9X (have a look in OpenTx University or RC Groups for instructions). Thereafter, you can uninstall C9X and start using OpenTX Companion. The version of OTXC should follow the version o...

Flashing instructions

Unless you actually need v2, I'd think twice about reflashing just yet. r2940 is very stable.

Re: Standard Glider Templates

There are two distinct parts to setting up flaps on a sailplane:
  1. Servo calibration (i.e. setting the end points and balancing the two flaps)
  2. Applying an offset to achieve the correct neutral.
The first is done in the Servos tab, the second in the Mixers tab.
All is explained here.

Re: Spoiler -> elev compensation trim.

I believe you can do it by inserting two new lines in the elevator channel. The key is the MULT operator in the second line. Elevator channel line 1: Sr...

Re: openTx is moving to github!

Google Code is still open for business which is a little confusing- I submitted an issue (re diff) to GC a few days ago and it was not carried over into Github, so have cross posted. BTW as an occasional 'issue raiser' I find the Google Code interface more understated and pleasing. Having some defau...

Re: FrSky Tx (X12D)

Looks great! A couple of suggestions. OpenTx is crying out a couple of linear sliders on the front facia (side rotary levers don't count!). The MPX 4000 has these and they are much better than pots because you can feel the position (with pots, you can only guess). Applications: adjusting diff and sn...

Failsafe problems with X8R receiver

I'm experiencing odd behaviour with failsafe, using the X8R receiver. Basically the rx can't make up its mind whether to get its failsafe settings from the rx or the tx. Steps to reproduce: 1. Set the failsafe directly in the rx (by moving the controls and pressing the f/s button) 2. Test by switchi...

6-servo F3F glider setup, with documentation. This is a fairly straight port of a competition setup developed originally on a Multiplex 4000.

Yes, channel names are fully implemented in Taranis, even shown on the channel monitor :) Great, so we can upload setups to the Taranis and change channel names there... that's going to make a big difference!

I don't have an EEPROM as I'm using C9X purely as an editor and sim (to port some Multiplex 4000 recipes).

The .eepc file which is giving trouble was saved from the v1.26. I've posted it in here:
