I get many warnings on my x10s, sdcard version incorrect, throttle warning, and it goes onto 'emergency warning' where the screen goes black with the switch going to red. One switch also triggers the warnings. I'm on 2.2.4. The sdcard has been changed, the formatting checked and the contents redownl...

I am changing over to Open TX from FrOS on my X10S. I have managed to change to a Taranis version and back to FROS but Companion won't pickup on the right software using my Mac. I downloaded Companion 2.2.4 and deleted previous versions. What does the file look like and where can I find it so I can ...

I have just changed to 2.1.8 on my A Taranis and need the correct settings to go with FrSky vario and GPS, is there a page which I can glean the info from?

Also I keep getting the 'no sounds on SD card' screen despite having tried numerous ways. I have just put Beth on but get only zero m/s.

Thanks, the cockpit is a relatively large area for a 5m w/s but with four batteries and servo leads for 9 leads, I have made a small shelf higher up at the back and will try out again tomorrow.

Hi, A tinny noise that drowns out the speech and vario sounds the higher the volume. At first I thought it was the earpiece I was using but not using it made no difference to the sound.

I am getting an audio noise when I use the GPS sensor, its so bad I can't use the earpiece, as I turn the volume up it gets worse making the sound unusable. I have used the lower rate vario without problems and a new earpiece to try and sort the problem but no luck. Any suggestions?

I am using Open TX 2.0.15 with a DF82 RX, I am getting variable results from A1 (RX power), the TX tells me I am getting from 3.6v to 6.4v, overtime I go back and check the battery (3S lipo), switch and SBEC I am getting consistent results which agree with what should be happening, I have cross chec...

Many thanks for this, its making sense now. I have always started with the higher figure and worked my way back to whats needed rather than the lower figure and worked upwards.

They were in the model on the flaps and at first connected. Testing the movements sent them into stall and killed them.

So, if I reduce my 'weight' to 4/5(80%) then I will be back to standard servo setting of 100%?

I note that I used two KTS DM125mg servos on another gliders flaps without problems.

Frsky and Corona analogue and digital servos with x9 rx. The 125% figure would account for it, all the other servos I reduce the throw for use around the control surfaces.

Why does my Taranis overdrive servos to stalling point? I do not have any boxes ticked for extended trim just using 100_0_-100. This applies to analogue and digital servos using throttle source at 100 weight. Servos don't last long in this state! I am using 2940.

Yes, another new aerial installed, green foil cyanoed down and signal checked.

Solder had crept inbetween the wire and its sheath!

See pic, under the soldered connection you'll see the green strip which moved as I moved the hot glue patch to solder a new aerial.

If you look at the aerial soldered connection, there is a thin strip of green foil (about 1.5mm wide) underneath that terminates soon after. I'll see if I can get a close up.

Whilst replacing the aerial I lifted off the hot glue on the board inside the tx and a thin piece of green foil lifted up, it folded back again and I soldered the aerial and closed up. The tx switches on ok but I do not have sufficient distance on the signal to fly, any suggestions?

Hi, A couple of issues: 1/ My 'ENT' button has dropped down below the fascia, is this general/a loose board inside/overuse? 2/ I have a frsky vario connected to a X9R via the smart port, all I get is a constant tone and 'telementry connected' speech with a flashing red light. Any suggestions where t...

I put a question about flashing at the end of the flashing topic, I have a similar problem, code 1-dfu util not finished. I am stuck on the original firmware version. Can't use my Mac, so borrowed a PC laptop using Vista, it may end up down the bottom of the garden with my Macbook......... I have un...

I'm in a similar pickle, all I get is dfu util code 1 (did not finish properly). This is using windows vista, I have uninstalled and installed a number of times without any success. I'm too tired to heave the laptop out, any ideas?

Rob, Thats magic, works well, saved me a lot of anguish. I have used the default flight mode to control all ele changes in the flight modes. I shall have to remember that one.

thanks, I'll try that out.

I would like to program a elevator trim to override all the flight mode settings and just have one common elevator trim, does this sound doable? At present you need to trim each flight mode so the default may not suit the landing mode so you need to trim each one before landing. Often I fly in diffe...

Yes, I have a Windows OS disc unused, hadn't thought of that, welldone!

Thanks, there are no more updates for the puter so its a new one or put up with it.

Cheers

Hi, I want to start using the software prior to my Taranis delivery, I have downloaded Companion 9X and the V1.27 update with no success, it will not run on my macbook (OS 10.5.8), any suggestions?
