Re: OpenTX 2.1 released!

Thanks Kilrah, I don't know how but I had missed the 'long press' on the source field to cycle through options. Works fine now.

Re: OpenTX 2.1 released!

Not sure if this is a real issue or just my stupidity but I am unable to adjust a global variable in special functions using a slider. I am unable to select any slider, pot or channel in the list using the transmitter. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? I am following this guide ... http://o...

Taranis+Spektrum trainer port capabilities and requirements

Using an old transmitter I converted it to a dumb buddy box with an arduino programmed to provide ppm out. It works fine when connected to the Taranis but not an old Spektrum DX6i. I am thinking that maybe the ppm signal needs to be inverted relative to the way I have it set up for the Taranis, i.e....

Re: Open-Tx/Companion 2 for Linux

I am keen to try out 2.0.2 as soon as it is a published milestone. I am new to github but managed to compile OpenTX Companion and firmware 2.0.1 from a terminal as Ubuntu downloads are not yet available. My question relates to using github as I need some education; 1. instead of doing a "git cl...

Re: OpenTX 2.0.0

Most of the options are for 9x/9xr radios which have limited program memory and can not fit all options at once. Almost all features (voice etc) are always available for the Taranis. The easiest way o find out what makes sense for Taranis is to check the fw selection page in companion. You see all ...

Re: OpenTX 2.0.0

Also, I am wondering why the change to issuing redhat .rpm files instead of debian/ubuntu .deb 32 and 64 bit versions that were available previously?? AFAIK Ubuntu linux has a significant share of the linux market so they should be catering to that. The change of software distribution packages has ...

Re: Sv: OpenTX 2.0.0

Another option is to install and use the tool called alien. Alien will allow you to install rpm packages on Ubuntu/Mint. You can even convert a rpm package to a deb package. I just did the second alternative to the Companion 2.0.0 package and installed the result on a Mint machine. Worked just fine...

Programming Throttle hold

I have successfully managed to get a 'Throttle Cut' facility linked to the momentary switch SH. I think I'm learning Open Tx fast and I'm only at it two days or so. Now I want to create a 'Throttle Hold' facility. Why? For safety when I'm in the pits area with my Nitro planes and I accidentally bump...

How do I delete a profile in Companion9x?

As the title says how do I delete a profile in Companion9x? In playing around with the software prior to receiving the radio I created a number of profiles. Now that I have the radio I would like to simplify my setup at least while I'm learning. Edit. I just found the answer here http://openrcforums...

Re: Ubuntu 13.04 Firmware download problem on Taranis

Cheers. That was it exactly. I just realised that the 0.7 version was put in /usr/local/bin/dfu-util and that needed to be configured under Burn -> Configure. :oops: One more query, see attached. Just wondering why the original firmware is much larger than the most recent version. Struck me as stran...

Hi, I just received my Taranis and am trying to read the original firmware from the Taranis to back it up before uploading the latest version. I am getting the attached dfu-util error. Synaptic package manager says I have version 0.5-1. I downloaded version 0.7 and did a manual ./configure and sudo ...

Re: Taranis updated voice pack

Just a little heads-up that I forgot to mention. Following the arrival of production radios I noticed the speaker was different than the one that was on our proto radios, and the sounds I had optimized for the proto sounded quite bad. So I have tested a few different filters, and made a new pack th...

Re: Model Names spoken Project

Cheers Scott. This is going to be very handy. Just one comment. The WOT4 is a very common model this side of the atlantic for 20 years or so. It is pronounced 'wot 4' which is slang for 'what 4'.
