I think the problem is inverted vs non-inverted signals?
See inverted vs non-inverted explained

It would be a good idea to get it sorted
Assuming you have not already done so.

Perhaps people complained about the extra weight?
With the covers on you had to spend a little time roughing them up to make Velcro stick; the new style look easier in that regard.
I just wonder if they are more vulnerable to accidental damage?

I have a new X8R with paddle antenna that does not have plastic covers.
Is this normal now?
What to you think of them?

Basically the easiest is to install the "firmware" part of the build tools as well, then you'll have a copy of make installed.

Where and how do I set this up?
Is there a wiki help on it?

Thanks.

I have just got a Taranis TX and have set it up with a Model Plane I have, using a X8R telemetry receiver. What I have noticed is that the Flight battery telemetry is now not showing up, it did when I first set it up, but now just shows 0 Volts. Does anyone have any ideas what may have happened ? I...

If you have a spare RX which outputs PPM you can do what I did http://www.theprofilebrotherhood.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=36475 You just need to find a way to supply voltage to the RX, in my case I used the wireless sim which was not working anymore. Once you fly wireless you will never sw...

Here in Germany is a guy that sells DX4 without TX module very cheap from time to time. He is harvesting the modules for creating external spektrum modules for Futaba radios which he is also selling. See here Klaus I was all ready to buy one then I notice he does not post to the UK and I'm not sure...

I find that the DX4e is ideal for use as a buddy box by a child (in my case a 9-year old grandson). It's small and light, needs just four AA alkalines, and works well with the Taranis. There are lots around left over from RTF models and they usually sell for about $25 used. As a bonus, one can stri...

I was using an old JR Propo Model 127F a wonderful transmitter and rx of it's day (you could even swivel the joystick mount to counteract the asymmetry of thumb movement) After finding out that I could not get the darn thing working correctly I realised that the trainer socket I had added was just w...

I should take this opportunity to report that I have been using the training port of the Taranis using a stereo jack with a open source R/C simulator (CRRCSim) for a number of weeks. CRRCSim No need now to mess with sound cards just use the option now integrated into OpenTX and use a usb lead. If y...

I have no experience with commercial software; however I would like your views on how good those two are. Getting back to your problem... For the none commercial software that I have used you must have... Internal Radio System OFF External Radio System OFF Trainer Mode Slave Start channel to match y...

I have opted for the available 2000maH pack.

Here is an interesting article on the self discharge of NiMh cells
Eneloop self discharge study

Driver is libusbx which means that you installed Zadig on the joystick device, which you should NOT have, it works out of the box. Now this driver needs to be uninstalled, but it looks like the Uninstall button is unavailable, so I have no idea how to do it. There might be an Uninstall button in th...

I used the Wizard and made channels 1-4 TAER with 5 for flaps and turned them on to slave. In Control Panel/Devices Printers Windows names it FrSky Joystick controller but either gives it a game controller lookout with no calibrated inputs or as a box with type of device unknown. I'd bet its a wind...

I just use Companion and a usb cable and free open source R/C simulator CRRCSim and create a model in companion.
Call the model something like Simulator and set internal radio system to off and set trainer port to Slave and you are good to go simulated flying!

How are you people field charging the standard TX battery?

Could I use a 4 button balance charger and make lead that connects the TX battery to the main positive and negative terminals?

Or does a balance charger insist on a balance port connection?

Total Voltage is Cells

Mauronic, has selected Cell so that should be correct.

In my case the error was user error :) Using the frSKY leads, software and user notes... Be sure to heed what Step 4 says! Since the upgrade adapter must be connected to the PC and the firmware file loaded (File button pressed) then and only then do you insert the plug into the RX smart port socket ...

How can I tell what firmware is loaded on my X8R receiver?

I note that...
X8R_130725.frk is Telemetry Date error.
X8R_131105.frk is for Improve the value precision of the battery voltage.

Hi all, I now have my old TX acting as a buddy box through my Taranis. Unfortunately, the servo throws are all asymmetric :( So I want to make throws as Trainer match the Taranis. I need to change the throws when the SH trainer switch is active. I am sure I can do it but I'm stuck as to how. Some po...

Daedalus66 point taken. I should take this opportunity to report that I have been using the training port of the Taranis using a stereo jack with a open source R/C simulator (CRRCSim) for a number of weeks. CRRCSim The other end of the lead plugs into the sound card. You must have voltage divider in...

I used Kilrah's idea of stereo jack!
That way nothing can go wrong.

How about if I had the SA away from me "Elevator DualRate OFF" only active if the switch was last in the middle "Elevator DualRate 70%"

Not sure how to do that though?

Four global variables tied to the middle of each three position switches.

Hi, I have set my 3 position switches (SE/SA/SD/SG) to play a track when they are move to one of three positions. e.g. SA away from me "Elevator DualRate OFF", SA middle "Elevator DualRate 70%", SA towards me "Elevator DualRate 50%" That all works great for all four sti...

For anyone reading my post, I did get my Taranis to work with CRRCSim by using the built in joystick configuration system provided by CRRCSim

That would have nothing to do with it. Envoyé de mon GT-I9505 en utilisant Tapatalk True; It was just a comment that I had not changed anything. But you are correct, it was the path although I had not changed the path to the wavs. Oddly my path was \Taranis\MyTransmitter\Voice\SOUNDS because the ne...

I'm puzzled because I have not changed anything other than down load new firmware today?

Hi, I have just updated firmware; however I do not think that is the reason for my problem. I have just gone into companionx9 to set up a custom function to play a track and found that I can only set tracks that I currently use. It seems that companionx9 does not know about all the other available t...

jhsa, Thanks drawing (had my connections all wrong) and the pic of the scope very helpful :) . When I first connected the new lead it still did not work; so my attention turned to the TX setup for sim output. I noticed the pulse shift default was Negative so I changed that to Positive and gave it an...
