Re: What do we used for "D8"

OK, thanks Kilrah. Seems like another step backwards with the 2019 Tx! With this and the EEPROM memory warning that you also helped me with, I think I'm going to have to split my models into two groups, so the D8 models can remain with my older Taranis plus and the newer and bigger ones with the new...

Re: EEPROM warning

Thanks, Kilrah. This seems to be a bit of a limitation given its overall power, and memory is so cheap now. One for the wish list.

EEPROM warning

I'm setting up my Tx and copying models, but only have about half the model memory slots in use. I have a 1GB SD card in it, if that's relevent. Today the Tx comes up with this message on booting up - "EEPROM WARNING EEPROM low mem" What's causing this? Is it just a matter of needing to us...

What do we used for "D8"

I'm still learning my Taranis plus 2019. I have several MicroAces models, each having an all-in-one block receiver with a couple of linear servos and a speed controller on the board. These bound to my older Taranis plus no problem, and I was using internal RF mode "D8" in the Tx. I've disc...

Re: Lost "Cells"

Fantastic, Dean, many thanks, I'll consult those. I joined together all my different sensors and discovered sensors again, so I now have a long list of them, GPS, airspeed, rpm, amps, etc. My plan is to recreate what I did originally, which was to write a couple of template models and then copy that...

Re: Lost "Cells"

Ah, the mystery starts to unravel - thanks. Light at the end of the tunnel, but this really does seem to be a step backwards from the previous in my view.

Re: Lost "Cells"

Sorry, I think maybe I misunderstood. Is there a function to "discover sensors"? I never needed to do anything in my older Tx or Companion 2.2, the functions were available from the start by default in both.

Re: Lost "Cells"

No. Just to be sure, I've just bound an X8R with a FLVSS attached and a LiPo on that. There are 4 servos attached and all work in response to stick movements (just to be doubly sure!).The FLVSS is flashing slowly as normal and displaying the cell voltages. In the Tx, if I look for "Cells" ...

Lost "Cells"

I've recently upgraded from Taranis plus to Taranis plus 2019, and from Companion 2.2 to Companion 2.3. All my electric models use "Cells" to monitor the LiPo motor pack via an FLVSS LiPo sensor and LSs to warn me when the pack voltage gets down to a minimum value. I can't find Cells in 2....

Re: Why is my receiver battery always critical?

Thanks, Kilrah. This happens on all my models at the moment, some with batteries for the Rx and some electric flight ones with Rx power coming from the speed controller. The telemetry shows A1 voltage higher than the alarm values at all times, yet it still complains!

Problems with a new Taranis

I've used my first Taranis system for about 3 years now. A few months ago I decided to pension off that Tx which had had a lot of use (and some accidental abuse!) and get a new one. I bought a Taranis X9D Plus, but have had some problems. I'd appreciate any comments and help as I'm not really skille...

I've tried deleting and re-copying the files to the SD card one by one, but they appeared in the dialogue box as before. It can't be a random order as the order was the same as last time.
Roll on 2.0.16! Do we know when to expect it?

I agree, Tim. One observation I can make as a beginner is that once you've got over the initial hill, there's a lot of help around albeit not written as such - you have to look for things and interpret them. That's OK for many once you have a basic understanding and have clawed your way up that hill...

Re: General telemetry problems

No - the lack of a reading was not due to the DC as when I increased it from the meagre 0.3A the bulb was pulling to a higher value, it read OK. Seems there's a zero error. Maybe it needs calibration - the FAS-40 readings do not quite agree with the readings on my Wattmeter.

Should rates and expos go in inputs or mixer?

I've found it's possible to get rate functions by adding lines to inputs or by adding lines to mixers. (Or both! in which case they seem to multiply together.) To avoid confusion, let's leave one or the other with only 100% weights and no additional lines. Then, what are the pros and cons of doing t...
