Just wondering if any of the developers have used the Taranis with a commercial flight simulator like Phoenix etc? Seems to me a little guide on the settings for the most popular Sims would be a good help to new users of the system as they could "fly" their new model before trying it out i...

Like any new product it gets tweaked right at the last minute after testers in the field and factory find things that need sorted. I expect there will still be minor teething problems for the first few months at least. You only have to look at the service bulletin pages of any of the big radio manuf...

Scott has pointed out the requirements for images in his last post and it may be that my efforts will prove unsuitable for the Taranis. The Funcub and Radians may need reworked.

@Scott, Didn't realise you had done it due to the habit of "internet skimming" as I call it :) Anyway here is a few more, didn't have much time today so have not created a nice photo album Zip includes Radian Radian Pro DG-1000 MX2 Still not sure if they will have enough contrast but will ...

Scott,

Here's a Funcub but I don't think I got the conversion to bitmap correct, so please take a look at it. Have attached the original as a jpg too so you can see what it looked like as a greyscale image.

Works! I just hadn't tried the manual update route as I thought they hadn't been done for the Mac since Groot's last update, which was a long time ago. Will give it a good run now to see how it works. EDIT Downloaded a new firmware file with different settings and successfully flashed to the TX, rea...

Hi Kilrah, Did work fine on Snow Leopard. c9X version 0.97 R1382 Sep 2, 2102 I have not updated using the auto update because when I first got it working forum member Groot was making new versions, AFAIK the auto update did not work on Mac then. If I untick any of the prefs shown on the attached ima...

I used PClinux for about 5 years on my old internet machine. It was easy to use and recognised hardware without any nonsense that often happens with Windoze. The machine died in the end and for some reason I ended up with a Mac ;) I love the Mac OS X too, it just works, sadly however C9X is not play...

My guess is that they will fly off the shelves faster than this Taranis...

Rob, Can't check on my tablet at the moment as it is elsewhere, however, and a bit OT but I have notice a lot of broken image links in the forum today. Just thought I'd mention it in case your aren't aware and are browsing via a local environment

Not a Crazy thing at all, in fact I may print this out on A3 and paste it in my Hangar/Man cave so that my numb brain can refer to it when I attempt any programming :) Thanks for creating it. As for the weather there is an old saying (possibly from the land of the little people) ... " It's an i...

Yeah his support is second to none, a model for the way other business should be run, which sadly in this day and age is often not the case

I am assuming the later models such as D8RII (telemetry) will be supported by Taranis?

Open TX

Guys, I am embarrassed to admit it but I can't for the life of me find out how to set D/R so that a single switch will set them all (AIL EL and Rud) Low/High?

Actually... You will not need a license as the range of these things is only around 3 meters. All the low power FM transmitters for sending music etc to your car radio are now legal in UK subject to a certain power limit. Problem with them is that you meed to select a "free" frequency whe...

@flaps30,

Thanks for the info on the voltage settings.

I take on board fully your point about drift and noise on threads, I guess it is human nature to digress a bit. I can't say there is an easy answer but perhaps renaming and moving pertinent threads to a beginners area would be a good idea.

Rob,

Not averse to doing that...but first I must learn

Kilrah, thanks for the link... maybe I just can 't find stuff easily, but once found I will read and re-read to understand so not lazy just a little overwhelmed

Wow"! I certainly started off an interesting thread. At the risk of being controversial I consider myself almost like a beginner who has just bought a 9x/Taranis. If you look at this thread it may give an indication of just how busy this forum will become when newcomers ask the same questions. ...

So scroll down to there, where it says 0.0v. Press menu, then use the right key (- if you haven't switched them) to make it 19.8v. Trying to set this up on my D8R-II (not plus have the add on FRSKY voltage sensor). In my case I am using a 11.1V lipo to power receiver and servos, so wondering what i...

template->_tpl_load_file(): File ./styles/mobile/template/search_results.html does not exist or is empty

Getting random errors like above on my Samsung note 10.1 tab when set to mobile.

Please keep going with this idea. The one thing that new users of the 9X radios and indeed the new Taranis will want is an easy programming interface. I am guessing many who will be interested in the Taranis radio will have second thoughts about buying as they will see the programming as a major lea...

@SM,

Thanks for the info, I'd appreciate a copy when you get a chance so that I can compare yours with my experimental version

Thanks,

When a EEPE (software) saved .eepe file is imported into C9x does it convert it without any configuration issues?

I'm struggling with trying to get my Fun Cub set up on my 9X using Open TX and C9X. I have just finished the telemetry mods and here is the set up Latest Open TX firmware. SP board TEZ board DJT + FrSky module DB8R-II receiver Mode 2 with CH'S set as TAER I imported an EEPE file that some kind membe...

Sorry I meant after all flash and reboot is completed the next time the radio is used there is no issue with the switches.

Just keep in mind that after performing a flash operation, the tx will automatically reboot. After that reboot (without you turning it off/on), TelemetrEZ will deliberately wait 15 seconds. its not a bug. Turn the radio off and back on and the switches should be immediately available if you've got ...

Guys I'm back, and as they say "be afraid, be very afraid! :) The backlight is now operational, don't known exactly what the cause was but a removal and re-istall of the SP board cured it. Now another weird happening. I flashed the TEZ using Steve's little program and it appeared to flash OK an...

If this groups wants to build a bigger community fast then I see some things it could do to help the Taranis user influx... 1 Create a beginners forum where all basic question can be answered in an area where noobs can see them without having to search the forum for answers to common questions. Expe...

I can't help you with your problem but you may be able to help me :) I was not flying my MCPX in collective pitch normally as I have it dumbed down on positive pitch only as per setting found on RC groups. Last night I somehow got into the mode you describe with the MCPX and can't get out of it in m...
