Lol!!! Look at the space the true genius can utilise ... lol! Most all things work just as on the 9X versions we are all used to menu wise, but no 'control' system as of yet, so there is no output to receivers. But there is colour! Amazing! The Horus feels like part of the family already now! Haha! ...

Mike ..........

Not sure how the Horus stores information exactly, but the production version does not need to have an SD card inserted at all. I cannot remember the actual change that was made from the development version to the production version but am thinking it was that all data was stored on a new-to-the- pr...

Swap the MCU for one with a larger eeprom size. Not something the non-modding user would consider agreed. But it could be an option I suspect.

I have had 3 Taranis - 2 X 9 and a 9+. All sold on. Simply could not get on with them. They could do nothing my Sky9X could do and the button sequences with them was awful. Horus is a different kettle of fish altogether. Once it is fine-tuned firmware-wise whether it be the (currently bleeding awful...

Righty. Got the following: Power on so RED LED is on. Throttle stick centre. Lower stick - no change. Press the black thumbwheel at right side of TX twice, and LED changes to PURPLE. At this point no matter what is done, no backlight shows. Files are on the card again with the right timestamps. I th...

Okie dokie. It is going in the right direction.
So far there are no beeps etc. but will try the steps below right now. Won't be long.

No difference Mike. No errors when flashing but only the same LED colours sequence. Formatted the SD card and the same files are there, and are correctly timestamped for when the flashing process was carried out. How exactly are you flashing your board? I can make sure I am following you exactly then.

Mike I can confirm the files you mention are indeed present.

No go Mike. Uploaded firmware to Horus without issue - no errors showing. On pressing the 'on' button, it sets the LED to red. Pressing again sets it to a sort of 'purple' and then a long press sets it to blue. On releasing the button, LED goes off. Nothing shows on the screen at any time.

Fingers crossed ... if the worst comes to the worst, it will be a nice looking door stop! lol

Latest FrSkyOS version is 1.3.01(beta) and it needs to be thoroughly benchtested before flying it. The last version that I have used that is stable is 1.2.25(beta) Both releases have LBT and International firmwares in the downloaded zip files. Your 1.2.15 does have limited telemtry screens from memo...

Great news. Downloaded. Will get on it when the little one is in bed about half seven this evening. Manic here today! hahaha!!
What is the flashing process Mike?

Could you not setup a curve to do that?

Horus OpenTX I believe is coming on well recently, but I still have the production FrOs on mine and have not tried OpenTX since a develo...

Holy moly Mike ... is this the definition of 'will take a while'?

I really wish I could even begin to grasp the knowlede needed to help with the coding for these firmwares.

What is it written in?

Would it run on a production release Mike? Would be happy to give it a go.

I know there are two versions of OpenTX and FrOS for Horus. One for the beta test and another for the production versions because of hardware differences.

Ahhh! Indeed. It was from one of the development boards. I have one of those here as well. Problem is, thinking about it, even that is different to the production versions, and has different firmware again.

Offer still stands for you to have my production Horus Mike ...

To really use the Horus, particularly the display, will take a while. At present, I'm just displaying a 128 by 64 image in monochrome, but double size so using 256 by 128 pixels. The display is actually 480 by 272 16-bit colour! Reading the SD card and voice/beep output is now working. Also, I don'...

Yeah lol! But hopefully £1.80 for a new harness and another £6 for a hinge assembly and some profanities reassembling it will see it all good again! Cannot afford to lose that laptop!

Thankfully the hard drive is OK!

Note to self: Do not forget to back up ones data! Lol!

RCHH, have you done the rebooting trim fix on your radio ? That only applies to the stock board, not any of the replacement ones. Thought so. To continue with the issue, whether it is related or not, my laptop decided to release copious amounts of magic smoke early this morning - the screen wiring ...

Hi bob,
Thanks for the reply. I have not done that fix, as I can confirm the reboots are not related to the trim switches. Have never had a reboot when using trims, and on this model I have never used any trims anyway.
However, it is something I will have a looksee at.

Many thanks again.

It is strange Mike. The module (bear in mind it is of the first generation Orange module about 5 years old I think! Not one of the new things.) is the same one I have used in the same TX for years, have never changed the settings for it in the TX and never had an issue - until now. That being said, ...

I have a problem with random TX reboots whilst setting up my 450L helicopter. Sky9X Rev.B M4 chipped board, running C8 test version. Using an OrangeRX module in the rear, which is the first time that has been in the TX since fitting the M4 chip. Module has never caused problems before, and is fine i...

Many, many thanks Mike - that was most helpful. And the heads up on the other thread ... which I had already asked the same! Ooops!

Mike, got a question for you. I am wanting to cobble a pair of Taranis 'sliders' (pots with ears!) onto my Sky Rev B1 board. Jhsa has kindly directed me to his mod for the same on the Ar9X board and I am wondering if the Sky board has suitable pinouts available to do the same/similar. Many thanks in...

Well done! :) Regarding the throw. I tested several gimbals (FlySky / Turnigy, FrSky PR10 and the M9). It appears that the stock FlySky gimbals have the largest throw (just a little bit over FrSky PR10), while FrSky M9 has the shortest. But I don't feel that to be an issue, at least my fingers had ...

I spent the evening fitting the new M9 gimbals. Went about it ever so slightly different than andrewju did, in that I was not wishing to chop away any of the alloy plates on the gimbals. All I did was unsolder the 8-wire blocks from the trimmer PCB's and resolder them on the other side. Very much as...

My pair of M9's arrived today from HorusRC. That is this evenings entertainment taken care of. Lovely quality items.
