Hi bonnicij,

OK then we know it's not the retracts the problem.
Continue like this one piece at the time until you identify the culprit.
Go backwards from retracts to up the hill to the Tx, including cables, connections, grounds, V+ , receiver, etc etc.
Don't jump anything and you'll find it.

Hi,

You need to isolate the problem first.

Just replace your retracts by a servo with a horn and see what happens.
If a known good servo does not work, then you'll know the problem is not your retracts.
Go step by step, including changing wires if necessary.

Hi all,

My taranis RTC date and time problem was immediately fixed then I changed the battery. My Taranis had 5 years.

Kilrah is right, some batteries are cheaper than others and are worse, not up to their 100% capacity at shipment so the problems may occur at any time.

Many thanks rdeanchurch

RTG

Thank you again rdeancherch.

Where can I find a list and the description of parameters of allowable lua functions for Taranis?
That would help me greatly. I looked around and found no place where functions are listed with their parameters description (for the Taranis).

RTG

Thanks rdeanchurch,

Yes I I forgot the wrappers, they were not there.
Do I absolutely need an init and run functions? Like the main() in C language?
How do I show something of the LCD? Let's say I want to print Rudder = 76 and see the result on my screen?

Thanks,
RTG

Hi, I'm starting to learn about LUA scripts on Taranis+. I have never used Lua before but know very well the C language. I saved with Notepad++ the file named pr.lua the following program and when I execute this lua script in the radio setup I have the following error message: "script syntax er...

Hi all,

Happy new year!

I there a way to bind two taranis TX to the same receiver RX? If so, what is the procedure?
I have two Taranis, would be nice if I could use them both without having to rebind each Rx aircraft every time.

RTG

PicoSim works well, I just tried it. Near to RC reality.

I also find out that the rudder on Taranis must me mapped at CH6 for simulators.
That allowed me to also use GEO-FS which never worked before I discover C^H6 on rudder.

Thank you jtaylor.

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a good free RC simulator other than FMS?
A truly free simulator, not demo or trial version.
Something we can use with the Taranis Joystick mode.

Thanks

Hi, To continue on this subject of USB mode, what do theses options do? 1- ask to connect. I can imagine the answer to this one but I have never tried it. 2- Joystick. I know the answer of this one, Taranis becomes a joysick emulator. 3- USB mass storage. Problably will enable all the SD contents an...

Yes is does. I changed it directly on the Taranis itself and it worked. I can now run FPV freerider.
I will check in companion what each options do.

Thanks rdeanchurch.

Hi Kilrah,

OK I got it and it works. Great support. Thanks.
USB in radio setup must be set to joystick. Did not know that. It is great.

RTG

Kilrah,

Thanks for your support.
Where is this USB settings?
I have in radio radio setup -> hardware -> Serial port is at OFF. Is this what you are talking about?
How do I set the USB in the radio?

Hi Kilrah,

Firmware Open Tx 2.2.2
USB: I don't know the version. Windows says COM7 ST.... How to I get the version?

Thanks

Hi, My Taranis X9D + connects very well to USB port on the PC only in bootloader mode. When I'm in bootloader mode I can access SD drive and make firmware updates no problem. All is good. However, when I'm not in the bootloader mode and power on the Taranis then plug the USB cable, the USB does not ...

Yes Kilrah, you are surely right about that. The only think that bugs me is that when the Tx is close by to X type receivers (not D types), we have this annoying telemetry lost/telemetry recovered. I understand this is caused by a very strong signal that probably saturates the RF link but neverthele...

Hi, It's ok to have some bugs but what I don't understand is that FrSky did not solve that problem with the recent units of Taranis and Taranis plus after all these years. I just bought a new X9D plus and it still has the noise problem. Q X7 does not have this problem so why don't FrSky correct it o...

Hi all, Something interesting happened that I would like to share. When I bought my Taranis plus I had the standard joysticks and the humming noise reported in this thread. When I opened my Taranis plus to change the joysticks, I saw one ferrite and the big capacitor mod on DC power already applied ...

Yes of course all firmware are not compatible on any of the Taranis.
But for models and consequently EEPROM:

1- Taranis and Taranis + are compatible
2- X7 not compatible with taranis and taranis +.

Horus and X10 not compatible.

Hi

An easy question for Taranis experts.
Are the model files of the Taranis 100% compatible with the Taranis plus? Except for haptic of course.
Do they need a conversion? Can we simply use them as is in either radio?

Thanks
Ray

Thanks Kilrah,

This problem is probably caused by RF crosstalk on the cables harnesses inside the Taranis.
I have to change my joysticks anyway so I will add a small ferrite or two to the culprit cables.
Or simply move a cable just a little bit inside will at least diminish the noise.

Ray

Hi Kilrah,

I don't have this problem with my other Taranis. At least I don't hear it.

Ray

Hi all, I just bought a Taranis X9D plus two weeks ago, so it is brand new. When turned on, I have a continuous weak but annoying humming sound noise coming out from the speaker. My other Taranis X9D (not plus) bought 5 years ago does not make that humming noise and is still working well. When I tou...

Got it.

Thanks Kilrah.

Ray

Thanks Kilrah,

I'm not sure if step 9 is necessary.
After step 8 write to X7 in model location on SD card, will that automatically save it in the EEP file?
I'm not sure what is the relationship between EEP file and the SD card.

Ray

OK let me know if this is the good procedure to convert models from X9D to QX7. 1- Connect X9D usb to PC and open companion. 2- Program companion for QX7 3- Read (load models from X9D). The models read from X9D should be converted to X7 in companion memory. 4- Eject X9D SC card. 5- Connect QX7 usb t...

Thanks Kilrah.

OK got it.
Can you please indicate what is the correct procedure to do this in Companion?

Thank you.

Hi,

I need an advice.
What is the best and fastest way to copy a model from a Taranis to a Taranis X7?
Can we simply copy the model file from one SD card the other SD card?

I want to avoid to write all the pages one by one.

Thx
RTG

Thanks Kilrah.

I found my problem, I need to configure the UART3 port on my FC. Forgot it.
Sorry my bad, I thought my binding did not work but it did.
And you are right, SBUS is not affected.
