Post by aerotibor18 »

Hi guys , I have tiny problem with the menu when I'm selecting new model, I can not change the model type from the plane to helicopter to delta wing or quad copters, it's stay on plane mode and even on it I can't change servo inputs, I dont know if my scroll button is damaged, but its work on other menu pages perfectly, I mostly flying quads and now I'm building heli too so it would be nice to get that work , hope you understand what I mean, it's new radio purchased from Bangood, firmware is opentx-taranis-x9e-2.1.0 date 2015-07-15, please help, I hope I dont need to send it back to Bangood, many thanks

The configuration wizard does not run on that first firmware version. Either configure manually or upgrade firmware, either using FrSky's 2015-09-28 firmware or with vanilla OpenTX.

You need to power on the radio in OpenTX Bootloader mode and then connect it to the computer. If you connect it when already powered on normally, you will get Joystick emulation. See http://open-txu.org/home/undergraduate- ... t-loaders/ and https://github.com/opentx/opentx/wiki/T ... ootloaders

thx, Im did what it say in that link, while holding horizontal trims inwards and switching the transmitter on, the bootloader ver 2.1.4 is on the screen just for two second and than is just clear screen, im connecting usb in to transmitter, and nothing is happening, if im holding switch longer on, message from win. usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognised it, so it looks like I can not put it in to the bootloader :(

Release the power switch once you see the bootloader screen come up, if you keep holding it it will turn off again.
