FrSky XM+ receiver firmware update (RSSI value constant, Taranis Q X7S) 

UPDATE: I am using f/w 2.2.2 in radio. The bottom connection is now called the S. Port (not Ext Module) in the menus. It worked! Thanks

It is crazy how much bs is involved just to be able to use the Taranis , and this is the way they designed this radio. Thank you for video it was informative . I just wish my radiomaster 16S would hurry so I can sell my frsky gear .

I know this is a old video but it worked perfect for flashing my receiver. Thanks for making this video.Cheers

I couldn't figure out why I didn't have metering on channel 12, in the receiver tab for Betaflight. Your video was the only one that pointed out it was due to not having the firmware updated on the XM+. Other channels talked all around RSSI in Betaflight such as select and save channel 12. They showed after selecting a saving you now had percentage reading in the Setup tab etc. etc. But Other video's were assuming channel 12 was dancing around with all this information. Finally your video pointed out if you don't have metering on Channel 12 here's what you do...update the firmware on the XM+. It took me two hours of searching RU-vid till I found you video. Thanks for thinking further back into the whole process. I know we can fly without the RSSI value on the OSD screen but not having it is like not having battery voltage. Without either of those two pieces of information you fly with less confidence. Good video, thanks for putting this our there.

Thanks a lot for the video man! liked it!

just used the info on this video, many thanks.

Thnks for the video and the questions answered!!

thank you very much, this is useful for me. :)

Thank you very much! Good video

Well explained dude

Thank you sir! still works, only thing is now its called s port

Also do we have to do this sp all frsky xm+ woll bind?

Can you tell me the cable to connect xm plus to taranis?

which file do i need? there are several listed within the download folder. the only protocol i have on my radio is ACCESS D16. am i looking for XM+_ACCST_2.1.2_fcc_rssi16.frk?

Right now i yried to bind the xm+ with qx7 and i got red/green light and no binding at all no matter what i try?

You can't tell if your radio is FCC or LBT by showing or not showing D8 mode, there is sticker on the back which says what what version is it. If not, try flashing both of them and try pairing it to the radio.

Maybe this is a stupid question, I'm not very computer savvy. but do I need an empty sd card? Or can I use the card with the opentx sounds files for my taranis on it? Thank you

Why is the rssi not moving anymore after the update?

my xm+ is working and binded but suddenly light solid red, then ı wired 2s lipo and now red blink but does not go out completely

Not all QX7 radios will work on bottom port. The early productions it was NOT wired in. In that case you must use the module bay pins and there ground and volt are reversed!!!

so after flashing it still stayed bound and did not require any additional setup? I have this same stack and problem with no RSSI on my Qx7

Do I need to update on my radio also? Actually, I did update in my XM+ with the new version 2.1.2 LBT and the bind is not happing more!

I flashed my xm+ but oddly I have tried everything I can rssi_scale and rssi_offset but my rssi shows backwards. Using betaflight 4.0 with matek f405 ctr

nice video thankyou

any idea why the value is jumping around so much? i just did this process over the weekend and im getting a max value of about 80 even when im right beside the RX and it only seems to drop 10-15% during flight, even when im pretty far away.

Do you have to bind the XM+ again with the QX7 after you flash the firmware on the XM+?

in other tutorials, the link to the taranis, made by reversing the negative with the positive ... which operation is right and which is wrong? Thanks ;-)

I did that and now my receiver dont want to turn on with the quad???

Do you know if I can do that with the x-lite transmitter?

The propeler cut 0,5 cm one of the antennas. Its a Seriously problem? Tkx

Hi! When I put my xm plus into my taranis, it doesn’t come up with “device” when you click on the folder? Please please please can someone help?

Is this still working with bf 4.1 ? Thanks

update on 2021 pls.

Update! I tried flashing this firmware but as of recently frsky changed their firmware, make sure you go under older downloads, I downloaded the most recent one and it doesn't work, I guess it's for the newer access transmitters, and when you get into the transmitter, to flash it's now called s.port. it will save you a lot of headache😅

I couldn't figure out how to complete this process to save my life....UNTIL... I saw your video. It finally made sense. You helped me get everything done and I appreciate you so much. People like you make FPV possible for so many. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much! Marcus in Florida, USA! Instagram: whoopsquadjax
