I'm convinced EdgeTX is the path forward for our opensource based radios. While the Edge team has done a fantastic job providing a multitude of conversion methods, some people still get stuck migrating for various software related issues.
In this class, I'm going to take all of the tools, installation software, and drivers out of the equation. We're going to covert from OpenTX to EdgeTX the old school way--BY HAND. Use the links below to gather the software you need and follow along in the video to convert your OpenTX radio to EdgeTX in this RCVR MASTER CLASS.
When you are done with this video, you will be able to install EdgeTX on a brand new SD card and you will be able to convert from the latest version of OpenTX directly to the latest version of EdgeTX as of 6/25/22.

Great video. I followed the process successfully with edge 2.9.2. Initial startup messages were slightly different, but maybe that's because i did not overlay the edge sg card onto my otx SD. Basically, it did not auto convert the models. It did, however, convert the radio setting like functions. It also had me calibrate the sticks. I restored models successfully from the otx backup.

@RCVideoReviews 7 месяцев назад

They removed bin to yml conversion in 2.9. This video explains it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NYbOLLoV-GA.html Anyway, sounds like you got it sorted out with an OTX backup.

I'm just getting in to the hobby, I bought a Spektrum NX8 radio, just because my 1st heli was a Blade, and because every video I watched, everyone seemed to be using Spektrum gear. I wish I had know about these types of radio with multi protocols on them. When I was looking for which radio to buy I knew it had to be DS2/DSMX, and I did look at the Radiomaster TX16S, but someone I missed that it was multi protocol and could be used with DSMX stuff. Don't get me wrong the NX8 is a nice radio, but I think if I'd know that I could have used the TX16S on my Blade heli, I would have got it. I've ordered a DSMX satellite unit, but I can see my buying a TX16S in the future, the NX8 is quite old tech TBH, like it's not touchscreen and doesn't have USB C, which the TSX16s does.

Your videos are outstanding. You have a brilliant, clear way of explaining things and i really appreciate the work you put into it. Question if i may....I have been using a Qx7 radio with OpenTX. I now have my new TX16S running EdgeTX. Is it possible to convert my models? They didn't convert when doing the transfer. Thanks

@RCVideoReviews 5 месяцев назад

In EdgeTX Companion, setup both radios. Select your Qx7 read models/settings. Save to a file. Switch radio profile to TX16s, open the Qx7 file, and Companion should prompt you for a conversion. Don't expect a perfect conversion though. If you have hardware on the Qx7 not available on the TX16s, the line(s) may be removed.

Super video, can't wait to upgrade to EdgeTx...I HAVE to have my Amber Sound pack...do I just copy them back into the sounds folder after upgrading?

@lowriderfpv8440 Год назад

Hi Russ, I believe that you do not even delete your sounds folder in the clean-up of the SD card when John is doing the SD card clean-up and if you should delete them Yes just copy your Amber sounds file back from your "Saved" SD card content instead of the new SD card sound file. I hope this helps and Happy Flying!

@velikijoxotnik Год назад

Good Video. I like the concise, cut-to-the-chase format of this and other videos or yours! I'm on the fence for switching to ETX. I'm currently running a RM T16S, but with an older firmware set. I have refused to update my xmitter firmware, from back when FrSky and Jumper (my first OTX radio) got into a squabble and FrSky started doing some proprietary things with your X8R and S8R receivers. So, all of my X8R and S8R receivers have been flashed back to older firmware sets before I bound/installed them in my aircraft. So, first question: If I do the OTX-to-ETX conversion as you've shown in this video, will the ETX RM T16S communicate with the existing older firmware receivers? Or will I have to pull all of my receivers out of their respective aircraft (I currently have a bout 40 aircraft that are bound to my RM T16S) and flash them to a current firmware set? My gut is telling me 'yes,' and that's a huge turnoff to me. Related to existing receivers that are bound to the OTX-running transmitter, will they have to be rebound to the ETX-running transmitter? Losing all of my existing widgets is a big turnoff, too. I fly complicated warbirds and have spent quite a bit of time making multiple information screens for each model. It would be a major ordeal to have to redo all of the existing widgets. i do understand that ETX is actively advancing, while OTX has been evolutionarily stagnant for many years. But OTX ain't broke for me. Thus the quandry: Do I fix what ain't broken, or bite the bullet and step into the new decade??? Decisions, decisions... Again, thanks for this and your other videos. Quality stuff!!!

@RCVideoReviews Год назад

"If I do the OTX-to-ETX conversion as you've shown in this video, will the ETX RM T16S communicate with the existing older firmware receivers?" Yes, your bind info carries over. This video might help with your decision: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hwe55lPsN4g.html

@donaldhill2076 Год назад

Hi Great video and thank you. I did run into a very frustrating problem with the model conversions,. I brought a new MK1 T16S for a friend with OpenTX loaded. Followed the Vid exactly but when I downloaded the models from the Taranis running OpenTX it simply would not find any of the models to convert despite them all being there. After hours a messing around and trying OpenTX Companion and EdgeTX Companion, and a rest, I simply downloaded the Models off OpenTX and saved them as a backup file then as your later video shows using EdgeTX I opened that file. It then asked to convert them and even though this was the second attempt it converted them and all is ok. Just as a matter of interest Ive been running EdgeTX on my T16S and Jumper T16 since the first full stable version with no problems.

Thank you for the video! I've been on edge TX for a week and happy i switched over! I did not transfer over all the lua scripts in the process and now wondering if i need to set my tx16s to dfu mode for it to read them? or do i just simply drag over?

@RCVideoReviews 2 года назад

You only need dfu or bootloader to flash the firmware. Card contents can be changed by putting the card in the pc as shown in the video or by plugging in to the top port and selecting usb storage mode.

@razn2400 2 года назад

Thank you so much John! Brilliant video - I was tempted to convert to EdgeTX and this one-stop tutorial made me finally do it. One question please, if I may - on completion my touchscreen does not respond... I tested it within Hardware > Debug > Analogs and it seems to work. But not with EdgeTX... Have I missed anything? Any idea what is wrong please? Other than this all seems to work fine (with the buttons). Many thanks!

@RCVideoReviews 2 года назад

There is an option in Global Functions and Special Functions to disable touch. I'd make sure that's not on. You could also "reset" your radio settings by erasing \RADIO adio.yml just to see if it is a physical setting. If you erase/remove that file, the radio will create a new one on reboot/sd mount and it will ask you to go through calibration again. Skip that, and check immediately if touch works. It should if it works on the Analogs screen. What radio?

@RCVideoReviews Год назад

Don't use wizards--just chose the option to create a new model and Edge will setup a new model with 4 channels in your specified default mode. Learn to start with a basic 4 channel model and forget about wizards, you will thank me later.

@fiveleafcloverfpv4445 Год назад

Yesterday trying to convert a friend's TX16S. Didn't work out over flasher or companion so also did it like this too. More accidently than planned 😅 Had issues with the sound. Turned out the folder only can be called "EN" (for English) The download folders had a longer description. So be aware with that. Seems like the Express LRS 2.x doesn't work great. Crashes / or doesn't respond with binding. Have to figure out some things. Did see some extra information on your video to check out. Btw the firmware.bin file for the radiomaster tx16s is separate now. No need to take the hortus. Ps. How good will this run on my Taranis X9d+.? Already having memory issues running scripts like betaflight or inav. Afraid it will be worse.

Hey a quick question do I need to get my hands on a touch screen mod? The reason I ask is that I got the Gen 1 of the Radiomaster TX16S from back in 2020 in which they offered a touch screen update to buy on it's on own back then. Fantastic job on the very insightful video.

@RCVideoReviews 29 дней назад

Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the video. Personally, I'm not up-to-speed on the process to switch from non-touch to touch as I started with touch. So I've never looked into it. I *think* all you have to do is buy the touch replacement screen which should be available just about everywhere that sells TX16s parts. I would encourage you to hop on my discord (invite in description of every video I post) and ask there. People more familiar with the process should be able to confirm.

Hi,John,I just converted both my Radiomaster tx16s' to edge tx 2.9.4.One works fine,but on the other the themes don't seem to work,although the whole list is in the themes folder.Presumably i made a mistake somewhere,but I've gone through your video again,and i can't find anything i've done wrong.Any thoughts?Thanks.Hans.

Hello John. I followed your instructions in the conversion process and everything worked flawlessy except the touch screen is not working. Its not a game changer but I was wondering if I slighted something. Great instructional video. Thanks Jason

Usually that means you flashed TX16.bin and not TX16S.bin

Has your touch screen ever worked? What version of firmware did you come from? There is a special/global function that can turn off touch. You might need to check through both to make sure you're not using that function. Otherwise, go to system->hardware->analogs and see if that registers screen touchs. If you don't have a function disabling the screen, and if the analogs screen registers touch, you'll need to open a ticket on the EdgeTX github.

No. Bindings remain.

I'm considering doing the switch. One question - does timer information get lost? I presently have a timer running with total airframe/flight time (is presently at 16 hrs for a Durafly Tundra).

The only thing that gets lost are widgets.

Was just curious why the edge tx wizard loader will only let have 8 channel to choose from, I know you can just go into inputs and mixer pages to set up the channels you need, but was just curious about the wizard loader lack of 16 channels.

@RCVideoReviews Год назад

I don't know. I delete the Wizard. Kick it to the curb and learn to program your models by hand, you'll thank me for it later.

I have a question, I fly those little Eachine planes and they have 3 rates, beginner, intermediate and expert mode. I would like to set up just dual rates and expo in expert mode but don't want it to effect the other 2 rates. Do you do this in flight modes or somewhere else. Let me know, thanks

@RCVideoReviews 2 года назад

I'll repeat this back to make sure I've got it: You have a switch (we'll call it "SA") that toggles beginner, intermediate, and expert. You want a second switch (we'll call it "SB") that lets you toggle high rates+expo and low rates+expo while the first switch is in expert mode. There are a bunch of different ways to skin this. You could use flight modes, but I feel unless you are comfortable programming the radio, it might be confusing. To keep it as simple as possible, I would probably do something like this: L01: a=x, V1 SA, V2 -100, (or whatever your mode switch is: -100 for up, 0 for mid, 100 for down) AND SB-up L02: a=x, V1 SA, V2 -100, AND SB-!up (notice the exclamation mark) Now you can setup a 2nd line on your inputs page using L01 for the high rates switch and L02 for the low rates switch on aileron/elevator/rudder.

I used this successfully for my TX16s. Very pleased thanks. Then I tried to do the same with FRSKY X10S Horus and that does not work. After setting up the sd card the tx starts , holding the 2 trim levers together, but does not go into flash firmware. Instead it says sd card error expected version 2.3V0029 Any ideas ? I have now reverted this tx to OpenTX

@jeffro. Год назад

It's funny how, when I started with my Raiomaster TX16 there was another form of software available, that was written by a team because it was more flexible than what actually came with the RC transmitter device. I can't even remember the names of the various versions of software, but every so often, someone comes along and invents a new one because it does stuff that none of the previous ones did. Now, we're up to EdgeTX. As far as I know, it does everything we need, but I'm sure someone will come along soon with yet a newer version, with yet a newer name, because they had some functions they needed that couldn't be done with EdgeTX. Lol. Ha, ha. Oh, well. Then we'll all have to reprogram our transmitters, and John will have to invest even more of his time & talent to learn the new software and create new videos to 'splain it to the rest of us idjuts. That's how the world turns. For John I guess it's "job security."

Yup, amber works fine on Edge. I have a video on installing the Amber sound pack if you need help. This was done for OpenTx, but it applies the same to EdgeTx: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S4QYoLFlMf0.html

@RCVideoReviews Год назад

1) Are you sure it's bound correctly? i.e. Get any telemetry? 2) Did you look at your mixer and verify you have inputs assigned to channels? 3) If the channel monitor showing nothing on Mix or Output or both?

@@RCVideoReviews Thanks so much for the reply! !. When I plug in a servo, it moves to center so I believe the receiver is bound. 2. I believe it has what you said.

Great runthrough! I downloaded all the downloads for my X9D and flashed the EdgeTX bootloader but have a question before I proceed with preparing the SD card and flashing the EdgeTX f/ware. I'm still running an old V2.2.3 version of OpenTX on my X9D so the SD Card folder structure is quite different from V2.3.x (eg. no RADIO folder, extra CROSSFIRE & EEPROM folders, etc), so I'm curious as to whether I need to upgrade to V2.3.x before migrating to EdgeTx? I have about 50 models (all multirotors) and a boat load of .LUA scripts so don't want to end up in a sea of pain LOL! Any pointers appreciated regarding the safest upgrade path as I couldn't find any info online. Thx :) Sub'd

The process to switch from OTX to ETX doesn't really change much from one revision to the next. The biggest hurdle now is the latest EdgeTX 2.9.0 removes the bin to yaml model conversion meaning it requires Companion. Otherwise, the process of flashing is the same.

Edge supports Access on Access radios. I'm told there are some issues on color radios with OTA updates, but it shouldn't have issues binding if you use the correct protocol. Anyway, all the more reason to get away from Access IMHO. I'd take EdgeTX over Access any day of the week.
