@BillFrazier 4 года назад

I'm not sure what happened here but I am new to this and I started watching your videos for their concise and easy to understand lessons. I was frustrated by what Taranis did on my QX7 ACCESS with no D8 Mode and was about to return it as I was having too much difficulty binding it. I finally got it binded in D16 mode after watching several of your vids, not specifically on the binding the transmitter to my TinyHawk 2, but just from the knowledge gained from your vids I was finally able to get something that works inside, but it's rainy so can't try it outside. Thanks

@twobrotherskayaking4736 4 года назад

Hey DrainMan FPV your dedication and service to RC learning is invaluable!! Just got this Taranis DX9 Plus from eBAY (USED) and in great condition and with the hard alu case. But the firmware was 2016 and boot was 2.1 something and no voice. So I followed your (this) video with OTXC235 and did the download and flash procedures. Also saved the files in an orderly manor per your suggestion, but in my style of course (been doing computer stuff since 1980’s lol). Now am operating the kick-ass xmitter with the ‘latest/greatest’ 235 firm and boot!!! It even talks now! Friggin’ awsome!! Much thanks and keep those learning vids coming.

Hello DrainMan , first of all I would like to thank for sharing your knowledge ,,,, My friend I'm a beginner !! I do have a Taranis QX7 radio - firmware 7access-2.3.5 (4fbe....) The reason that I need to update and change my firmware is the fact that there in missing mode at my Taranis , Mode D8 is missing ! The Taranis can be connected to the DRL Simulator and also to the Betaflight program without any problem, , put when I connect it to the OpenTX program it's not possible to Read/Wright & not possible to download the firmware. Please ur advice ?

After updating my X9D+ from fw 2.0.9 to the latest firmware all models doesn't work anymore, all custom functions and other settings are lost and had to be recreated again, even simple thing like the RX module is not the right one. Restoring them from backup doesn't help because the eeprom updates them as soon the tarains is powered on.

Is there a way to get D8 mode on qx7 ACCESS with r9m 2019?? It’s for a Emax that uses D8 mode only, or should I just send this receiver back (and get the ACCST) before it’s too late??

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to, but don't hold me to it. I would just change the receiver in that quad.

@joeolison215 4 года назад

DrainMan FPV Yeah that’s a little known problem with this new ACCESS, thought I was getting cutting edge which in some ways it maybe but some of us new bees (and others with Emax products) don’t realize what we’re losing (D8 mode) if we but this mode of QX7... but thanks for the response (I’m now a sub) and I’ve just ordered the QX7S ACCST US model that has D8 (according to Amazon 🤞🏽)

My firmware update file won't save as a .bin file. It just saves as "All files" file type. When I try to flash it to my Qx7S, it says "new firmware is not compatible with the one currently installed!" Is there some file or program that I am missing or something?

@ericmorrell806 4 года назад

For anyone that has this problem, I found the solution. You need to uncheck the box that says "check hardware compatibility" if it's the 1st time you are removing the FrSky stock firmware (this will be true if you have a new radio).

@Chillin-fpv Год назад

So can I pull the sd card out of my radio and plug it in my computer with an sd card reader and update everything that way? My mac will not recognize my transmitter at all. I know my cord supports data and even tried a usb 2.0 adapter. Im about to trash this thing. By trash i mean sell it lol
