New OpenTx Radio? You Should Perform All Three of These Calibrations Radiomaster TX16s Calibrate 

Oh and thank you so much for taking your time and going at a slower pace so I could keep up with you just fine most RU-vidrs want to show off and go fast where nobody came keep up with wearing out the pause play buttons crazy

You just know everything about open tx! Thanks for the information. 🙂

Good video. Got the same values on the 6 buttons, even after updating to the latest and greatest firmware/OpenTX version

Making it easy for us as always! Thanks! 👍

Another great and informative video thanks again mate 👍

Thank you , your videos are very helpful. Same 99 on that value ,

Great video help me out so much thanks s much.

My 6-position switch is the same, -100 -60 -20 19 59 99. Thanks for confirming that mystery!

Great stuff, thanks for the share!! 😉👍

Yes my 6 position switches are the same for radiomaster tx16s. At least its consistent. You can set functions to match with a small range so I still use ~20, ~60 and ~100 for this switch.

Brilliant channel. 👍

I want this red ring that i see on your gimbals haha.And thanks for your help, im trying to learn opentx now

Yes my six position is reading just like yours and I just bought my tx16s max one month ago so a year later they are still reading the same

My position switches on my Radiomaster showed the same as yours!

Brilliant video, thanks. How often would you calibrate? Why do you sometimes see flickering when, for example, the slide calibration is moved to the neutral point?

These vids on the TX16s are incredibly helpful, especially for total newbies like me. I've bought a Mode 1, but realised 2 would be better (just personal choice). There is a vid from Radiomaster on changing over the gimbals, but it shows a completely wire free back cover. For some reason I have a few wires attached to inside of mine. Any chance of putting up a video of swopping Modes over ?

1:30 ... I had measured the current draw of the TX16S and it was 250mA to 350mA depending on which protocol you choose or if the Screen is at High output or Standby. The radio only powers either the Internal or External modules at a time.

Same, 19, 59, 99 on my Jumper T18.

Same here, 99 and not 100 on the 6 position switch. Just live with it I think.

Hey, another great video. Liked the tip as to how to check the calibration. Also, my TX16s gives the same outputs on the 6 position switch. One last thing, how do you get the actual voltage to show on the screen beside the battery meter. On mine, I just get a flashing red text showing 0% and 0.00V

I'm also getting 99 at the 6th flight mode button. If you didn't point this out I wouldn't have noticed it. It must be software related, since all these appear to be consistent at 99. One thing I still haven't figured out is if there is a way to change the clock from 24-hour based to 12-hour based with an AM/PM indication.

Calibrate 'n validate. More great info! I can't wait to receive the battery that was ordered so I can at least turn the T18 on! The battery is from NewBeeDrone. It's a GNB 7.4v 2s 3000mah lipo. I hope it's of good quality. So, would it be best to set the cut off at 7.6 'n 8.4?? AirHammer out!!

This comment runs off another video, but thanks for linking me to here. I'll be starting from scratch after a factory reset on that radio.

Great info as always just looking at TX16s specs which says operating voltage is 7v to 8.4v Shouldn’t this be the battery range setting 😊👍

Which cable does the Radiomaster need to connect to a simulator? The radio end looks like 1/8"? Love the videos!

Hey great video. I had a question with my opentx radio but idk if you can help me. When my radio talks, there is a hissing noise. Is there anything that I can do? Thanks!

Same 19,59,99. weird. couldn`t count the 0? I have been calibrating my sticks wrong since day 1. Always moved around in circles, but when I got my TX16S, this caused cal issues. Changed to up/down, left/right and perfect. Thank you for pointing this out.

i love yoouuu

What pins are you using with the voltage meter, do you open the battery bay and stick it to one of the pins there? I have no idea what wires you’re reading

I got the same reaction to calibrating 6P Button Bar, 19,59, & 99..also got some fluctuation on digits on left 3 locations and 2 location on the right, sometimes, but 3 left definitely all the time.....? Interference, loose connection, tapped radio gently didn't make any difference...? =)

I get exactly the same numbers on mt TX16S, so I think it's Open TX firmware related.

When callibrating the right stick on the side of the radio only reaches the middle when fully up, a bit above center, the left slider reaches the top, is this a hardware or software issue? Cant find anything on it online

Yep 99 on the 6position switch

I saw a chap calibrate the 6 buttons like this start on 3 go 21 then 456 instead of 123456 ?

My right stick does not center at 0. Visually it is in the middle but on the screen its not centered and all my quads tilt to one side

I'm having trouble find an answer on the TX16s charging LED indicator. What does it mean when the green LED is blinking? Green when charging. LED off when compete. I plugged the radio into my cell charger block to charge back up over night (10-12 hours of being plugged in). The next morning I find the green LED blinking and the battery only at 70%.

I've got my Jumper T18 pro with GNB 3000mAh 2S 5C 7.4v LiPo Battery For Jumper Radiomaster, do you know what the readings should be on radio setup? Cut off etc? I'm new to the fpv hobby and really looking forward to getting a drone and the Dji hd googles and having freedom of flying in fpv.

I suspect the 6-position switch is merely equally divided. -100 to -1 is 100 steps, as is 0 to 99. It's probably just due to the math OpenTX is doing. Also, somehow I missed how you get to this Analogs Test screen.

How did you measure the battery voltage in the radio please? It is not clear what your voltmeter was plugged into. Thanks

so i tried calibrating my 6pos switch and its all over the place I'm not sure why its freaking out. i would love some help sorting this out. its driving me nuts. I want to set my raceband channels to the 6pos switch for racing

Hello: I ve done the total calibrations with analog tests. all show100's. In my radio all my models throttle only goes up to 79%. I must have set something to make it happen on all models. inputs,curves, outputs all show 100%. Any ideas where to fix this? John

Hi! Would you know when im doing calibration my ail won't work it stays at -100 no movement thanks!

I had a issue were my radio went un calibrated after flying a pack every quad was flipping afterwards when were flying. Calibrated it and it was fine why did that happen.

Ive calibrated my radiomaster tx 16s same as you, sticks pots and sliders, all it get 100% and -100%. My channels are setup AETR but in Analogs test Ali inputs are 4, should be 1, ELE shows 3 should be 2, THR is 2 should be 3 and RUD is 1 should be 4. Im learning as i go but this dont look right please explain. Thanks

hi What do I do if I do not have a battery meter? I got my radio today with this company's 5000 battery. I do not have a battery meter. Why does not everything come ready like the big companies?

I watched this video twice, only to figure out that my axis was offset by the trim.

Why isnt my S2 pot more than 54?

John: I am a recent subscriber, as well as currently awaiting my registration email to join RCmodelreviews.com, as you've become an invaluable resource for me, being the proud new parent of a jumper t18! I chose this model in part based on the misleading description of the IPS screen having an upcoming feature of being a touch screen. I refer to this as misleading, because should this feature be supported in an update, we will need to purchase and install the digitizer ourselves, or have it installed. Had I known this at the time of purchase, I probably would have bitten bullet and purchased one of the more expensive RadioMaster models, however, I'm not finding the lack of touch as the deal breaker that I initially thought it might have been. Like many open source products, I'm overwhelmed by the potential of the device & software, and the learning curve is a painful process in my old age (46) but most definitely seems worthwhile, the cost savings alone over a Spektrum product with high channel count and half the features is staggering! I hope you'll be doing another live OpenTX class soon and I very much intend on donating via Patreon which I'll consider 'Tuition' for my education. Just waiting for my next paycheck! I did have one bad experience, scared the crap out of me, only had my tx a couple of days when I saw your video about the 3 calibrations one should do upon acquisition of a new tx, I had begun the battery calibration and when I touched the contacts from my my multimeter to the exposed battery contacts, smoke emitted from the tx & she went black! "OH SHIT!" I exclaimed as I disconnected everything, including the battery from the radio and when I plugged back in, nothing happened! I was starting to despair when I tried another battery and it worked fine, and it turned out that the battery had slid from the contact inside the battery holder. I haven't fainted this idea what caused this, though I'm certain I'd done something wrong, but, wow, I really thought I killed it! If I can figure out what stupid mistake I made to cause this I will update this message so that others can be warned and avoid my mistake.

6pos switch! It doesn't have 0 headspace between -100 and 100 so it counts 1 as it, and therefore every value to the right from center scips 1!

I see 99

Yep, seeing 99 on 6-position as well. All exactly the same as yours. Must be a software issue.

all the same 99
