Looks like you are going to be my go to guy for using this radio. I just bought my first S6R receiver for a wing build and you have walked me through the setup. I like your style of "training". You explain everything in such a clear and easy to understand way. Thanks for your help with this! 👍😊
Excellent video and very clear thanks. I have a couple of these and when I’m done with the calibration and happy with the setup, I move channel 12 to a momentary switch. That way it becomes a panic switch but without reactivating calibration in flight. 👍
That's a good idea for C12. I actually spent some time tuning Auto Level on my Stik the other day and once I got the elevator offset right I did a few trial runs for some of the guys at the field and they were impressed how well it recovered from any attitude I put the plane in. A momentary switch would be a very good option to use it after calibration. Thanks for sharing your tip with the channel.
Awesome, helped me setup my first SXR. Moving over all my planes to these, have spent too much money to not take advantage of tech like this. If ppl want to call using stab or level mode to fly better cheating I hope the next time they are flying in an airliner the pilot turns off EFCS, SCFCS autopilot and autothrottles.
THANK YOU John I have had these receivers for two years and and have used them mostly as a normal receiver because I couldnt figure them out . As of today I will never challenge you again from the length of this video I know you put some serious time into it Ill get a hold of you on your Email and get your address so I can send you something to test fly and keep And your the first guy I have watched about servo configuration is where I couldnt get it to work and high rates and low rates on Calibration I had low rates on Again John thank you so much I really Appreciate It Take Care My Friend
Thanks for the comments as always Robert. I'm very glad this content helped. You're definitely right, this video took me to the woodshed more than once. But it's done now and it's one I've really wanted to do for a very long time. I hope it helps you get your SxR receivers configured perfectly because they really are very very good at what they do once you figure out how to set them up properly. Take care, J
wholesome comments like the op, where strangers take the time to thank other strangers for taking the time to make these videos that help...well, strangers, its just very pleasant and refreshing these days. its almost like were not strangers lol keep it up boys!
Setting up my first S6R now. And this vid is equally as brilliant as all your other openTX vids. You have really helped me out a lot.👍 Heading over to Patreon...✌️
I have the SR10PRO receiver. It will not enter the "calibration" mode. Setup as per your instructions. All mixes were setup without issue. But receiver will not enter "calibration" mode.
Another great video. As we discussed at one point, I did get my hands on an S8R. I was able to update the S8R to the latest firmware (2.1.0) using the TX16S, very cool 👍. One thing to note, and hopefully folks will see this, if you are using 2.x firmware on your SxR receiver, you have to set the protocol in the Multi Module to FrSkyX2 D16. I’m embarrassed to admit how many times I tried to bind using the standard FrSky D16 protocol and just scratched my head wondering if something was wrong with the receiver. Funny how reading up on the different protocols on the Multi Module site can make a dumb person smart. LoL. So yes, it does work with the new 2.x firmware, the caveat being you need to be on a recent version of the Multi Module firmware and you also need to be using FrSky X2. 👍 Hope that helps someone!
Thanks for sharing that detail. Here's the protocol link in case you want to know what @the rc air marshall is referring to: github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md#FRSKYX2---64
I had the issue of non binding using the XJT module , I could not get it to bind. It was only when selecting the internal module to the settings above that it worked. Strange as I had the internal module set to off !
Great video, I am guessing that all of this applies to the Radiomaster t16 max edition as well. The question I have is, have you got full Telemetry on this, and would you think that this radio will receive the Amps telemetry coming from a FRSky Neuron ESC via the Sxr. Thanks in advance and for puttting up these very informative videos.
You're welcome. If OpenTx can receive the telemetry data you'll be able to see it on this radio. All of these tutorials apply to all of the OpenTx full screen radios and even Taranis--although a few menu items have been moved around.
Just started getting into Open Tx with the TX16S and your videos have been a great help in getting things sorted, without your videos I would be still scratching my head on how to. Really great content, cheers LA
Awesome. I’m glad they’ve helped you get started. Just take it a step at a time and watch lots of RU-vid videos. You’ll pick up all sorts of techniques for getting this radio to do what you need it to do.
Thank you very much for your reviews, but I ran into the problem of setting channel 11 on the FrSky S6R receiver, how I can’t adjust the flight on the knife, and hover on the screw, if it’s not difficult for you to make a video on setting up channel 11. Thanks.
Just wanted to say thank you so much for doing this videos your tutorials are on of the best out there! You have helped me so much. Yes it did subscribed. Thanks again, Robert
Many thanks for your great videos. I set up the control surfaces as you suggest before configuration so they work in the correct sense for the aircraft. On selecting a gyro mode I noticed that the gyro commanded the relevant surface in the wrong direction. I used the LUA script page 2 and inverted the appropriate surface and it inverted the control surface direction! This was solved by me returning to the normal selection and reversing all the servos for the affected controls . I was not expecting that. Have I missed something?
1) Put it in manual mode--no intervention from the stabilizer. Use outputs to ensure all surfaces move the correct way. 2) Put it in attitude hold (stabilize) mode. Use LUA script as necessary to reverse servos until they all move the correct way.
@@RCVideoReviews sorry I didn’t explain myself well. I followed all the steps above and all control surfaces worked correctly in manual and stabilised mode. The only error was that in stability mode the response to wind gust was in the opposite direction. To get a correct response then reversed the servo direction using the LÚA script but then all inputs in manual mode were reversed also. Very strange and now sorted as I just inverted the inputs to match the working stability mode. Many thanks
This is the best video on how to set up the SxR receivers I have viewed so far, and thank you for taking the time of creating this simple, step-by-step instruction. I have just successfully programmed my radio finally. Thank you,, Thank you. Alex, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada
Hi John, I studied sveral of your excellent videos and learned a lot of it. An issue I was not yet able to solve concerns my S6R/S8R receivers. I use edgetx 2.7 and the receivers have the level 2.3 for the FrSky firmware. Binding is fine (FrSky X2 with LBT(EU) because my location is Germany). I selected 8ch with telemetry. The normal functions are working, I could also calibrate and configure the receivers following your hints. But I'm not able to put them to the self check function (blue LED) via switch SA on ch12, for which I also checked the output. And the stabi mode switch (ch10 on SE in my TX16S) does not do anything what is described in your video "Radiomaster TX16s and FrSky S6R / S8R Setup Guide [Quick Mode]" I would highly appreciate your advice. Regards, Wolfram
If you have a bind and control over the channels on the radio, there has to be something missing in your radio configuration or in the LUA. I would do some basic testing like ensuring my switch movement showed as an output on the channel monitor. I would verify SXR functions enabled in the LUA script. I would probably create a brand new model and do nothing except add the self-check and mode switches and check again. I've used this template quite a bit and I know it works.
Thanks for all the information. I got a Archer plus SR6 mini which I want to use with my Radiomaster TX16S. I managed to bind the receiver in ACCST D16 mode (needed to upgrade to latest firmware). But the calibration failed to work. On the sensors page, I can see, that the signals are moving. But the lua script is not connecting. Is there any workaround? Do you have experience with the Archer plus series in ACCST mode?
This seemed so clear and straightforward until I tried to follow it with an SR8 Plus and my TX16S running v2.9.2. Right off the batt the receiver blinks red after plugging in power. It is not bound to the radio (in multi internal with external ELRS off) as no control over a connected servo exists nor will it bind (radio only provides for Frsky D, not D16, and the RF protocol only allows a D8 (or clone whatever that means in this context). Receiver set to 1 (my first attempt to bind something). Holding down an unmarked black pad (which feels like a switch) and then powering the receiver up results in a slower red blink for maybe a second, then a slightly faster red blink. At no time is there a green blink. At times upon movement there is a yellow flash which reverts back to solid red. What myriad of things am I doing wrong? Thanks
Was looking to upgrade my Horus X12s to the Radiomaster and found your video. Answered a lot of questions regarding SxR setup that I could not find through FrSky. Thanks for your efforts...........Subed :-)
Am sending you this as it was sent to me by Allishanmao ---- Its the best radio for Volantex planes LOL. Just setup a new model as plane. make sure its set as AETR (Aileron, Elevator, Throttle, Rudder) then go to multi protocol.and select V971 protocol. Setup a new switch on channel 5 in mixes. and use a 3 position switch. this will change from beginner, intermediate to expert mode (Gyro on and off) thats it. you do not need that dreaded one click return and one click aerobatics switches. forget them. Turn on the plane, turn on the radio and you will be bound to plane automatically. now check if your Channels are working in right order. remove the prop before testing this. if everything is right, go fly. Hope this gets to you ok best regards. Alan
WOW! This is EVERYTHING I needed to know... and then some. Great teaching method, informative without being onerous. Time to apply the learnings. Thank you!
The receiver must have both gyros and accelerometers in the circuit board. When you are on rate mode only the gyros are correcting. When you are in auto level mode both gyros and accelerometers are working. That's why you see what you saw when you played with the gains between the two modes.
Hi John, I have setup my S8R and works great. Picked up an SR8 Pro and can’t get past the registration part with my TX16s. Saw video with ETHOS but does me no good. Have you had any experience with SR8 PRO and EdgeTX? Jim
What would u suggest to do to prevent the gain knob from accidently being used? How can I save the gain position so I remember where it flies the best? Also, I was going to use the left slider for gain but on edgetx 2.8.0 LS is no longer an option under special function, or is it there but I can't see it?
I have had this receiver for quite awhile and could not get it to work. Thanks for this video. It is working and on top of that, I understand it. This should be called S6R/S8R for dummies. Thank you for this. Excellent work.
Ive just purchased a TX16 Mk2 and a S6R and this video has been priceless. Ill bookmark this one for sure. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Ahhh, clarity at last. The Frsky instructions are vague, to say the least, but thanks to John I’ve seen the light and my S8R works properly. Thanks again.
Hi awesome vid but im having a little issue, i have bound the radio and reciever which are working fine all functions working as should, ail, rud, ele, flaps and gear. But when i go onto settings it doesnt show a reading on the calibration setting just 0.00
I just discovered your channel, wow!!! I've subscribed. I bought a S8R 2 years ago and had to put it away. I read all the info I could find and watched all the videos. I could not understand how to setup the receiver. After viewing this video, I'm going to give it another try and I expect I will finally get it working. Great video with everything clearly explained and shown. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Hi new subscriber, would you consider doing a setup video with a Spektrum receiver or craft? I would like to know how to add flaps and a switch for the as3x technology... I own the valiant from e-flite.... thanks 😊
I’m definitely going to add a Spektrum Rx soon. In fact I already ordered a DSM Rx from Lemon but they can’t commit to a ship date due to C19 so I canceled the order. Definitely on my radar to add a Spektrum Rx video. Welcome to the channel! Edit: I just looked over the Spektrum Rx lineup--not very motivating to see their prices compared to other options on the market. Their AR636B is a 3axis stabilizer for $75. I don't think so. I'll be looking at DSM alternatives. I'm not going to subsidize that kind of pricing. The S6R is $30 and has 6axis stabilization.
@@RCVideoReviews thanks, yes I absolutely agree in fact I too ordered a lemonrx with stabilizer plus from this site www.buddyrc.com/search?q=Lemonrx+&type=product, as the official site wasn't promising shipping anytime soon. The item was received in good order I am now looking for how-to's for my radiomaster... thanks for the response
I am trying to bind a FrSky receiver SR8 PRO on my Radiomaster TX16S without sucess Radiomaster TX16S Firmware: OpenTX 2.3.14 module software 1.3.2.86 I also tested by updating the receiver firmaware to v2.1.8 but also not worked Anybody have an ideia, how to solve it?
Great video as per usual, you go into all the nitty gritty of the subject brilliantly. And I also enjoyed the end where you show some of your stuff ups while making the video, shows that you care about getting it right.
Thanks. How do I get the LUA scripts that I need for the SXR rx? I have EdgeTX 2.8 on my tx but I cannot see the required LUA scripts. I looked on Frsky's website and found the LUA script but that is for Opentx and not EdgeTX.
This is why I come here, thorough answers to seeming complicated topics. I think this will go in my next plane just because I've been Frsky curious for a while.
Hi, thanks for the vids….they’re a great help! I have a new tx16s max, I’m setting it up with the help of your videos, I’v just bound a S8R to it, the servos all operate fine, but I don’t have the S8R calibrate option on the (Systems)-(SD Card) section(4min into vid), any suggestions, much appreciated. Thanks
I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm having trouble binding an R9 STAB OTA receiver with the R9M module. The lights on the receiver show that it's ready for binding but never does. I already flashed the module to the newest firmware so I'm confused. This is my first rc build. Thank you.
Did you try frequency tuning? From the MPM Guide: If the receiver does not bind, and the RF Freq. fine tune option is available for the protocol, change the RF Freq. fine tune value to either -40 or 40 and try to bind again. If binding is still unsuccessful, continue to try higher and lower values in steps of plus or minus 40 until the bind succeeds. www.multi-module.org/using-the-module/frequency-tuning
I haven't tried frequency tuning yet so I'll go ahead and try that. I haven't updated the firmware on the receiver, only on the transmitter module, could that be causing the binding problem ? Thanks for the help btw .
Auto-level can be very difficult to control once engaged. Id encourage the use of auto-level on an intermittent switch while using Gyro mode on fixed position switch...
Pretty subjective statement. I've flown planes like my Dart on autolevel for 45 straight minutes. It may be difficult for you to control, but that is a personal issue, not global.
Hello John, I'm new to OpenTX, I purchesed a TX16S and a S6R receiver. I was trying to follow your step by step, but my radio doesn't show the calobration mode in the lua script. My radio uses version 2.3.11-otx. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Just for anyone who is having trouble binding there S6R... This was driving me or should I say flying me crazy! Then I was playing around will all RF Protocol and to my surprise I found one that worked. If your using a TX16S you normally connect to FlySky but on some of these receivers you have to choose FrSkyX2. I believe it must be an update. Any way that did the trick. Hope this helps someone.
S6R is a FrSky device using D16 which is a FrSky protocol. You can't bind to a FrSky receiver using FlySky protocols. They're completely different. Also, you use FrSkyX2 D16 for v2 firmware on the S6R. If you have a v1 firmware you need to use FrSky D16.
Thanks, that's very helpful. Once the calibration is done could the ch12 b changed to a momentary switch (button) and be used as the panic mode to flip the plane right way up? I have an additional momentary button on the back of my tx16s which I'm thinking of using as my panic button.
Excellent!! I am about to buy some receivers. I need something with a stabilizer. Do you recommend buying the new Archer Frsky generation? or good old SxR receivers? My radio is TX16S.
Hi Can you help on bindig please. I have a Frsky S8R receiver and cannot bind using EdgeTx. I have bound using Open TX both on the same Radiomaster tx16s. When I power up the receiver pressing the f/s button i dont get a green light, I get solid green and solid red light. Nothing I do seems to get the receiver bound?
Your tutorials are so concise. Without them I would be lost on this radio! I'm wondering if you might do a video on how to assign Auto level and stabilization to aileron 2 (ch5). It only effects my aileron channel, elevator and rudder. That is a mystery to me, as is assigning the auto level and stabilization gain to S1. 👍
In the SxR LUA can you can specify what the 5/6/7/8 channels do--including if they are ailerons/elevators which will include them in gyro outputs. Appreciate the comment.
been looking at this vid for the 3rd time... bought 3x a s6r;-) Still why the calibration on switch SA? If you have calibrated once is there reason you want to calibrate again? Isnt it just way more save to just delete the entire option on SA? Means you can be in trouble?
How do you set up all these little toy quads you get that come with their own controller? I have no idea what chips i in them or what protocol they use or anything. No RC channel ever does anything about how to use a multiprotocol transmitter with all these old RC toys with their propreitary controllers. Stuff from back in the Radioshack days even. I'd like to be able to just use my Radiomaster to control them all. So how do you find out what toy quad uses what proptocol and then set it up? Bardwell won't even touch it, I've done asked.
You're going to have to visit this page: github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md Look for the manufacturer, click on it and read the description and protocols supported. I think the problem is going to be binding. Every manufacturer has a different bind procedure so once you verify a protocol is supported, you're probably in for some quality Google time. Model manuals may provide some insight as to how to enter bind mode on the individual device.
When you done the calibration complete, it ask you to "press return on ready".. but then it goes back into calibration again. How did you manage to get out..? In your screen 5.50minutes you are starting with a new chapter. Did you disconnect the receiver first and reboot your tx?
Hi nice video thanks you! I have a problem, under special functions and Global function I lost all of my system settings. So if I want to put a motor cut off switch before is would come up as override but now I don't have that command and can't cut off the motor. can you tell me how to get these commands back? James
OK I understand that weights can all be reset after calibration. How about trimming? will trimming using the normal manual adjustment and mixing for say flaperons be OK?
I don't understand this question: "will trimming using the normal manual adjustment" Mixing is not impacted by the self-check. The self-check tells the radio about level and range of motion for the sticks. I believe it incorporates trims but haven't tested that one.
1) Make sure you have a non-ACCESS firmware on the radio. 2) Make sure if you have a 1.x firmware, use FrSky Protocol on the MPM 3) If you have a 2.x firmware, use FrSkyX2 on the MPM. 4) In both cases use D16
As someone new the TX16S, one trippy step is Frequency Fine Tuning. Could you please throw together a video explaining the how’s and why’s? And is it necessary for each Rx and protocol (I use both ACCST and DSMX)?
Your video about Open TX ,Radio Master TXs and RC items are very helpful. hank you very much. I have a problem with my S8R receiver. The throttle of channel 3 works correctly. However, all the other channel are fixed near neutral (5-7channel are exactly 1500ms) Then, nothing can be done after that. Do you have any solution ?
Set rates to 100%. Perform level calibration by having channel 12 pass through 0 3 times in 5 seconds. Wait for servo dance, then move your sticks to full deflection immediately after servo dance is over.
@@RCVideoReviews Hello Thank you. I 'm not very familiar with open TX mixer. Could you tell me more details of how to use channel 12. Unfortunately I can not understand [ channel 12 pass through 0 3 times in 5 seconds] because of my ignorance.
Subscribed, this was awesome. I was considering the S6R for my first fixed wing receiver but wasn't sure I could set it up with my TX16 MKII. I love how thorough you are with explaining. Do you have a version of this for EdgeTX?
@@RCVideoReviews Awesome, thank you. One more question - I've seen some people say the SxR's newer firmware makes it incompatible with the TX16. Did you have to downgrade your receiver's firmware?
My S8R refuses to go into step #5 - Self check. I have tried activating channel 12 with the mode switch in each of the three positions. I've moved the channel 12 SA switch at many speeds including as fast as I can flip it, 3x 5x 7x etc to no effect. Can't get a blue LED no matter what. I have a new RadioMaster TX16s Max set up EXACTLY as shown in your tutorial. I have TWO S8R receivers that I got a year ago (and then gave up on them when I couldn't make them work with my older Taranis X9d plus radio. The TX16s has been upgraded to the latest version of Open TX and the multi-module has been upgraded also. The receivers were previously upgraded to newer firmware, but they would NOT bind after firmware upgrade. I found a thread on the R/C forums that said this was due to the upgraded firmware. I reinstalled the OLD firmware on the S8Rs and they bound instantly. I tried upgrading the S8R firmware again, to see if it would work with the TX16s: same result, it would NOT bind. Reinstalled the old firmware and instant binding. The S8R is working okay in off mode; its working okay in wind fighting mode, but the ailerons are holding a turn and there is some up elevator when I put it in self level mode. The same thing happens when channel 12 switch SA is in the bottom position. I think these things would be corrected by a successful step 5 receiver check/calibration. So CLOSE..... but no cigar. One other little thing (or maybe not so little????). When I finished the receiver calibration (flipping it around until I got a yellow LED in each position) it said calibration was successful and hit RTN. I pressed the RTN button to no effect. I tried repeatedly. The only way I could exit was powering down the radio. I tried again, going through the 6 orientations until it said the process was successful. Prompted to hit RTN again. Couldn't exit with the RTN button. Had to power off. I'm wondering if this means that the first calibration was never fully completed? In you video there was a jump cut at the point.... I did NOT see you successfully exit with the RTN button. Is there a work around for this? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Brian Kuehn.
Did you move Channel 12 through the 0 position? You used a 3 position switch right? That's one thing I've never had a problem with completing on the SxR is the Rx self check. Look at your Channel Monitor on the Radio and make sure you see Ch12 going from 100 to 0 to -100 and back when you move that switch. The LUA script can be a little flakey sometimes on getting out of the calibration. I'm not sure what to say other than press RTN and the calibration should be saved.
@@RCVideoReviews I did use a 3 position switch ... the SA switch; I did check the monitor and it was moving through the 0 position. I assigned a different switch to see if it would change the result (SB) and no difference. I re-read the FRSKY instructions that came with it to see if I missed anything. Page 3 of the manual says: Automatic level: When selected, SxR will make the model return to level flight with internal three-axis accelerometer and three-axisgyroscope on AIL and ELE channels after the sticks being released to neutral. Automatic RUD channel works in stabilization mode only. I mention this as you seemed puzzled that the rudder was not corrected in Auto level mode. After literally 12 hours of fighting these receivers with my Taranis X9D plus, I bought a couple hobby eagle A3 pro stabilizers. These work perfectly and have a much wider array of modes available. They work really well but add another component and more cables. I could NOT get the RTN button to exit the calibration. I'll try it again. Thanks for getting back to me.
BOTH problems solved. I mentioned that I upgraded to the latest version of OpenTX and also updated the Multi-module firmware. Included with these was an update to the contents of the SD card. When I went to calibrate the S8R receiver I used the SxR_Calibrate.lua file. The updates had ALSO installed a different filed named SxR_Calibrate.luac. I backtracked and tried using the LUAC file instead of the LUA file and the RTN button worked to exit the 6 axis calibration and the channel twelve 3x switch flip activated the blue light and RX calibration. All modes are now working perfectly. Thanks for taking the time to create and post the video.
Hey man, I have one question: After you level your plane and do your final calibration (I use SB), can I change to the momentary SH for the "panic" switch? Also, I have to say that your videos are pretty much all I need to watch if I want to do something with this radio. I was at the field and I showed some guys (and lady) how I use my momentary switch T5 down for auto trim & T5 up for my timer reset and T6 for my throttle cut which leaves me more switches to do whatever I want. One buddy just bought the IX20 and went and bought the RadioMaster due to the useability (He sold his IX20). I just want to say big thank you for your time and effort!! Like Graywoulf, you are certainly my go to when it comes to this radio and ike many others (I'm sure) I could go on and on with all your videos I have watched and the things you have tought me to use with this radio.
Found if the receiver too close to the transmitter it will lose connection and the calibration will stop and have to start over even if it reconnects it won't let you continue.
ch12 can be used with switch SH the one way spring return switch. Istead of switch SA ......Using this you dont have to worry about leaving it on by accident. set up as follows Source SH. Weight.Minus 50 Offset plus 50.
@@RCVideoReviews what RX would you recommend for use with the tx16s and fixed wing sport planes 4-6 channel that is readily available, good value for money and easy to use. Thanks a lot. I'm sure you are busy.t
@@RCVideoReviews Thank You. Another (important) point on having throttle at lowest setting is that the Check/Calibrate will not initiate of the throttle is not at lowest point.
Is there a way of using the ch 9 gain function on a trim switch such as the T5 so you do not have to remember where you left the knob for the gain? I tried it by changing ch 9 to T5 but the trims did not do anything.
@@RCVideoReviews thanks but I tried what you suggested but it didn't work. It worked with all the other switches and knobs but not with the trim switches. There may be bug on v2.10.1.
I have the mode switch and gain switch setup, but for some reason on CH10 I am getting knife-edge and stabilize mode. Should be No-Mode, Stabilize, and Auto-Level. Any idea why? BTW if you leave CH9 without any offset you can revers the stabilize and Automode response.
Hi, thanks for the video! The best video on the subject so far. However, I discovered a strange phenomenon. If the gyro is deactivated via the 3 pos switch, the auto mode is still half active. I disabled my gyro but my plane would not fly inverted, the gyro kept trying to use the ailerons to bring the plane back to normal flight attitude. It took me a long time to find out what caused it. I have to set the AUTOLEVEL gain value to 0% in the gyro menu in the LUA script. This is the only way to fix the problem. The second strange phenomenon is that I have to manually calibrate the gyro before every start as soon as the lipo is plugged in, otherwise it cannot be deactivated via the 3 Pos switch and would be on permanently. Somehow I haven't been able to get along with this S8R gyroscope for 2 years. I discover new problems every time.
You need to make sure you don't have a switch on Ch12. i.e. When you turn the gyro OFF, it should NEVER influence the model. You're missing something. If you set the gain value to 0% for autolevel, you're basically changing the rate of return to level to zero and that's not good.
@@RCVideoReviews Thank you for your fast reaction. But in your video you say the ch12 is a 3 pos switch for calibration. You say nothing about the fact that I have to delete it again after the first calibration. Or am I not paying attention properly? I don't want the auto level feature at all. I just need GYRO AUS and attenuation.
@@derstanni You don't "have" to delete it. The problem is with that switch on, FrSky saw fit to invoke attitude hold mode. So while your primary switch may show the stabilizer is off, if Ch12 is on, the attitude hold mode will also be on. I try to cover as many scenarios as possible. Bottom line: If you turn off attitude hold, it doesn't hold attitude, it will simply react to un-commanded movement then return to neutral. If yours isn't working that way, you've missed something.
I don't understand this question. s.port is for sensors, not for video transmission. So I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with a vtx->s.port link.
@@RCVideoReviews I thought it was a smart port link to run lua script to change the vtx settings. However I have since learned that the vtx I am wanting to use does not have an osd chip and therefore would need a flight controller. Love your content!
Most definitely it does. Do not forget that step. Yes, you can reduce weights after calibration. Highly recommend 100% weights for throws after self-check.
@@RCVideoReviews OK I understand that weights can all be reset after calibration. How about trimming? will trimming using the normal manual adjustment and mixing for say flaperons be OK?
It comes with the stock sd card contents. Nothing gets auto installed on opentx radios outside of what is included on the sd card contents from the developers.
hope I can get help..I have SxR enable but then I dont get any movement when on the sticks only throttle works, But if I disable the Sxr all servo move but no stabilizer this is on the jumper T18. it used to work fine when I had the frsky X10 radio.
@@RCVideoReviews yeah I did ..did the part on Self check and moved the stick is what fixed it.. Bit oddly I whent out to the field turned on my T18 to all missing model profiles. Not sure why that happens..got home and added them back on from my old save backup..only one I didn't backup was this one..will work on it more when I get home from work.
Thanks. When I have the rx plugged in and it's configuring my tx16s keeps saying rf signal critical even though the tx only a meter away. Due to this the rx never manages to complete configuration and it is continuously in the searching mode.Any idea what I can do to prevent it from losing signal?
See this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-08W8usnP0dA.html And make sure you keep the TX/RX antennas in the same plane (horizontal/vertical) and provide some separation to avoid swamping.
@@RCVideoReviews unfortunately that did not work for me. I gave up for a while but now want ro get to the bottom of it. So the signal is fine at all other times, reading over 100 rssi. However when I enter the calibration and configuration modes the rssi drops significantly preventing me from completing these steps. I have moved the tx away from the rx and even moved to different locations but to no avail. I have three of these rx's and they all do the same. Could it be the lua script that perhaps has a bug? What could be causing this rssi issue? Help please.
I have never used an LBT EU Rx so I have no troubleshooting experience I can share. I did find this though. What firmware do you have on it? www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3635113-FrSky-S6R-bind-to-Radiomaster-TX16S
@@RCVideoReviews Hi John, No, I haven't been flying for about 5 years since my dad's health started going downhill. He passed away in May at 94 and have been having difficulty making ends meet without his SS income. If I can't secure a reverse mortgage, will have to sell the home I've been living in for 65 years. He had a line of credit that we have been paying down, but it's now left to me to pay off.
What a fantastic tutorial 👌 I really appreciate the time and effort you have put into helping other's, keep them coming thank 😊 you😀 so much absolutely brilliant.
Panic button? Personally I would remove Ch12 from the mixer after the Rx is setup. You can use the mode switch to enter stabilization and autolevel modes. If you want to put autolevel on a momentary it would be easy enough to do.
I’ve accidentally left the calibration switch in the wrong position after taking off and the plane flew in auto level mode even though my “auto level” switch was set to stabilization off. It felt like I lost the plane. I wound up landing it with rudder and elevator only. Once I got it on the ground I realized what I did. The calibration switch really just isn’t needed after you calibrate. Just another one of those things that can go wrong especially if you don’t fly the plane for a little while.
Hi i have followed this video exactly, my issue is my receiver will not go into self check mode, on channel 12 with a 3 pos switch, or with the f/s button. Has anyone any suggestions?
@@RCVideoReviews yes, also when I toggle I do get the chicken switch reaction from the servos, just no blue light or self check procedure. I'll set up another model in the tx to make sure nothings gone awry with the current one.
