This video continues on from my last video on setting up a model using ETHOS. I had a few people ask about setting up the SxR with ETHOS. So here is that video. In it, I set up my S8R receiver, this of course will work with the S6R too. I cover the quick mode, which gives you manual, stabilised, and self levelling modes. Plus a gain knob, to dial the stabilisation strength, and an Oh crap switch, to automatically level the model. I also cover how to reverse the channels if the stabilisation is not going the correct way.

Excellent, the SR8 Pro has never been this simple to set up in the past, I follow all your steps but could not get the stabilization to turn off and on, then I realized I needed to set Channel Range to CH1-CH16 in RF System now everything works perfectly! Great work I always learn something new from your videos.

@MrD 2 года назад

Thanks Bobby, I’m glad its all working. I do sometimes forget about the 1 to 16 channel range, as the new versions of ETHOS default to that.

As usual a very nice demonstration on set-up. Not nearly as easy as Spectrum but Ethos certainly makes it easier than before. Considering changing to FrySky because we lose signal periodically, not with FrySky but it still is more complicated, I’m on the fence.

@MrD Год назад

To be honest, once you’ve set this stuff up a couple of times in ETHOS, it becomes easy. There’s always a little learning with something new. But that little bit of learning will probably save you a lot of fixing models.

Hello Mr. D, thanks for the help with the Frsky Tandem videos, it's been really important. Could you make a video about SR receivers in hover and knife mode. It would be really cool.

@MrD 2 года назад

Hi Leonardo. I currently don't use the knife edge or hover modes of this receiver. I feel it would not be right for me to make a video on them with no experience of them in flight. But, I may have a model soon which I can test these features on.

@LuisCadavid-si5hc Год назад

Mr.D. I got it. By turning OFF the AUX1/AUX2 when you are in the SX-R function under Device Configuration , Ail2/Elev2 are enabled. It any of the AUX options are are on, those channels can be used for different functions. I got the hint out of your video for "Setting up FrSky Archer SRx stabilised Receivers". Thanks a lot

@vhoward1122 Год назад

Thanks for this. I found that I had to flash firmware version 2.1.0.FCC to my S6R for it to even bind with my X20. It would not bind when flashed to 2.1.2.FCC for some odd reason. But I just needed a refresher on the mixer settings as it's been a while since I set it up on the Radiomaster tx16s.

@MrD Год назад

Interesting. Is the RF firmware on your X20 up to date? It seems strange that the S6R needed older firmware.

@kitchenstrand 2 года назад

Doctor D. If you set a push button, on the back so you don’t do it in flight, add a delay and curve…. Sounds more complicated then it is. You click it those three times and easy, peasy… the dance happens per described. I have it working but need to find the directions again and share with credits to those who wrote it.

@mordyd1770 2 года назад

Just a couple of points, the 'oh crap' switch only needs to pass through centre 3 times in 3 seconds, then wait a few seconds for the Rx to go into self check and calibrate mode, once you have done the deflections, raise/blip the throttle to leave the calibration mode.

@rondekruijff2191 2 года назад

Hi Darren, nice video to setup the SxR receiver in Ethos. I followed the instructions thoroughly (twice). The switches are working. However I don't understand what the gain pot should do. I see its working in the mixer setup, but see no effect on their output on one of the three servos I connected. Also both stabilizor and Oh Crap switches are doing exactly the same. They respond on moving the receiver though. So apparently I missed something, or don't know what the next steps are. E.g. do I now need to adjust each output channel (expo, min max etc)?

@MrD 2 года назад

Hi Ron. The pot adjusts the gain of the gyro. So if you turn it anti-clockwise, the movements will get less, clockwise they will increase. This is easiest to see in the self-levelling mode. It can be really useful to crank the gain right up to test the stabilisation is moving in the right directions. Usually in flight this is around 30%, always less than half way. The Oh Crap switch from what I can tell, just puts it in self-levelling mode. It sounds like it's working. It just may be easier to see what's going on in a plane.

@darthflyer3427 2 года назад

Great video as i have many S8R receivers. Question, where did you get that cool little test plane?

I did further testing and found that if the maximum lower throttle limited less than 80% will disable the "self check" of the gyro. The upper limit has no effect.

@r.s.t.5680 2 года назад

Being a new owner of the X20S with no previous Frsky experience your videos are beyond valuable. My first setup is a flying wing using a S6R Rx. Set up the elevons as per your excellent video and everything works. Learned a lot too. Trying to incorporate the gyro has not gone as hoped. Have gone through the procedure 3 or more times but nothing happens on the model. The Rx LED flashes when heavily moved with gain doing nothing. In the "Mixes" the Gyro, Gain and OH Crap are greyed out no matter the switch positions. SxR (in Device Config) is set to Wing Rud Ele Ail although there is a setting for Delta wing ail/ Wing Flying which makes one control surface an aileron and the other an elevator. At this point I am gyro activation and use lost. Any ideas where to look?

@MrD 2 года назад

Hi there. If the mixes are greyed out, it sounds like they are never being activated. It's hard to guess what's going on. Can you contact me via my web site, so that we can see some images of the mixer for these.

@LuisCadavid-si5hc Год назад

Hi Mr.D Greetings from South Florida. My name is Luis Cadavid. Firs time I comment in your channel. I have watched many of you videos and they have helped me a lot. I own 3 FrSky transmitters, Taranis QX7, Horus X10S Express and two weeks ago I got a Tandem X20. The radio seems to be working fine. However, I am in the process of setting up an airplane with an S8R, but I can not get the second aileron to respond when in stabilization or leveling mode, no matter what I do. I think I have tried to set up the receiver 20-30 different times. I have even re-flashed the receiver from OpenTX and with Ethos. Only Ail1 responds to stabilization. Is there a way to define for the receiver from ETHOS whether you are using 1 or 2 ailerons? I believe in OpenTX you have that option, after you calibrate and run the SxR lua script. Do you think either the TX or the receiver, on of them is defective? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Also, I hope I keep receiving more of those excellent videos. Thanks a lot.

@colehallman9449 2 года назад

A note here there is a setting in HARDWARE under switch settings which is SWITCH MIDDLE DETECT DELAY. anything other than 0 and initialization does not work seeming no matter how fast you toggle

@MrD 2 года назад

Yes. I’ve mentioned that in my video for the SRx type receivers. It’s apparently set by default now. Though it could still be set to 100 if you’ve been updating from older versions.

@colehallman9449 2 года назад

@Mr.D - Falling with style thinking I might set the special functions that play tracks for middle of switch to trigger with virtual switch to delay on. Same result. Still they should fix. Also. Have you noticed if you set up throttle with a free mix that the trim doesn't work?

Yes. I noticed that when trying to create my own throttle. I think you have to use the throttle mixer at the moment.

The calibration should be fine. But I’d run the self check again just so that the throws from that radio are registered.

Darren, how can we achieve "Overide Channel X" in ETHOS? It would make using a switch for Hover Mode quite simple.

Unfortunately, it doesn't exist as it did in OpenTX. Instead, you would need to used mixes to achieve the same result.

I have been setting up a SR8 receiver and I am for some reason having an issue with the flap curve and the gyro gain on Pot 1. Every time I set up the gain on Pot 1, it copies the same curve to the flaps. If I set up the flaps it copies the same curve to the gyro gain. I had the flaps setup on channel 7 and I had the gain setup on channel 9. I tried moving the flaps to channel 5 and I still am getting the same issue with the curves wanting to copy to each other. I deleted the gyro gain on Pot 1 on channel 9 and made a new curve and it is still doing the same thing. I am sure it is something simple, but I am not getting it. I have spent several hours trying to figure out what I did wrong in the setups. I was able to get the gyro setup and all working but I can't figure out what happened with the two curves copying to each other. If you have any ideas, I would appreciate the help.

@roscomonk Год назад

Hi Mr D, Great video, Re: X20S, receiver S8R, using 4 channels: I have been through your set up procedure about 5 times yet both switches have same function, only turn the stabilization off or on? My receiver installation is "level reversed". Is it important that the receiver connections face the rear of the aircraft? as the current connections due to antenna placement are facing to the front? Also at level flight the elevator is pointing slightly up, is there a setting for levelling the elevator? the receiver was calibrated on a level surface. Please advise, Thanks Rosco

@MrD Год назад

Yes, the outputs should face the rear of the aircraft. If your switches aren't functioning correctly, make sure that Quick Mode is enabled in the SxR Tool. When you do the self check, try to get the attitude of the aircraft as close to level flight as possible. The calibration on a level surface is fine.

@@MrD Thank you for your reply. I have now deemed that my S6R (that was installed) is faulty, causing all sorts of stabilisation havoc. Now replaced with a S8R with a much better result on the bench, not yet tested in the air. What function does the centre position of the channel 10 switch do? On my Tx it seems to have no effect, just another off position of the switch? Does the quick mode switch stay enabled after the self check? My Oh Crap switch is set as a 2 position switch is that ok?

Dr. D. Is there any where you can direct me to re-programming the switch operation for stabilization, knife edge and hover. The switch operation and combination by Frsky is very awkward to use. In FROS I was able to set one switch with hover up.. center off… down knife edge. A different 3 way switch was self-level, up… center off… down for stabilization. I have totally failed in getting ETHOS to do such. Don’t know where to go for help. thanks in advance.

@MrD Год назад

Hi Fred. I did this in OpenTX using channel override logic. But, I don't believe that is in ETHOS. It should be possible in ETHOS, using logic and mixer. But I'll need to check over how it's all set up again. But I'll take a look.

However, I did not know that I could do this with a Radio and got the STK Tool, so I might as well use it. Easier said than done. The old software, which was called S6R Config Software is not available anymore. I read that the new software called FreeLink is now to be used. Anyhow, I tried everything, but nothing.

Been using these S6R receievers for a long while now and never had any trouble. Loaded latest S6R accst FW for D16 compatibility with X20 no trouble. Bound and calibrated using X20 no trouble. Self check and all separate channel gain adjustmens are grayed out, unselectable. Did this with 2 different receivers and same deal. Maybe the latest X20 FW is not working correctly with these functions? (addendum: FW v 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 leave above mentioned settings grayed out, inactive. FW 1.1.1 works as in your video). Another bizarre anomaly is if the landing gear are down and its in auto level mode, if you roll the aircraft inverted to check auto level it actuates control as expected but then the gear also retracts and extends as it's rolled through 360 degrees. Frustrated now as I have many of these receivers and am not about to replace them all. Also I did not know about the oh crap feature but never use it because if you are in autolevel mode it does the same thing and all you have to do is switch into autolevel mode from stabilized or manual switch position and aircraft recovers attitude immediately. Alos I think you can go pins forward you just have to go in and invert some control directions.

@MrD 2 года назад

Hi there. I did a check and found that the gain adjustments are greyed out if the SXR Enable is in the off position. This makes sense as there will be no stabilisation. If yours it on, it may be worth switching it off, exiting out, and switching it back on again. Maybe it will get it working. Just seen the addendum. Sounds like a bug in ETHOS in that case. It would be worth raising the issue on GitHub if it's not there already. I'll leave the first part, just in case it brings the options back. The retracts thing is weird. Do you have them on channel 5 or 6? If so, did you remember to turn on AUX1 Enable (for ch 5) or AUX 2 Enable (for ch 6). If not, it could be sending aileron or elevator stabilisation to that channel. The pins are always to the back with these receivers.

@MrD 2 года назад

I've noticed that there was a change in 1.1.2 for the SXR Self Check. So maybe that added the bug. I've noticed a 1.1.4 release now. I also looked for bugs reported for the SXR gains, but did not see anything.

Then take the SBUS out of the redundancy receiver and plug it in to the SBUS IN of the master receiver.

Found "MY" problem. It had nothing to do with the receivers or setup. "My" problem was with the Castle Creations e.s.c. setup. I do a "manual" setup of the e.s.c. First. Turn the radio and receiver on. Make sure your motor is not connected. Move throttle stick to maximum. Than in the throttle endpoints adjustments, reduce the maximum and minimum values to +25% and -25%. With the throttle stick still at maximum begin to increase the +25% value until to hear a couple of "tones" from the e.s.c. Than move the throttle stick to the "lowest" position. Begin to increase the -25% value until you hear the e.s.c. "arm" itself. The e.s.c. is ready to go. The problem is that these values are "TOO LOW FOR THE GYRO TO INITIATE SELF CHECK" Return these values to +100% and -100% and you'll be able to enter the "SELF CHECK" that is required to finish setting up the gyro.

Bobby, I designed and cut it myself.

Go for it. Though, if I were to do mine again. I’d 3D print the control horns. The glue is a real pain.

@@MrD Great idea, I`ll ask a friend of mine if he could 3D print a model similar to yours, thanks for the advice, keep up the good work.

Channel 9 (Gain) and channel 10 (Stabilization) cannot be reassigned. That makes pins 9 and 10 on the receiver "unusable" That's not acceptable ! The final calibration of the gyro, to find it's level position, according to your instructions, does not work on the SR10PRO. Your "Oh Crap" function, also does not work on this receiver.

@MrD 2 года назад

Hi Frank. You must have something setup incorrectly. I’ve just gone through the process and it all works. Channel 9 is gain. Pins 9 and 10 can be re-assigned. The Oh crap function (channel 12) works fine too. I will have a video soon. But I’m working away a lot at the moment. So my time is very limited.

@frank-vq4mx 2 года назад

@@MrD Thanks Daren. Yes I see that. It should be noted that channels 9 ,10,and 12 are "Virtual" channels. Thus making pins 9,10 reassignable to other servo functions. Still unable to do final calibration of the gyro. I'll keep trying. Just so you know. I spend many hours trying new programming and sorting out problems. It's always nice when things come together.

@frank-vq4mx 2 года назад

@@MrD I've tried this exact setup on three other SR10PRO receivers with the exact same results.

@blacksheeprcmodelers959 11 месяцев назад

this is all out dated. 1- self check has changed and is different. 2- if you upgrade your rx firmware the Sxr channels are 13, 14 and 16 instead of 9, 10 and 12

@MrD 11 месяцев назад

Not quite. The SxR receivers (the subject of this video) still use the self check switch and channels 9-12. They don’t have updated firmware. The Archer SRx receivers have newer firmware. So the self check is now done in the old SxR Tool. Not via a switch. But, the channels for stabilisation functions are still 9-12. The new Archer Plus SRx receivers have the new firmware and new tool (see my video on setting up the SRx LUA Tool). So they use the LUA tool to self check and the stabilisation functions are on channels 13-16. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gzc1VwEPfCE.html
