It is ALWAYS the best idea to support developers like this! The more people who adopt a software that is being well maintained and updated means it gets the updates and improvements it needs much faster than it will if only a few people are willing to work with them!

@TimsDrones 2 года назад

Been flying EdgeTX for a few months now - and 2.5.0 is just about perfect. Love the touch.

Because of you, I switched to Edge-TX on Nov 4, 2021 after I saw your last Edge-TX video. I'm still using my Taranis X9D+ SE in Rock Monster. And I learned something today.

@w1ldwesty 2 года назад

Been running EdgeTX since they released 2.5 on my TX16s and love it. Touchscreen support is great to have. Best feature, touchscreen keyboard for entering the model name, hated doing that with the scroll wheel.

@iamreallystupid1 2 года назад

I know you cover this in other videos, and I've fully moved to edge, but the otx devs don't owe us anything. Otx has been a driving software and has been ripped off by frsky and the like. It's still important to thank the otx devs who have done good work, and perhaps have moved on, or have no need for any of these new features because they're still flying old, unresponsive airplanes. Thank you to all the open source developers that make this hobby possible

@thirtythreeeyes8624 2 года назад

Without opentx there wouldn't be an edgetx so they contributed a fair amount I'd say.

@Lolindir_Fox 2 года назад

this helped TONS with DRL simulator, ( Radio: Eachine TX16S) I figure winter is just starting perhaps I can learn to fly throughout winter and be ready to build in the spring I had been playing DCL for a while and all the drones seemed to handle so differently in that game in DRL, whenever I was inside I'd barely touch the throttle and I'd hit the ceiling but after updating to Edge TX now it feels more normal and more responsive now I can hit really tight small gaps and fly much better inside buildings

Hey Joshua I wanted to ask you a question. As of right now does this affect a Tango2 ? In respects to the 500 Hz polling of the gimbals? If I picked up what you put down correctly you said that crossfire is going to support 500 Hz. Could you elaborate in your response if you have time to?

@ReggieRailSystems 2 года назад

Joshua, I switched the day you did the Edge TX install video and have been extremely pleased. Touch Screen makes this Transmitter (TX16S) sooooo Easy! Quick to get things done and just as easy to correct those goof-ups your dreaded to re-approach. I sincerely believe Open TX should give up the ghost to Edge TX and call it a day.

And just like that I’m now running edge tx. Thanks for pointing out these reasons. It was what you said about the telemetry disconnects that convinced me (I’ve been noticing that a lot on my x9 lite ever since I started using expressLRS and it always scares me to hear). Obviously touch screen support is inconsequential for me but nothing else was holding me back.

Does Edge allow the ISRM Protocol? I have not found a way to reg-bind my Archers or the R-XSR ACCESS on the TX16S. It sucks. Do you have to own a FrSky Radio now? So frustrating.

@Mr.Tiger.2013 2 года назад

Josh, you've convinced me successfully after I watched two vids from you about EdgeTX.. I was in between when trying to do the ExpressLRS mod for the Taranis X9D+ and the R9M. Realizing the rate limitation on the X9D+ and now OpenTX is the selling point. TX16S is probably my next radio. Time to say sayonara to new Frsky stuff and OpenTX.

@jefferydupuis6326 2 года назад

I ended up having to switch to EdgeTx on my TX16S so I could use ELRS! Whenever I would enable CRSF the radio would grind to a halt and become basically unusable. So far no issues, just the steep learning curve switching from my baby's first transmitter FlySky i6x to something as fully-featured as the 16s. Looking forward to getting further into the hobby and getting my quads (and planes) working on something from this era :D

@skesseks 2 года назад

the Radio Master TX16s is my first modern radio. And I jumped right to edgetx. so far no complaints. For info: my previous radios were a futaba 4 channel (cheapo), a JR x-388s (currently broken) and an v.1 Spektrum dx6 (working).I flew Helis (not well, and like 10 years ago) and only recently picked up quads (thanks DJI, bastards :) ) and love them. i have found that the JR and Spektrum are effectively non-function for the new drones.

Just noticed on Edge TX on my Jumper T18. I have special function that plays the value of channel 5 based on the designated 3 position switch . Channel 5 is my Gyro gain channel I fly helicopters. On Open TX it reports the value of Channel 5 output correctly. On Edge TX the special function plays the value of Channel 5 from its previous value. So it seems it is polling Channel 5 output before it changed . It not doing it on consistent bases.

It's probably been mentioned, but if you have models all set up in OpenTX, will they all have to be reconfigured after flashing to Edge, or is it a matter of copy pasting configs?

Only the screen layouts - all of your model and radio settings should be imported. And if they are not for some reason, then yes, you can import/backup in OpenTXCompanion, and then use EdgeTX Companion to write them back.
