Great vid as usual Lee! - worth pinning a message to mention that @4:48 the latest TX16s you need to plug into the USB socket at the top of the radio (bottom one is for charging only) in addition, on this version you don't need to remove the SD card, the radio can be used as the cardreader. Turn radio on, plug in USB to top port then select "USB Storage (SD)" When the popup appears.
As usual, very informative, thank you! I believe that in one of your previous videos you mentioned that the name of the updated firmware should not be too long, otherwise it would not show up in the Taranis flash-menu. Just to remind those who, like me, wondered where the update had gone.....
Many thanks for your clear and concise video. Followed your steps and now that's the flashing message away and my radio's firmware has leaped to V1.3.1.92. Cheers. I've just subscribed.
Thanks, Lee. It worked just fine. I always wonder just what do folks who don't follow guys like you do with their radios? Regardless, I appreciate it. Incidentally, mine went to 1.3.1.49 as of today.
My Eachine radio is flashing "Module Update Recommended" message. Seems straight forward enough, however, not sure which module update to flash it with. To date there are updates for the 4-in-1 and the CC2500 Radiomaster radios. Which do I use for the Eachine? Help...!
I am not sure which file to download for multi-protocol firmware as my radio is RadioMaster TX16S MAX Limited Edition 2.4G 16CH Hall Sensor Gimbals Multi-protocol RF System OpenTX Mode2 Radio Transmitter with CNC and Leather for RC Drone - Purple. The 2 choices are the RadioMaster TX16S internal module (4 in 1) or The RadioMaster TX16S SE internal Module (CC2500). Can you help?
Thanks again for sharing! I really enjoy Your video's and still learning a lot from them. Do You know if it's possible to flash the external IRange irx4 module in a Horus X10S Express the same way that You just demonstrated in this video? I've seen some video's where people are taking the module apart, soldering on connectors and flashing it with Arduinos, but should it be necessary? Thank You in advance for taking the time to help out!
Am I correct in thinking that the r xsr would be the 'inverted' update yes? as I am not using the uninverted pad. The current version on my radiomaster does not specify what it is set too, just gives the version number.
unsure if this is the right place for this questin but. why does my tx16s say protocol invalid when i try to use flysky as i have a few drones/planes with flysky receivers and dont want to have to upgrade. thank you in advance
I have problem. Short history last time I playing micro brushed and I use irangeX for multi protocol. I upgrade my tx (taranis QX7) with edge tx for use elrs And now I want use again can't bind and status upg. Adviser. Can you help for my case? Because at video is internal multiprotocol
HI just watched your update video and updated my tx16, but I am still getting a message status saying. Module update recommended V1.3.1 1.36 AETR can you help me fix this please thanks Dave
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT MY RADIO TX16S, I OBSERVE MY MODULE STATUS SETTING IS T A E R, RADIO SET UP DEFAULT CHANNEL ORDER IS A E T R, THROTTLE STICK MOVE CH#3 AND AILERON STICK CH#2. the throttle stick synchronize on radio set up??? aileron stick synchronize on module status??? IF I SYNCHRONIZE RADIO SET UP A E T R WITH MODULE STATUS A E T R. the throttle stick is now ch#2 ??? and the elevateur is now ch#3 ???? I THINK MY RADIO DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, WHAT I CAN DO ?????
The channel order for the firmware you flash onto the MPM needs to match the same channel order used on the radio. The reason this is so important is that the MPM will 'move' channels about when you are using a receiver that needs a specfic channel order (Spektrum is TAER for example). Check out the wiki github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module Best of luck!
@@Painless360 Thanks, I tried multiple locations but no luck. I managed to plug it in via USB as it's an irx4+ and use the program to flash on a bootloader and update it that way in the end. Thanks
I've not seen that here but that could mean that the module you have doesn't have a bootloader. Lots of things in the forums so I'd check those out for some ideas. Best of luck with it...
Question, I was prompted to upgrade the multimodule in the Radio Master TX16s. I have updated the module to V1.3.3.0 now the radio will not bind to either of my receivers a S8R or the RX8R pro. Can anyone provide a little help? Thanks
Hi, I nevwr flashing/upgrade firmware before, So does it delete all my model I create before after flashing new firmware? If copy only tool files without flashing, can it works ?😅
I have the irangex irx4 in a Qx 7, that I did this update on a few weeks ago. After the update the module will not bind to any of the receivers I was using previously. Any ideas on where I could have gone wrong?
Great Vid Lee, I had the flashing reccomend module update so..I followed the video, I have the stm32 Banggood 4 in 1, Taranis X9E, when I flash external multi however, I get an error to do with sync? any suggestions? current version on module is V1.2.0.22 Thanks
Hi Lee. I did the update to 1.3.2.12 today, but the error is still there. When I got my FrSKY X8R I did the update to the "older - history version" from www.frsky-rc.com/x8r/ but still not good. Should I go for the 2.1.0v? What do you think? Cheers!
I am about to build my first drone and I am really confused which radio to buy frsky x9d Or jumper t18 Or radiomaster tx16s? Frsky has reliability as well as dedicated receivers And most of the aftermarket hardware supports x9d but I am afraid that maybe in future it won't even support Crossfire as I am about to buy crossfire also, the jumper is good but again the previous model has issues like internal charging, ribbon cables and on the other hand the radiomaster is nice but don't know how reliable it would be in long term. Which radio should we buy as of August 2020 irrespective of it's price? Or should we wait?
I downloaded the right bin file and put it in the firmware directory. But when I click on this file with the QX7, I only see: Copy, Delete or Rename. No flashing options...
It's not critical but can help you spot when you may have channels in the wrong order for the protocol you have selected on the model you're using. See the later video in the playlist that covers this... th-cam.com/video/Nii4ElEbg6s/w-d-xo.html
Great video and explanation. Apparently idiot-proof, I was successful! Fell down this rabbit hole attempting to set up my Eflight Extra 300 with A3SX abilities. Wanted to explore DSM Forward Programming, requiring updating OpentTX, followed by getting warning msgs about the SD card version and the Module software. Followed your videos on both and as mentioned, it looks to be idiot-proof. Any experience with DSM Forward Programming? Cheers!

Thank you for making this! You saved me a lot of pain (and possibly money)
Awesome, thank you! This explained why I wasn't seeing the Frequency Adjustment option. Saved me a ton of time!
Glad it helped!
Love this radio, so easy to use now with touchscreen. 🥳
Thanks, Lee. It worked just fine. I always wonder just what do folks who don't follow guys like you do with their radios? Regardless, I appreciate it. Incidentally, mine went to 1.3.1.49 as of today.
thank you i love how thorough you are definitely makes it so much easier
Thank you so much for these videos. You have helped with so many confusing things!
Thank you again and thank you 😊 🙏 again. Simplify at its best 👌
Awesome "how to" video. Short and to the point thanks .
Awesome timing Painless...I literally just ordered a 4 in 1 module for my Nirvana NV14. Thx you for this🙌🏾🙌🏾
Excellent video. Very easy to follow and clear instructions.
Thanks you are the best. From denmark
I feel like some kind of king having received my tx16s already
Me too!
Thanks another excellent video.
Pretty simple! Thanks a lot, Lee! 😃

My RM16TXS is set to Edge TX, will putting in a Bin file make any difference?
Thank you for your video. It helps a lot.
great video again - thanks for your help
An oldie but goodie! Once the MPM is flashed to newer version, do you have to rebind models or redo the frequency tuning? Or just flash and go?? Thx!
Should just work. The binding ID should be unchanged. Best of luck
Simple and clear, thanks for all your tutorials!
QQ: After successfully upgrading, is it fine to delete the .bin file from the FIRMWARE folder?
Yes, but I tend to keep them in case I ever upgrade and want to go back... Happy flying
Very helpful indeed!

Can you help for my case?
Because at video is internal multiprotocol
Make sure that the external module is set for ELRS and try different port settings if you don't have an inverter mod..
It was great help!!!!!!

Thank you!!
I've tried the steps suggested but my bin file is not visible to Opentx, I've tried loading it onto the SD card directly and via usb storage mode.
Sounds like it is in the wrong place on the SD card. All of the steps that work for me are in the video... Best of luck
@@Painless360 Thanks, I tried multiple locations but no luck. I managed to plug it in via USB as it's an irx4+ and use the program to flash on a bootloader and update it that way in the end. Thanks

not sure what you're asking.. Full steps covered in the video.. Best of luck!
Hi, my question the same. Did you try it? Copy tool files only without flashing firmware. Does it work?
I purchased a TX16s ELRS. Can I make it into Multi protocol by just flashing it?
Nope, it's different hardware... Happy flying
Great. I just need to receive my Radiomaster shipment now :)
You and half the RC world community. :)
@@theoztreecrasher2647 Indeed. RDQ said they got a shipment of them in today. I hoping that I'm that far up the queue.

Does it work with EdgeTX? I am running Edgetx
EdgeTX is an Opentx varient, but I'd expect it to work.. Happy flying
Helpful video, thanks. So if i need to update an external module like the iRangeX i have to select flash external multi, is it correct ?
Yes
I have a QX7 with the iRangeX IRX4+ external module. I wonder how I can check which version I have so I can download the right bin-file
Use the one that matches the same default channel order in your Opentx setup.. Happy flying

bert beinaaf I have the same problem!
@@bertbeinaaf8314 my problem is that i can´t select the file. It isn´t visible in opentx. Should a rename help?
Soft Cell Yes it does. I saw that in a video from CurryKitten I believe. He shortened the name and after that it showed up.
thanks for the video. I did what you did. My warning is still flashing.
thank you
You're welcome
What was the point of downloading MultiChannelsUpdater.lua? You did not use it. Do I need to run this script after FW update?
It's not critical but can help you spot when you may have channels in the wrong order for the protocol you have selected on the model you're using. See the later video in the playlist that covers this... th-cam.com/video/Nii4ElEbg6s/w-d-xo.html
Well I tried this, but I have a MacBook Air. I’m not able to copy onto the radio. It isn’t giving me the option.
