I know it's a beginners guide but maybe helpful for some: If you can't reach the bind button, reset the receiver before updating tx module, it'll go into bind mode next power up automatically.
Never misses a single step. I can always count on you to have everything I need to know about my gear. Good job! I love the fact that I can configure my vtx via the receiver.
Crossfire was a great upgrade to rid myself of the Frsky protocol using my QX7. No complaints and a bit better user friendly experience than ELRS. I left Crossfire for 2.4GHz ELRS last year and have no regrets with a superior F1000 radio link for LOS flying.
Still using my OG full size 2W module from these days and that thing just works and never dies and never failsaves. I even accidentally forgot to turn it off and it full powered without an antenna until the battery was emty and it survived. TBS is just making really good tuff. Also went through a lot of their receivers and VTXes through all these years, no problems!
So after I dragged the files over to my RM TX16s SD card I can no longer get the long hold scroll wheel menu to show up. Long holding the scroll wheel does nothing now. What happened?
FWIW new Boxer old CRSF. I module followed your instructions TBS Agent Lite came up "searching for devices". After a few power cycles and trying to figure out where I went wrong XF Micro Tx came up and I'm good. Thanks for everything. I'm going to make a contribution. Soon.
hello joshua i have a question i hope you help me, i'm lukas and i have a taranis qx7s with a tbs crossfire module a buddy tied my 5" quad back then (a year and a half ago) now i've bought a meteor 65 crossfire editon and i've been trying to connect it for a month but i just can't get it to work i've tried so many things but i'm no tech genius. I hope you help me :D
The "My VTX" feature eliminates the need for fiddling with vtx tables ( BF4.3+ now makes vtx tables easy, but MyVtx means no tables). I was also surprised how many situations it is more useful than the BF OSD Smart Audio, because you dont need to have a video feed to change your vtx settings. Great if you're crashed out in the field, or on the bench.
Cant figure out the connection now. Starting to think my cross fire rx is bad. Doing this wierd thing where the rx is green like its paired. (And it sort of is). But my tx shows like a yellowish light. Which it should be green (meaning binded) and I dont know why its yellow. When i push the button on the tx. The tx goes into the green blinking mode. Which is pairing. It also makes my rx red (not bound anymore) Soon as i stop binding mode on tx. It turns back to the yellowish on tx but rx is now green like if it was connected
I totally appreciate your hard work and these tutorials. My Tango 2 was shipped with everything wrong. Biggest problem was the gimbals, too much *grease* and calibration errors. Could not get it perfect until I took it apart and did some spring cleaning. Only then, was it perfect. My BetaFPV Lite Radio3 and Zorro were perfect with gimbal calibration. All others needed help. Then it was shipped 868 or whatever! Changed that too...(even though at close range there was not difference). But step outside of that range, my FRSKY was better or the same. But was it? The antenna looked attached, but not really....just silly how that was my fault for not checking when it was taken apart. But again, No buyers remorse. The gimbals feel really good, the binding was easy and the less is more approach is nice. I also had not a clue about *dynamic power* and some of the other functions. Ohhh, under settings called "Op Mode" , it was on *Forced Tele*...so I switched that too. Now in binds up/makes connection real fast. Not sure why, but everything seems better too.
Yeah my Op mode was also on force telemetry which I think makes it run at 5hz packet rate which is basically unflyable on a multirotor. Almost lost my quad over a mountain as a result. Doh!
There is also an option in crossfire to control the max. dynamic output by a switch, i use it to prevent the module from going to 2W when there's no rx plugged in.
@@twinturbostang depends on what output levels are used, i have set it to 250/1000/2000mw, but yes if the lowest one is 10mw then you might want to put some logic with an arm switch in there.
Alright Josh? As soon as I plug a Lipo in, my quad starts beeping and doesnt stop. How do i get it to shut up? I've turned off usb tab under beeper configuration in Betaflight, but it's just constantly beeping as soon as it has power. It's well annoying as Im waiting for update/bind etc. Thanks.
Hi Joshua. Thank you very much for your work. I have a question. In the TBS settings I can assign the Serial RX and Serial TX contacts. But I still haven't found a clear explanation on how to use them. Maybe you have a video where there is an overview on this topic?
i have a tx16s and a tbs nano rx that i just put in my quad i stuck in the step where the tx16s i having a blue ring light on the modulke and reciever(nano on the quad) is green. but it will not respond to activationb ocn the killswitch to set quad in idle and take off.
So today I resurrected my X9D-plus flashed up to date firmware no problem. Flashed new TBS crossfire micro also no problem but when I open new model on my radio and try to set external RF to CRSF the radio simply blinks out and returns to the menu with out changing to crossfire. Tried different models and reflashing everything and searching but it doesn’t even seem to be a problem anyone else has had? Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Hello. I need to use a mark5 o3 crossfire version with a dji fpv remote controller 2 (using the o3 air unit). How is it possible? Do i need to disconnect any cable from the crossfire? Thank you a lot.
I have noticed with binding out of the box is that my nano and sixty9 were shipped in 868 and I would have to temporarily set my Tx to 868 then it would bind and I could set it back to 915
I had to update from 4.03 because of a new v3 RX i got low rsssi and found the rx jumps to 0w pwr after power cycle i use the channel 12 for Rssi/lq .. so my problem is the rx dont save power output max pwr. i run dynamic set up. would be very thankful for your advice
Great refresher course on crossfire. Made me realize I haven’t updated in a while am I’m behind. Lol. I hope to see you do an updated video on the ghost system soon. @JoshuaBardwell
thanks once again!! @joshua bardwell which sd card file should the tango 2 pro have if its updated to all the latest public firmwares i keep getting a bad sd card content error on startup and wont bind to any rxs after even after reset.
How much do you want to show us how to make a ground station tripod with a walksnail and a crossfire module on it ? So we can fpv inside with a projector screen and have the spotters outside ? Or is that even possible ? A small whoop or radio controlled car even ?
I really wish someone would put together a buying guide, TBS crossfire fpv whoop/controller/goggles etc. video. There is literally no video out there explaining this. Only "get a DJI goggle/controller" for easiest use.
I have a question for you, how long does it take to update these? Im stuck on 6.17 since I have gotten my micro. There has been 6.19 since atleast september when I first got mine. It seemingly fails each time going on 6.19. Bricks the module and its a whole hour process to get it back on 6.17 and working again. Half the time on 6.17 it fails to update. What am I doing wrong lol. Doesnt matter the pc I use, or web or desktop versions.
If the module refuses to update over USB, I think I would have to contact TBS support about that. It should only take perhaps 5 minutes to complete the flash. If the flash fails, bootloader mode should restore it in the same amount of time.
I really appreciate all the help through your videos which are super informative and helpful so far! Anyway my crossfire Rx and Tx seem to be faulty or unable to bind. Rx shows a solid green light (FC solid red) and pressing binding buttons doesn't get me into binding mode at all. Tried everything I found in the web and followed manuals RX TX versions are the same but still don't know what to do now. If anyone has a lead where to start troubleshooting I would more than appreciate it.
hai sir, i have installed crossfire filmware and sdcontents. the folder appear on my taranis qx7 then after i executed i found my crossfire nano reciever but i cannot select or click it. can you help me with that?
@@leea4839 yes, i fix it.... install Tbs on laptop than or use qx7 to update your crossfire, then only you can access. but for my i cant do with qx7, i use laptop.
@@M.TTT. Hey mate, I ended up following a different video and manually bound my receiver to my QX7 which worked. the youtube video is called 'How to bind Crossfire and Taranis - the EASIEST and FASTEST way (no luascripts!)'
@leea4839 ah alright, thank you for replying! I actually ended up updating my qx7s to the lastest openTX x.x.15 and then it finally worked with the crossfire nano TX module with 6.36 firmware. Both my nano receivers also bound and updated fine. I see they have "edgeTX" for radios now, but I didn't feel like risking it switching over.
I have a Spektrum IX14 for all of my Helicopters and planes. Is it worth it to buy the module or just buy another transmitter for drones? I'd like to use my IX for all of my aircraft.
Great channel and great work at all! Thank you! I just updated my crossfire micro TX to 6.19 which says it reenable the CRSF V3 protocol. But in my TX16S it still shows me CRSFshot. Could you explain me why? Is this right? Is V3 a kind of shot? And on the external module screen I could set the baudrate. Now its on 400k. Could I set this higher or is this the max. rate CRSF micro TX supports?
I'm sure this is a fantastic video...and I will watch it once I am able to finish processing the fact that January 2021 was TWO YEARS AGO. Thank you. [Wait, it's not 2020?!?]
Hello Mr. Bardwell and thank you very much for your videos and invaluable guidance! I have a Taranis X9D Plus bound to a TBS CROSSFIRE TX LITE Long Range Transmitter and my OLED screen, in the back of the TBS agent, is so dim that you can hardly see it's working! Does this sound familiar to you? Thank you very much in advance and I am sorry for any inconvenience!
@@JoshuaBardwell Stays in red, no matter how much or little I press the button. Pretty strange. However, a couple of desperate restarts got it working and binding correctly now! No clue of what it could have been. After that, the rest of the guide helped me with the rest of the configuration! Thank you very much!
Thanks @JoshuaBardwell. My crossfire telemetry is giving me big headaches. Rxbt is continously jumping from the actual battery voltage to 100% voltage, messing up the battery alerts on my radio which require 4s or more below 3.6V per cell to activate. Similarly I have continous drops of the signal and RSSI and all connected values go to minimum for a fraction of a second. I did weeks of troubleshooting, including buying a new radio (good excuse, lol), testing 2 different drones with the same TBS Nano RX module (same result), changing frequency, power, RF profile etc... Is there anything else I can try? PS Note that my drones were purchased 3y ago with Betaflight 4.1 and I now updated to 4.4 with some trouble in setting them up again...
Yes, on both receiver and transmitter. It’s very strange, really. I did lots of research online but could not find anyone with the same issues. It looks like a continuous interference causing this, but I would understand that being an explanation for the signal drop, but battery at 100% really doesn’t make any sense
Hi Joshua, I have Tango 2 Pro V3, a lot of articles online talking about TBS Crossfire Nano RX tracer that you mount in the back of the controller, can you share some thoughts on it. Thanks
good evening and happy new year my friend I need your help. I have a graupner mc-20 transmitter and I want to make it long range. has not set for an external module. Is there a way to change the transmitter? thank you very much and keep up the very good work you guys on youtube.....
After updating the TX, the receiver should still be bound. If you power up the TX and put it into bind mode, then power up the RX, it should immediately say, "Update RX?" without needing to press the bind button.
@@antoineozaneaux6881 Depending on the version jump you have to rebind all recievers. Another comment mentioned the workaround to reset reciever first, so it will go into binding mode next time you power it up. Makes it a bit easier.
Is it possible to move Crossfire Tx V2 module between two radio transmitters? I have one TX module and want to move it back and forth between my Radiomaster TX16s and Jumper Pro and be able to fly the same quad without setting up all switches (arming ...) each time. Appreciate any help
I hate software that forces you to register an account with the company for no good reason. The Agent X application allows you to skip account registration/login. At least for now anyway. But the Agent Web does not. You have to create an account to use it.
Im on Betaflight 10.9 configurator runninf BF 4.4 on my Diatone mamba f722 APP, and for the life of me i cannot get stick inputs to show up in betaflight. I checked the ports amd tried rewiring the rx and tx wires to different port numbers with no luck. also running agent lite version .92 with tango II xf version 6.19 and the RX firmware is also v6.19. Has anyone else been having this issue at all? This video was great help for me to get to know this radiomaster boxer i just got. With all of this crossfire hassel i might have to swith to 2.4 and move to ELRS but I do like TBS and crossfire but this hassel just may not be worth it any help woullld be aweeeesooomeee
Josh, Mate help please, Boxer......Did the agent lite update, But where you skipped those files to update, I replaced them to update to 0.96, Now Tbs Agent lite will not load form the first TOOLS menu.....Error message reads......(Syntax error ?:0 attempt to call a nil value)......It will load from...Scripts/TOOLS...This is the only way to open Tbs Agent Lite.......and I'll be buggered if I know! Cheers mate, Jas.
Well that was an adventure, I deleted the 2 TBSAGENTLITE lua scripts in tools...Not the TBS agent lite folder... Then went to my taranis saved sd files on pc and used those 2 lua scripts from it's sd card.....which is on EdgeTx 2.8.3.....Copied the 2 lua scripts over to the Boxer sd and Bingo! All there and working as it should....still weird! Cheers mate.
When I go into radio setting in Agent Lite on my FrSky DX9 Plus, I dont see the option to set the region. My menu is: Max Power, Dyn Power, Power Switch, Encryption. As of late, I have switched my FrSky from ACCST to EdgeTx and have a Crossfire Tracer Tx module with a Tracer Rx on my Flywoo LR. I have flashed the board in beta flight to the latest firmware, added the lua script to the Tx and setup a model. I am able to bind to the model but cannot get any channels to work. My stick inputs dont show up in beta flight or the Edge Tx companion in simulation or calibration. I can plug the FrSky into my computer and play Uncrashed, but nothing seems to work outside of that. I have tried both UARTS in bata flight, reflashed the both the FC board and the controller with no luck. Anyone have any ideas? Im about to give up on this.
@@JoshuaBardwell I bought the quad a few years ago and believe it originally had a frsky receiver. I put a TBS Tracer Rx on it… if I flash the quad with the suggested firmware, could that be why it’s not receiving a signal?
I tried the 150hz preset with dynamic mode off. My Tango 2 was yelling at me way too much about LQ so I went back to Dynamic mode. I don't mind it but maybe I would be a better pilot without it....who knows.
In the last video you recommended staying on 8 Channels. Do you meanwhile know the "disadvantages" when switching to 12 Channels as you know recommend to use all 12 Channels now?
Yes finally the answer has been revealed, and it turns out it was what I guessed all along. When you switch from 8ch to 12ch mode, the aux channels are polled at 1/2 the rate. So 25 Hz or 125 Hz. Instead of sending ch. 4-8 in every packet, it alternates between 4-8 and 9-12. So if you were using the channels to drive servos, the update rate might be unacceptable, but if you are simply using them as aux channels with a multirotor, it's fine.
@Joshua Bardwell I'd like to ask you about 8vs12 channels before (2 years ago) you claimed that 8 channels is the better than 12 channels (because TBS said so without any reasonable explanation) and now 12 is OK? What has changed?
I still remember the days when you and TBS wanted to "kill" each other. It's nice to see that you are friends know. Today I learned from you how to make friends with former enemies and I got a looong list... 🤣
Had an issue where i bound the crsf nano rx and after replugging it started to radiply blink green.. after some digging i tried to reflash current software (6.19) no luck same scenario, downgraded to 6.17 same scenario.. back to 6.19 and tried the emergency update, same problem.. replaced with an older nano rx.. works fine.. so maybe just a faulty one? Unless somebody has some extra insight for future events? Current faulty one has met the hammer
Press and hold til it blinks , let up button( blinks slow ) press again within 1 second hold blinks or something . , un power plug in again and bind mode is slow blink or double blinks Hard to remember elrs and crsf are similar and months go by . And the button is small and . Jb says press once it blinks red for bind . Mine never does that but don't throw it away . I used a phone charger and the red and black usb wires are 5v for testing 5volt 2.5 a. Stuff

And on the external module screen I could set the baudrate. Now its on 400k. Could I set this higher or is this the max. rate CRSF micro TX supports?
I'm sure this is a fantastic video...and I will watch it once I am able to finish processing the fact that January 2021 was TWO YEARS AGO. Thank you.
[Wait, it's not 2020?!?]
Power switch also should be mentioned, great thing to have on arming switch for example...
random but what do you hink would be the better option the mambo or the tango 2
Hello Mr. Bardwell and thank you very much for your videos and invaluable guidance! I have a Taranis X9D Plus bound to a TBS CROSSFIRE TX LITE Long Range Transmitter and my OLED screen, in the back of the TBS agent, is so dim that you can hardly see it's working! Does this sound familiar to you? Thank you very much in advance and I am sorry for any inconvenience!
I'm following through this guide, but my nano RX does not enter binding mode (blinking red) even after I push the button. What could be the problem?
What is the LED doing?
@@JoshuaBardwell Stays in red, no matter how much or little I press the button. Pretty strange. However, a couple of desperate restarts got it working and binding correctly now! No clue of what it could have been. After that, the rest of the guide helped me with the rest of the configuration! Thank you very much!
Thanks @JoshuaBardwell. My crossfire telemetry is giving me big headaches. Rxbt is continously jumping from the actual battery voltage to 100% voltage, messing up the battery alerts on my radio which require 4s or more below 3.6V per cell to activate. Similarly I have continous drops of the signal and RSSI and all connected values go to minimum for a fraction of a second. I did weeks of troubleshooting, including buying a new radio (good excuse, lol), testing 2 different drones with the same TBS Nano RX module (same result), changing frequency, power, RF profile etc... Is there anything else I can try? PS Note that my drones were purchased 3y ago with Betaflight 4.1 and I now updated to 4.4 with some trouble in setting them up again...
Did you uodate crossfire firmware on your module?
Yes, on both receiver and transmitter. It’s very strange, really. I did lots of research online but could not find anyone with the same issues. It looks like a continuous interference causing this, but I would understand that being an explanation for the signal drop, but battery at 100% really doesn’t make any sense
Hi Joshua, I have Tango 2 Pro V3, a lot of articles online talking about TBS Crossfire Nano RX tracer that you mount in the back of the controller, can you share some thoughts on it. Thanks
good evening and happy new year my friend I need your help. I have a graupner mc-20 transmitter and I want to make it long range. has not set for an external module. Is there a way to change the transmitter? thank you very much and keep up the very good work you guys on youtube.....
Is there a way to update my crossfire TX without having to rebind and update all my receivers again?
if they are already bound , just update the TX and the RX will get the updates over the air . once you power up the quad
After updating the TX, the receiver should still be bound. If you power up the TX and put it into bind mode, then power up the RX, it should immediately say, "Update RX?" without needing to press the bind button.
@@antoineozaneaux6881 Depending on the version jump you have to rebind all recievers. Another comment mentioned the workaround to reset reciever first, so it will go into binding mode next time you power it up. Makes it a bit easier.
Is it possible to change my region after I select it? If i'm traveling to Europe I want to change it from FCC to CE
Yes I show how to do it here. th-cam.com/video/kLiVzoNSDh4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=x4O0OM4QIRIsthee
Is it possible to move Crossfire Tx V2 module between two radio transmitters? I have one TX module and want to move it back and forth between my Radiomaster TX16s and Jumper Pro and be able to fly the same quad without setting up all switches (arming ...) each time. Appreciate any help
Yes you can do it but you need to manually set up the switches on both controllers to be the same.
@@JoshuaBardwell Thank you very much for your kind assistance 👍🙏
what baudrate should i chose on my edgetx remote? 400k? 921k?
400k is sufficient for Crossfire.
Whats the diffrence between the tbs nano and micro? I want long range and live in the EU
1st like ! What up Bardwell?!?! Thx 4 the great content!
I hate software that forces you to register an account with the company for no good reason. The Agent X application allows you to skip account registration/login. At least for now anyway. But the Agent Web does not. You have to create an account to use it.
Is it still possible to get the full tx
Hi Josh, can I connect this to a spectrum or radiolink transmitter? Thanks
No I don't think so.
Before you recommended to use their latest firmware, including beta versions. Is that still the case ?
Yes.
Im on Betaflight 10.9 configurator runninf BF 4.4 on my Diatone mamba f722 APP, and for the life of me i cannot get stick inputs to show up in betaflight. I checked the ports amd tried rewiring the rx and tx wires to different port numbers with no luck. also running agent lite version .92 with tango II xf version 6.19 and the RX firmware is also v6.19. Has anyone else been having this issue at all?
This video was great help for me to get to know this radiomaster boxer i just got. With all of this crossfire hassel i might have to swith to 2.4 and move to ELRS but I do like TBS and crossfire but this hassel just may not be worth it
any help woullld be aweeeesooomeee
Josh, Mate help please, Boxer......Did the agent lite update, But where you skipped those files to update, I replaced them to update to 0.96,
Now Tbs Agent lite will not load form the first TOOLS menu.....Error message reads......(Syntax error ?:0 attempt to call a nil value)......It will load from...Scripts/TOOLS...This is the only way to open Tbs Agent Lite.......and I'll be buggered if I know!
Cheers mate, Jas.
Are you sure you've got the latest version of the script?
Well that was an adventure, I deleted the 2 TBSAGENTLITE lua scripts in tools...Not the TBS agent lite folder...
Then went to my taranis saved sd files on pc and used those 2 lua scripts from it's sd card.....which is on EdgeTx 2.8.3.....Copied the 2 lua scripts over to the Boxer sd and Bingo! All there and working as it should....still weird!
Cheers mate.
Anyone know if TBS will be releasing the PRO version of Crossfire Diversity Nano RX with 500mw output power?
When I go into radio setting in Agent Lite on my FrSky DX9 Plus, I dont see the option to set the region. My menu is: Max Power, Dyn Power, Power Switch, Encryption. As of late, I have switched my FrSky from ACCST to EdgeTx and have a Crossfire Tracer Tx module with a Tracer Rx on my Flywoo LR. I have flashed the board in beta flight to the latest firmware, added the lua script to the Tx and setup a model. I am able to bind to the model but cannot get any channels to work. My stick inputs dont show up in beta flight or the Edge Tx companion in simulation or calibration. I can plug the FrSky into my computer and play Uncrashed, but nothing seems to work outside of that. I have tried both UARTS in bata flight, reflashed the both the FC board and the controller with no luck. Anyone have any ideas? Im about to give up on this.
Tracer operates in 2.4 GHz and does not have region setting. Region is just for 2.4 GHz.
I wished this helped, sadly, it does not.
@@JoshuaBardwell I bought the quad a few years ago and believe it originally had a frsky receiver. I put a TBS Tracer Rx on it… if I flash the quad with the suggested firmware, could that be why it’s not receiving a signal?
You would need to reconfigure the FC to work with the Tracer RX. It won't be a drop-in replacement.
I don’t have time for ELRS
IN YOUR UPINYUN WUT IS THE BEST PV DRONE FOR BAD FLYER
I’m going back to crossfire. Elrs not binding after flashing go same passphrase is maddening. 3x battery is not solving the issue
Need to confirm they are on matching firmware versions 3.x to 3.x. If one is on 2.x it can't bind.
What module and receiver is it?
I tried the 150hz preset with dynamic mode off. My Tango 2 was yelling at me way too much about LQ so I went back to Dynamic mode. I don't mind it but maybe I would be a better pilot without it....who knows.
Rather than use dynamic, I would recommend locking at 50 hz.
@@JoshuaBardwell I’ll give it a shot. Thanks JB!
👍🏻👍🏻
In the last video you recommended staying on 8 Channels. Do you meanwhile know the "disadvantages" when switching to 12 Channels as you know recommend to use all 12 Channels now?
Yes finally the answer has been revealed, and it turns out it was what I guessed all along. When you switch from 8ch to 12ch mode, the aux channels are polled at 1/2 the rate. So 25 Hz or 125 Hz. Instead of sending ch. 4-8 in every packet, it alternates between 4-8 and 9-12. So if you were using the channels to drive servos, the update rate might be unacceptable, but if you are simply using them as aux channels with a multirotor, it's fine.
@Joshua Bardwell I'd like to ask you about 8vs12 channels before (2 years ago) you claimed that 8 channels is the better than 12 channels (because TBS said so without any reasonable explanation) and now 12 is OK? What has changed?
TBS revealed that the only difference is that in 12ch mode the aux channels are updated half as often.
I still remember the days when you and TBS wanted to "kill" each other.
It's nice to see that you are friends know.
Today I learned from you how to make friends with former enemies and I got a looong list... 🤣
What if your module does not have a USB port?
Umm. What module do you have?
Had an issue where i bound the crsf nano rx and after replugging it started to radiply blink green.. after some digging i tried to reflash current software (6.19) no luck same scenario, downgraded to 6.17 same scenario.. back to 6.19 and tried the emergency update, same problem.. replaced with an older nano rx.. works fine.. so maybe just a faulty one? Unless somebody has some extra insight for future events? Current faulty one has met the hammer
Try to write to the official technical support, attach to the message all possible information with photos.
Press and hold til it blinks , let up button( blinks slow ) press again within 1 second hold blinks or something . , un power plug in again and bind mode is slow blink or double blinks
Hard to remember elrs and crsf are similar and months go by . And the button is small and .
Jb says press once it blinks red for bind . Mine never does that but don't throw it away . I used a phone charger and the red and black usb wires are 5v for testing 5volt 2.5 a. Stuff
Thats why you are not to press " region" .
Or all the recievers need to rebind .
Mombo, tsk tsk tsk :)
