    Hi: Your video's are soooo valuable to the new person trying to get a hold of these technologies. Received a new Taranis X9D+ a couple of days ago and decided to update it to the current firmware. Not sure what its original firmware was, but it's Bootloader version was 2.1.6. which was the source of about 9 hrs of headache yesterday. As I discovered, flashing the new firmware through Companion does not update the Bootloader which not only made Companion not want to talk to the radio but made the radio hang up and caused the SD card to get corrupted. I discovered that the best method of Flashing the Bootloader is by loading the firmware in the SD Card and then Flashing to Bootloader via the Radio. However, after much frustration I found out that the file cannot exceed 32 characters and that the SD card must be in FAT32 which my Mac refused to format correctly. After finally resolving those two issues I was able to flash the Bootloader to 2.2 and everything works fine. I am making the note here and in a couple of other places to save someone the same headache. Here is a valuable link. github.com/opentx/opentx/wiki/Taranis-Bootloaders
    Keep up the great work.

  • @Clickbaiters
    @Clickbaiters 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just out of curiosity, does the QX7 have a built in "STM-DFU Mode" like the X9D Plus? This makes the X9D practically unbrickable. If so, does one use the same Zadig drivers as with the X9D?

  • @DiogoFilipeR
    @DiogoFilipeR 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Whats the difference between the firmware from frsky website and the opentx(or companion)? They are different versions now, like 2.3V0021 vs 2.3V0020. Also the opentx brings the radio firmware right? but I can later install a different one XJT to have the D8 if I needed it without the computer. By this I mean, install the international version of opentx and change the radio firmware between fcc and lbt. Or did I get it wrong?

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Firmware is what runs the radio module and can be FCC or LBT. Opentx runs the rest of the radio..

    I just bought a Taranis Plus radio (used). It had 2.1.6. The previous owner flew multi-rotors. I flashed it with 2.2. and tried deleting the info on the SD card but for some reason my computer would not let me. I tried going back to version on my other radio 2.1.9. but it would not let me. I get a SD card error now when I turn on the radio. When looking at my SD card on my desktop there were two files my system would not let me delete. I still get the sounds set-up on the switches for the multi-rotor. Tried merging the bit maps but now none show up. You think getting a new SD card will get rid of the SD card error and allow my bit-maps to show up again?

I 'm only seeing the transmitters with Open TX. Do I need CleanFlight installed on the transmitter? Or does it work with the Cleanflight flight controllers with some setup configuration on the transmitter? Thank you. You guys rock with awesome video tutorials!

    • @OilNBolts1
      @OilNBolts1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      OK, my bad. In 2.2.1 you have to hold the power switch down for power up, just as you have always had to hold the switch down for power down. File name length had nothing to do with it.

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not on the Q X7. The radio cannot display greys (only black and white) so the support for images isn't great. Sadly that means that the developers, rather than use text only for the model setup wizard, just left it out of the Q X7 build.

      was thinking the easyist way to do it all would be with the Taranis plus, i'm guessing you could use a 2nd resever for the camera controls and set it up so you could have an option off using 2nd transmitter for operating the camera if needed, would be handy if i could although most off the time i'd just be flying it myself. thank you!!

    hello and great channel and video. love all your uploads. very informative. question, when updating open tx, im currently using XM+ which has no tele meaning i will not be able to do lua scripts. i will be upgrading to the frsky r9m long range module with r9 sim rx as an alternative to the crossfire, will this affect the update of the opentx? lastly, if im still using the XM+ rx, after updating opentx, will i have to rebind my XM+ to the radio once more? i ask only because my bind button has come off the rx and im unable to rebind if i need to. thank you again. i appreciate your kind help and advise

    i wonder if anyone can help me, i flashed my Taranis X9D Plus to the new 2.2.3, now when i turn the radio on i don't get the "welcome to taranis" sound, the wav file is in my system folder in the sound folder, anyone got any ideas ??
    thanks

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The way I figured this out was to download the SD card contents for OpenTX 2.2 and then look at the track listing to see what the 'welcome' sound was called. Check out the one called 'hello.wav' in the system folder. That's the one played on start-up.. Best of luck!

    Dear Sir, you and your videos are just fantastic, i have a question please, , I am new to this field and recently got a QX7S and a Rooster to start , but it seems so much more difficult, i'm stuck at the first step, the radio arrived just few days a go but the firmware is 2.2.0 date 05-09-2017 ,
    do I need to upgrade a version to 2.2.2 ?!
    the receiver has been used in my Rooster is R-XSR and vtx is TBS Unify Pro HV if it helps ?
    i really would appreciate any kind of help info or advise , thanks a lot

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The firmware installed on your radio is a great starting point. There is no need to upgrade at this point. Please watch my OpenTX series, and also the recent Quadcopter building for beginners series that goes through every single step. The rooster is a beautiful model, one of my favourite - you’ll have a whale of a time with it. Best of luck!

      @@Painless360 hello... the samething with me... I just recieved my QX7 a few days ago and it has 2.2.2 (June 24 2018) on it (and just so you know its FCC, non EU, cause I live in the USA)...... so last night I downloaded the SD card file pack from Frsky and put that on the sd card and also downloaded the amber sound pack from open tx University and replaced that sound folder (that works perfect)..... my question is...after I put the sd card in the transmitter all amber sounds work and I have lua scripts as well...... but my Firmware Folder is empty (it just has readme.txt that says firmware goes in here).
      I was told by a few people that their needs to be files inside the firmware folder??? Is this true??
      I cant seem to get a straight answer from anyone about this... I cant even find a TH-cam video about this.
      (I do have the lua scripts on this as well too)
      I really don't want to but new firmware or do anything extra that I dont have to... I'm confused already lol.
      I'm waiting on my Leader 3se (bnf frsky reciever)(I think its nano reciever) to come here by next week and I'm also waiting on the mobula 7 to get here.
      I just wanna have my transmitter all prepared.
      Any help what's so ever would be much appreciated.

      I've got a video on pretty much everything on the radio so you can find the content you need using a TH-cam or Google search i.e. 'frsky firmware painless360' to find the video that explains that. If you're new to the radio and OpenTX I'd suggest watching those videos so you can get to grips with it faster. Short answer to your specific question - it's for the receivers and internal modules, not OpenTX.. Best of luck!

      Painless360 - it was a setting option "mass storage" was selected and that was preventing the computer from recognizing the Taranis as a USB controller. This also allowed access to the SD card without going into boot loader mode.

      Sorry. I solved. I got the "SD Warning Expected version 2.2V0010".. And it was a "junk files" issue, it is important to delete everything from the SD, and then copy the structure in the SD card. If you use Macbook, it creates a hidden files, so these files has to be deleted, if not, it may appear the SD Warning when you turn on.

    I notice that you did not tick the ''eu'' box I did the same and now I get the SD CARD WARNING Expected version 2.2v0010 on Tx start-up - you do go through a proceedure to eliminate the warning but I find it difficult, what with moving files around and such, not sure if it can be made simpler
    Lee - hope you don't mind me saying so - I found that when you discuss the movement and setup of files,and the pointer is wandering around as well - I find it hard to follow you 5:45 to 8:0 say - I know it's a difficult balance to get a point over, especially to the lowest common denominator folk such as me.
