It is crazy how much bs is involved just to be able to use the Taranis , and this is the way they designed this radio. Thank you for video it was informative . I just wish my radiomaster 16S would hurry so I can sell my frsky gear .
I couldn't figure out why I didn't have metering on channel 12, in the receiver tab for Betaflight. Your video was the only one that pointed out it was due to not having the firmware updated on the XM+. Other channels talked all around RSSI in Betaflight such as select and save channel 12. They showed after selecting a saving you now had percentage reading in the Setup tab etc. etc. But Other video's were assuming channel 12 was dancing around with all this information. Finally your video pointed out if you don't have metering on Channel 12 here's what you do...update the firmware on the XM+. It took me two hours of searching TH-cam till I found you video. Thanks for thinking further back into the whole process. I know we can fly without the RSSI value on the OSD screen but not having it is like not having battery voltage. Without either of those two pieces of information you fly with less confidence. Good video, thanks for putting this our there.
Not all QX7 radios will work on bottom port. The early productions it was NOT wired in. In that case you must use the module bay pins and there ground and volt are reversed!!!
You can't tell if your radio is FCC or LBT by showing or not showing D8 mode, there is sticker on the back which says what what version is it. If not, try flashing both of them and try pairing it to the radio.
which file do i need? there are several listed within the download folder. the only protocol i have on my radio is ACCESS D16. am i looking for XM+_ACCST_2.1.2_fcc_rssi16.frk?
Update! I tried flashing this firmware but as of recently frsky changed their firmware, make sure you go under older downloads, I downloaded the most recent one and it doesn't work, I guess it's for the newer access transmitters, and when you get into the transmitter, to flash it's now called s.port. it will save you a lot of headache😅
Dude I’ve tried both files the new one from October and the old one from like March both in 2020 and my xm+ and nothing when I connect my xm receiver straight to the taranis with the connector on the bottom of the radio the one on the left
I flashed my xm+ but oddly I have tried everything I can rssi_scale and rssi_offset but my rssi shows backwards. Using betaflight 4.0 with matek f405 ctr
Maybe this is a stupid question, I'm not very computer savvy. but do I need an empty sd card? Or can I use the card with the opentx sounds files for my taranis on it? Thank you
in other tutorials, the link to the taranis, made by reversing the negative with the positive ... which operation is right and which is wrong? Thanks ;-)
@@alessandromedos891: I think if you use the module port on the back of the QX7 you may need to reverse the + and - wires but using the cable connector on the bottom of the QX7 you don't. Try to confirm it before trying though.
any idea why the value is jumping around so much? i just did this process over the weekend and im getting a max value of about 80 even when im right beside the RX and it only seems to drop 10-15% during flight, even when im pretty far away.
I think yes, but the wire order might be different! I updated a receiver firmware wirelessly, Over The Air (OTA) ► th-cam.com/video/0yK36Ovczeo/w-d-xo.html
furulevi hi! At 4:10 it says “flash ext. device” but on my taranis it only comes up with “flash ext. Module”. There is also another option and I have tried all of them, however non of them work, and one of the options glitch the radio and switch it off! Btw thnx for responding!
@@Ibabthekebab Did you ever figure out a fix? Im going through the process right now and have the same problem, "device" is not showing for me, only "module"
I couldn't figure out how to complete this process to save my life....UNTIL... I saw your video. It finally made sense. You helped me get everything done and I appreciate you so much. People like you make FPV possible for so many. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much! Marcus in Florida, USA! Instagram: whoopsquadjax
UPDATE: I am using f/w 2.2.2 in radio. The bottom connection is now called the S. Port (not Ext Module) in the menus. It worked! Thanks
yeah, worked like that for me too.
thank you good man!
Just figured this out..... Thank you
OMG i have spent the last 2 hours trying to figure this out! thx!
I too struggled to figure it out when I should've just checked the comments.

Will that be easier to use?

just used the info on this video, many thanks.
I know this is a old video but it worked perfect for flashing my receiver. Thanks for making this video.Cheers
Thnks for the video and the questions answered!!
Thank you very much! Good video
Thank you sir! still works, only thing is now its called s port
Thanks a lot for the video man! liked it!

ACCESS and ACCST are not compatible.

Please help
!
@@ruvyfpv4398 what taranis do you have? Is it the accst or access
Do I need to update on my radio also? Actually, I did update in my XM+ with the new version 2.1.2 LBT and the bind is not happing more!
You have to use the same (LBT) version on both the transmitter and receiver. Updating can be a good idea but it can also complicate stuff...
Can you tell me the cable to connect xm plus to taranis?
I flashed my xm+ but oddly I have tried everything I can rssi_scale and rssi_offset but my rssi shows backwards. Using betaflight 4.0 with matek f405 ctr
My RSSI value is constant again, just like in this video...
@@furulevi ?. Stuck on 49 with all bars full?
so after flashing it still stayed bound and did not require any additional setup? I have this same stack and problem with no RSSI on my Qx7
yes it was bound even after flashing, as seen in the video, I know it is strange...
Only if you flashed the same region related firmware (FCC or EU).
Right now i yried to bind the xm+ with qx7 and i got red/green light and no binding at all no matter what i try?
Also do we have to do this sp all frsky xm+ woll bind?
my xm+ is working and binded but suddenly light solid red, then ı wired 2s lipo and now red blink but does not go out completely
nice video thankyou
Why is the rssi not moving anymore after the update?
Maybe this is a stupid question, I'm not very computer savvy. but do I need an empty sd card? Or can I use the card with the opentx sounds files for my taranis on it? Thank you
Yes, you can use the same SD card, just put the firmware file in a separate folder so it's easier to find.
in other tutorials, the link to the taranis, made by reversing the negative with the positive ... which operation is right and which is wrong? Thanks ;-)
for me it worked as it is visible in this video...
@@furulevi in fact I saw and I wondered why in some tutorials they argue that they have to be reversed ;-)

I don't know what could be the problem, but now my XM+ receiver's green LED turns to red during flight... crash! I should re-flash it again.
Exactly the same problem here. Can I kindly ask if you have find any solution?
@@furulevi Did you get it to work properly?
The propeler cut 0,5 cm
one of the antennas. Its a Seriously problem? Tkx
Not too serious, but try to replace it if possible. The drone can fly a few meters even without any antenna on the drone.
Do you have to bind the XM+ again with the QX7 after you flash the firmware on the XM+?
My receiver worked right away after flashing without any re-binding at all... (strange)
@@furulevi same here. It was still binded after flashing
Do you know if I can do that with the x-lite transmitter?
I think yes, but the wire order might be different! I updated a receiver firmware wirelessly, Over The Air (OTA) ► th-cam.com/video/0yK36Ovczeo/w-d-xo.html
@@furulevi do you know the range of that receiver?
I did that and now my receiver dont want to turn on with the quad???
No LED is powered on the receiver? Contact FrSky ► www.frsky-rc.com/pages/contact/
Hi! When I put my xm plus into my taranis, it doesn’t come up with “device” when you click on the folder? Please please please can someone help?
Where is that "device" shown in this video (which minute:second)?
furulevi hi! At 4:10 it says “flash ext. device” but on my taranis it only comes up with “flash ext. Module”. There is also another option and I have tried all of them, however non of them work, and one of the options glitch the radio and switch it off! Btw thnx for responding!
@@Ibabthekebab Did you ever figure out a fix? Im going through the process right now and have the same problem, "device" is not showing for me, only "module"
Is this still working with bf 4.1 ? Thanks
I have 4.0.6 on my drone... I have to update it.
update on 2021 pls.
