FrSky OpenTX and S8R Self-Check Activation Fix No Servo Outputs

Sometimes the S8R (or other stabilized system) may not output the stick commands to the servos.
In this case it is usually that the self-check procedure must be run.
This is the basic demonstration for activating self-check on OpenTX with the S8R receiver.
For other stabilized systems like ARCHER SR8-Pro / ARCHER Plus SR8 or RB-xS systems, please refer to the manual for the self-check activation which is performed via the Device Config -- SxR or other required Lua Script.

Hi I was wondering. Why you pick opentx vs edgetx on this radio?

[@frskyrc-ben]

Hello, there is no reason, that is just what I had and someone asked me to demonstrate it on OpenTX. It should work the same with EdgeTX as well

[@rcrotorfreak]

@@frskyrc-ben I know that. But for me it's huge reason love being updated. It's like being updated to only window xp while you can upgrade to linux or Window 11 and revive the antique to actually perform better then ethos. I'm just wondering. Edgetx fixed lot of issue and fast development compare to edgetx since edgetx is over tousand of development instead dozen of ethos. Hope Ethos can be open source. :)

By the way I have x10s express on latest Edgetx. :)

[@frskyrc-ben]

@@rcrotorfreak yes but I read some comments that there are lots of fixes with EdgeTX but also some bugs which are patched in OpenTX , but because EdgeTX is forked from before these patches, those bugs exist in EdgeTX still even though have been patched in OpenTX. Sorry but ETHOS will be not be open source. There is some proof of concept work for ersky9x on x20 but it is not open sourced either

[@rcrotorfreak]

@@frskyrc-ben Doesn't work like that. Opensource mean that source code is expose. So Edgetx started where it left off from last version with last patches and start foundation from there. Not missing no preivous patches in fact improve it. But then again. Edgetx probably wont even use those patches. Edgetx is continue of the road of Opentx in another name. Opentx doesn't support touch screen back then and neither many radio. Now Edgetx became like a virus that now it support dozen of radio. Edgetx became a better engineer in firmware then opentx. Now Ethos is alright I hope Ethos can be compatible with Edgetx luascrip.
