Fsky Taranis X9D Plus

Many thanks Chris. I think I see the bit I am overlooking. Yes i have used Companion 2 and also found you can drag an Input line down and then edit it to suit. I will have another play tomorrow. Companion 2.1.7 would not talk to Plus. Downloaded 2.1.9 and now it does. Now I can exit the bootloader properly.

I also think Stuart that your version is an early one because the Plus had some different coding.

Oi! What's all this formal greeting Mr Chris Wild......:lol:

Should have said I programme on the Tx. As far as I know, the solution is the same with later firmware.

Hi Phil,

Glad you managed to get Bootloader, OpenTX and Companion all to the right versions to talk happily with each other, I remember going round in circles the first time I did it and cannot remember the exact route I took to get it done. I'm on 2.19 so that makes like easier. I'm by no way an expert, but if I can help I will,

Phil, have you seen the new RX for gliders... built in Vario for the same price as an X8R

No I had not seen that. I will have to get one of them or maybe two (got two gliders) Hi precision Vario was £19 on HK. X8R receivers £30.

Hi Phil, I tried to understand the Taranis video on YouTube unfortunately the video id 53 minutes and my attention span won't cope with that timescale. However, there was a load of stuff in RCM+E a short time ago. I don't know if this will help.

I think I might end up using my old 35 Meg JR stuff.

Brian, I have watched quite few of the videos, some are useful but some ramble on so much I lost attention too. I would much rather read the info (at my pace) along with decent images at each stage.

Written up the programming in Companion and wrote to TX. Used the Fox fuselage to check results (elevator & rudder). Compared to JR the rates % need to be lot lower than I expected. Although I have set elev and rudd to the 3 position switches It appears that I am only getting high and med, Ignores low rate.
Got timer running off throttle when above idle

Next job is "do I have to set both ailerons up independently or use a mix".

The equivalent Spektrum servo travel is -80% to 80%

I use the output tab to set servo end points.

I notice you've set up the switch to be (!SA) are you sure you don't want to pick the one with out the '!' i.e. (SA) I cannot remember what the '!' signifies but I'm pretty sure you don't want it

Why are there two inputs for flaps?

Flaps? Two servos.
I'll check the switches again for no ! But the servos worked.
Yes the throws are massive at 100%. i'll set end points at 80% as Spektrum.

So much easier to program on the PC.
