I was getting nowhere until I discovered Companion was version 2.8 and TX16s was running 2.9. Once I updated Companion then it communicated and now I can benefit from this excellent tutorial. Thanks.
@@RCVideoReviews What should I do if when I plug the USB into the radio and it doesn't give me the option to pick "USB STORAGE", it just shows "USB". Companion doesn't detect my radio.
Excellent video on Companion. I see a lot of people asking for this information. This video will answer the questions they want to know, and I think will help some see the benefits of it. Great job John.
Just wanted to say thanks for all your edge tx tutorials, it's really helped me no end, especially in the mixer and logic side of things. Also your ELRS vids as I also run ELRS in my planes. Like many others, I really appreciate your teaching skills! On the google earth executable setup part you mentioned, it's for viewing your GPS telemetry logs from the radio, if you run a GPS of course. Only problem is I couldn't get it to work in 2.7, and also in 2.8. It opens google earth just fine in the log viewer, but under temporary places where it is supposed to show up I just can't get google earth to show it. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but looks like it would be a cool visual for showing your GPS flight data in 3D in google earth. Possibly to also help find a lost model if you fly cross country!
I've used gps log data outside of companion to track down long range planes before. Not sure I'd want to use companion for that. Anyway, glad you find my videos helpful.
Well, thanks again. Just yesterday in another of your video (I think, the upgrading to 2.8.0, video) I was commenting and asking if you could explain what was the TX companion was for. Of course you answered my question 6 months before I asked. I need to spend way more time on your channel! Cheers, a
Crushing it on the Edgetx content. Your my go-to channel. Hope to have a boxer sometimes in January. Do you have video on exporting models and settings from the tx16s and importing to the smaller black and white screen radios? Particularly where the models are using external modules on one and internal on the second.edit: just got to that part in the video where you mentioned requesting this. It would be appreciated.
Thanks, my friend! I have been procrastinating using companion. Anyway, I set up my radio profile but accidentally selected the wrong radio. I tried several ways, but I can't seem to fix the error.
Thank you for all the hard work you are putting into your excellent videos to help so many of us. Quick question about the 'Update Settings' tab: Under 'options' behind each line on that window there is 'download', 'decompress' and 'install'. The first two are self-explanatory, but the install - does that mean it will install all of that on my radio if I have it plugged in? Is that the best way to install updates or is it better to use buddy or even the manual way you describe in another video? Thanks for your help. Keep up the great work. Oli
Many thanks for all great presentations and instruction! You seem to be on expert level and I Have a problem with my OLED display experiment. My LCD cable was cut off by my mistake. I have made cable for my 2.4inch OLED display and I found software in the EdgeTx group. Because my cable to LCD broke I can not program my Pocket radio to boot up with OLED nightly program. I have ordered LCD display with cable but if the OLED does not work I am afraid that I can not program back to boot up with the LCD nightly. Could you help with how to control boot up file from PC?
Thank you, great as always. I don’t know what is the recommended way to set SD Card path in campanion. To the G: drive which contains the actual radio SD card or to a local copy on the computer ?
Either way will work. Just be aware, if you point to the radio, you have to have the radio connected and the card mounted in order for Companion to see the contents. If you store the files on your PC, the radio does not have to be connected, but now you need to synchronize things if you make changes to content outside of model/radio settings.
Local copy on the computer, and using the "Synchronise SD" feature of Companion is probably the best/recommended option - it doesn't require the radio to be connected to simulate and test stuff, and means you always have a backup copy of the radio SD card content.
How do I load the files on my PC. Is there a way to load the radio models into Companion without connecting the radio to the PC. @4:22 you mention that you can use Companion with connecting the radio via USB. @@RCVideoReviews
Would like to see a video on bringing in a model file, like Jonas's OMPHobby M2. if the model file was for OpenTX and if you can bring in OpenTX model files into EdgeTX.
Once again, another excellent video! Thank you for sharing! I do have a question though, have you noticed that models get duplicated when using Companion 2.8? I've used companion 2.7 before, and I've used 2.8 just to sync my SD card contents (as a sort of backup), but I played a bit more while following along your video, and later noticed that my models got duplicated somehow. Not sure what I did wrong 🤷♂
Did you copy your sd card contents from the radio to the pc and tell Companion where your sd card structure is? If you do that, Companion will show your model images.
Hey John, When I select Read Models I get the following message "Cannot Load MODELS/model8.yml: yaml-cpp: error at line 302, column 12: end of map not found" Any ideas what went wrong?
Open that file with a text editor and figure out what model it is. The name should be at the top of the file. Once you know, then open that model on the radio and edit the configuration. Make any change you want and let the radio re-write the model file on the radio. That should solve it.
Whenever I try to read the models and settings from the radio I get "Cannot load MODELS/model8.yml: yaml-cpp: error at line 302, column 12: end of map not found"
Figure out what model is model8.yml (open the file from the sd card with a text editor and look for the model name). Then open that model on the radio itself, make any edit at all. Just change something. That should solve it.
OK, from 11:35 into video - what is the best way to copy models from and ETX file without getting and "exact copy of that radio" ? I asked on Discord but haven't gotten an answer yet. I think I found an answer "exporting an ETX as a MODEL" but am still wowrking with that method.
Companion is probably the best option for that as it will handle adjusting your configurations if necessary. Open models/settings from Zorro, save the ETX file. Switch profiles, connect Boxer, open your ETX file and write to Boxer.
@@RCVideoReviews did but after trying to update the firmware it doesn't seem to work it's says complete instantly there is no loading bar. After I disconnect and turn radio back on it's still on the same firmware.
hi, as a opentx companion user I don´t understand why the downloaded firmware in companion edgetx does not come with the options compiled. for example sqtr5font, heli , etc. no matter what I tried it didn´t work as in opentx companion.
Edge doesn't provide live compile time options. That is one nice thing about OpenTX over EdgeTX. On the other hand, it's ridiculously simple to compile your own: ruclips.net/video/F6Jb2Zyw7f0/видео.html
When You selected that file to update the radio. Where did it come from? I'm following you to a T. I'm stuck because I don't have a file it likes or something.
It would be helpful to give a time index so I know what exactly you're referring to. Also, consider joining my discord, it's a MUCH better platform for Q&A than YT comments.
could you please do a video on how to get the heli mixing back on the tx16 after edge 2.8? I have one flybar heli that I cannot use now. I used companion to make a new model and chose the swashplate type under the edit menu for that model but it still isnt mixed in the radio. I don't know why they took that template out of the radio...what did it hurt being in there? I will not by the "it took up space" explanation. I checked everywhere online and in the edge tx manual and all it says is that helicopter ccpm mixing is available with a custom compiled firmware whatever that means
The EdgeTX team will give you one on their discord. Or you can watch my video on compiling your own and you'll be able to take care of it yourself anytime you want: ruclips.net/video/F6Jb2Zyw7f0/видео.html
Hi. I ran the Mulit Channel Namer LUA as per one of your recent videos however, it has mis labelled all of my channel assignments. I run TAER whereas it has names everything as AETR. Is there any way to 'un run' or uninstall that LUA? Thanks.
All multi-channel namer does is put labels on our outputs. So change your output labels. It does this in accordance with the MPM protocol you've used. i.e. D16 will use AETR.
Hiya, tried to delete/stop sensor lost warning whilst still keeping telemetry lost warning. Attempted on remote, only clicking warnings off worked on both, will companion let you keep the telemetry, and loose the "sensor lost"?
I have updated my radio with V2.8.0 Flying Dutchman but initially I had noheli checked. Now I want to fly helcopters how do I get the heli options back? I have reload the firmware but still no heli. I can't find how to have heli included can you advise please.
I have downloaded the EdgeTX companion from the official EdgeTX website. The software crashes when I try to upload my SD card folder in the settings menu. Otherwise, it works fine for me. Also, as shown in the video, I never get to see the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons. Would anyone be able to help me sort this issue out?
3:25 i don't understand why you copy your SD card 1:1 but at 10:50 you end up reading in the content from the actual SD card instead of using the copied folder. how can i use the copied folder instead? there does not seem to be an equivalent button of "read models and settings from radio" for the copied folder method?
so the correct way seems to be to read in from the radio directly once and save that new .etx document as your main .etx project you can open up later even without the radio being connected via USB so you are able to work on your radio that way and later sync it back to the radio once you reconnect it. did i get that right?
Hi great video. One of the thing I don't under stand because this was able to be done for Taranis. Is there a way to adjust the length of time the custom splash screen displays?
As far as I know, there is no option to specify the amount of time the splash screen is displayed, but you can delete the splash screen and it will just boot into the radio. You could make a feature request if this is something you feel strongly about.
@@RCVideoReviews It really make no sense not to have that feature. There is feature for Taranis with opentx but this was like 5 years ago.

Black and white screen radios all have the facility to set splash screen time, as well as power-on and power-off animation delay.

@@rcrotorfreak is it a colour screen radio? If not, please re-read my comment ;) if it is, what radio is it? As this is not what I have experienced firsthand across several radio models... minimum startup is between 4 and 5 seconds (i.e. the radio is usable, given no startup warnings) With *all* b&w radios, they can be on and usable in less than a second, or the splash screen can be set to up to around 15 seconds IIRC
Thanks for the great video. Is there now an option to turn on Bluetooth in the Transmitter with EdgeTX Companion v2.8? Till today I always do a request for a custom firmware build made by pfeerick. (Request a firmware build - 2.8.0)
There is a bluetooth drop down in the hardware tab. Options are off, telemetry, and trainer. There's also a corresponding device name I suspect is for pairing. The Boxer radio also has a BT header.
I've been using a global variable and a switch to manipulate the global variable. Then build the logic on the GV before moving it to a sensor. It's the only way I know how to do it on the radio. In Companion, there is a telemetry sensor value page which can be used to 'set' the condition for the radio, but the last time I tried it, it didn't work on Companion for Edge. It did work on Companion for OpenTX.
My companion does not work with my RadioMaster Boxer radio. It has no target for it. I suppose this is because the radio is rather new. Any one knows when it will get fixed?
