⚠️ NOTE: flashing this new firmware WILL ERASE ALL YOUR MODEL PROFILES ⚠️
Want 4 extra channels on your FS-i6? Me too! In this video I'll walk you through how I upgraded the firmware on my Flysky FS-i6 drone RC transmitter to be able to use four more aux channels (instead of only two), and make use of all the switches and knobs on this radio.
FS-i6 amzn.to/2JTQ0aW
FS-i6X amzn.to/2Kp76wT
Data cable amzn.to/2W7LUxz
INSTRUCTIONS
You will need:
👉 Flysky FS-i6 radio
👉 FlySky data cable (should be included w/ tx)
👉 Computer running Microsoft Windows 10 (for this tutorial) with internet connection
👉 A little bit of patience
(NOTE: this is not an "official" firmware upgrade. This is basically just a DIY mod/hack that someone came up with. Thus, don't expect to get support from FlySky if something goes wrong during this process. Proceed at your own risk.)
👉 Determine if driver is needed
➤Connect data cable to USB port on computer
➤Go to computer Settings then Devices and see if "USB to UART Bridge (COM#)" (or something similar) is listed
➤If it is NOT listed, proceed to next step. If it IS LISTED, skip the next step (driver installation)
👉Download DRIVER for data cable (ONLY IF NEEDED).
➤(CP210x driver will also work (and you might need it anyway, if you are planning on connecting a quadcopter to betaflight (this depends on the type of flight controller you have)))
➤Download CP2102 "USB-to-Serial Bridge Driver" found it at this website page: www.pololu.com/docs/0J7/all#2
➤(copy/paste the following URL into your web browser and it will automatically download the file: www.pololu.com/file/0J14/polo... )
➤Follow installation instructions on Pololu
➤ "IMPORTANT: You must extract the zip archive into a temporary directory. DO NOT attempt to double-click or run any of the files until you have extracted them.
➤ Open the temporary directory and run the appropriate executable. If you have a 64-bit operating system, you should run pololu-cp2102-setup-x64.exe. If you have a 32-bit operating system, you should run pololu-cp2102-setup-x86.exe.
➤ During the installation, Windows will ask you if you want to install the drivers. Click “Install” (Windows 10, 8, 7, and Vista) or “Continue Anyway” (Windows XP).
➤ The installer should complete successfully."
👉 Download new FS-i6 firmware
➤ Link to Github page github.com/benb0jangles/FlySk...
➤ Select most recent version (currently "10ch_MOD_i6_Programmer_V1_5")
➤ Click "10ch_MOD_i6_Programmer_V1_5.exe"
➤ Click "Download" or "View Raw" to download file
➤ (Copy/paste this URL into your web browser for automatic download: github.com/benb0jangles/FlySk... )
➤ Open downloaded file and "MOD i6 Programmer" window should pop up
👉 Connect radio to computer via data cable
➤ Press and hold "ok" to enter main menu, and select "System Setup"
➤ Use "down" key to scroll to down to "Firmware Update"
➤ Press "ok" and confirm "yes" to enter update mode
👉 In computer Settings, go to to Devices and locate the "USB to UART Bridge" device
➤ Note where is says "(COM#)" (example: COM6)
👉 In the Mod i6 Programmer window, select the COM port (Serial Port) to match the USB to UART Bridge device
➤ Click "Open Port" (your current firmware version should now be displayed in the little box)
👉 Click "Program"
👉 Radio will beep and restart after successful update
👉 Power off and disconnect radio
👉 Power back on and check function (go to System Setup then Firmware version (FlyPlus Beta 20/01/16 8:27 should be displayed)
👌Ta Da!

Great tutorial! I updated my Eachine I6 to the 10 channel firmware with no problems. Thanks very much :)
just wanted to say thank you Adam. i know its a very old video, but you are saving me from buying a $400 spectrum radio! now i have a 10 channel radio that i can use for my flaps, aux lighting, and gyro settings awesome sir thank you for the tutorial! updated my fs-i6 successfully to the newer version/ beta for 10 channels.
if i could add a tad of information to this group, if the flysky driver doesn't pop open right away, you may have to remove the usb cable, wait, then reinsert and re-open flysky driver. this worked for me after unsuccessful opening of program for update.
thanks again, adam. good job!
Would a normal USB cable with the dongle to connect the flysky piece work you think?
Or do you need the special data cable?
I like what you are doing with your channel. I almost want to get a flysky just to follow along even though I have a taranis😎
Thanks!
Thank you Adam, it helps a lot for me, now I am using my flysky i6 upgraded withput any hazzle on my flight thank you
Thats great! 👍
thanks bro!!!! Got data cable worked like a charm...now with All these channels i feel like a boss B) !!!
Nice! Thanks for the info!
thank you very much for my knowledge I will try to upgrade my flysky
Glad I could help!
One of the best firmware update tutorial I have seen. Because of this video, I may update my i6 even I don't have a need.
Glad you like it!
I get my cable and ready to do the upgrade. If I upgrade the firmware, will it erase all my profiles? Thx
@@kentlam9374 yes
@@RCwithAdam1 can I backup my default setting or profile for my falcon 250 pro as I don't know how to redo it
Excellent all up and running. Easy 👍
This was very informative 👏 I think you did a good job. 👍
Thank you Adam,just upgraded my TGY- i6👏👍
Sou brasileiro, precisava de um vídeo atual sobre esse assunto e sua dica de site para o drive FTDI foi a melhor, foi o único que funcionou corretamente para fazer a leitura da porta e terminar a atualização..
Muito obrigado!!
Worked! Nice and easy. Thank you
Worked like a charm, thanks!
Great to hear!
Hi Adam, i successfully upgraded the firmware to the 10ch firmware in your video. Thank you for all the infos 👍My question is, if I bind to the 10ch fs-ia10b receiver and enable PPM output, will it have at least 8ch on the PPM output?
Thank you - waited til winter to do the update - great instructions - performed as yours did - no issues - I subscribed to thank you for the great work - does the cable have any value after the upgrade?
You can use the cable with things like DRL and FPV drive games on a computer.
Hi Adam! I am not sure if you'd even read this comment, but if you do, I want to let you know that your videos are really helpful. The way you explain stuff is really cool. Your way of presenting is actually reassuring, and it was only after watching your video that I had the confidence to update my FS-i6. Really thanks for your help!
Hi, Kritik! I'm so glad my videos have helped you! I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know! Thanks! 👌🤗
Followed it to a t. At the end of the flash, no power on my transmitter. I saw in the comments below this occurred to someone else too. More studying as to why. Turns out it was the baud rate setting in the com port. Set it to 115500. Reflashed even though no power was showing and heard the beep and all is well. Thanks that took less time than expected ;-)
That was easy, thanks for the walk through.
You bet!
What are some recommended receivers so as to use all 10-channels ?
Thanks. Piece of cake!
Adam , thank you it worked .
👌😁
Well Done ! You got a New Subscribers ! Now all my switches will work on my FlySky FS-i6 . But how do I get that to my plane or Quad ? My FS-IA6B Receiver is only 6 channels . Do I Have to buy the new 10 Channel one , and then it will all work ? Cheers !
Thank you brother ....!! It works.....
Huzzah! 😁
Thanks dude Ur the best
I see your videos on the fs-i6 transmitter but have a question which has not been covered. My planes work great with this radio, of course using the flysky receiver only, but when I set up my hirobo shuttle zx, I get all controls to work correctly except one. I can mix my throttle with collective using the "throttle" stick but when I idle up, instead of the throttle idling up only, the collective also ramps up, which is not desired for obvious reasons. Can I omit the collective on the idle up switch yet keep collective control on the throttle stick? It does work with my Futaba 8 channel and my Hitech 7 when I had that radio.
Great video as always. Quick question. Does this mod give you timers too?
I think it is supposed to, but I have not found or figured out how to access it.
Hey great video! Just a few notes about my experience. Windows 10 auto-downloaded the drivers for me (yay!). So installing drivers were unnecessary. The program did NOT run the first time. this is because it needed to do COM registration more than likely. In order to do the registration it needs to run as administrator (right click the executable... run as administrator...). After the first time running as administrator it no longer needs it and can run normally (like i said only for the initial COM registration probably). The COM port would not let me open the first time. This is because the auto downloaded windows 10 driver set the baud rate to 9600, but the baud communication needs to be at 115k.
This full combination finally got me up and running.
Thanks for the useful extra info!
How did you change the baud rate?
PatchBOTS Go to the Device manager, find the usb com port you want to change, click on it to open the properties page, click on the port settings tab and there you are.
hey thanks very much for your help. But I did everything you said ( I was getting so excited when I changed the baud rate to 115 lol ) but it didn't work. My com port wont open. Any ideas??
@@michael1473 unfortunately that's all i did. Program is running (check), baud rate to 115K (check). Is the cable fully inserted into the flysky? It's a pretty stiff connection. Is the flysky in firmware update mode?
interesting.. I got the 6x and looking at what version is on there it's 2019 firmware but I only have aux switches 5 and 6 available to program.. I wonder why it doesn't have all 10 channels.. should I do this to it and see what happens..i don't really need them all but still
Hey! I updated it! Well I’m getting 10 channels shown in my TX’s display and I ordered a 10ch receiver for it… it’ll work, right? I’m a bit skeptical tbh… I needed 7 channels for my mustang (maybe 8 if I add flaps) and couldn’t do it all on my 6ch receiver… hopefully this works aha…
nice thank you
i did not get a update cable with my transmitter :(
and do you keep your settings after the update ?
Same but I'm not sure that we really don't get it or the shop owner just took it.
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial! Can you make a video showing how to use those extra channels using fsia6b receiver?
its really simple u need to select the type of switch and turn it off or on. after that u can add servos or anytype of things, basically there are 10 channels in that 4 channels are for joysticks, another 3 for basic on/off switch one for 3 control switch and last two are for adjustable type switches. what this adjustable type switches do is adjust to the specific level of their position like example servos. for 360 degree servos 3 way switch can be used to rotate in clockwise and anticlockwise direction.
i hope u understood what i meant
hi. once the update to 10ch is done, can i still use my 6channel receiver (like the iA6)? or do i need the 10ch receive (iA10)?
do you know how to upgrade the firmware which will fix the bugs in the software? but also keep the 10 channel capability? or is it either / or .... in other words, get the 10 channel capability but live with the bugs that cause latency in the radio transmission signals
does it have to be the data cable?
mine didnt come with one i only have the flight sim cable and it doesnt seem to be working for me, it shows up as ppm not silicon labs whatever
When i look at device manager under bluetooth and other devices (my tx is listed here) it says KMODEL simulator phoenix rc controler, do i need a diffrent cable?
ja, looks like you got the simulator/gaming cabel and not the programming cable.....
I use a Mac. So far I haven't found much that won't work on a Mac. I'm going to be testing this today. I'll update my notes to include any steps that may not be intuitive. Thank you for the videos, you have a great channel.
Ok, update: I took a few minutes and went through the process. I'm finding using a Mac for anything quadcopter related can be challenging. Everything, including the site for the upgrade is al optimized for Windows. However, following your instructions I was able to update the setup and see the 10 channels. Seems if didn't need the firmware update. Well, yet.....
Where I am stuck is connecting a Tarot retractable landing gear to the FS-i6X Switch D. I'm able to wire them through the receiver and get them to work with the A and B knobs, but not with the switch. I'm thinking it is related to mapping the switches, but I'm not sure. Any advice would really be helpful. I would love to see a full setup video on how to connect the Tarot landing gear to the FS-iA6B receiver using the FS-i6X controller. My design is to used 2 independent head-tracking cameras (One 4k and one 2MP Night Vision). So, I could leave the landing gear on one of the knobs and be ok, but I'd really like to know the proper way to set this up.
I'll also setting it up with 2 batteries and an additional Solar charging unit on the quad to provide a substantially longer flight time, at least that's the plan. Not sure if the second battery will be necessary.
I do enjoy your presentation. You have a great way of explaining so that it actually makes sense.
you can choose betwen ibus and sbus like in the fsi6x???
hi adam, I have just recently purchased the fs-i6x but the default is only 6 channel, is this mod applicable my transmitter? thanks for your help in advance
I made this software update. But the PPM at the port on the backside of the radio still provides just 6 channels. Is there a way to get a 10 channel PPM signal?
It worked great...thanks. 🍺🍺 BUT all my models and setting were wiped off the radio. I had to rebind 7 quads and a bunch had heat shrunk wrapped receivers that needed removal to rebind. 😭😭😭🤦♂️ But still worth the trouble. Maybe there is a way to save the settings but it wiped mine.
How can i do this on a TX that doesn't have an lcd? I have a fly-bird st-i8 (8 channel). When i opened it up, it's definitely using flysky boards so this should work. But i dont know how to go to firmware update since the TX does not have an lcd, updated doesnt show current firmware and says device not found when clicking program.
Hi loved this article about the up grade, i noticed that fly sky have a firmware upgrade on their web site for the i6 do you think that this is the official version if the upgrade
Mike
Hi! I'm not sure about that.
anyone know what those combo aux channel are for that he was talking about? also, has FLYSKY updated the firmware to include FLAPS settings, there is no FLAPS settings and it's extremely disappointing. All Specktrum radios have it and probably Futaba, but why not FLYSKY, this is a good unit and i just can't figured out why they don't do a small bit of programming and fix it for FLAPS???
I did the same but facing channel 1 stick problem,did stick calibration in transmitter nothing changes, please help.
Nice explanation.
Will my settings be deleted if I flash this firmware?
Yes it will
Hi Adam, Hope you are doing great! I was able to follow the steps and my i6 got updated to 10ch which is really amazing. Thanks a lot for the information. I had one query though, is there a way to get SBUS mode in i6? I think in i6x you can select that from the setup menu. In i6, i can use PPM and IBUS but not SBUS.
Hi Pranav! I am doing great! Strange. Does the SBUS option show up in the menu at all?
@@RCwithAdam1 Thanks a ton for your reply! No, i dont get that option. So, if i navigate to System->rx setup
I get the below options:
AFHDS 2A
PPM OUTPUT
RX BATTERY...etc
if i go inside PPM Output, i can only switch it on or off.
Am i looking at the right place?
will this allow you to use s-bus like the i6x?
Hello, my Windows can't show the usb connected with the controller. What to do? Can you suggest.?
Hello I just downloaded the software and it is installed but when I go to aux channels say 7-10 says none. I change it and when I back out and go back in says none.
i have prob to connection the usb ...im using window 8...not appear the usb port com...can teach me how to make it
Hi! Great video. I have a qustion and you may can help me...I hope... I have the exact same FS-i6 BUT it came in chinese language... Last version says "2.0 19-jun-2019".. How can i change to english lenguage?????
Hi Adam, I have upgraded to 10 Channels my FS-i6 transmitter. but I'm unable to see the sBus in the menu as FS-i6x. any idea please?
What to do if the Firmware version does't show up and it says Device not connected? Yes, I run it as Admin, I use the right COM port and right Baud Rate. The usb-uart adapter (which the cable actually is ) starts to blink but it still says device not connected. Whay should I do?
Hey i have the same problem if you found a solution please tell me
Thank you for sharing this it is very helpfull! But But for those who don't yet have the transmitter, just buy the FS i6 X instead. It already has 10 channel and it's 13$ more.
Totally agree. 👍
Thanks for the info have windows 10 and the driver shows up as PPM shows a picture of a remote any ideas
@peachyfizz had to order a data cable then it worked just fine
Thanks 👍
Worked on my i6 now have all 10 channels
Would the same update work on the fs-t6 controller to open to 10 channels ??
If you doing video cant wait
But what's about the receiver do I need to buy 10 channel receiver after upgrading transmitter or old one will work
@@rctechmods8165
Need a 10 channel receiver so get all 10 channels to work
Hi! Receivers with fewer than 10 channels with absolutely still work with the upgraded transmitter. BUT if you wanted to use 10 servo ports for an airplane, you would need a 10 channel receiver.
Adam great videos. I have the i6x and updated for ware and now I'm getting an err. 1.10 on bottom of transmitter and can't connect to receiver.tried flashing previous version and it says can't downgrade. Any ideas?
Dang that sucks. I have not gotten that error before. Maybe try flashing to the new firmware again?
VERY HELPFUL ADA .GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS .BY CHANCE DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN GET AN UPDATE THAT IS SAFE FOR THE FS I6X .IT SEEMS EVEN THE OFFICIAL FLYSKY WEBSITE HAS A VIRUS OR SOMETHING WITHIN THE UPDATE THAT WILL NOT ALLOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL .YOU SHOULD SHOOT SOME MORE OF YOUR FLYING VIDZ ALSO.KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDS AND HAPPY FLYING.
hello, i do it like u... but i dont see the device silicon labs. I have installed it x64 but he just show me under devices: "FS-i6x Firmware update" and i cant see any COM#. I can just see COM# in the MOD i6 Programmer. So witch COM# i should take from COM 1 - 8 ?
Hi, I have the same problem
@@michael_berteotti I know now why... U need a special firmware cable... The cable that's already in the box is not a firmware cable...
with the supplied update cable, the fs i6 x does not need the dongle.update is quick and easy, but no channels are added after the update.
Hey Adam. My controller won’t update to version 68. Any ideas?
I just tried to update mine and now the transmitter will not turn on. I am wondering if i turned it off before it did its' thing. :((((((((((((
My computer running Windows 10 recognizes my FS i6 controller as a game pad controller. When I look at the properties in the device tab I can't find a port number. I tried all the ports and it doesn't work.
dude wtf same.. it shows a controller icon too. Please inform if you've solved it
frustrating, none of this works. i downloaded the cp210x, that installed ok, the other polo thing wouldn't install, came with an error message saying device manager cant read it or something. downloaded the mod pack, after couple of restarts eventually got it to launch but it couldn't find my transmitter anyway. in the device menu is is listed as flysky transmitter in update mode but doesn't have a com channel. i tried every channel on the mod pack but none would connect
Recently bought I6 but when im try to upgrade to 10ch its not working, btw the package i bought didnt come with usb cable so i using the SM100 cable instead, is it the reason it's not working?
Yes. And I got to found out that there's another type of cable for upgrade use. Mf. Wasted tons of my time
My friend is trying to follow this firmware update for his Flysky remote that is for his RC diesel truck. The drivers show up as PPM and a game controller icon. It won't show up correctly with the drivers shown. Please help.
That´s the same for me, no idea how to solve it
update link on flysky website not working,I have made an update with 'Firmware 1.0.42.1560, does not work.
My radio died on me after doing this, it doesn't boot up any more after the firmware upgrade.
Any idea to revive it would be very welcome.
edit: i did the udate again on the presumed dead radio.
turned it on (nothing hapaned) but i could connect to the com port in the upgrade program. redid the program thing it bleeped (wich it dind't the first time) and came back alive.
after closing the port in the program and disconnecting i restarted the radio saw it was updated.
Good! Glad it worked out okay!
Hi Adam been watching your videos and just got my flysky data cable today do I loose all my models that I’ve put in ie Vosper mtb and Dragonforce 65 will it set the remote as if you’ve just got it out of box and heard a few people have lost channels is this worth doing as I need the extra aux channels to run lights on Vosper but heard the aux channels won’t work till I upgrade is this correct many thanks chris from Cumbria
Hi, Chris. Yes, it will reset ALL settings and ERASE all model profiles.
Thanks Adam after searching for the drivers for the data cable and a bit of messing on computer all complete and no problems on my end now have 10 channels thanks for your video on how to download everything as I would of been lost
i really dont understand it.. I have installed drivers but still not showing name with COM in devices, but some PPM. Help me, I am stuck! :D
Hi Adam; I was nearly tearing out hair because the Pololu driver had me on port 33 so invalid port for the firmware. Easy fix was relax and go into device manager and change the port number to a single digit, reset computer, run the program and bingo. Must agree that an extra 10 bucks for the i6x does make it simple. Hoping others see this post.
Hi, would you mind to explain me where is this SINGLE DIGIT to change ? I dont understand it well. Thx for help
@@ratmedscichacz Will try. I use Win 7. After downloading the Pololu, I found that the data transfer lead from transmitter to computer was set as com 33 and no way could I type that into the little box top left to select port when in the program thing in the firmware update on 10 ch_i6_ programmer. Looked up on web how to re assign com ports. Found that ya can rename in Device manager (I think), the number of the com port you wish to give to that device. It took me ages to figure that out. I guess Ya need a proper data cable and find it in your device manager, select it and see.
Oh forgot ya have to have the data cable as com port 1 to 9 , if ya try the number 10 it is a two digit number and the firmware will keep telling you Invalid port . I used number 7
Can i use it in my phone s20 plus? Thanks
Hi i have fallow this step which its all great but for some reason my pc cant identify my transmitter???
My transmitter is flysky fsi6x
Adam, I loved your tutorial! However, after the update was complete and I got the 10 channels, I noticed I lost all the previous setup I had for my drone, including the binding with the receiver. I have the Arris X 220, which came ready-to-fly. I checked several binding procedures on youtube, but they all seem to use a different receiver (FS-IA6B), which they show not yet installed on the drone, plus some sort of plug and a different battery. I feel lost because I'm brand new at this. I've removed the top part of the frame and can get to the components, but I just don't know what's what, what I need to do, and what supplies/accessories are necessary to re-bind . I'd appreciate any help you can provide.
Hi, Cesar! I understand your "lost" feeling! And sorry about not warning about losing previous model profiles. The best thing would be to send me a few good, close up pictures of the quadcopter so I can see what kind of receiver it is and sort of how it's connected. My email is RCwithAdam @ gmail dot com. What you will likely have to do is re-bind and change a few settings on your transmitter to get it back to how it was. I can probably walk you through it. 😀
@@RCwithAdam1 can we delete and again bring back the previous version?
can we delete the update we did?
Bro I had small doubt regarding this cable can be used as simulator with laptop. I had a problems in connecting with it.
There are 2 types of Cables, one just for updates/programming of the control and the other cable is for simulating an reciever on pc side, for gaming with this controller...
didnt work for me. cant upgrade because, it came with a newer version out of the box(april 2018). but stock only has 6CH...
how to downgrade to the 10CH version?
I just downloaded the file to upgrade the firmware but it cant be open.Please tell me the solution.
Do you have to rebind it to the receiver after the update? I lost my binding plug years ago :/
u dont need a bind plug... the plug just shorts the 5v and the gnd ont the last port (the channel aftr the 6th channel)
so just taack a f-to-f jumper and short the last channel thingy and ur good to go
@@kaamilverma1602 oh boy no it shorts the vcc pin
Does this upgrade disturb or corrupt any other function of the radio like elevon mixing, model number, or other?
I haven't noticed anything like that.
Anyone had an issue that shows the USB to UART bridge but instead of a com port number it says driver unavailable?
Hi, execuse me, but can I change my FS-i6s firmware to FS-i6x firmware. I have a FlySky FS-i6s transmitter, but I do not fly quadrocopters. I fly with sailplanes. Thanks!
I haven't tried yet, but I don't think it's possible since the i6S is a touchscreen and the i6X is not.
@@RCwithAdam1 Yes, I think that too, but it would be good if they had been changeable.
Hey, is there any way to connect that controller to FVP simulator on PC?
buy a simulator cable from banggood. It is cheap 10-20 dollars. Beware that simulator and data line cables are different.
Hello there, I have this same RC, by mistake, I press model reset in the menu for "Model 01" now the RC is not communicating with the drone they are bounded(transmitter and receiver) but no channels are working, I tried a factory reset but nothing changed. Do you know if I follow this procedure will re-write the models getting it back to normal?
Hi, Harold! Which drone do you have? No, this firmware upgrade won't help you get your settings back. Check out my video about possible reasons why the transmitter won't show up in betaflight ruclips.net/video/NfqdJ99ocLQ/видео.html . That might help. 🙂
@@RCwithAdam1 Thanks, Adam!! the SBUS communication was off in the RC that fix the problem. Now I'm facing another issue, channel 5 is the switch with 3 positions now is jumping from fight mode 1 to 3 and then to 6, it was working before jumping correctly y sequence 1,2,3 and the for channel switch 6 (2 positions) will do the rest 4,5 and 6 going it reverse using channel 5 switch. Do you know how I can fix this? Thanks again for all your help I really appreciate it.
Hey Adam, I found it now it's working. if it's OK with you I can share the link here.
Question? I have an i6x, it still could use firmware update to get timer/ alarm etc... I am wondering if you do firmware update will you lose all the saved aircraft and settings that you programmed in?
Yes, you will lose everything. Honestly, I haven't figured out how to access the timer/alarm feature.
Thank you if you do please let me know. Maybe it’s already on there in the i6x model but I can’t find it either. I guess a stop watch on phone is just as good! Lol
Could I flash the fsi6x forward instead
I install the drivers, seems ok, but I cannot find them in settings even after a reboot.... what now ? any ideas? win10
ok the install had worked, the trick was one of my usb ports did not have enough power or something... tried a different port and it was detected automatically and then the USB Bridge showed up in Devices. Thanks much for posting this video :)
Thanks! worked like a charm! but one thing - the program didn't start on windows 10 until run as an administrator
hi, What was the firmware version in the transmitter before updating? mine is 2.0 now 1-Feb-2018. and i can't update it. Whatever I did I could not connect to the computer.
@@ayhannkaraca I think I had the same version. I would check cable Driver and make sure the port number is correct in your case
i followed the steps and installed everything, when i plug in the pc it doesnt show port, it shows up as PPM , in Device manager in the port tab i only shows 1 port but it says communication port, i checked my controller and its v2.0, i dont remember if i updated my controller before.
Hello, did you fixed the problem? I have the Same Problem, that it shows up as PPM... Let me please know
I literally asked that 2 weeks ago!(hope you didn't make it only for me ahah). I just have 2 questions: where did you find the data cable? i bought the fsi6 new just 3 weeks ago and there wasn't.
If i go to system>factory reset after having done the upgrade and actually reset it, will it return to the normal fsi6 or what? thanks veeery much
lol just for you! ;D
Here is a link to the data cable on amazon amzn.to/2W7LUxz .(Note: I'm not totally sure if the flysky SM100 simulator cable can also be used as a data cable for the firmware, otherwise I would say to just get the simulator cable so you won't have to buy 2 cables.).
I tried the factory reset, and all it did was return all the settings I changed to default, but the firmware did not change. If you want to change the firmware, you need to download a different version from somewhere and change it just like in this video.
Mine will not got back to factory settings after flash. Also you can use a Ardinio to do the fash if you have one. There are videos on ytube how. This firware has been available for a long time. Look how to flash firmware for FlySky i6 10 channel mod
@@RCwithAdam1 okk thankss
@@johnnickerson9037 thanks for the advice! Unfortunately I don't have arduino...
I never could get it to work. Installed the drivers and the program software but never got it to show up in the devices. Tried it on windows 7 and 10 both. But works fine as a game controller for flight sims. Just wont show up in the devices and no c2102 shown at all
It's very strange--this process seems to be hit and miss. For some people it works perfectly. Sorry it's not working for you. 😕
How do mixers work?
Installed driver 100 times, device connected just says PPM, tried and failed
also me :C have you resolved it in some ways?
@@Ryleeeeeeeeeeeee i dont have this controller, but i think its a driver problem, do you got the right driver? do you started your OC again after installation? did you check your device in the device manager after driver installation? what does it say?
if its called PPM you got the wrong cable....there is a cable for programming/flashing the RC and there is another cable/adapter for playing games on pc with your rc.....
So I still will need a 10 channel receiver right? Or I could use some kind of modification for receiver
Hi! If you want to use ten servos (or similar devices) on a plane, then yes, you need to have a 10 channel receiver.
@@RCwithAdam1 I just tried this out with a TGY-IA6B (so 6 channels) receiver and an esp32. In PPM mode you get 8 channels, in I-Bus mode you get 10 channels.
How do I get this to work for ibus
Just upgraded - still works in 2023!
Thanks for the update!
mine says driver error even though I have all the correct drivers.
Successfully weme your device has 10 channels! thanks! BUT how to put an end point on channels like (7,8,9,10) it's difficult in the menu (end points) I don't have the channels 7,8,9,10! PLEASE HELP ME
I had the driver downloaded for my drone but when I'm pluging in my FlySky transmitter, there is only PPM written at devices. Can you help us? There are some more people with this question.
Hi! Can you send me a screenshot? RCwithAdam "at" gmail "dot" com .
Hello, i have the same problem can you guys help me ?
@RCwithAdam If I install the update, will it erase my beta flight settings an drones I already have loaded on my Flysky radio?
Hi! No. The Betaflight settings are stored on your quadcopter's flight controller board. BUT I would expect that if you update, any model profiles you've previously set up in your transmitter will be erased.
@@RCwithAdam1 Oh! So the reason I am asking is I had a guy mod a "phone drone" to run off my Flysky radio. I just wanted to make sure that if I update my radio it wont erase my drone in my radio. If that makes any sense.
@@brownbomer679 I think you'll have to bind it again.
@@RCwithAdam1 Thank you.
I think I just learned like 3 or 4 things from you today! Thanks bro!
