Just got into the hobby (perhaps not only hobby) and I appreciate your work so much! Big hugs from Ukraine!
Got me in the air and updated with your vids thx bro, your voice is radio ready btw.
Cool, thanks
Thank you Steve.
Brand new to the hobby and your videos are tremendously helpful. Just watched 3 or 4 of your other videos and they're all very helpful., easy to follow, and very current. So much good stuff, you just picked up another subscriber. 👍
Awesome, thank you! It's comments like this that keep me motivated to keep making videos.
Just love your cool and calm directions. This allows me to keep up. Some others fidgets back and forth causing me some frustration. Appreciate your commitment.
I appreciate this as i do spend a lot of time editing to make it as clear and concise as possible.
This was actually the easiest guide to follow. I was trying to flash a QX7. Subscribed. Thanks
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks so much for all your tutorials. So helpful. What would we all do without your clear precise instructions. Please keep em coming. It's a huge learning curve. Thank you. I fly DLG s and gliders mostly.
thanks again so much for doing these videos. i recently had to update an older radio and this video helped a bunch . i had forgotten several of the steps . so nice to come back to this video for reference. also love your funny jokes/jovial tone while doing tech heavy mundane tasks that can be frustrating at times.
Many thanks for the videos Steve. I'm a beginner and I'd be lost without your help. I was gettin the SD message after a firmware update and now its gone. Cheers👍
Glad I could help
I made so many mistakes when updating this firmware...Thanks to your video I get on very well !! Best Video i found ever !!!
Great to hear!
Hey Steve: im on my third day of trying this update. Ive watched this vid at least 10 times while following your steps. I drag n drop the new firmware into . Write to radio, then in my radio it shows up under the brackets and the read me text. Whenni click on it it says copy,delete,or rename, not write to firmware. Its getting bad spending hours trying to update a new radio. No idea what to do next. J
did you upgrade your SD card from the crappy factory one?
I did the upload and had to update the 4 in 1 internal module firmware as well. Painlessly has a video on how to update the 4 in 1 internal module firmware
Painless is the Yoda of RC stuff. Much from him I have learned over the years.
Great description, really for beginners and easy to do! Thumbs up......... ;-)
Glad you liked it! Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Another really great video my friend very well spoken fun full of information thank you very much
Thanks again!
Great guide!
Hello from mother Russia!
Hello back from North Carolina, USA!
Merci .. from Belgium
you are very welcome!
Before my rant starts, great vid :)
I've lost all my weekend trying to upgrade to 2.3.10 with companion (with my T16s having the factory firmware and sd card contents). Whenever I use Companion it corrupts my SD card, or the radio thinks it's corrupted and I get a `Bad radio data` error which causes the radio to wipe the card and restore everything to default, hence losing everything custom including models/etc.
So far I've had no luck getting the Companion to not corrupt my radio and trigger a wipe :(
Did you try using a larger SD card then what came with your radio?
Thanks Steve. I haven’t yet. I thought that might he the case, I got one ordered. Will try again when it arrives 🤞
Thanks, man. Cheers from Brazil
Much appreciated thanks for watching
great series on the TX16S. very helpful. wondering if you could explain the slider pot switches and the 6 buttons under S1 and S2! thanks Cheers!
They are just different inputs. As a multirotor pilot, I don't use them. I think airplane pilots use the 6 buttons for flight modes. When I used to do aerial video with a big hexacopter rig and a gimbal, I used to use the pots to aim the gimbal left/right, and up/down. I don't use them anymore as I am using a Mavic to do video stuff. Hope that helps.
Thanks a lot.. Cheers from Indonesia
Glad it helped
Good info ! Thanks a bunch !
You bet!
I am following what you are doing. However, when I try to Read/Write it says there is no radio found. It is showing in "My PC" though
Always great informative information! Unfortunately I tried to update to this firmware watching the video and I must have messed up somewhere. It says there is not enough room but I've never done an update lol.
Swap out the factory SD card with a better, larger capacity card.
Oh really? I have a 32gig just laying around, will that be good enough? Then just follow one of your videos? Sorry still new to all this haha
@@blizzyfpv Copy the contents from your existing SD card onto your hard drive, then copy the contents from your hard drive to the new SD card. 32 gigs is plenty big enough
Thanks man! I appreciate it and the videos.
Great video ! Thank you so much steeve !! from france :D :D
My pleasure!
Sorry about that I'm playing with a new phone
500th like ... thanks for the vid
This will be my first time updating my radiomaster tx16s its still running 2.3
9 that it came with, my concern is even with the backup will I have to redo things like yaapu telemetry and maps and even my sounds that's setup on all the switches, thanks alot for video
thanks for the vid Im having trouble finding the .bin file for updating updating the bootloader
I cant see my radio at all when i plug it into windows, nor can i see that weird device that everyone's talking about in device manager, but my radio says usb connected, what am i doing wrong?
Thanks so much for the very clear video. I got to the section to copy the new SD files to the radio but there is not enough room. This is a brand new
radio. Any idea how I can free up space. The new SD files total 149MB. Is that correct?
Thanks
Mark
Replace the factory SD card with a larger, better card.
You can also use OpenTX Companion to sync the SD card files instead of drag and drop in Windows Explorer like Steve does. I ran into the same jam and happened to find a spare 32GB card but that seemed like overkill so I poked around and found the sync option. I backup up the original SD Card files to my computer just in case before attempting the sync.
I am new to this hobby and your videos r really helping me a lot for setting up tx16s. Really appreciate your efforts for making these videos. I just updated to 2.3.10 and I am getting warning for failsafe only as I have not set up yet......No other warning means update is successful,right? I am getting the both bootloader and opentx as 2.3.10.....Wt r the ways to know that our update is successful?
You're good! Lots of good vids on failsafe and you should set it up, but you can bypass that message and fly now.
One of the reasons I don't fly as often as I would like is that it can get lonely. Flying alone can be fun for only so long. I want to see how other people fly and figure out how bad of pilot I really am. I've been waiting for my nephew to show a little interest but he's playing minecraft and fortnite.
My son plays video games as well, but I dragged him out with me enough times to where he was comfortable enough to give it a shot. In less then a weekend, he can fly circles around me.
@@TahoeSteve My nephew has flown enough to keep it off the walls but still would rather play video games. I'm lucky enough to live close to him and every time he stays with me I try to get him to fly a couple times hoping that one day he'll just "get it" and will suddenly like it. I also live in a rural area and it's hard to find others that fly. That's so cool to be able to share an interest with your son, I always wanted a couple of kids. Thanks a million for responding my man. Also, your TX16S vids have been indispensable, thank you again.
Thanks so much for all the help . i have a question to make i try to update my firmware in my radio and i keep take the same message from companion YOUR RADIO DOES NOT SEEM TO CONNECTED TO USB OR THE DRIVER IS NOT INITIALIZED why?
same issue here!
@@kevinch3 after 7 months i learn why. usually is the drivers. need to install them again, you can find them in the radiomaster site
Could you please make a video on how to bind an r9m 2019 module to an r9 mm receiver using tx16s?
I have spent weeks trying to bind them but they wont.
I have made sure to use ACCST FLEX software of both.
I just don't know what I am doing wrong.
I won't be able to as I am invested in Crossfire. I'm sure a simple Google search will get you your answer. good luck!
I will update the opentx 2.3.10
I want to ask
What will be on the checklist?
Edid settings-radio profile-buld options?
Tx16s I used for the helicopter
I'm a new tx16s user, still have a lot to learn
I flashed 2.3.10 and when I tried to bind my FrSky X8R the radio says I need an update to the 4 in one module. Thinking about going back to 2.3.9
please tell me how to flash bootloader tx16s to the correct firmware. bootloader was flashed with the wrong firmware, the firmware was intended for another device
i find answer. 1) flash edge frimeware auto. 2) tx16s turn on 3) flash bootloader 4) flash opentx
When will open tx enable touch screen?
sa;ys not enough space when draggin to root derectory drive for usb.?? im on mac
Replace the SD card that came with it with a nicer, larger cap card.
I have tried, and follow step by step in your video
why is this still there? What is wrong?
Sd card worning.........v0034
Can u help me?
Update your SD card content to the exact version of your OpenTX firmware
I have tried to follow what you did, the final result is there "sd card warning'
I also follow how to copy and paste.
but it can't, because my SD card is full, what is the problem with my SD card?
Get a larger capacity SD card.
@@TahoeSteve try to delete languages in "sound" on your remote control; it worked for me
When you are at the flash firmware page mind does not say bin file and I cannot Flash the bootloader to 2. 3. 10 for some reason I cannot find the bin file can you please help
UPDATE i added .bin to the save file firmware name.. and it worked .. will that mess anything up?
I just got my Tx16s in the mail. Should I update to 2.3.11 before doing anything else?
Get used to the basics first. When you are comfortable, then update.
Hi Steve, I downloaded Firmware from Radiomaster, 2.3.9 & 2.3.10, they're both marked by VLC Media Player...? WTH..? VLC media (.bin)...? I never marked them or tried to open them, sometimes I have go to Properties and unblock it if its Blocked....? Help..? Please...? =)
Hi Steve, I liked your video but I think I bricked my tx16; it can't turn on after loading it. Just a light at the far left; no welcome screen. Please help.
Try this ruclips.net/video/0RvQFaq-Pg8/видео.html
@@TahoeSteve thanks for all your tutorials. really helpful!
Thanks. So why does it keep on asking for the firmware to be updated on the tx? I'm sure you updated the firmware.
It is a very few confusing concept because people refer to open TX being firmware and then there is the actual firmware for the hardware of the radio. If it were up to me open TX would be called the operating system of the radio, and that way firmware would not be such a confusing word.
Hi Steve. Have been following your instructions through religiously for updating Open TX and the SD card contents for my TX16S. But have stumbled at the last hurdle. When I try to copy and paste the downloaded contents of the SD card to the root directory of the SD card in the radio as you show, because there are many files with the same name, I am being asked if I want to merge or replace them. Just need to be sure on what I should do at this point. Thanks.
Good question, and I don't know the right answer. Hopefully someone will chime in here. I select overwrite them because it seems weird to have to do this step in the first place. If you have custom sounds for hello and others, you will mess these up, so if you create your own custom sounds, have them in another folder to put on the SD card after you overwrite as previously stated.
@@TahoeSteve Hi Steve. A follow up on the above. Im using a Mac so possibly the options are a little different when I went to drag and drop the contents of the SD card onto the radio. But I have found that selecting 'merge' from the options I had was successful. Thanks for the most excellent series on the TX16S radio.
Okso I followed along however I did it on your 2.3.9 and some how I couldn't get the sd card updated. So I went to sd card synchronize SD card do not compare only if new and it worded.Well it did not work as I thought. I just cant get the firmware into the file. I loads the old firmware each time. I'll have to work on it.
If you upgraded to 2.3.10, then be sure to get the 2.3.10 SD contents off the website and put those on your card. You will probably have to get a larger SD card as the one that ships with the radio is very small.
Is it possible to transfer an Open TX Companion profile for my RadioMaster TX16S made on my Mac, to an Open TX Companion version on my Windows? I set up the radio on my Mac laptop but would rather have all my RC stuff on my PC desktop together
i dont have any mac equipment, but would guess it would work. Any Mac people answer this question for him?
Sorry to tell you that bugs are jumping around. An example: 2.3.10 TX16S: Active point does not follow curve in Input editor...
That's inevitable and the reason why software is developed in stages.
@@TahoeSteve Buuttt, that was something already working in the previous version...
@@enriquech4041 I'm guessing you don't develop software for a living. All I can tell you is be patient. This is an Open Source project and the developers are volunteers. I think they have done an amazing job and bugs are gonna happen. Did you look at the release notes to see all the improvements made in 2.3.10? Bottom line, if you don't want to update, don't update.
@@TahoeSteve Do you?
@@TahoeSteve Doesnt matter, youre the reason these chinese keep selling these crap!
Thank i followed the directions of the video ... But i bricked my tx16s :( cant even get to bootloader any way to unbrick it?

@@TahoeSteve Thanks for the reply Steve. You were just a tad slower than Radiomaster, they recomended the same video to me hahaha. Thanks i appreciate it a lot
I don’t have enough space on my usb drive (8:53). It says i need 64.6 MB more
Should i just get a bigger sd card?
I think the card that came with it is very small, so yes.
@@TahoeSteve i have 0 idea how to get the data from the current sd card onto a new bigger one. Would that even solve the problem?
@@TahoeSteve sheesh, i thought i ruined my remote for good, it even went into emergency mode at one point. I really don’t even know how i got everything working again but now i have all my models except for one. I have them saved so i should be able to get it back right? 🤦🏼♂️ how does that even happen
Copy your files from the SD card to your computer and then copy them from your computer to the new SD card
Too much blow just before the video?
Ssshhhhhhhhhh!
Well Mate ... it didn't work for me. Problems pop up, etc. that your video doesn't cover. I've messed with this thing (TX16S) for so friggin long with no success..... It makes me sick just to look at it. It's not worth the effort. Flying a drone shouldn't be that difficult. I'm thinking about just trashing the damn thing and end the frustration.
seriously. tell people at the beginning to get a larger sd card. I almost pooped my pants 3 TIMES! luckily i am a toilet paper subscriber at amazon. God forgive me for my crimes
good tip.
Another garbage headache radio. This is 2020 all my devices update automatically once it sees wifi.
if you say so.
@@TahoeSteve But wouldn’t you agree?
@@TahoeSteve Dont you think updating should take way less time?
No, not in the least! , It is so easy and user friendly these days. Here's just a sample of what you had to go through just a few short years ago. oscarliang.com/flash-kk20-16-firmware-upgrade-arduino/ take a close look and appreciate the hard work of the Betaflight developers.
Is there a way to downgrade the firmware? I upgraded to the latest as of today like an idiot to 2.3.15 and this version is absolute crap. Every receivers i have, would bind but would crap up (loose signal briefly) every so often. All my frsky receivers were all solid before. Now none of them are. Any way to downgrade?
