JB; as you probably have seen. I had struggled this entire weekend trying to get the receiver configured. UGH! Even went out and purchased another RX thinking mine was AFU! This video solved my issue. Thank you so much! Now, I can call PriroFlipRC and tell them to cancel my order. Nah! I'll have a receiver to give to someone when they need one. I was given a whole bunch of free GOOD advice when I started. It's the least I can do to help another individual just starting out.
I'm trying to use a Jumper R8II controller (which is like the R8 but has a duplex pin for RX/TX, plus Sbus RX port) to make LUA telemetry work on my TX16s.
On your other F-port video you said you only need 3 wires from rxsr, how come here at 3:05 it shows you have 4 wires, the green still being connected to the sbus pad. I'm trying to connect an RSXR to a Talon F7, I can get my QX7 to bind to rx, but I can't get any stick inputs through betaflight and getting an RX_Failsafe error. Using Tx4 as my fport . Thanks for the video though it still helped answer a few other questions.
Joshua Bardwell, thank you sooo much for the quick response! i found my problem, must have read pinout wrong, but had signal wire connected to TX1 not TX4. Btw. since the quarantine, catching up on quad repairs, my newly made JB smoke stopper saved two different quads from magic smoke. Thanks again!!
I guess that's the price for a massive, powerful, feature loaded piece of software that can run on even very simple (and cheap) electronics and can be controlled by just 6 buttons. When I got my Taranis I tried to not change anything that I had no clue of... that worked well for me.
On the New Mamba F411 AIO 25A ESC, they have both, RC tx pad and Inverted pad(s.port) on UART 1. Do I have to desolder the RC signal for f port to work?
I have an x-lite running opentx 2.2.4 and a crazybee F4 board trying to add an R-XSR. I can bind and fly the quad using sbus with the rxsr firmware 191112, but when I flash the fport firmware 191128 I can bind but I can't get activity in the receivers tab. I'm using the "inverted" pad on the R-XSR and set serial inverted off as well as half duplex on. Telemetry is turned on in betaflight as well as fport is selected as the protocol. Not sure if i'm missing something...
Quick tip I love: long press on page button moves backward in the menus. So telemetry screen is easily accessible after short pressing menu then long pressing page. :)
I wonder if Joshua or anybody else can help. My new Archer GR8 receiver does not allow me to plug a sensor using the standard servo plug anymore. I had it working with the pre-ACCESS RX8R Pro as the Smart Port plug was for standard servo plugs. Do I have to use that new 4-pins F.Port connection now? If so, I guess I need to change the plug on the sensor side. Just a bit unsure, as it is, as usual, difficult to get clear info from FrSky. Any help is highly appreciated.
thx for the video. for anyone that this doesn't work. if you dont have a telem/sp labled pad and using a generic uart, make sure you're on the TX pad and not RX. If you are using an rxsr and a generic tx pad you will need to use the uninverted p pad on the rxsr to get telemetry to work
It's still not working for me on HGLRC XJB F428. I've tried all 4 combinations for inverted/half duplex as well as inverted and un-inverted hacks...No change. Not receiving any stick input on BF 3.3.2
Hello sir I bought a super viper I have a controller fsi6 and a gyro reflex v2 for some reason I don’t know how to make the gyro (reflex v2) put in safe mode. I have the safe mode options in my remote (fsi6) but the gyro will still led flash instead of bing just on (safe gyro) Also I didn’t connect any ibus pmm Just the servos the reciver is a fs ia6b Is it why I can’t turn it on? Because I didn’t connect the ibus ? Help please
Hi Joshua , I just try it on F745 contoller and R9 slim+ OTA , i flash FCC fport , i get telemetry RSSI , and reciever bound ok but it is not responding to X7 transmitter i change TX2 to TX3 I try all CLI serialrx_ half and all others but ?????? please help
Have you ever seen where the Receiver tab isn't live but stutters? First time ever I have seen this. Just flashed my XSR to FPort since I needed to update it anyway. previous was SBus and I didn't see the issue then. Going to try and go back to see if it helps. Doesn't help I am on a Matek F405 AIO
I have f port working soldered on the pad on r-xsr and have serial rx UART 1 and connect that wire to sbus on mamba f405 mini. In your reciever tab you have telemetry set to aux 3. It's that because you're using uart3 or... What? I don't know what to set that aux to. I have an x-lite so I need to do something with that? I get rssi and vbat but don't know if I'm missing something out...? I also did nothing with inversion. I have no clue about that. It works and flies so it didn't fry anything...
@@JoshuaBardwellThanks for the reply. On the mini mamba or any other f4 fc I've come across there's never been a pinout titled 'smartbus' so I guess I'm not understanding it. In the ports tab I need to select and solder to the corresponding UART port and just select serial rx. And not select smartport on that selected port. Currently it's working as far as I can tell going through sbus. It flies and I have telemetry. Is betaflight not telling the fc that the sbus port is being used as fport in the configuration tab? goo.gl/images/qbJqnP
Can I connect the Fport from a R9mini to the SBUS pat on a f4? Both are inverted, so it should work? Okay maybe dumb question, but I'm very new... Inverted TX pat is not = RX pat? So there are 4 option Tx inverted/uninverted Rx inverted/uninverted I have an old DYS f4 AIO with just an SBUS pat... so it won't work with Fport?
So I just did the fport conversion on my Matek-f405 with my r-xsr on urat 2, the S Bus pad. I'm running inav and everything seems to be working except telemetry I'm only getting the r-xsr telemetry. My taranis is only running open TX 2.1.8 I'm guessing that this is the problem but I'm leery to upgrade to open TX 2.2 when previously updating my radio open TX prompted me to update my internal module and then bricked it and I had to replace it.
Hmm, this is cool. Joshua, please keep these great videos coming! I just did added SmartPort capability on a Flycolor S-Tower (F3), using Pin 6 of the PWM (10-Pin) connector to a FrSky XSR. Supposedly on this FC, if you use the supplied SmartPort pad, it's shared with the USB bus and complications ensue using them simultaneously, so better to use a free TX pin and SoftSerial. I'll have to try this F.Port mod soon, but since everything is working now, I'll wait. ;)
Thanks for the great videos. I am using Inav 7.1.2, Frsky R-XSR with firmware Accst 2.1.1 Fport LBT (for Europe). My transmitter is the Radiomaster Zorro with 4 in 1 internal module. The Smart port (S Port) I am using to connect to the Speedybee F405 WING MINI is the uninverted S Port pad (letter P with bar on it) on the Frsky R-XSR. The ground, +, uninverted S Port from R-XSR all connected to the port listed as the TELEMETRY port with the GH 1.25 6 Pin connector (wire and connector was not included with my SpeedyBee F405WING MINI). The uninverted S Port from the Frsky Rxsr is connected t 0:15 o the TX2. Other than TX2 to uninverted SPort, + and ground there is nothing else connected, so the sbus cable from the receiver is not connected. On Inav it is not necessary to use the Soft Serial mode. On Inav: Ports section; Uart2 Serial RX is selected, on Configuration; Enable CPU based serial is NOT selected, Gps for telemetry and Telemetry output are selected, on Receiver section of Inav; Receiver type is Serial, Serial Receiver provider is FPORT, Serial port inverted is On and Serial Receiver half-duplex is set to Auto. I am receiving all telemetry just fine on the transmitter. PLEASE NOTE: SPEEDYBEE WEB SITE as of the date of this comment has the GH 1.25mm 6P connector listed upside down. In other words where it says 4v5 is actually the ground and where it says ground is the 4v5. The small brochure that came with the f405wing mini is correct but the web site is wrong as of the date of this comment so please pay special attention as this also changes the actual location of the TX2 pin.
Hi joshua Jumper r1 f-port receiver fault as on most i have seen online when binding both lights light up but you have green led on outer edge of board and red on inner which flashes in bind mode and green goes solid after power cycle the receiver i have was got last week and when i put in bind mode red is on outer edge of board and green on inner when binding green light flashes and after power cycle red light goes solid it seems to be connected Another point was to get it to bind i had to change RF fine tune freq to -15 it will not bind at RF fine freq at 0 should i trust this receiver i have heard of other people having problems with bind procedures on this reciver
Flashed my rxsr and my qx7s accst. Works for that particular drone, but now none of my other drones will bind to that transmitter. They are all xm+ and a Mobula 6. What do I do to get them to work again?
Hahaha. Subjected to watching videos while I'm saving for my new build. Yes, I lost my 1st one. I think someone snagged it faster than I could get over to where it went down. But in my setup, I was having trouble with the telemetry. It kinda worked. This explains what I did wrong and how to set it up correctly. Thanks JB! Hense "FPV knowitall". Title well earned.
@@JoshuaBardwell I already did that. But I use fport for a reason. The reason is that the normal sbus doesn't work anymore. Also I wired the fport to the SBus pad on my F4 so that could be the problem
Great info. I got my r xsr hooked up to my kakute F7 (f port) and it works awesome. I did remove the sbus from the r xsr, Problem is the barometer on the F7 is now not recognized in betaflight and not showing. Any thought how to recover the baro?

what pad to connect r9 slim+ smart port with matek f405 ctr? please!
Whats up bardwell? I need some help with getting my qx7 to work with my r-xsr. Im using the pyro f4 osd fc and flashed the firmware to the r-xsr for fport and lua scripts. Im bound to the rx and appear to get telemetry but dont get any stick movement in bf. I tried the tele pad and tx4 on the fc and neither worked. I've also tried the serialrx permutations in the cli. I'm new to taranis and not getting any help from my fb groups that I'm a member of. Please help me! Thanks bud
hey Joshua. i have fport activated on my kakute f4 AIO. but i have a problem with the telemetry on my taranis x9d+. RSSi i get, but i dont see the battery power from the lipo. descovers new sensors bring no solution. do you have a idea. thanx
When I got my X4RSB I was looking into using Fport because I have an F4 but I found the uninvert hack less of a hassle than flashing new firmware to the receiver.
Mamba Mini (F4) and F.Port seems to be a miss. R9MM inverted s.port pad to FC TX6 pad doesn't want to send telemetry despite CLI tweaks and R9MM being flashed and Set in telemetry modes. Radio link works and it discovers all senors, not no current draw updates, been trying to not figuring it out so far..
If sensors are discovered but current does not update then it sounds like telemetry is working but current sensing is not. Go to power and battery tab and make sure current sensor is set correctly. Make sure the osd shows current flowing.
@@JoshuaBardwell Thanks for your help, you were right! The telemetry was coming through okay, I mistook the lack of current sensor updates as an f.port tele issue but in fact it was the BF power and battery tab configuration that needed some tweaks. All working now, thanks again!
my sbus stop working when i tryed it only will work on ppm i tryed to even use sbus wich diff reciver not even f port just at less work it was just fine be for this
hi JB, what I'm missing. I have no telemetry apart from RxBt and RSSI after Discover new sensors. I've installed an R9 MM with latest firm FLEX_20190201. and OpenTx 2.2.3 on my Taranis Qx7. The channels are working great. The problem is the lack of sensors in the telemetry
Thank you for your fast answer. I have flashed FLEX_20190201 on R9 MM and R9M_FLEX in the TX module (Taranis QX7). My FC is a HAKRC Flying F4 v3. I have telemetry selected in BF. I don't have UART selected because I'm using F.port. Is it necessary to assign UART with F.PORT? I'm using the S.PORT/F.POT pin on R9 MM.
Hey everybody :) I followed everything in the video, but it still does not work. The weird thing is: it is not saying "no telemetry" when i enter the telemetry tab in the taranis qx7... Does anybody have a solution?
So I’m wondering should I try to reflash the rxsr receivers or should I update the firmware on my x lite radio And see if that helps me connect and get good signal out of the receivers
Have never got telemetry to work on a F4 with a FrSky XRS. Have tried on a CLRacing F4S and RTFQ Freestyle F4. Considering changing this Quad to a Omnibus F3 which I have working a few older quads. Will try this f port first, thanks for this video.
I was able to get Fport working on my Matek F405 Std with a R-xsr receiver. But, my telemetry is not coming over to my Taranis. Any thoughts? I have deleted the stock 2 that come normally then Tried to discover the rest. It failed. Still back to my stock 2.
@@JoshuaBardwell It was "on" and I changed it to "off". No Go. I also tried to rebound the receiver. That didn't work either. I am wondering if TX3 is capable of bidirectional signals?
Is there any drawback for using this like increase of latency since now 2 types of signals are being communicated with the same wire? This seems just too good to be true?
Hi Josh, I have an r9mm receiver updated firmware to fport, that is bound to my taranis /r9m module also updated firmware, and feeding back rssi telemetry to the radio so I know that connection is good. fport/ smartport wire soldered to tx1, ports page, uart 1 set to serial, tried all variables of the command line on/off. Still not working on the bf reciever page. Any ideas?
If you are using the R9MM then you should connect the un-inverted SmartPort wire to any UART TX pad, then in the CLI type "set serialrx_inverted=on" then "save". If this doesn't work, type "get serialrx_halfduplex" and if it's on, turn it off, and if it's off, turn it on. If that doesn't work, use a different UART TX pad and see if that works.
So are you using F Port on all of your personal models? I ask as I'd imagine that it essentially halves your input signals now. Is that right? Or am I looking at it wrong?
R9MM should be currently F_PORT enabled right? And the pin should be the same for S_PORT... (trying to understand how to wire it up on my Matek F405-CTR)
You can do exactly as you see here with R9MM. It does support FPort. The main advantage of R9MM is that it also has an inverted S.Port pin if your FC doesn't have an inverted UART for SmartPort or FPort. If you use the inverted S.Port pin you must go into the CLI and type set serialrx_inverted=on (if you are using FPort) set tlm_inverted=on (if you are using SmartPort) save
@@JoshuaBardwell thanks a lot for your reply. Unfortunately I've got a quite bigger problem... I've bought a Jumper T12 basically for the form factor since my FPV backpack is not that big. In order to make long range (as an upgrade for my Flysky FS-i6) I've also bought a Frsky module R9M plus R9MM receivers. When I go through the binding procedure, if I select and execute the "Bnd" command (page 2 of model pages) it does not blink or make any sound either... Really don't know what to do since if I use the crappy multimodule shipped with the T12 itself, binding command does work correctly (blinking and beeping while looking for a receiver). Thanks again anyway, cheers.
Hey Dudu ! I dont know what Can i do ? I have the mamba f4 mk2 Stack with the 40a esc with the crossfire nano ! In the Description is that i Connect the Tbs Nano to rx6 and tx6 ! My taranis is Connect with the Nano but i dont know how can i get the uart or get the Signal to betaglight! Can you give me please a tip how Can i realise or fix it ? Regards from Germany
Make sure you connected TX to RX and RX to TX between the Nano and the FC. A lot of people get the wires backwards. Enable Serial RX on UART 6 in the Ports tab In the Configuration tab set serial receiver protocol = CRSF
I found a R9MM, flashed the firmware R9Mini_FCC_Fport.frk, and connected the Inverted SPort to TX1 on a new F411-Wing (flashed with the F411 softserial firmware). I set Fport as the serial receiver source in iNav, and now the Taranis X9D works the channels on the Receiver tab in iNav. However, I can't get the telemetry to work. My R9M is flashed with R9M_FCC.frk, version 20190117. Per the Matek Fport page, I have entered: set serialrx_provider = FPORT set serialrx_inverted = ON set serialrx_halfduplex = ON Per Oscar Liang, I have also tried turning serialrx_halfduplex off and on again. Same with serialrx_inverted. I have gone to the Taranis telemetry page, deleted all sensors, but when I choose Discover New Sensors, it doesn't find any. Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
I finally got it working by going to an earlier version of the F411-WING firmware and trying a newer version of the R9MM firmware. Thanks for your reply!
Hi Joshua. First of all, I am very grateful for all the work you put into your videos. I gained a lot of useful knowledge from them! I have a rather unusual problem. My fc is AIRB/OMNIBUSF4SD(STM32F405) BF version 4.3.2 (it doesn't work at all on other newer BF versions) Radio X9D+ se, soft RF module XJT_ACCST_2.1.0_FCC FrSky XSR ACCST receiver (X4RXSR_ACCST_2.1.0_Fport_FCC) s.port not modified, connected to FC on a dedicated s.Bus pad. The controls in the receiver tab work (sliders move) but telemetry does not work. As for CLI, I checked all configurations. The set serialrx_inverted option doesn't change anything in my case. The set serialrx_halfduplex option must be set to OFF for the control to work. I'm at a loss because before updating to the latest BF version, everything worked fine, I had all the telemetry (it worked normally on software 3.2.2). I will be grateful for any help :] Regards !
How are the stock antennas on R-XSR? Is it a good idea to straight up just strip them to 33mm instead of leaving them however short they come out of the box?
Hi Josh i can't find a video about Taranis problems on your lists, but here is one for you. My firmware version is 2.2.3 I think that is the latest update. but when I choose new model on the first page I don't get the model type screen. Then in model setup, on model image I get "No bit maps on SD". They are there on the SD when i plug it into my PC. but not showing in Taranis Any ideas
Most likely your SD card needs to be replaced. Especially if it is the original SD card that came with the radio. They are kind of junk. On the PC, you see the files, but if you try to actually open one does it open?
I can't get my R-XSR to work on my Mamba F722S, I just don't understand... Software is flashed and RX bound, BF is up to date, I tried the 4 cli, inverted hack or not, doesn't work on any of the tx pads
On an F7 processor you don't need to do any inversion hack. SmartPort out (yellow wire) from the RXSR to UART TX on the FC. Serial RX enabled on that UART in the Betaflight Ports tab. Serial receiver protocol set to FPort in the Configuration tab. Then CLI either halfduplex on or off. Do not change the serialrx_inverted option on an F7 you don't need it.
I don't understand. I've got a Diatone gt-r90 and a frsky R-XSR. Where I've to wire the SBus and s.port from my receiver on my flight controller? Both to the SBus pad on my flightcontroller?
Hey Joshua, I am using your RDQ F4-AIO, and the FrSky R-XSR. I have quadruple check my wiring, and it seems correct for the setup. In Betaflight I have set UART3 with Serial RX on, and UART 1 serial RX disabled. Receiver configuration is set as serial based and FrSky FPort. My XD9+ and the receiver are bound as indicated by the solid green light. On my transmitter my channels are set as AETR, and in the outputs they all put out the correct uS range when going through the throws. My problem is on the Betaflight screen when on and connected, my channels do not move. All channels are at 1500uS except throttle, Aux 13, and Aux 14. I am just coming over to FrSky from Spektrum, so there are quite a few new features to me. I also went through the New Taranis+ setup video to see of I was missing something on my initial radio setup. Edit: Using Betaflight 3.3.2, and configurator 10.2.0
Also, be careful not to accidentally enable PPM when first binding your receiver. Otherwise, you gonna have a bad time. On the R-XSR if your inputs do nothing in the receiver tab, check that you a blue led and a green led, both solid.
I tried Fport on a quad a couple months ago. X4RSB rx and Beerotor F4 fc. RSSI displayed really low numbers but the quad flew fine, for a couple minutes, then it just dropped out of the sky. I was only a couple hundred yards away and had been farther.
Hi, quick question if I understood correctly, on f4 like JB AIO, connect the smart port wire after flashing to fport to the T on the f4 board? Thanks !
Hello Mr Bardwell I have your first f4 FC and using R XSR f.port. I got f.port to work I had to turn off halfduplex and invert both off. My question is can I use the sbus pad for smart audio sadly I burned off my tx4
SBUS pad is rx. SmartAudio needs TX. That's a no go. You can use ledstrip remapped to softserial. Instructions are in the Troubleshooting section of the manual.
Hello Josh, im new to open tx after yrs of spectrum im trying to get a 5 inch setup qx7 the receiver your using in this video. I have the lux V2 FC. I wired the rec as you described. My problem is i cant get the rec. tab in BF to work. On the lux v2 the serial rx is uart 4 the tx is uart 5 i have the serial turned on uart 4 and in config i have serial rx and sbus on, is that wrong?
Picked up a RXSR - Using an Omnibus F4 V3 - using iNav (uh-oh). The FC does not have an inverted input (SoftSerial) and iNav doe snot let me remap resources. So I figured out where to pickup the non-inverted signal on my RXSR but I fear for the pad's safety since it is so small. Can I jump it to the SBus in (pin 5) and then use that wire out of the connector? Can I use teh SBus out pin to jump to? I like the connector because I can still disonnect and remove if necessary
hey, i installed a r xsr with f-port on my hobbywing xrotor g2 stack and the reciveing works fine, but i dont find any sensor more than rssi and rxbt, but in my matek f722 with r xsr and f-port i found 14 sensors. do you have any thoughts what i could have doing wrong?
Joshua Bardwell mh sad... but thank you soo much! You helped me so many times! w/o I would not have been able to get that damn drone up and running! Thank you
Thanks for the info once again, but im having issues w getting the battery voltage on the Taranis, I dont have a page 13 of 13 (Display) from the PAGE tab to get the voltage to switch over to Vbat instead of Current, i only have 12 of 12.
Joshua if I flash my X4R-SB for F.Port will I still be able to use the original SBUS connection on the end of the receiver for controlling a gimbal for example?
hi joshua when are you gonna build your massive droner, just putting mine togther used airbot ori32 esc emax 1106 4500kv and 4cell and the new ominibus f4 nano v6 i can get 8k/8kl imited by gyro ,are there any 20x20 FC,s that go higher and are there any qurks to tuning a micro quad.
Hey Josh I’ve done everything I know how to the quad And my Rsxr Will bind but will not put out any signal I am running a Kakute f7 stack I have s bus connected to Rx six I have smart port connected to Tx four , I have serial rx 4 in the on position, I have even gone to the command line and did the two changes you suggested and still no signal I have been at this a little over a week I’m just frustrated at this point is there any other help that you could give me. I’ve made all kinds of changes and nothing seems to work
If you are not running the FPort firmware, then the CLI changes I gave in this video will not help. Are you running the FPort or the standard firmware? You have SBUS connected to RX6. A really common mistake is to use the white wire, which is SBUS IN. Forget that wire. You want the green SBUS OUT wire connected to RX6.
I am running the fport firmware, I just put a different receiver from a different quad that was running S bus and now it works so I’m wondering if I have a batch of bad receivers I’ve tried two different new ones that I bought as a batch of five and I cannot get either of them to work in fport or s bus
If you're running FPort then the green wire isn't needed. The Yellow wire to TX6 would be my approach. Enable Serial RX on UART 6. Set serial receiver protocol to FPort. Then possibly need to tweak serialrx_halfduplex.
Joshua Bardwell Hey buddy I just wanted to say thank you for the help it’s nice to know that you’re really out there and you did respond, I will try to start using your affiliate link so that I can help you out. Thanks again.FPVforlife....
I've tried this, and it didn't work - my FC has a F-port pad on the and the manual says that the Sbus goes to that pad on the FC. It is Uart5, but regardless, It wont do what you show here. I've tried to use the Inverted Sbus to no avail too. The reciever is a Frsky Archer RS. The FC is a Diatone Mamba F405basicMk3. In my Taranis X9lite I have only 3 sensors in the telemetry tab (shouldnt I have more ?)
For the Archer series of receivers, you switch them between SBUS and FPORT using a menu option in the radio. I don't know off the top of my head exactly where it is. It's in the receiver settings menu somewhere. You might also need to go to the Betaflight CLI and type set serialrx_halfduplex=on save
I've actually just tried to power another RS receiver I had on a 1S battery, and it does the same thing, so there must be something I am missing. I've flashed my X9 L with the latest firmware, and the receiver is also updated (wired style).
Yes. Do just like I showed in the video. Connect the SmartPort wire to the Telemetry pad on your FC. The Telemetry pad will have a bidirectional inverter and Fport will work. Or if you are using F3 or F7, use any UART TX pad because they can handle inversion no problem.
However, for an F4 board with no telemetry pad, you are stuck. You would have to cut the trace from the inverter to the jack and solder a bypass wire. Possible, but not at all easy (no instructions given on how to do this - and you cannot just bridge the inverter).
Just saw this question because I may have to do the hack. You may be able to desolder the plug, cut the smartport pin off flush with the plug, resolder the plug to the board, then solder a short jumper wire from the backside of the pin to the P pad. However this may prevent you from flashing firmware since the normal smartport connection is necessary for flashing. Doesn't avoid soldering to the tiny P pad but makes for a cleaner install. A lot of work and better have skills soldering. Lol
Is it possible tu run F.Port on a DALRC F405 AIO? This board have not a inverted Telemetryport on any TX-Port. The only one inverted port is the SBUS-Pin and they dont work Telemetry but the RX-Signal. I have flash the F.Port-Firmware on my R-XSR and i use the yellow cable.
You have to use the P pad on the RXSR which outputs uninverted telemetry and fport. Then you can use any UART TX pad on the flight controller. Go to the CLI and type "set serialrx_inverted = on".
OK, thanks for your very quick answer. But, i let it be so how it is. It was a interesting think to try it again. Now i have flash the RXSR with the FPORT-firmware and i have the same as before on the yellow wire (out of the box this was the SPORT signal and now its the FPORT or the SBUS for me on RX1). I realy dont need telemetry. Thanks a lot and happy flying :)
It definitely works on the JBF4. I did it myself in this video :-) Did you wire the SBUS wire to the Telemetry pad maybe? FPort uses the SmartPort wire. That's my best guess.
Thank you Joshua for this video. I'm having an issue. I have FLirt working and seem to have telemetry working "sort of" 😲 Since my craft is down and out awaiting a new FPV camera. I decided to upgrade my TX "SE Plus" to the latest firmware as well and as I stated, everything seemed to work just fine. I was able to see all the lua menu screens and the vtx screen. But now for some reason I get that annoying syntax error / out of memory error just before I get to the vtx settings. Any clue how to fix this. Thank you in advance for any input.
I cant seem to setup f.port with the R9 Mini and the Dalrc F405...is it possible? ARGH. Tried the CLI invert and halfduplex. Dalrc F045 seems to have a RSSI/S.PORT pad on TX4...but can't seem to get f.port to work with various combos of setting serialrx in CLI / config/ ports...UPDATE seems like I have f.port. with this setup: R9 Mini f.port wire to "RC" uart1 pad, config to serialrx/f.port, no need to to CLI invert...NO SURE if this is f.port cause there are on 2 telem sensors just like the Sbus setup...just RSSI and RXbat...??
The RC pad is a receive pad, so if you run FPort on it, you will not get telemetry. You need to run FPort on a TX pad in order to get both control and telemetry.
@@JoshuaBardwell .. Ok TY. I set up another quad on the R9 mini ...this time a kakute F4 V2...wired to "SP" pad and I got legit f.port...like 11 sensors come up...Thx.
Thanks Josh, was stuck for a while with a R-SXR on a babyhawk r pro. FC wasn't like anything in the manual and (Mini Magnum F4 v2 lite? ) I couldn't find any open pads for smartport, but fport is working on sbus wire. Awesome videos!! Thanks again.
The Lumenier F4 AIO has a dedicated SBUS pad and a dedicated RSSI pad along side tx/rx3 and tx/rx6... how would I wire the R-XSR to this flight controller. I can’t seem to find any information on this board other than vague standard specs. Thanks in advance anyone...
dear sir; i intend to use kakute f7 and smartport telemetry on ardu pilot. so, smartport wire my xsr receiver to T6 and sbus to T4. serial 6 : 57600 baud, option 7, prot.10. i updated the xsr, it didn't work. it's not working, i'm using yaapu script , any idea ? thanks.
@Joshua Bardwell Any chance you can further assist. I've soldered in my r9 mini. Fport,ground,voltage. I've bound the receiver (xlite). Configured SBUS with FPORT in betaflight. (Latest version to date uploaded). I tested the CLI commands but I'm still not receiving anything from the transmitter. CLRACINGF4
To use FPort with CLRacing F4, you will need the Smartport wire connected to the T pad on the FC. I'm not sure but you may also need to type "set tlm_halfduplex=off" then "save" in the CLI. You say "configured SBUS with FPort" in betaflight. I don't really understand what that means though. Did you enable serial RX on UART 3?
and i think it's time for the praises and humble wow's... i'm new to it in the sense i started collecting stuff about 4 year ago, but only flew anything of last year, well.. a phantom, then an ultra lite m515, the phantom isnt really flying is it? lol. any way, i always seemed to end up back at your you tube channel, anything i learned i found here or i learned it first here, nice one. At first euwww i cringed 'your gunna learn something' and clicked on by that stage lol! but yeh i did! and thank you... please keep it up.(awww yu grew on me lol)
Hello all I wonder if you could help me I’m trying to set up a frsky r9 mm on flex firmware on to a vortex 250 pro I’ve updated all osd and fc firmware but still can’t get it working. can it be done?
The R9MM outputs regular SBUS so that should be doable. But I wonder... does the Vortex 250 Pro come pre-wired for a PPM receiver? I think this video might help: ruclips.net/video/N7FPIOBcrtM/видео.html
Joshua Bardwell thank you for reply so quickly so I can see I’m using the wrong port so on the r9 mm am I using the s-port as sbus or am I using the other pins, sorry for the noob questions I’m still learning
Hi Joshua, I flashed the fport firmware on my r-xsr , when I went to bind it to my qx7, the red green and blue light turn solid . And when I turn all of them off and back on it is not bound. And I get the solid blue and blinking red.. this is my first build.(rotor riot budget build). Any advice would be rad. Thanks dude
So I switched out the rxsr for an xm + and it bound just fine... So I believe I got the binding process down... It's just when I try and bind the rxsr it never seems to bind ..all LEDs just stay solid...could there be a firmware conflict... I have the newest accst fcc firmware on radio and newst f port firmware fcc for rxsr... I tried moving the radio away from the reciever while binding..iv waited a significant amount of time... Any tips or tricks I could do let me know .. if not no worries dude I'll snag another rxsr and try again... Thanks for the reply so fast... I dig your work . Really rad stuff
hi. just brought a taranis x9d plus and when im trying to bind any receiver on the transmitter nothings happening. no chirping from the x9d plus when i click on bind. need help or is it broken firmware v2.2.2
@@lililililililili8667 On f-port or s-bus? Almost all the race pilots I fly with have crossfire for low latency. I am looking for those official latency numbers and see if it is worth buying crossfire or r9m for my taranis. I have x4 rsx-r on my race quads and want to know if f-port is worth it?
Hey Joshua do you think it's possible use an r-xsr with fport firmware a gps and a tramp with telemetry with a mamba f405 flight controller? Great video, I learned something today, thanks!
You would need three UARTs for that. The Tramp Telemetry could be handled with softserial so only 2 hardware UARTs needed. The FPort requires a hardware inverter or you can use the RXSR P pad which outputs inverted smartport. I think probably it can be done.
Hi JB! I'm struggling with getting fport working on kingkong f4(tower) with r-xsr. For now I'm getting all channels working, but having only rssi and rxbat in sensors list. Tried all CLI tweaks. Soldered on uninverted s port pad. Tried again. No changes. Also need to say I put this wire on rx receiver pin on fx, and then remapped it to a tx6. So question is: Will channels work if there is some issue with wiring or resource mapping? In other words: Does my situation means I did it right (I mean soldering and setting up) or it's completely wrong and I should look for another pin on fc?
If you are using the "uninvert hack" then I suggest you skip remapping, which can cause complications. Use any TX pad. Make sure to go into the CLI and type set tlm_inverted = on set serialrx_inverted = on save
@@JoshuaBardwell ok. But what you say about rc channels working fine ? Also I have a strange thing : few things mapped on C07...How can it be ? There was a pwm4,serial_rx and serial_tx on C07
"resource" shows what MIGHT be on a pin. "resource list" shows what IS RIGHT NOW using a pin. So in "resource" you might have multiple resources on the same pin but "resource list" should only show one. RC Channels working fine could be because of uni-directional inverter on the pin.
Joshua Bardwell thanks! That’s very useful knowledge! For now hooked up to uart3 due to vtx dont use it( but awkardly connects to it via stack connector🤪) and it’s all working! Soon i may be will try again to use previous port, checking it with proper command
ruclips.net/video/ZyKgBS9wmuc/видео.html I am confused because it sounds like the benefit of F.port is to take the S.bus control signal + the S.port telemetry signal, combine to a single multipurpose wire and place onto 1 single uart pad. Is this correct? Thanks
Anyone know? Sorry I'm completely new to this but I rewached this vid and I must be missing something - feel like @Frank Sura has answered wrong and thrown me down the wrong path here. Sorry to sound argumentative. Thanks any info
@@anashbear2608 You probably figured this out already. But... for anyone else (like me a few days ago) scouring the comments for this very answer. Yes, you can remove the SBUS wire. It becomes redundant and can be removed. JB was just didn't bother to take it off his existing build. It won't hurt anything to leave it there. If it is a new build, don't bother putting it in. You just need the three wires +ve, -ve, s-port.
Hi J.B. is there a way to use the inverted sbus signal pad with inverted s port? I tried a few months back on a hglrc xjb f440 with the rxsr. there is a uninverted signal pad on the bottom near the plug but I don't have any other uart available. i depin the sbus wire and pinned it to the s port wire. via the plug which is inverted. thanks in advance I tried the both cli commands and and all 4 combinations to no avail. Maybe the sbus pad does not work as tx pad as far as software is concerned?
No, that's not going to work I don't think. If you do the uninvert hack, you must connect to an uninverted UART. If you connect to an inverted UART (like the smartport pad), you must send an inverted signal.
Joshua Bardwell ok, thanks for your reply hopefully new fc boards gives us more than 3 uarts... To bad reciever UART isn't available for us users that use crfs. So theoretically I could use smart port tlm on that pad but wouldn't it need a Rx pad? Thanks for educational videos man keep it up 👍
JB; as you probably have seen. I had struggled this entire weekend trying to get the receiver configured. UGH! Even went out and purchased another RX thinking mine was AFU! This video solved my issue. Thank you so much! Now, I can call PriroFlipRC and tell them to cancel my order. Nah! I'll have a receiver to give to someone when they need one. I was given a whole bunch of free GOOD advice when I started. It's the least I can do to help another individual just starting out.
I'm trying to use a Jumper R8II controller (which is like the R8 but has a duplex pin for RX/TX, plus Sbus RX port) to make LUA telemetry work on my TX16s.
Can I do this same thing using Mission Planner? I can't get betaflight connected to my PX4.
YES the intro is back, I'm so happy.
On your other F-port video you said you only need 3 wires from rxsr, how come here at 3:05 it shows you have 4 wires, the green still being connected to the sbus pad. I'm trying to connect an RSXR to a Talon F7, I can get my QX7 to bind to rx, but I can't get any stick inputs through betaflight and getting an RX_Failsafe error. Using Tx4 as my fport . Thanks for the video though it still helped answer a few other questions.
I left it connected since there was not benefit to removing it. I was originally running SBUS and it was required.
Joshua Bardwell, thank you sooo much for the quick response! i found my problem, must have read pinout wrong, but had signal wire connected to TX1 not TX4. Btw. since the quarantine, catching up on quad repairs, my newly made JB smoke stopper saved two different quads from magic smoke. Thanks again!!
Holy moly, opentx looks so complicated, each time you are trying to setup anything. So Many menues and setup options
I guess that's the price for a massive, powerful, feature loaded piece of software that can run on even very simple (and cheap) electronics and can be controlled by just 6 buttons. When I got my Taranis I tried to not change anything that I had no clue of... that worked well for me.
Canb we get rssi to osd with f.port?
On the New Mamba F411 AIO 25A ESC, they have both, RC tx pad and Inverted pad(s.port) on UART 1. Do I have to desolder the RC signal for f port to work?
I have an x-lite running opentx 2.2.4 and a crazybee F4 board trying to add an R-XSR. I can bind and fly the quad using sbus with the rxsr firmware 191112, but when I flash the fport firmware 191128 I can bind but I can't get activity in the receivers tab. I'm using the "inverted" pad on the R-XSR and set serial inverted off as well as half duplex on. Telemetry is turned on in betaflight as well as fport is selected as the protocol. Not sure if i'm missing something...
Bought some R-XSR last week, this "HOW TO" video is on point ! :D
Quick tip I love: long press on page button moves backward in the menus. So telemetry screen is easily accessible after short pressing menu then long pressing page. :)
I wonder if Joshua or anybody else can help. My new Archer GR8 receiver does not allow me to plug a sensor using the standard servo plug anymore. I had it working with the pre-ACCESS RX8R Pro as the Smart Port plug was for standard servo plugs. Do I have to use that new 4-pins F.Port connection now? If so, I guess I need to change the plug on the sensor side. Just a bit unsure, as it is, as usual, difficult to get clear info from FrSky. Any help is highly appreciated.
thx for the video. for anyone that this doesn't work. if you dont have a telem/sp labled pad and using a generic uart, make sure you're on the TX pad and not RX. If you are using an rxsr and a generic tx pad you will need to use the uninverted p pad on the rxsr to get telemetry to work
It's still not working for me on HGLRC XJB F428. I've tried all 4 combinations for inverted/half duplex as well as inverted and un-inverted hacks...No change. Not receiving any stick input on BF 3.3.2
Nevin, i had the same problem, you have to disable serial on the sbus ,
Thank you Joshua from the past. This video saved me a lot of time.
worked! had to try each serial Rx for all UART ports until i got live receiver values in betaflight !
Hello sir I bought a super viper I have a controller fsi6 and a gyro reflex v2 for some reason I don’t know how to make the gyro (reflex v2) put in safe mode.
I have the safe mode options in my remote (fsi6) but the gyro will still led flash instead of bing just on (safe gyro)
Also I didn’t connect any ibus pmm
Just the servos the reciver is a fs ia6b
Is it why I can’t turn it on?
Because I didn’t connect the ibus ?

Hi Joshua , I just try it on F745 contoller and R9 slim+ OTA , i flash FCC fport , i get telemetry RSSI , and reciever bound ok but it is not responding to X7 transmitter i change TX2 to TX3 I try all CLI serialrx_ half and all others but
?????? please help
Have you ever seen where the Receiver tab isn't live but stutters? First time ever I have seen this. Just flashed my XSR to FPort since I needed to update it anyway. previous was SBus and I didn't see the issue then. Going to try and go back to see if it helps. Doesn't help I am on a Matek F405 AIO
Went back to SBus and SmartPort config = back to normal. Not too bad because I was already wired this way.
I have f port working soldered on the pad on r-xsr and have serial rx UART 1 and connect that wire to sbus on mamba f405 mini. In your reciever tab you have telemetry set to aux 3. It's that because you're using uart3 or... What? I don't know what to set that aux to. I have an x-lite so I need to do something with that? I get rssi and vbat but don't know if I'm missing something out...? I also did nothing with inversion. I have no clue about that. It works and flies so it didn't fry anything...
If you are using FPort, don't wire to the SBUS pad on the FC. Wire to the SmartPort pad.
@@JoshuaBardwellThanks for the reply. On the mini mamba or any other f4 fc I've come across there's never been a pinout titled 'smartbus' so I guess I'm not understanding it. In the ports tab I need to select and solder to the corresponding UART port and just select serial rx. And not select smartport on that selected port. Currently it's working as far as I can tell going through sbus. It flies and I have telemetry. Is betaflight not telling the fc that the sbus port is being used as fport in the configuration tab? goo.gl/images/qbJqnP
Can I connect the Fport from a R9mini to the SBUS pat on a f4? Both are inverted, so it should work?
Okay maybe dumb question, but I'm very new...
Inverted TX pat is not = RX pat?
So there are 4 option
Tx inverted/uninverted
Rx inverted/uninverted
I have an old DYS f4 AIO with just an SBUS pat... so it won't work with Fport?
So I just did the fport conversion on my Matek-f405 with my r-xsr on urat 2, the S Bus pad. I'm running inav and everything seems to be working except telemetry I'm only getting the r-xsr telemetry. My taranis is only running open TX 2.1.8 I'm guessing that this is the problem but I'm leery to upgrade to open TX 2.2 when previously updating my radio open TX prompted me to update my internal module and then bricked it and I had to replace it.
Hmm, this is cool. Joshua, please keep these great videos coming!
I just did added SmartPort capability on a Flycolor S-Tower (F3), using Pin 6 of the PWM (10-Pin) connector to a FrSky XSR. Supposedly on this FC, if you use the supplied SmartPort pad, it's shared with the USB bus and complications ensue using them simultaneously, so better to use a free TX pin and SoftSerial.
I'll have to try this F.Port mod soon, but since everything is working now, I'll wait. ;)
Thanks for the great videos. I am using Inav 7.1.2, Frsky R-XSR with firmware Accst 2.1.1 Fport LBT (for Europe). My transmitter is the Radiomaster Zorro with 4 in 1 internal module. The Smart port (S Port) I am using to connect to the Speedybee F405 WING MINI is the uninverted S Port pad (letter P with bar on it) on the Frsky R-XSR. The ground, +, uninverted S Port from R-XSR all connected to the port listed as the TELEMETRY port with the GH 1.25 6 Pin connector (wire and connector was not included with my SpeedyBee F405WING MINI). The uninverted S Port from the Frsky Rxsr is connected t 0:15 o the TX2. Other than TX2 to uninverted SPort, + and ground there is nothing else connected, so the sbus cable from the receiver is not connected. On Inav it is not necessary to use the Soft Serial mode. On Inav: Ports section; Uart2 Serial RX is selected, on Configuration; Enable CPU based serial is NOT selected, Gps for telemetry and Telemetry output are selected, on Receiver section of Inav; Receiver type is Serial, Serial Receiver provider is FPORT, Serial port inverted is On and Serial Receiver half-duplex is set to Auto. I am receiving all telemetry just fine on the transmitter. PLEASE NOTE: SPEEDYBEE WEB SITE as of the date of this comment has the GH 1.25mm 6P connector listed upside down. In other words where it says 4v5 is actually the ground and where it says ground is the 4v5. The small brochure that came with the f405wing mini is correct but the web site is wrong as of the date of this comment so please pay special attention as this also changes the actual location of the TX2 pin.
Hi joshua
Jumper r1 f-port receiver fault as on most i have seen online when binding both lights light up but you have green led on outer edge of board and red on inner which flashes in bind mode and green goes solid after power cycle
the receiver i have was got last week and when i put in bind mode red is on outer edge of board and green on inner when binding green light flashes and after power cycle red light goes solid it seems to be connected
Another point was to get it to bind i had to change RF fine tune freq to -15 it will not bind at RF fine freq at 0 should i trust this receiver i have heard of other people having problems with bind procedures on this reciver
Needing to frequency fine tune is normal for the multiprotocol module. You can find a tutorial on how to do it on Grayson Hobby youtube channel.
Flashed my rxsr and my qx7s accst. Works for that particular drone, but now none of my other drones will bind to that transmitter. They are all xm+ and a Mobula 6. What do I do to get them to work again?

Hahaha. Subjected to watching videos while I'm saving for my new build. Yes, I lost my 1st one. I think someone snagged it faster than I could get over to where it went down. But in my setup, I was having trouble with the telemetry. It kinda worked. This explains what I did wrong and how to set it up correctly. Thanks JB! Hense "FPV knowitall". Title well earned.
Can't get the Lua working on fport. I'm also only got rssi and rxbt
Go to telemetry screen in the Taranis and "discover new sensors".
@@JoshuaBardwell I already did that. But I use fport for a reason. The reason is that the normal sbus doesn't work anymore. Also I wired the fport to the SBus pad on my F4 so that could be the problem

Make sure to enable telemetry feature in the configuration tab.
@@JoshuaBardwell i have Joshua. In Bf 4.0 it works, on Bf 4.1 not 🤔
When I got my X4RSB I was looking into using Fport because I have an F4 but I found the uninvert hack less of a hassle than flashing new firmware to the receiver.
Mamba Mini (F4) and F.Port seems to be a miss. R9MM inverted s.port pad to FC TX6 pad doesn't want to send telemetry despite CLI tweaks and R9MM being flashed and Set in telemetry modes. Radio link works and it discovers all senors, not no current draw updates, been trying to not figuring it out so far..
If sensors are discovered but current does not update then it sounds like telemetry is working but current sensing is not. Go to power and battery tab and make sure current sensor is set correctly. Make sure the osd shows current flowing.
@@JoshuaBardwell Thanks for your help, you were right! The telemetry was coming through okay, I mistook the lack of current sensor updates as an f.port tele issue but in fact it was the BF power and battery tab configuration that needed some tweaks. All working now, thanks again!
my sbus stop working when i tryed it only will work on ppm i tryed to even use sbus wich diff reciver not even f port just at less work it was just fine be for this
So, you don't have to select the telemetry option for your uart in the ports tab? Is that done automatically?
Correct.
@@JoshuaBardwell Thank you sir!
hi JB, what I'm missing. I have no telemetry apart from RxBt and RSSI after Discover new sensors. I've installed an R9 MM with latest firm FLEX_20190201. and OpenTx 2.2.3 on my Taranis Qx7. The channels are working great. The problem is the lack of sensors in the telemetry
It means that SmartPort is not working. Did you use the FPort firmware or the regular firmware?
Thank you for your fast answer. I have flashed FLEX_20190201 on R9 MM and R9M_FLEX in the TX module (Taranis QX7). My FC is a HAKRC Flying F4 v3. I have telemetry selected in BF. I don't have UART selected because I'm using F.port. Is it necessary to assign UART with F.PORT? I'm using the S.PORT/F.POT pin on R9 MM.
Hey everybody :) I followed everything in the video, but it still does not work. The weird thing is: it is not saying "no telemetry" when i enter the telemetry tab in the taranis qx7...
Does anybody have a solution?
So I’m wondering should I try to reflash the rxsr receivers or should I update the firmware on my x lite radio And see if that helps me connect and get good signal out of the receivers
Have never got telemetry to work on a F4 with a FrSky XRS. Have tried on a CLRacing F4S and RTFQ Freestyle F4. Considering changing this Quad to a Omnibus F3 which I have working a few older quads. Will try this f port first, thanks for this video.
I was able to get Fport working on my Matek F405 Std with a R-xsr receiver. But, my telemetry is not coming over to my Taranis. Any thoughts? I have deleted the stock 2 that come normally then Tried to discover the rest. It failed. Still back to my stock 2.
Try changing tlm_halfduplex in the CLI
@@JoshuaBardwell It was "on" and I changed it to "off". No Go. I also tried to rebound the receiver. That didn't work either. I am wondering if TX3 is capable of bidirectional signals?
So with a R9 slim+ the s-port/f-port wire goes to the ‘T’ pad on the JBF4 and the SBus out would go to the ‘S’ pad?
Thanks
Correct.
@@JoshuaBardwell Thank you sir. I'm off to break a quad. :-)
Is there any drawback for using this like increase of latency since now 2 types of signals are being communicated with the same wire? This seems just too good to be true?
Actually, Fport has lower latency than SBUS.
Hi Josh, I have an r9mm receiver updated firmware to fport, that is bound to my taranis /r9m module also updated firmware, and feeding back rssi telemetry to the radio so I know that connection is good. fport/ smartport wire soldered to tx1, ports page, uart 1 set to serial, tried all variables of the command line on/off. Still not working on the bf reciever page. Any ideas?
If you are using the R9MM then you should connect the un-inverted SmartPort wire to any UART TX pad, then in the CLI type "set serialrx_inverted=on" then "save". If this doesn't work, type "get serialrx_halfduplex" and if it's on, turn it off, and if it's off, turn it on.
If that doesn't work, use a different UART TX pad and see if that works.
@@JoshuaBardwell thanks for the reply. Figured it out last night. I didnt realize the r9mm had an uninverted pin.
Got telemetry working with FPort firmware, but still no rx movement. Noticed that the firmware for the XRS is a beta version. Maybe that the problem.
Try serialrx_halfduplex in the CLI?
So are you using F Port on all of your personal models? I ask as I'd imagine that it essentially halves your input signals now. Is that right? Or am I looking at it wrong?
Hi how are you?
Please let me know if possible where I can decrease the "refresh" time of telemetry in frsky taranis x9 lite?
I don't think that's possible.
@@JoshuaBardwell thanks!
R9MM should be currently F_PORT enabled right? And the pin should be the same for S_PORT... (trying to understand how to wire it up on my Matek F405-CTR)
You can do exactly as you see here with R9MM. It does support FPort. The main advantage of R9MM is that it also has an inverted S.Port pin if your FC doesn't have an inverted UART for SmartPort or FPort. If you use the inverted S.Port pin you must go into the CLI and type
set serialrx_inverted=on (if you are using FPort)
set tlm_inverted=on (if you are using SmartPort)
save
@@JoshuaBardwell thanks a lot for your reply. Unfortunately I've got a quite bigger problem... I've bought a Jumper T12 basically for the form factor since my FPV backpack is not that big.
In order to make long range (as an upgrade for my Flysky FS-i6) I've also bought a Frsky module R9M plus R9MM receivers.
When I go through the binding procedure, if I select and execute the "Bnd" command (page 2 of model pages) it does not blink or make any sound either...
Really don't know what to do since if I use the crappy multimodule shipped with the T12 itself, binding command does work correctly (blinking and beeping while looking for a receiver).
Thanks again anyway, cheers.
Hey Dudu ! I dont know what Can i do ? I have the mamba f4 mk2 Stack with the 40a esc with the crossfire nano ! In the Description is that i Connect the Tbs Nano to rx6 and tx6 ! My taranis is Connect with the Nano but i dont know how can i get the uart or get the Signal to betaglight! Can you give me please a tip how Can i realise or fix it ? Regards from Germany
Make sure you connected TX to RX and RX to TX between the Nano and the FC. A lot of people get the wires backwards.
Enable Serial RX on UART 6 in the Ports tab
In the Configuration tab set serial receiver protocol = CRSF
I found a R9MM, flashed the firmware R9Mini_FCC_Fport.frk, and connected the Inverted SPort to TX1 on a new F411-Wing (flashed with the F411 softserial firmware). I set Fport as the serial receiver source in iNav, and now the Taranis X9D works the channels on the Receiver tab in iNav. However, I can't get the telemetry to work.
My R9M is flashed with R9M_FCC.frk, version 20190117. Per the Matek Fport page, I have entered:
set serialrx_provider = FPORT
set serialrx_inverted = ON
set serialrx_halfduplex = ON
Per Oscar Liang, I have also tried turning serialrx_halfduplex off and on again. Same with serialrx_inverted. I have gone to the Taranis telemetry page, deleted all sensors, but when I choose Discover New Sensors, it doesn't find any.
Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Did you enable the Telemetry feature in the Configuration tab?
I finally got it working by going to an earlier version of the F411-WING firmware and trying a newer version of the R9MM firmware. Thanks for your reply!
Hi Joshua.
First of all, I am very grateful for all the work you put into your videos. I gained a lot of useful knowledge from them!
I have a rather unusual problem.
My fc is AIRB/OMNIBUSF4SD(STM32F405) BF version 4.3.2 (it doesn't work at all on other newer BF versions)
Radio X9D+ se, soft RF module XJT_ACCST_2.1.0_FCC
FrSky XSR ACCST receiver (X4RXSR_ACCST_2.1.0_Fport_FCC) s.port not modified, connected to FC on a dedicated s.Bus pad.
The controls in the receiver tab work (sliders move) but telemetry does not work.
As for CLI, I checked all configurations.
The set serialrx_inverted option doesn't change anything in my case.
The set serialrx_halfduplex option must be set to OFF for the control to work.
I'm at a loss because before updating to the latest BF version, everything worked fine, I had all the telemetry (it worked normally on software 3.2.2).
I will be grateful for any help :]
Regards !
How are the stock antennas on R-XSR? Is it a good idea to straight up just strip them to 33mm instead of leaving them however short they come out of the box?

Hi Josh i can't find a video about Taranis problems on your lists, but here is one for you. My firmware version is 2.2.3 I think that is the latest update. but when I choose new model on the first page I don't get the model type screen. Then in model setup, on model image I get "No bit maps on SD". They are there on the SD when i plug it into my PC. but not showing in Taranis Any ideas
Most likely your SD card needs to be replaced. Especially if it is the original SD card that came with the radio. They are kind of junk.
On the PC, you see the files, but if you try to actually open one does it open?
I can't get my R-XSR to work on my Mamba F722S, I just don't understand... Software is flashed and RX bound, BF is up to date, I tried the 4 cli, inverted hack or not, doesn't work on any of the tx pads
On an F7 processor you don't need to do any inversion hack. SmartPort out (yellow wire) from the RXSR to UART TX on the FC. Serial RX enabled on that UART in the Betaflight Ports tab. Serial receiver protocol set to FPort in the Configuration tab. Then CLI either halfduplex on or off. Do not change the serialrx_inverted option on an F7 you don't need it.
@@JoshuaBardwell Hi Joshua, thanks for the answer! I actually had to reflash my tx without the flex firmware, it made it work instantly....
I don't understand. I've got a Diatone gt-r90 and a frsky R-XSR. Where I've to wire the SBus and s.port from my receiver on my flight controller? Both to the SBus pad on my flightcontroller?
Hey Joshua, I am using your RDQ F4-AIO, and the FrSky R-XSR. I have quadruple check my wiring, and it seems correct for the setup. In Betaflight I have set UART3 with Serial RX on, and UART 1 serial RX disabled. Receiver configuration is set as serial based and FrSky FPort. My XD9+ and the receiver are bound as indicated by the solid green light. On my transmitter my channels are set as AETR, and in the outputs they all put out the correct uS range when going through the throws. My problem is on the Betaflight screen when on and connected, my channels do not move. All channels are at 1500uS except throttle, Aux 13, and Aux 14. I am just coming over to FrSky from Spektrum, so there are quite a few new features to me. I also went through the New Taranis+ setup video to see of I was missing something on my initial radio setup. Edit: Using Betaflight 3.3.2, and configurator 10.2.0
Type SAVE after them commands. I missed that and it drove me nuts why nothing worked.
Also, on my xlite, I don't show the vfas change in display page.
XLite can't show VFAS on the display because it has a smaller display.
Also, be careful not to accidentally enable PPM when first binding your receiver. Otherwise, you gonna have a bad time. On the R-XSR if your inputs do nothing in the receiver tab, check that you a blue led and a green led, both solid.
Dude, THANK YOU, have been troubleshooting for the past two hours trying to get my receiver bars to do something in Betaflight, working great now!
Is that cppm on the receiver? Mines off and I'm still not getting stuck inputs in BF
I tried Fport on a quad a couple months ago. X4RSB rx and Beerotor F4 fc. RSSI displayed really low numbers but the quad flew fine, for a couple minutes, then it just dropped out of the sky. I was only a couple hundred yards away and had been farther.
IMO there is something wrong with your receiver or setup. I don't think FPort should cause failsafes if SBUS does not.
Same for me die you find a solution? My range is low about 200m. The drone droped From Sky. Using fport and Flex Firmware.
@@XPSyan I've used Fport on other receivers and flight controllers and it worked fine. Just that one was a problem.
Hi, quick question if I understood correctly, on f4 like JB AIO, connect the smart port wire after flashing to fport to the T on the f4 board? Thanks !
Yes that's correct
Hello Mr Bardwell I have your first f4 FC and using R XSR f.port. I got f.port to work I had to turn off halfduplex and invert both off. My question is can I use the sbus pad for smart audio sadly I burned off my tx4
SBUS pad is rx. SmartAudio needs TX. That's a no go.
You can use ledstrip remapped to softserial. Instructions are in the Troubleshooting section of the manual.
@@JoshuaBardwell thanks I already used the Led pad for it . I wasn't sure about what the sbus pad was RX OR TX thanks again.
Hello Josh, im new to open tx after yrs of spectrum im trying to get a 5 inch setup qx7 the receiver your using in this video. I have the lux V2 FC. I wired the rec as you described. My problem is i cant get the rec. tab in BF to work. On the lux v2 the serial rx is uart 4 the tx is uart 5 i have the serial turned on uart 4 and in config i have serial rx and sbus on, is that wrong?
Picked up a RXSR - Using an Omnibus F4 V3 - using iNav (uh-oh). The FC does not have an inverted input (SoftSerial) and iNav doe snot let me remap resources. So I figured out where to pickup the non-inverted signal on my RXSR but I fear for the pad's safety since it is so small. Can I jump it to the SBus in (pin 5) and then use that wire out of the connector? Can I use teh SBus out pin to jump to? I like the connector because I can still disonnect and remove if necessary
That's a fine idea but you most cut the original trace going to the pin before you reuse it.
got my r9mm working on s port on an omnibus f4 FC had to use the cli commands. wonderfail range had failsafe at well under 100m
hey, i installed a r xsr with f-port on my hobbywing xrotor g2 stack and the reciveing works fine, but i dont find any sensor more than rssi and rxbt, but in my matek f722 with r xsr and f-port i found 14 sensors. do you have any thoughts what i could have doing wrong?
Can you show me how to do it on Ominbus F4 V2.1 with a R9mini flashed with fport. I don't think it can be done.
Tried to set up the VFAS on my quad home screen page but it’s not an option, how did you do it? Thanks
You have to "discover sensors" in the telemetry screen before you can select them elsewhere.
Will it work with a xm+?
No. There is no FPort firmware for XM+.
Joshua Bardwell mh sad... but thank you soo much! You helped me so many times! w/o I would not have been able to get that damn drone up and running! Thank you
Thanks for the info once again, but im having issues w getting the battery voltage on the Taranis, I dont have a page 13 of 13 (Display) from the PAGE tab to get the voltage to switch over to Vbat instead of Current, i only have 12 of 12.
Joshua if I flash my X4R-SB for F.Port will I still be able to use the original SBUS connection on the end of the receiver for controlling a gimbal for example?
hi joshua when are you gonna build your massive droner, just putting mine togther used airbot ori32 esc emax 1106 4500kv and 4cell and the new ominibus f4 nano v6 i can get 8k/8kl imited by gyro ,are there any 20x20 FC,s that go higher and are there any qurks to tuning a micro quad.
I'm not doing a build but Neil gave me one when I was in Houston and I just got it set up and am going to start flying it.
any perticualr tunning quirks i shoul look for this is my first micro coming off a 5in
Great video. This is super exciting news about Fport. I'll be trying this tonight. Fingers-crossed.
Hey Josh I’ve done everything I know how to the quad And my Rsxr Will bind but will not put out any signal I am running a Kakute f7 stack I have s bus connected to Rx six I have smart port connected to Tx four , I have serial rx 4 in the on position, I have even gone to the command line and did the two changes you suggested and still no signal I have been at this a little over a week I’m just frustrated at this point is there any other help that you could give me. I’ve made all kinds of changes and nothing seems to work
If you are not running the FPort firmware, then the CLI changes I gave in this video will not help. Are you running the FPort or the standard firmware?
You have SBUS connected to RX6. A really common mistake is to use the white wire, which is SBUS IN. Forget that wire. You want the green SBUS OUT wire connected to RX6.
I am running the fport firmware, I just put a different receiver from a different quad that was running S bus and now it works so I’m wondering if I have a batch of bad receivers I’ve tried two different new ones that I bought as a batch of five and I cannot get either of them to work in fport or s bus
And I do have the green wire connected to RX 6
If you're running FPort then the green wire isn't needed. The Yellow wire to TX6 would be my approach. Enable Serial RX on UART 6. Set serial receiver protocol to FPort. Then possibly need to tweak serialrx_halfduplex.
Joshua Bardwell Hey buddy I just wanted to say thank you for the help it’s nice to know that you’re really out there and you did respond, I will try to start using your affiliate link so that I can help you out. Thanks again.FPVforlife....
I've tried this, and it didn't work - my FC has a F-port pad on the and the manual says that the Sbus goes to that pad on the FC. It is Uart5, but regardless, It wont do what you show here. I've tried to use the Inverted Sbus to no avail too. The reciever is a Frsky Archer RS. The FC is a Diatone Mamba F405basicMk3. In my Taranis X9lite I have only 3 sensors in the telemetry tab (shouldnt I have more ?)
For the Archer series of receivers, you switch them between SBUS and FPORT using a menu option in the radio. I don't know off the top of my head exactly where it is. It's in the receiver settings menu somewhere.
You might also need to go to the Betaflight CLI and type
set serialrx_halfduplex=on
save
I've actually just tried to power another RS receiver I had on a 1S battery, and it does the same thing, so there must be something I am missing. I've flashed my X9 L with the latest firmware, and the receiver is also updated (wired style).
Is it possible to wire a Ublox GPS to the same Uart as the smart port wire since they both transmit some kind of information?
No, you cannot have two devices on the same UART.
Is there a way to keep the Jack and avoid to solder on the small uninverted S.Port pad?
Yes. Do just like I showed in the video. Connect the SmartPort wire to the Telemetry pad on your FC. The Telemetry pad will have a bidirectional inverter and Fport will work.
Or if you are using F3 or F7, use any UART TX pad because they can handle inversion no problem.
However, for an F4 board with no telemetry pad, you are stuck.
You would have to cut the trace from the inverter to the jack and solder a bypass wire. Possible, but not at all easy (no instructions given on how to do this - and you cannot just bridge the inverter).
Just saw this question because I may have to do the hack. You may be able to desolder the plug, cut the smartport pin off flush with the plug, resolder the plug to the board, then solder a short jumper wire from the backside of the pin to the P pad. However this may prevent you from flashing firmware since the normal smartport connection is necessary for flashing. Doesn't avoid soldering to the tiny P pad but makes for a cleaner install. A lot of work and better have skills soldering. Lol
Is it possible tu run F.Port on a DALRC F405 AIO?
This board have not a inverted Telemetryport on any TX-Port. The only one inverted port is the SBUS-Pin and they dont work Telemetry but the RX-Signal.
I have flash the F.Port-Firmware on my R-XSR and i use the yellow cable.
You have to use the P pad on the RXSR which outputs uninverted telemetry and fport. Then you can use any UART TX pad on the flight controller. Go to the CLI and type "set serialrx_inverted = on".
OK, thanks for your very quick answer.
But, i let it be so how it is. It was a interesting think to try it again. Now i have flash the RXSR with the FPORT-firmware and i have the same as before on the yellow wire (out of the box this was the SPORT signal and now its the FPORT or the SBUS for me on RX1).
I realy dont need telemetry.
Thanks a lot and happy flying :)
any performance different from ordinary sbus to f.port other than 1 wire bi-directional comm?
I don't think so.
Not working on your Bardwell F4 flight controller. Flashed my XSR with FPort firmware and wired to telemetry pad. Set up a new model on my Taranis.
It definitely works on the JBF4. I did it myself in this video :-)
Did you wire the SBUS wire to the Telemetry pad maybe? FPort uses the SmartPort wire. That's my best guess.
Definitely using FPort wire which is yellow on my XSR.
Thinking of flash back to the regular firmware so I can fly this new build. Doubt the telemetry will work, see my previous comment from 2 months ago.
Thank you Joshua for this video. I'm having an issue. I have FLirt working and seem to have telemetry working "sort of" 😲 Since my craft is down and out awaiting a new FPV camera. I decided to upgrade my TX "SE Plus" to the latest firmware as well and as I stated, everything seemed to work just fine. I was able to see all the lua menu screens and the vtx screen. But now for some reason I get that annoying syntax error / out of memory error just before I get to the vtx settings. Any clue how to fix this.
Thank you in advance for any input.

2020 calling, can we have f-port standard now please.
i can't find any info on how to do it on jumper t16. Is it possible?
I cant seem to setup f.port with the R9 Mini and the Dalrc F405...is it possible? ARGH. Tried the CLI invert and halfduplex. Dalrc F045 seems to have a RSSI/S.PORT pad on TX4...but can't seem to get f.port to work with various combos of setting serialrx in CLI / config/ ports...UPDATE seems like I have f.port. with this setup: R9 Mini f.port wire to "RC" uart1 pad, config to serialrx/f.port, no need to to CLI invert...NO SURE if this is f.port cause there are on 2 telem sensors just like the Sbus setup...just RSSI and RXbat...??
The RC pad is a receive pad, so if you run FPort on it, you will not get telemetry. You need to run FPort on a TX pad in order to get both control and telemetry.
@@JoshuaBardwell .. Ok TY. I set up another quad on the R9 mini ...this time a kakute F4 V2...wired to "SP" pad and I got legit f.port...like 11 sensors come up...Thx.
Thanks Josh, was stuck for a while with a R-SXR on a babyhawk r pro. FC wasn't like anything in the manual and (Mini Magnum F4 v2 lite? ) I couldn't find any open pads for smartport, but fport is working on sbus wire. Awesome videos!! Thanks again.
The Lumenier F4 AIO has a dedicated SBUS pad and a dedicated RSSI pad along side tx/rx3 and tx/rx6... how would I wire the R-XSR to this flight controller. I can’t seem to find any information on this board other than vague standard specs. Thanks in advance anyone...
RXSR goes to the SBUS pad. Green wire is SBUS OUT if my memory serves.
Joshua Bardwell thank you sir
dear sir;
i intend to use kakute f7 and smartport telemetry on ardu pilot.
so, smartport wire my xsr receiver to T6 and sbus to T4.
serial 6 : 57600 baud, option 7, prot.10.
i updated the xsr, it didn't work.
it's not working, i'm using yaapu script , any idea ?
thanks.
@Joshua Bardwell
Any chance you can further assist. I've soldered in my r9 mini. Fport,ground,voltage. I've bound the receiver (xlite). Configured SBUS with FPORT in betaflight. (Latest version to date uploaded). I tested the CLI commands but I'm still not receiving anything from the transmitter. CLRACINGF4
To use FPort with CLRacing F4, you will need the Smartport wire connected to the T pad on the FC. I'm not sure but you may also need to type "set tlm_halfduplex=off" then "save" in the CLI.
You say "configured SBUS with FPort" in betaflight. I don't really understand what that means though.
Did you enable serial RX on UART 3?
i wonder if smart audio works natively with a flysky, pid tuning works and telemetry works without doing anything. apart from connecting v-bat to rx.
Yes, SmartAudio should work too.
thanks it might be handy to change power outputs quickly and easily to avoid cooking itself while waiting for some dog to go away.
hmm i may be slow here but is the marked rssi pad on an F7 suitable for the F port?
No. Use UART tx only.
thanky kindly.
and i think it's time for the praises and humble wow's... i'm new to it in the sense i started collecting stuff about 4 year ago, but only flew anything of last year, well.. a phantom, then an ultra lite m515, the phantom isnt really flying is it? lol. any way, i always seemed to end up back at your you tube channel, anything i learned i found here or i learned it first here, nice one. At first euwww i cringed 'your gunna learn something' and clicked on by that stage lol! but yeh i did! and thank you... please keep it up.(awww yu grew on me lol)
Hello all I wonder if you could help me I’m trying to set up a frsky r9 mm on flex firmware on to a vortex 250 pro I’ve updated all osd and fc firmware but still can’t get it working. can it be done?
The R9MM outputs regular SBUS so that should be doable. But I wonder... does the Vortex 250 Pro come pre-wired for a PPM receiver?
I think this video might help: ruclips.net/video/N7FPIOBcrtM/видео.html
Joshua Bardwell thank you for reply so quickly so I can see I’m using the wrong port so on the r9 mm am I using the s-port as sbus or am I using the other pins, sorry for the noob questions I’m still learning
Hi Joshua, I flashed the fport firmware on my r-xsr , when I went to bind it to my qx7, the red green and blue light turn solid . And when I turn all of them off and back on it is not bound. And I get the solid blue and blinking red.. this is my first build.(rotor riot budget build). Any advice would be rad. Thanks dude
Red and green light solid means the RX is in bind mode.
When binding completes, the red LED flashes.
It sounds like you haven't completed binding.
So I switched out the rxsr for an xm + and it bound just fine... So I believe I got the binding process down... It's just when I try and bind the rxsr it never seems to bind ..all LEDs just stay solid...could there be a firmware conflict... I have the newest accst fcc firmware on radio and newst f port firmware fcc for rxsr... I tried moving the radio away from the reciever while binding..iv waited a significant amount of time... Any tips or tricks I could do let me know .. if not no worries dude I'll snag another rxsr and try again... Thanks for the reply so fast... I dig your work . Really rad stuff
Yes there could be a firmware conflict.
The newest frsky ACCST firmware 2.x is not compatible with older firmware.
hi.
just brought a taranis x9d plus and when im trying to bind any receiver on the transmitter nothings happening. no chirping from the x9d plus when i click on bind. need help or is it broken firmware v2.2.2
Wonder how much effect it has on latency?
suposedly its suposed to be the same latency, around 20ms or so
I'm interested as well. Is there a Latency difference between F-Port an SBUS ?
@@lililililililili8667 On f-port or s-bus? Almost all the race pilots I fly with have crossfire for low latency. I am looking for those official latency numbers and see if it is worth buying crossfire or r9m for my taranis. I have x4 rsx-r on my race quads and want to know if f-port is worth it?
Thx. for sharing great inf. but i just wanna know does it make the latency slower than before? If it is not, this is pretty much cool!
It's supposedly a little slower than S.Bus but most people probably won't notice.
is it still worth it to use f.port nowadays ? I still see everyone using sbus on betaflight
Hey Joshua do you think it's possible use an r-xsr with fport firmware a gps and a tramp with telemetry with a mamba f405 flight controller? Great video, I learned something today, thanks!
You would need three UARTs for that. The Tramp Telemetry could be handled with softserial so only 2 hardware UARTs needed. The FPort requires a hardware inverter or you can use the RXSR P pad which outputs inverted smartport. I think probably it can be done.
Hi JB!
I'm struggling with getting fport working on kingkong f4(tower) with r-xsr. For now I'm getting all channels working, but having only rssi and rxbat in sensors list. Tried all CLI tweaks. Soldered on uninverted s port pad. Tried again. No changes. Also need to say I put this wire on rx receiver pin on fx, and then remapped it to a tx6.
So question is:
Will channels work if there is some issue with wiring or resource mapping? In other words: Does my situation means I did it right (I mean soldering and setting up) or it's completely wrong and I should look for another pin on fc?
If you are using the "uninvert hack" then I suggest you skip remapping, which can cause complications. Use any TX pad. Make sure to go into the CLI and type
set tlm_inverted = on
set serialrx_inverted = on
save
@@JoshuaBardwell ok. But what you say about rc channels working fine ?
Also I have a strange thing : few things mapped on C07...How can it be ? There was a pwm4,serial_rx and serial_tx on C07
"resource" shows what MIGHT be on a pin.
"resource list" shows what IS RIGHT NOW using a pin.
So in "resource" you might have multiple resources on the same pin but "resource list" should only show one.
RC Channels working fine could be because of uni-directional inverter on the pin.
Joshua Bardwell thanks! That’s very useful knowledge! For now hooked up to uart3 due to vtx dont use it( but awkardly connects to it via stack connector🤪) and it’s all working! Soon i may be will try again to use previous port, checking it with proper command
set serialrx_halfduplex = OFF got rx to work.
set tlm_inverted = OFF
Set tlm_halfduplex = OFF
got telemetry to work.
Thanks JB
Glad you got it working!
Sorry if this sounds stupid, but in this example, did the S.Bus (green wire), become redundant / removable? Thanks!
No
ruclips.net/video/ZyKgBS9wmuc/видео.html I am confused because it sounds like the benefit of F.port is to take the S.bus control signal + the S.port telemetry signal, combine to a single multipurpose wire and place onto 1 single uart pad. Is this correct? Thanks
Anyone know? Sorry I'm completely new to this but I rewached this vid and I must be missing something - feel like @Frank Sura has answered wrong and thrown me down the wrong path here. Sorry to sound argumentative.
Thanks any info
@@anashbear2608 You probably figured this out already. But... for anyone else (like me a few days ago) scouring the comments for this very answer. Yes, you can remove the SBUS wire. It becomes redundant and can be removed. JB was just didn't bother to take it off his existing build. It won't hurt anything to leave it there. If it is a new build, don't bother putting it in. You just need the three wires +ve, -ve, s-port.
Hi J.B. is there a way to use the inverted sbus signal pad with inverted s port? I tried a few months back on a hglrc xjb f440 with the rxsr. there is a uninverted signal pad on the bottom near the plug but I don't have any other uart available. i depin the sbus wire and pinned it to the s port wire. via the plug which is inverted. thanks in advance I tried the both cli commands and and all 4 combinations to no avail. Maybe the sbus pad does not work as tx pad as far as software is concerned?
No, that's not going to work I don't think. If you do the uninvert hack, you must connect to an uninverted UART. If you connect to an inverted UART (like the smartport pad), you must send an inverted signal.
Joshua Bardwell ok, thanks for your reply hopefully new fc boards gives us more than 3 uarts... To bad reciever UART isn't available for us users that use crfs. So theoretically I could use smart port tlm on that pad but wouldn't it need a Rx pad? Thanks for educational videos man keep it up 👍
