    Getting my first Taranis this week, usually use Futaba.
    This series is going to be soooooooo useful.
    Big thanks for doing it,
    Enjoy your weekend, Steve

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  6 лет назад

      You too! It's a bit tricky to start with as there are a few concepts that may be new to you coming from Futaba. Once you've got those mastered then this radio can do pretty much ANYTHING! :D

    Thanks - you saved hours of work for me. I have the newer version of the Taranis X7 but this got me through some steps with ease. Great video, very instructive, easy to follow and understand. I will watch all of them now. Very cool.

    Another needle in the haystack found.
    Learned that
    * Taranis X9D plus with open TX seems to be a might tool
    * channels have to be told on which output or set of outputs they should be executed
    * channels are not autorealted or autoconnected ...
    Still a long way to go but it looks promising cause I can follow the steps even 4 years later on my desk in my test environment.
    Really great solution that you planned a series put in a playlist to start with and later add pieces that might have been missing like Startup Screen. Try to follow this playlist the next week to get on with it from the scratch to be able to use it in my flite test sea otter plane I am working on ...
    Thanks a lot for your skillfull planning and efforts like that in the input - output slide or the reduction of the 12 steps or pages to the real ones needed.

    You really have to thank Frsky (and OpenTX) for what they are doing. I've had the "pleasure" to use radios of the established brands (Graupner HOTT and some Spektrum). As a programmer and hobby electronics engineer I always felt like their products were either designed by guys with long grey beards, who didn't want to change anything from the "old ways", or artificially crippled and overpriced. All of the radios already had a capable microcontroller inside and a large dotmatrix display, so there was absolutely no reason for the limitations the had, except maybe for the lack of competition.

  • @missionbowman
    @missionbowman 7 лет назад

    I found that I had to leave the D16 setting to bind the X4R. But apart from that thanks for all your excellent videos! You are my number 1 go-to guy for all things 3 axis and drones. Thanks

  • @blackmennewstyle
    @blackmennewstyle 9 лет назад

    Thank you so much Lee :)
    That is actually less complicated than everything i've heard from most of people. But they maybe used the old version of the software at this time. If you are familiar with playing around with your radio control, this is just a piece of cake, just need to learn and understanding everything about different pages!
    That's a brilliant radio and fantastic software! It's probably the best thing which is happened to the RC hobby these last few years!
    Have a great weekend

I've upgraded my Firmware on my New TX.., Created a model, imported my models Pic via bmp (cos' there wasn't any...) and then Bitchin' Betty said my TX battery is low... waiting for that to charge atm...then it'll be all steam ahead again! Thankyou!! again! subbed!!

    Thanks to you, what could have been a very Painful experience has not been so far!!
    I thought the transition from the Open 9X on the TG9X would be plain sailing...not so. A completely different mindset!
    By the way I think you ought to mention in the channel setup video, that with the APM and Pixhawk, the channel order has to be AETR!
    Great videos. Thanks.

    I have a Spektrum DX6 G2 2014 AirRadio,
    The new Airwave on this is like the DX9 and allows assigning the 4 axis inputs and any switch to any output channels, including mapping one input to multiple channels or mapping switches to any channel can be done from the Channel Assign menu in the System settings.
    You can also set the channel mixing value for each switch position with a value from -150% to 150% in the Digital Switch menu in the system setting as well.

    The Version 2 firmware needs to be downloaded on the NIB Taranis I bought three years ago. The wizard is great. I may actually use the Taranis I bought, attempted to program, but decided I wanted to fly, not learn to program my transmitter. I have subscribed and will review how to update the firmware.

    FYI everybody. using a V8R4-II receiver, you need to install a bind plug connected to signal pins on receiver between channels 1 & 2. for the bind to work.

    I have a question.
    I do not bind my Taranis with the Rx yet. I notice when I move throttle the throttle scale on the 'Mixer' page is not moving in the same degree as the 'Input' page. So I tried changing the source of 'Throttle Mixer' to be 'Throttle stick' in stead of 'Throttle Input'. Then the scale move in the exactly same degree. My question is 'Is it OK to choose 'Stick' as the source for the 'Mixer'?

    • @Painless360

  • @JakeWardell
    @JakeWardell 9 лет назад

    I have a brand new Taranis Plus and X8R receiver, I cannot get it to bind at all.... I sent the rx back and had it replaced. still doesnt work... I have tried all the modes and it still will not work... I have the latest firmware on it and it still doesnt. When binding, the 2 LEDs stay solid. when im not binding its a slow red flash... Can you help me?... I havent used the dang thing yet...

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  9 лет назад

      JakeWardell 19 Make sure you have the D18 protocol selected (just above the bind selection on the radio) and it will burst into life!
      Best of luck

    • @JakeWardell
      @JakeWardell 9 лет назад

      Painless360​ it's currently D16, ch1-8 receiver number 1. Still nothing. Even tried to make a new model...

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  9 лет назад

      Odd, make sure then that D16 is selected, the radio is in bind mode and bleeping, hold the FS button on the Rx and apply power. Nothing will beep to let you know it's working though..
      Unplug the Rx and take the radio out of bind mode and re-plus the Rx into power - it should green LED in a second..
      Is this the process you are following?

    • @JakeWardell
      @JakeWardell 9 лет назад

      Yeah that's what I've been doing. Over and over again. Different models too.

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  9 лет назад

      Sounds like something is broken. The antenna connection at the top of the main circuit board can come loose in transit. Worth a check if you don't want to go back to the vendor for support..
      Best of luck.

  • @jjssbailey
    @jjssbailey 9 лет назад

    Painless360, is there any rhyme or reason to correlate the Weight and Offset in Mixes to the PWM of the APM2.6 mode selection.

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  9 лет назад

      John Bailey Wow! Great timing. I've just figured this all out for the Pixhawk series on the channel. A new Taranis video for the 6 position switch (and it's use with the modes in Mission Planner) is uploading as I type. It includes the magic percentage channel numbers to drop the PWM value of the mode channel into the middle of each of the six modes. You can also use these same values with a logical switch setup too.
      If you watch that video it will give you the answer! ;)

    Hello, I have just started flying fixed wing again with my Taranis X9D Plus, downloaded the latest version of open TX 2.3. Updated the firmware on TX, with the Non EU version, the receiver has been flashed with the Non EU version firmware. The receiver binds ok with the TX, but nothing happens when any of the sticks or switches try to move the servos. Stupidly, I forgot to backup the setting on my TX. What could be causing this problem. I have been at this for 2 days now and I cant get the servos to work. I really would appreciate your help if you can.

      @@Painless360 The RX has a solid green light on it. I followed your first video on the Taranis, updating the firmware, obviously the latest version of the firmware is not the same as the one in your video but it seemed to go through ok when the TX was connected to the PC. Im totally stumped as to why now, the servos do not operate.
      Is there a way to factory reset the TX.

    • @Micky6strings62
      @Micky6strings62 18 дней назад

      just as a follow up, opentx firmware version 2.3.15 is what I now have on the TX. On the Frsky website, they have updated firmware called FIRMWARE - RADIO OS, and FIRMWARE - XJT RF Module. Which of these should be installed on the TX, as they both seem to be able to be installed, and do they overwrite the open TX firmware. Thanks for your help on this, and I fully understand if you do not wish to advise.

    Hi Painless 360
    Great vids and GREAT work mate. It has cleared a lot of confusions which I got by watching various other u-tube. You've changed your vids slightly tho .. your into in part 1 was ~50 min. I can't see it any more. You've updated obviously but why not name them differently so that people will have chance to see your old version, if that's what s/he is used to. Just a suggestion. Cheers - CurrentDude

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  9 лет назад

      +CurrentDude Hi, not sure what you mean as all of the videos are here in the playlist. I've never made a video of about 50 mins. The maximum length we use on the channel is well under 30 mins. Are you sure it was one of ours? Happy flying!

    • @TheRunway022
      @TheRunway022 9 лет назад

      +Painless360 Thanx for your reply. I came across your vid purely by chance when I was looking at YT for some other reason. The site I marked was
      ruclips.net/video/azs1wmr4c7wT/видео.htmlhis site was for 50 min and after watching for 10 min I realised you had presented it in the way that I was looking for. So I watched it for about 10 min and added in my list of vid to watch. This morning when I clicked on the site , the part 2 of the vid came up. This disappointed me but never the less I watched it and found that some of the presentation was different. Anyhow, nothing is lost, the basic info is still there so I'm watching it again/.It's very strange that I saw the first vid clearly stated as ~50 min. We'll never know the truth. or the mistry.
      I came across Taranis some two years ago when an US girl mention this in RC Groups. Last year I purchased Taranis 9 plus. A friend of mine swears by it but he now works in China. So my Taranis was just gathering dust as I could not understand some of the jargon. You've made it clear for me - so a BIG "Thank you". No stopping for me now.
      Keep up the good work.And of course, Happy flying with Taranis. CheersCD, Cheshire

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  9 лет назад

      The video is about 19 mins long so I have no idea how a site is presenting it at 50. Welcome to the channel!

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  9 лет назад

      Yes you can . Reduced/dual rates and expo will help - ruclips.net/video/eMxqfw5Fne0/видео.html
      Also, you can usually adjust the amount of control in the software for the Flight controller too. Depends on the one you are using.
      Hope this helps

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  9 лет назад

      You can set the rates up for the flight controller that affect how responsive a control is. That is what he is doing in that video.
      You would never set exponential on the throttle channel, you would use curves to manage how the throttle behaves.

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  8 лет назад

      +Nas Khan By the side of where you bind the receiver you will find the [Range] selection, click on that and it will reduce the power and give you about 30 times the range when turned off again.. Best of luck!

    The FlyingWing wizard has never worked for me. I'm using the same RX as in your video. Is there something I may be doing incorrectly during the walk through? The wizard is straight forward but my Aileron and Elevator are basically switched somehow.

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  8 лет назад +1

      You usually have to mess about with the direction of both controls depending on how the servos are installed in the model. This is normal. All the mixer does is mix the elevator and aileron into two channels for the wing servos.. Best of luck!

    @belperflyer7419 9 лет назад

    Very well explained. I look forward to the more advanced areas I haven't yet tried myself.
    I've been using a Taranis for over a year but I moved from a Multiplex transmitter so the idea of being able to allocate any function to any receiver channel wasn't new to me but it was difficult to to learn when I first got my Mux3030. I didn't have the benefit of video tutorials like yours, though :) No RUclips or even internet!
    I have the lates OpenTX firmware (ver2.0.17) installed but it doesn't seem to have the model set up functions you describe here. I assume yours is the Frsky firmware? I now rarely (never) set up a blank model. I just copy and rename an existing similar model as it saves setting up my usual switch allocations.

    Need help. installed and programmed my taranis plus in my multiplex heron glider, everything is working except the flaps, when I move the switch to make the flaps go down, one goes up the other goes down, they are hooked via y harness and put on channel 6, what did I do wrong?

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  6 лет назад

      Sounds like the way they are installed in the model means you can’t use a y harness. I’d individually connect them to their own channels and reverse the one that’s going the wrong way. Best of luck!

Also what voltage range?

    The Taranis has no real usable manual, which is a disaster as far as I'm concerned. Lucky there are people who understand that this is a major problem!

      Also the frsky receivers give a completely bogus method of binding the rx! Its all Googling to find out every correct method of doing all the set up, very frustrating.To bind a frsky rx to a Taranis, you need to go to youtube to find the answer.
      Unbelievable.

      +GPEART1 the Taranis is a different type of product from things like Futaba and Spektrum. Open source products tend to give huge bang for the buck but the manuals are an afterthought. Hence why we made the two series on it here ;)

      +GPEART1 use X series and always bind using the D16 setting. Happy to help if you have an actual question...
