Well, I'm back here after almost a year... haven't flown the plane that I set up for a while. But wow, if it wasn't for your video I would have never initially got this FMS supercub flying with this rx. You're still an RC hero man.
Just have to say I truly love the taranis and the open tx system, even though it's a love hate relationship sometimes. It's an amazing system that isn't so proprietary like horizon hobby and their BNF spektrum stuff. Fly fpv drones, operate robots, fly planes, boats anything you want. Again... only possible for most of us because of guys like this. Thanks man.
Wow, this is awesome. Thank you so much for sorting this out. I need to pull out my s6r and actually put it to use besides just as a normal receiver now. Looking forward to the next video.
We are so lucky to have your videos! Thanks for all of your work
Thanks for enabling me to set up my S8R and getting it to work in a model, without your videos I wouldn't managed it.
One difficulty that I had was that I couldn't find the SxR lua script in the current version of companion. Eventually I found that it was already set up in my Taranis version 2.2 !
Thank you so much. Especially for the downloads to look at. Very timely, I just took delivery on my receiver a couple of weeks ago.
Great videos, Thanks a ton. It took me several times watching it to notice that the lua scripts run with no cables attached! I finally got it bound and caibrated.
At time 12:34, setting up a custom curve for the X7 s2 pot for gain. The other easier way to do this is to set the offset for S2 under mixer channel to 50 weight and 50 offset. This gives it half the travel range, and starts it at the midpoint at the bottom of the pot (rotary switch). This gives it a range of 0 to 100, versus -100 to 100 it would normally have. This is the same way most of controls need to be adjusted to use the QX7 as joystick for PC based simulators. You could still apply a standard or exponential curve on top of the offsets if you want too.
Another great instructional video! One thing you might want to add - when you select D16 mode before binding the S6R to your transmitter you need to also change the number of channels to at least 12. When you set up a new model the default is 8, which doesn't allow you to use channels 9, 10 or 12. This caught me out the first time I tried to use this receiver!
Great tip!
Does that apply to Horus X10? On mine in D 16 mode using FROS I bind it to S6R for 8 ch with telemetry and ch9 and ch12 work fine... but 44 pages for telemetry in model setup...
@D town 313 Yes it works well.... it's what comes stock (S6R) in Frsky's Vantec AR Plus Wing. Just remember when setting up the S6/8R IN THE PLANE that ch 12 used for "self-check" put on a 3 way switch needs to be toggled 3 times from center to start the "self-check" process as a safety feature, and I agree with everyone who says you should disable ch 12 so you don't accidentally start the process in flight and lose TX input. Note: The term "self-check" is poor English translation as it is used to acquire and set the gyro's auto level trim angle in flight (important) as well as register the gimbals neutral position.
thanksthanks, after 3 years of looking for information on how to do it, I saw your long but necessary video of how to do it, thanks for sharing the knowledge and FRSKY their manuals suck
Wow, that's actually really nice!
Very intuitive I’ve looked at getting the s8r for a plane but wasn’t sure how to set it up
Hey! Very useful. I'll definitely be following this series. Thx!
PS: Hopefully others (commentators) will jump in and share their successful setup / settings. TIA!

@@Painless360 my s6r doesnt output any servo signal, i bind, calibrate and all, motor spins with throttle, but servos are like they dont get any power to them.... any ideas why?
Excellent info , thanks . looking forward to the second instalment

Hi Painless 360,
Really apreciate all the videos u make, I literally learned everything i know about setting up opentx radios from u! Big fan! Im kinda stuck on settjng up my gyro though. So first of all im using frsky archer sr8 and sr10 which is the access version of the stabilization receiver. So my issue is my retracts on channel 5 do not work even when i set them to auxiliary. Then only time they work is when the gyro is completely disabled. How do i set it up so everything can work. Also is it possible to move the gain and switched from channels 9-12 to say channels 13-16. My sr10 has channels 9 and 10 which i would like to use for something else. Thanks you!
Looks great mate
I just bought an frsky AR+ wing on special from hobbyking that comes with a preconfigured S6R. To good a deal to refuse. So thanks for the video or I would have no hope in setting it up my TX. I am hoping that set it up in simple mode as per your video.
Awesome! I'm going to pull out a Spektrum receiver and replace it with an S8R due to funkiness that may be because of a Multiprotocol module incompatibility.
What timing Lee, I've just finished a Multiplex FunCub build and I was literally staring at the S8R on my desk wondering where to start!
I had already searched for information and found it astonishingly confusing so I'd given up researching until I was actually ready to fit the Rx. And here you are, like the cavalry! This is going to be fun, but of course, I want to add the knife-edge and hover as well, (well why not if I can get it to work without destroying the model!).
I've just got the SIMPLE modes working here, hoping someone else can risk their models for the last pieces ;) The steps for stage 2 (at the moment - TBC - so use with caution) are self check on the bench with the nose slightly raised to allow for the angle of incidence, fly and trim as normal in 'stabilise off', self-check again to store the new trimmed channel middle positions, test fly again and check self level and then use the adjustments in the LUA to trim out any bias in self level and fine tune the angle of incidence using self-check.. Happy flying!
Cheers Lee, makes iNAv the simple option doesn't it? Thanks again for all your work mate.
It does doesn't it! I didn't think of it like that! :D You can preview the second part (out very soon) using this link - ruclips.net/video/_IVFoB8gY6s/видео.html
Thanks for the great video Lee. I don't think it matters to much about 180 degree rotation as long as the surfaces behave as expexted. I put one in an Arrows BAE Hawk and the pins faced the front, but all surfaces work as expected once reversed in the LUA script. Hope you are well. Stay safe and take care.
Thanks for the information. I always try and show the best way in the videos so pilots don't try something and crash a model because of a video of mine. Happy flying!
I've installed this receiver in a Parkzone Corsair, WingWing Z84 and a Freewing F9 Panther. I will never fly again without such a receiver, unless I'm installing a iNAV flight controller.
This receiver works extremely well and not only improves flight performance, but also provides a nice safe feature, no matter how experienced a pilot you are, it is cheap insurance to have the autolevel feature when you need it. It works equally well for both conventional prop or EDF driven airplanes.
It is not particularly difficult to set up with with the STK tool or with Taranis Lua script. There are plenty of good RUclips videos available such as this one. Just follow them very carefully and triple check to make sure that the compensation is in the right direction.
By the way, this receiver works just as well with the antenna pointing toward the back instead of the front which was more convenient for my particular installs.
Good for you. Why not make some videos to show how you set it up and share that knowledge? Best of luck!
Thank you for the great information.
Thanks for the videos, they have really helped me get the s6r going in my power glider. I have an issue running 2.2.4 and on the simulator is shows "S2" 0 to 100 % with 50% in the middle as in the video but on the actual transmitter it give me 0 to 100 in half the turn radius, 50 is at a 1/4. Can you tell me what I may have done wrong or is the a glitch with 2.2.4.
Hi, thanks for this great video. I run into a problem though. I have calibrated my S8R once, but when trying to calibrate it again (with my X9D radio), the LUA script stops at position #1: I can enter as many times as I want; position #2 won't come in. I tried that because I have opened the RX to waterproof it (it is for a Dynam Catalina) and didn't know if the calibration would be affected. Is the calibration a 'one time only ' kind of thing?
Edit: a day later the calibration mode worked again. No idea why, but the result counts :-)
One word GREAT
Hi Lee - stuck at the first fence! Got all the latest firmware (using Qx7 radio). Bound the receiver using D16. When I run the LUA calibration my XYZ axis remain on Zero and the "(Enter) to validate" doesn't appear. Your help, as always, would be appreciated.
Great explanation and videos. I was wondering, PROVIDED you were only using the Rx in basic/simple/convenient mode, surely you could position the Rx with servo plugs forward so long as you changed the gain direction of the gyro for the elevator.The other thing which may help others who use all 5 flight modes, I was sure I would get confused by the switches at the field so I found a simple way to get all modes. I set the 3 position switch I usually use for flight modes in the logical switch screen to override ch10 and ch11 to the necessary positions for OFF, STABILISER ON, and SELF LEVEL then 1 other switch of my choice to override the ch10 and ch11 settings for HOVER and a third switch to override ch10 and 11 for KNIFE EDGE. Note: you have to set the mixes source to just the ch number
I have been flying with the S8R for quit some time now and it all was because of this guide. I followed it and it just works. My Eflite Maule now handles crazy wind haha. Auto level mode is kind of weird flying in but it is level and I have used this mode when wind was a factor and made it hard and it practically lands it self, you just have to give it some throttle input to balance the ladning speed and S8R does the rest.
However one thing I found weird, since I have my S8R mounted Lable down is this why I have to invert all my channels in S8R lua setup? I had a little action today after I had removed Y-cable to Aileron servos and is now controlling aileron with 2 servos. Aileron channels was at Normal and when i turn on the auto level mode, well it started spinning like crazy since the controller was working against it self hahaha. No worrys though, just turned it of and regained controll but the lesson here is always have a substantial flying altitude while testing new things :) Cheers!
Great video…..what a pain in the keester. Does the Spektrum AS3x have the same calibration issues?
No idea, I don't use those here. Best of luck!
Will the Frsky hex S8R 16CH receiver work with the jumper t16 pro hall?
I have the R9 Stab Ota receiver. If I do not want to use all of the features (stabilization, auto-level, etc), what should I do?
I bought a S8R and I can't get it to bind to my Turnigy TX that I put the FrSky conversion in. I also have Open TX on it V:2.0.19.
I know this is an old video. I have an S8R. Using the airlink USB adapter I have used it to succesfully update to the latest firmware. However once I switch the USB adapter dip2 to configuration mode and connect my S8R it doesn't seem to do anything. I can read & write settings to teh receiver but none of them "stick". In other words I can change a setting, write it, then when I read it back the setting isn't there. I am using Freelink V3.0. Does the freelink app still work?
Thanks.... saved me a ton of time... manual say nothing about Ch12 needing to be toggled... nor that Ch 9 needs the pots center gain level symmetry reversed.
Great stuff; I've been so looking forward to this, and I do believe I've managed to set up everything you've done in this video. However, I've a quite possibly 2 x totally stupid NOVICE questions?
1. When I set my curve to appear as yours I had pt.1 as x=-100 y=0 and pt.2 as x=100 y=100
2. After doing mixer am I correct in setting 'inputs' for channels 9, 10 &12 to note same switches in mixer?
I am probably way off here but need to ask. Thank you :)
Check out the links, my model is in there...
If you didn't want to use a curve, simply set up the channel with a weight of 50 and an offset of 50.That will effectively give you the same output as Painless' curve, 0% to 100% (instead of the default -100% to +100%). I hope this helps!
I'm a long time subscriber and love your informative videos. I echo your sentiments about buying the first S6Rs and then giving up on them about a year ago, me too! I just recently got a radio upgrade to X12S Horus and love it with FrTX OS...but I cannot seem to figure out the setup in that OS. Can you help? I have scoured the RCGroups and everything seems to be OpenTx.
I don't have one of those radios so sadly that's tricky. FROS isn't bad and has most of the same pieces as Opentx. Best of luck with it..
I'm trying to setup a Delta wing for my flying wing with the S6R but when I try to setup channel 1 ail and channel 2 ele it only controls channel 1. When I delete the mix for channel 1 and then have channel 2 it controls my servo that's plugged into channel 1. I found if I turn off the features for auto level and what not I am then able to control the servo plugged into channel 2 with the mix setup for channel 2 like it should work. Please god help me.
Another great video, thanks! Can you change channel 10 to be the opposite direction (-100 - - > 100)? So the auto level be towards me and no stab be away from me?
Not sure. All I worked out is in the video.. Happy flying
Thanks for that video. I helps a lot with setting up my X9Dplus. What I did not really got is the difference between "self level" and "stabilize" an channel 10!?
Is "self level" the backflip to horizontal flying mode?
Stabilise is like what a gyro would do and self level does what it says on the tin - self levels the plane in the absence of a stick input.. Happy flying
Very helpful video, I'm setting up a few of these for the first time. Quick question. Is it possible to use two of these receivers together? I have a plane that would benefit from using 14 separate ports. Would I still be using ch. 9, 10, 11 and 12 for the gain etc. or would they shift to 17, 18, 19 and 20?
I've not tried. See my D16 X-series reciever binding tips video for how to bind two normally... Happy flying
Ok sir... thank you... can i use a Orange R617XL??
Another wonderful tutorial, thank you for that.
Couple of questions, though. I don't yet have a stabilising receiver and am kind of hanging back because of your iNav videos, which seem to offer some additional benefits such as Return To Home. I am only flying fixed wing.
1 What are the benefits of just settling for the S6/8 XR rather than the whole hog of iNAV?
2 I see you are using a different radio. Can the S8R also be used with my Taranis Plus?
Seems to be a lot of things happening in this new (new to me) world.
I am now in my 70s and am considering the potential benefits of a "save me" switch, if, and when I lose orientation.
Your comment will be greatly appreciated, perhaps by a few others also.
Keep up the good work
Bruce
+Bruce Austin 1) GPS and OSD support 2) yep. If you want GPS then go INav. If not, then this is worth a look. Hope that helps..
I need to ask a maybe stupid question. On Frsky webpage where you download the firmware to receiver (anyone not just the S8R) there are a couple of firmware to choose from. Do I need to do them all or will the latest be enough and the previous updates also contains in this one?
Not stupid at all! :D I'd always go with the latest update to get the latest, best version of the code.. Best of luck!
Hi and thank you for your amazing videos, one question.
Is this receiver still relevant or I better go with a flight controller?
I am looking for 3D flying close proximity flying wing trying to remove the hassle of setting up a flight controller.
See my video in the Introduction to fixed wing playlist. I have a video on stabilisers or flight controller as well as videos on the options for the best options on flight controllers for fixed wing.. Happy flying!
Hi, sorry if you covered this, I'm in a rush between videos to find this crucial although simple information. I'm using this receiver for a non-airplane application and it's incredibly dangerous if the motors try to compensate with the stabilization features. Because of this, I need to disable the accelerometer---how is this done? Thanks!
Yes you can turn off stabilisation and the change the gain. Happy flying
This may have been answered already somewhere but if you configure and calibrate a s6r receiver for one model, and you then decide to delete the model, does the receiver maintain the bind and the calibration when you put it in a new model and creat a new model profile. Thanks
Should do. Best of luck
i have efx racer too so having your video was exactly what i needed but after following the steps and leaving out ch11 i seem to a knife edge mode. have i missed something?
opps had quick mode disabled
Hi.
I have a question that I cannot find the answer to. I have a Delta Wing but with two rudders and two ailerons. It is a Parkzone Stryker But on the S6R there is only one output for rudders. How do I solve that?
Thanks for a great channel.
I'd look at it Y cable for the rudders. Best of luck
Hello, Mr. Thank you very much for your informative videos. All helped me to set up my S6R without problems. I have only one question. Is it possible to turn it around 180 degrees? Heading direction is always antennas front. In FreeLink software from FrSky there is no such an option. Inside of the fuselage is no room to point antennas out if it is set up as normal. Therefore I need to turn it around, otherwise, I get failsafe and RSSI low. Thank you for any help.
Not unless the software has changed since I made the videos... best of luck
Hi. Great instructions. I don't know where else you can find a discription like this!
But I have a problem: in auto level when the plane turns right, the ailerons steer proportional to the angle against it perfectly, but as soon as I get a little bit to the left, it steers 100% to the left so it would crash... What could I have done wrong?
Not sure, I'm not a fan of these things and all I figured out is in these videos. Best of luck!
I was told only Taranis x9d plus and Horus 12 would support the sxr. Have you had problems with other Frsky transmitters?
I'd check back with that person who told you that - it's not true. See these videos and check the SxR directory in the SD card contents for pretty much all of the OpenTX supported radios... Happy flying!
I hope you will show more on the radio settings such as the channel 10 steps beyond the mixer screen for the 3 positions like -100 and 0 also the +100 . I don't understand the MAX on those steps. Hope that makes sense.
Check out the link in the description - you can download and look at the OpenTX model memory I'm using here. If you're not sure then check out the videos in the OpenTX Mix School...
Hi Lee,Thank you for these videos they have been a great help so far. I do however have one issue and was wondering if you could help to shed some light on it for me. I'm using an S6R in a delta wing EDF and as per the video I'm letting the RX do the mixing, Everything is fine when both AIL and ELE are set to 100% but as soon as I try to add dual rates, expo and travel limits I end up getting limited travel on just one elevon servo. I've tried adding the dual rates in both the Inputs page and the Mixer page to see if the issue was caused by changing the mixing in radio but the issue is re-occurring. I was wondering if you had come across this issue yourself or if you might have a suggestion on how to overcome it as I can't fly this EDF without equal aileron travel or without dual rates especially on its maiden. Thanks in advanced for any help you can give.
Kind Regards, Ben.
All the information I have is in these videos, I’m not a fan of this thing personally I think the idea is excellent but the implementation is lousy. I only got it to work by following the steps exactly. Best of luck!
@@Painless360 I get your point exactly with this thing. So close yet so far. I will play with it some more and if I find a solution I will let you know. Thanks again Lee. Have a happy new year.
Hi Leo, Good explanation as far as Taranus is concerned. Could you repeat the exercise with the new Jumper T16 pro (Hall).When attempting to calibrate an S8R mine freezes at the first page and the xyz values do not update. Any help appreciated
Sadly I don't have that radio here.. The T16 is about to get support from Opentx so maybe that'll change things?
got reciever working...eventually.my last and biggest problem was setting up the number of channels in reciever on the first menu.default is 8.had to increase this to 16 and suddenly all my channel programming came alive and worked.if i didnt do this it did not as it did not recognise any channels above 8
I have the Taranis X9D plus. I got and loaded the firmware for my S8R receiver and flashed it. When I tried to calibrate it w/ SXR, the first pic came up showing which way to orient the receiver. After that nothing would occur after I hit enter. What do you think might be the problem?
No need to post twice - already replied on the other post. Best of luck!
Can you setup multiple SXR on the same radio for different planes. One script can be used for two different models? Thanks
Yes, that should be fine..
Hi, great video. I’m new to flying. I have a bixlar 2 and the s6r. Looking at your model on the simulator you have ail and rud weight set to -100. I’ve watched your other setup videos and I don’t understand why. Should I be doing this? Thanks.
All I knew about this thing is in the video - I've not used it since making the video to help others out. Best of luck!
Hi, I realised what it was. -100 weight is for swapping the direction of your rudder. Thanks for the fast response
I just ordered S6R for may glider for slope. It has 6 servos. How to connect rx battery? Can I use SBUS port to power in?
No need to post twice.. Happy flying
Sorry for be out topic: have you ever covered Tbs crossfire?
If you google ‘Crossfire Painless360’ you’ll find my series on it.. it’s in the playlists too.. happy flying!
Can this be set up on an xjt module or does it require a taranis?
You'll be OpenTX to run the LUA script if you don't want to use a PC... best of luck!
Hi, thanks for the video! However, I discovered a strange phenomenon. If the gyro is deactivated via the 3 pos switch, the auto mode is still half active. I disabled my gyro but my plane would not fly inverted, the gyro kept trying to use the ailerons to bring the plane back to normal flight attitude. It took me a long time to find out what caused it. I have to set the AUTOLEVEL gain value to 0% in the gyro menu in the LUA script. This is the only way to fix the problem. The second strange phenomenon is that I have to manually calibrate the gyro before every start as soon as the lipo is plugged in, otherwise it cannot be deactivated via the 3 Pos switch and would be on permanently. Somehow I haven't been able to get along with this S8R gyroscope for 2 years. I discover new problems every time.
Another question: Is the S8R going to do ANY stabilization right out of the box, or does it still have to be programmed. In other words, is there a default stabilization mode it will doo when it is simply mounted in the plane and connected to the servos?
You'd need to check the documentation for it. I'd suspect that until the basic setup is done you can't enable that mode. It would be very dangerous unless you installed it exactly as described in the manual and even then a mis-step in calibration would crash your model..
It seems that the basic setup is out of the box if you follow your excellent guideAAA++ - don't forget to set D16 mode with 12 channels- one other thing at the end it doesnt go to the second part automaticly
Is the receiver text need to be facing you When calibrating the SXR with the pins down and up? I do it in a way the receiver is 90° to the table, is that ok?
Not sure what you mean. All of the steps I used are in the video. Best of luck!
I had to reverse the rudder and elevator on my x9d plus outputs to get all surfaces moving in the right direction in manual mode. But now the auto level and stabilizer modes on the S8R seem to react in the wrong directions. Should I have reversed the rudder and elevator somewhere else?
All I have figured out is in the video and the steps have to be followed for it to work.. Best of luck..
What rx would you recommend for line of sight flying in planes not needing stabilizer or gps .Just a good reliable 6Ch RX to work with my TX16S.Thanks
I use mainly FrSky X8R receivers here as I have lots from the days when I had a lot of fixed wing models all built at once..
@@Painless360 Ok, thank you . Have you heard anything about them not being compatibe with the radiomaster tx .Something to do with what version of the accst they have. Im really new and just looking to keep it simple and plug and play and not have to mess with firmware and such.
I just saw your video for set up a Taranis Q7X , the Firmware is Ver. 2.3.9 6/17/2020, SD 2.3 V0029, FrSky_SxR_R9S.lua, S8R_ACCST_2.1.0_FCC.frk, I followed your instructions step by step, but I cannot activate the Stabilization. Need suggestions. I would appreciate your help
All I figured out is in the videos here. This isn't a great product form FrSky IMHO, great idea but lousy implementation. I hope you get it sorted soon.
I appreciate all of the time and information you provide here. Thank you! I would LOVE to be able to use lua scripts for calibration and set-up of my S8R, but the scripts I have downloaded several times from OpenTX do not seem to connect with the S8R (no yellow lamp) and show ---- for all the input blanks. I've reviewed the radio set-up and have the mode and channels set correctly, with telemetry (radio prompts and screen confirm this) but can't get them to operate in my X9D plus. Can you help? Thanks in advance...
Hi Steve, I've only created the videos in the playlist as I'm not a fan of this thing. The idea is great but FrSky made a hash of the software and hasn't sorted it enough despite all the feedback. If you get it sorted I'd like to know what it was.. Best of luck!
@@Painless360 Thanks for your response. I've tried to find a LUA script that works but can't. They're no longer on the FrSKY "tools" menu. Any way you could post the ones that you have, so I can pick them up? I'm running S8R with latest firmware (quick mode).
The SxR is a great idea and I can appreciate how much information the RX has to have to do it's job on any one of a million different set-ups. Getting that in there is not easy.
Horizon Hobby makes BNF planes with ASX3 receivers in them and configured and they're pretty good right out of the box. This is the right way to do it for new pilots.
@@MrStevealvey if I understand you correctly? You can't get your LUA script to run?? I'm in search for the same answers. Just got this receiver today and it talks to the Tx but the Tx doesn't want to run the Lua or Calibration.
finished an octo copter i january 2018. became ill had a stroke march 2018. been trying since to bind the radio
got tired of stepping around the bird and gave it a try again. wish me luck. pretty sure setting up a qx7 and sxr caused the stroke lol.
Best of luck with the maiden!
I have a Tatarnis DX9plus. And I want to use the S8R for my plane.
Now I see 6 files on the FrSky site in the Firmware folder.
And there are also 4 files in the Tools folder.
Do I have to do all these.
Or has an explanation about which files to use
You need the files in the SXR folder on the SD card. Best of luck!
Would these be able to be adapted for use in a nitro chopper?
I don't think so. If you get it working, let me know.
yep 5 min in found my issue , new lua sxr . was not there back when i loaded 2.2
Im having trouble understanding the curves for channel 9. Is the value of 50 on pt 1 x?
You can download and look at the model setup - it's listed in the description..
Nice stuff! I have been figuring this out lately as well with the help of some of the sites you mentioned and have it all working, phew. A suggestion is for Ch9 pot. Instead of using a curve that goes from 50 to 100% each way from the middle detent, set it up like so, I have Pot S1 on ch9. S1 Weight +50%, Offset 50%. That way, it goes from 0-100% with 50% as the middle detent.
Also be wary of Ch12 and Urgent Mode. After the 3 flip settings to get it calibrated, you must remember to move it out of the position of Urgent mode, otherwise your Ch 10 switch will be overridden, and you will think that you are unable to control the 3 ch10 settings! Phew hope that makes sense.
Cheers again and thanks.
Makes perfect sense. Thanks for posting. Did you trim your plane for level flight in ‘stabilisation off’ mode?
Yes I was planning the maiden today and trim with gyro 'off' first, but the rain has dampened that plan!
What I do tho, may be frowned upon. Once I verify all the controls and stabilization are working in the right directions, I actually take off with gyro in auto-level mode so I don't over-rotate or make a dumb error with a poorly trimmed plane. I've seen too many flight-mates drive into the ground on maiden and I don't want to be one of them!
Once it gets up there, I turn gyro off and trim the surfaces.
+DSA44 thanks for the reply, lots of pilots seem to be in the very similar situation of just getting to the point where this thing is in the air. Exciting times!
Can I use channels 9, 10 and 12 for Frsky S8R
Not sure, all I could figure out for it is in these videos.. Best of luck!
My radio has the s6r setup but not the configure part but it seems to work fine I only want it for stabilise is it really an essential part any help would be great ?
All I figured out for this thing are in these videos. Best of luck..
Can I just put those files LUA with windows without using Companion. To my SD Card?
That should still work.... Happy flying
Is there any video about S6R How to use voltage sensor?
The Smartport sensors werk the same way as on non stabilised receivers. I have videos on those... best of luck
I just got one of these to put into a Bixler 2 (thanks to your help with all your videos on this). During setup I have found two strange issues, 1/ The orientation of the S6R compared to the Lua is messed up. I have to fit it so the X6R is on its side like you have but in the Lua I need to set it up with the S6R UPSIDE DOWN for this to work correct. 2/ Normal set up in the Lua I get an output from AIL but not from AIL2, this is the same for ELE2. This is not a problem as I can use a Y servo splitter for both Ailerons and connect this to the same AIL port giving me two free channels. All this was using the link to the files you have for flashing and Lua.... Confusing but working now.
Glad you got it working. I'm not a fan of this thing - nice idea, lousy software implementation..
Its a shame as this type of thing is needed to help new flyers. Frsky need to get the software sorted before releasing the product or make it more open development. For new pilots you need good instructions how to connect it and how to use/install any software needed to use the device. Keep it simple yet make it to the needs and more user friendly. Again I thank you for all you do, without you most of us would be stuffed....
I am getting in some stand-alone stabilisers that can be fitted to any plane as I agree - this is a useful aid for all levels of pilot and especially for scale warbirds! :D
I flashed and updated my taranis and my S8R, that worked fine. But it wont bind. So i took an old X8R and that bind without any problems. Why ?
Both need to be identical protocols see ruclips.net/video/vOAFdp52cVU/видео.html
I got an S6R about six months ago as a gift from the g/f, an had all sorts of problems. Finally got it to work not but a week ago, but I still just use the EagleTree Guardian that I bought to replace it. Sooooo much easier to setup, but it is JUST a stab., not an RX/Stab combo like the S6R. Still.....
The eagletree unit will probably outperform this thing from FrSky. As I've said in many other posts - it's a good idea but a lousy implementation... happy flying!
hope I can get help..I have SxR enable but then I dont get any movement when on the sticks only throttle works, But if I disable the Sxr all servo move but no stabilizer this is on the jumper T18. it used to work fine when I had the frsky X10 radio.
Gain setting maybe? All I figured out is in the video. Best of luck
@@Painless360 I got it...I was the self check having to move the sticks..fixed it
Hi I'm having trouble binding my s6r to my taranis x9e. I've updated my taranis and flashed the s6r but all I'm getting is a green light and I got of them they both do the same. can you help
All of the information I have on this receiver are in these videos. I'm personally not a fan of these, the idea is great but the implementation is terrible. Best of luck with it..
Hello sir I have a small doubt. I have a flight lighting system and I want to know if I can plug it in the ail2 port as there is no separate aux port in the receiver . Thanks 😀
Not sure what you're asking, if you're looking for a 5 volt supply for those lights then be careful about the amount of currentit will pull. Don't forget that there are additional ports on this receiver the also supply those 5 volts too. Best of luck!
do you mean you want to use Ail2 as a switch for your lights?
I can't open freelink on windows 10. Can you help me? I have installed all drivers and freelink, but when I dobble click the freelink icon my desktop, nothing go on. What's the problem?
I had to run it with windows 8 compatability, it's still not perfect with windows 10 though, I'm def no expert either
Great
Hello thank you for making this video, I get an error code on my taranis after I try to execute the Lua scripts for s6r, it will not allow me to calibrate it nor select any of the selections on s6r lua scripts
Nathaniel Pike, I had same error when I ran Lua script with receiver plugged into taranis with a cable via s port. You need to bind the receiver and calibrate using the RF link
@@TonyChallis hello scouring the web for answers. I have been trying to use the RF link between my Tx and the S6R and I cannot get the Lua script to do anything except go to the intro screen. Any resolve to this.
Can you use the stabilizer on the x20 tx? I can't find anything to show me how...
It should do, same process. I've not had the X20 in here to try so can't sat categorically. Best of luck
@@Painless360 I did find a video for it. It is way different. I didn't really know that it was called "SxR." That was the biggest thing to help searching.
The 'X' in SxR is there because there were different versions, an S6R and an S8R (as in the thumbnail for this video). Happy flying!
Hi can you help me as i got crow on the throttle but i like a switch so i can have the throttle on the throttle stick and also have the crow on the throttle stick so i can have one on at the time i have look at all on the mix school and i can not work out how to do it
Lots of ways to do that, only have it 'on' for certain flight modes or simply add a 'switch' to the mix line for CROW mixes on the outputs. Both are shown in the series lots and lots of times. Best of luck!
will this work on a taranus plus radio ?
If it's running OpenTX 2.2 or later than it should
Rather than creating a curve for the gain, why not just set the weight & offset to 50? That makes the potentiometer's range 0-100
Has the same effect but probably a bit quicker to set up for most folks.
That's what the manual suggests, too (at least for the Archer SR receivers, which basically do the same as these).
Willnthisnreciever work with the x lite?
Should do..
Is the 'old' S6R directory still needed on the radio ?
Nope, that's been superseded. See the latest SD card contents..
Thanks Lee
Where can I get the software? THANKS!
Checked the links in the description?
Have you any video's on how to set the 3 flight modes for a helicopter, ie normal mode, idle up 1 and idle up 2.? I have converted my Raptor 30 to electric and will be doing my 50 SE next, cyclic and throttle moving together and throttle cut all working, swash at 90 deg and hoping the gyro working , I have done this as a gear switch as on normal tx's +50,-50. Not much in way of video's like your's I find that using a video is better as it can be stopped and started as you want. Thank's for any help you can give. I have looked on all the video's that you have made and can not find one on this subject. do not know of any other way of contacting you other on this site. You can find me on face book if you use it
On what radio?
@@Painless360 Taranis Plus X9D
Then google something like 'OpenTX heli Painless360' and you'll find what my video that will help..
Can I run this straight off of a 3 cell Lipo?
Nope, see the voltage range in the manual.. happy flying!
Can this receiver be used in a quad???
Small, s-bus receivers for use with flight controller is what you need. This is designed for planes..
could you help i have the s6r can i daisy chain the gps and the voltage meter from frsky too it and it all works?
If you are using the S.port sensors then they work with it in the same way as any X series receiver.. Best of luck!
@@Painless360 thanks very much
The SR10PRO doesn't work.
Is there a way to use this with helicopters?
Not that I know of, check the latest manual in case it's been added very recently. Best of luck!
Hi
Your saying the outputs need to be in this order but your showing the mixer screen sorry abit
confused
many thanks
See the downloadable model setup in the description.. hope it helps..
After watching it a few time i'm with it now setting up from the LUA script now, i thank you so much for your time and effort
will be setting up the FuriousFPV F-35 Lightning Flight controller (Full Options) next on another build so you may hear from me again
I cant get my S6R to enter Bind mode. All I see is a solid green lite on the RX. I've flashed the RX several times but this hasn't fixed it. several people have shown this happening. Please not that this has nothing to do with the TX The RX will not enter BIND mode. I have been able to bind this RX in the past PLEASE HELP
All of the information I have on this receiver is in these videos. I’m not a fan of these, the idea is excellent but the implementation is terrible. Best of luck with your problem, let me know if you find out what the answer is.
@@Painless360 thanks for the mega fast response. Binding which should be a simple thing seems to not always work as it should.
Just a quick heads up. The issue was the back board of the Taranis. I replaced it and it now works fine. A multimeter across the antenna leads has my dead board showing open circuit and the working board has a very low ohms around. 6 oms on the one that works.
@@finecutpost Well done on finding that out. Glad it's working!
Can't get the AIL to work ? I have put it in the correct socket in the receiver and put the mix like yours, but no reaction on AIL1. Anyone have any clue?
What troubleshooting have you already tried?
@@Painless360 I did put the AIL in other channel and it works there. I took the latest SD files from open tx which have the SxR files in them. The wing type lua and the calibration lua. The new one from 2020 didn't work, I got the one from 7-7-2019. I didn't update the firmware of the receiver yet, maybe that's the issue?
I'd always update if you have a problem, it's the first thing anyone trying to help will ask you too.. Best of luck!
@@Painless360 So i updated the firmware and bootloader opentx en taranis. Got the new firmware for the S6R, but now I can't bind it to my radio anymore. It's solid green when binding, after plugging it (battery) out and back in, it flashes red...
The latest firmware from FrSky isn't compatible with the previous versions. I'm guessing you are not a regular viewer else you'd have seen this - ruclips.net/video/vOAFdp52cVU/видео.html
