Nice mod thinking of doing this myself for my X12S. Where can i find the screen to purchase, and where does it connect to on the main board. Is it straight swap, or do i need to solder in connections
Hi it is by far the best mod I ever did to a Tx and it is relatively easy a quick to do but there is some soldering involved. The instructions are in German but are easy to follow also if you are not a German speaker. Once you have all necessary parts it takes about 2 hours to mod the X12S. If you have ISRM already installed you will have again a completely up to date radio. Here are the instructions. Wilhelm Maier has also a video regarding the mod on youtube. wimalopaan.github.io/Electronics/rc/touch.html You will need a touch screen overlay which you can get here www.buddyrc.com/products/radiomaster-tx16s-touch-panel-update-set And the touch screen adapter you get here www.amazon.com/FPC-6PIN-2-54MM-Adapter-Connector-Converter/dp/B09T6P7YBJ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29POBF6F6THQ5&keywords=adapter+fpc-6p+0.5mm&qid=1703443433&sprefix=adapterfpc-6p+0.5mm%2Caps%2C433&sr=8-1 You will also need some cable around 20 gauge if in different colors, better. If you get to do the mod I am sure you won't regret it and if you are already on EdgeTx 2.8.0 or higher, even better. I do recommend to get a correctly sized screen protector and install it once you applied the touch screen overlay, immediately after to make sure not to scratch it while installing it back in the Tx housing. Any questions feel free to contact me. You also can get information about the mod in the RC-Forums on the Horus X12S Thread, A New Beginning.. Happy Holidays
@@tropicairrl6121 Thank you so much. And happy holidays to you and family as well. I was actually looking at doing the ISRM update to ACCeSS when I found this video. May as well do it all while it's apart. The Horusrc store lists the ISRM module as all ready loaded with the firmware. Does that me to me that it's a straight plug and play, no firmware needed to be done. I'm not great at computers, so moving files ect gets a bit confusing for me. One question I do have with the ACCeSS protocols, does it also increase your channel count from 16 to 24. Enabling full use of the RB30, and other ACCeSS Rx with a channel count of 12pwm/24 Sbus out. Thanks in advance
In the long run you most probably will not get around updating the firmware of you receivers and module. It is important to have the latest 2.1.... firmware version installed specially when you are using the new archer plus receivers and want to use all features. On the other hand it is very simple to do so with EdgeTx OS. There are different ways to do it, I prefer just copying the new firmwares to the SD card. In case of first receiver upgrades a cable with switched plus minus has to be prepared but after it can be done OTA. Access provides 24 channels. Eventhough I use a couple of R12 Plus receivers I had no need for more than the provided channels using ithem on gliders and gassers exclusively. So I did not try it out but should work.
@@tropicairrl6121 thanks again. My ACCST receivers and radio have the latest updated 2.1 firmware. Currently using OpenTx. Haven't Taking the plunge to EdgeTx yet as my old, but stable X12S Horus doesn't have the touch screen, but have now seen other on RUclips have made that convertion. Starting to think I need to spend a little on my radio, rather than spending a huge amount on a compete new X20S, and relearn a new OS. Buy making these up grades to My X12S it'll brought up to spec, keeping the known OS and for a lot cheaper. In the process of building a self drawn EDF, Scale with so far 15 channels used without any gyros added. It's a bit much really, but working slats, flaps, spoilers, doors and retracts, tailvators, wing sweep ect. 1/12 F111G twin 80mm. 70"ws. I've no idea if it is going to ever leave the ground, but it's a lot of fun building it, and automating as many surfaces as to prototype. LoL 🤣👍.

Hi

The instructions are in German but are easy to follow also if you are not a German speaker.

Here are the instructions. Wilhelm Maier has also a video regarding the mod on youtube.

You will need a touch screen overlay which you can get here www.buddyrc.com/products/radiomaster-tx16s-touch-panel-update-set
And the touch screen adapter you get here www.amazon.com/FPC-6PIN-2-54MM-Adapter-Connector-Converter/dp/B09T6P7YBJ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29POBF6F6THQ5&keywords=adapter+fpc-6p+0.5mm&qid=1703443433&sprefix=adapterfpc-6p+0.5mm%2Caps%2C433&sr=8-1
