I just got a X20S. I want to say thank you. I was a Futaba user of their flagship transmitters for 32 years. This X20S blows both Spectrum & Futaba flagship models out of the sky. So thank you for all of these videos. I have found them extremely helpful.
I got my X20 Yesterday, I'm going to tread slowly but you give me hope by making it look easy. Flying sailplanes a small electrics, I'm looking forward to developing some tailored model setups with this well made unit. THANKS for your effort Mr. D
Ehos suite has now updated my new X20s radio with the latest of everything. The radio was behind by about six revisions. Wish I had seen this video first before trying to manually install the updates. Thank you.
I totally agree with you, once on the later versions Ethos suite becomes your one stop shop and is ridiculously easy to use, this is how it always should have been in OTX with Companion but just wasn't and still isn't .
It would have been nice if it was always like this. But things need to mature. It’s like in the older days of home computers, you had to load DOS, put in a floppy disk, and run install.bat. These days just double click and your new program is ready to use. This will be so much easier now, especially for new pilots. But yes, even OpenTX Companion isn’t this easy to use. It will be nice if the model editor makes it to ETHOS Suite.
@@MrD My comment was somewhat confusing so now edited, again agree, you can't have perfection at launch unless you are prepared to wait for that launch for a very long time, but Ethos is (very rapidly), in my opinion becoming what OTX should have been but missed the opportunity to be. That is, very easy to use and very intuitive as well. I can quite clearly see why FrSky went down this route, Ethos is already far easier to programme than Futaba or JR and as powerful as any other system out there, truly great work by Bertrand.
Hello Sir! thank you for all your help. I just updated from 1.4 to 1.4.6 and now all my Temp sensor on my models give me a reading ESC 43 and motor 44. when flying the temp goes up 2 or 3 degrees at the most. Didn't know anybody else has ran into on this before. Also in the Telemetry shows range 15. to 643 max this is new too. Thank you for all your help if possible
It won't matter once everyone updates their bootloader to at least 1.2.10, but if you are on at least 1.2.0 you can download the newest bootloader unzip it on your pc, run ethos suite, with the radio completely off plug your radio in to the pc via usb cable and ethos suite will recognize it and pop up a section called DFU flasher. You can then select where your bootloader file is on your pc and it will update your bootloader.
@@MrD After using the Suite to update my x20s, which went smoothly thanks to you, I noticed that all my custom plane and multi pictures are gone and replaced with the black and white generic pictures. Any ideas how I can get all my color pictures to load?
Hi Frank. I don’t have that exact model current sensor. But they all should be pretty similar in operation. I’ll take a look and see if that’s possible.
A couple questions - what search parameters did you use to find that PR #7098? Is it a PR or called something else since it's actually a resolution to a PR? And what does this mean? - "Extension of the craft name hack: inflight adjustments are now supported." What inflight adjustments is it referring to and what are you supposed to see? I answered your last comment below, as well, in case it doesn't notify you.
Yes, it is a PR, or Pull Request. PR’s are proposed changes, which can be resolutions for Issues. I just searched for “DJI” in the closed PRs. The craft name hack is what is used to insert the information not supported by DJI into their OSD. In flight adjustments allow you to change a variety of parameters in flight. That extension to the hack added that capability to DJI users.
👍👍Great videos! Just received my X20S and it came 1.0.19 firmware and really old bootloader. Followed all 3 of your videos and successfully update the X20S. Another question, the SD card came with it was only 4GB, and if I want to update to a 32 GB SD card like yours, do I just copy the content of the old 4GB to the new card and is that ok? Thanks.
Bonsoir Mr.D J'aimerais si tu as un vrai tuto pour un récepteur SR10+ ARCHER, car je n'ai que l'aileron de gauche qui fonctionne, et depuis les nouveaux modèles, je bloque avec ce problème tandis quavant avec mes S6R ou SR6 tout allait bien ? Merci d'avance
@Mr.D - Falling with style (I duplicated my answer in this separate comment because I don't know if YT notifies you for comment answers the same as for new comments.) Thank you Darren! You're quite right. I've been looking through all the INAV documentation that I can find but haven't seen that explained. Can you direct me to the right doc that talks about needing to be in-flight and about the highlight colors? And is there a simulator or a way, through the configurator, to make INAV think it's flying? I see you have an Amazon wishlist and would like to help out. Do I just "Add to basket" and purchase it and it will be shipped to you? Any particular item on that list you need right away?
RUclips can be finicky. Sometimes it shows replies, other times it doesn’t. This time it did on the mobile app, but not the web site. Crazy huh? As for the documentation. Currently there isn’t any real documentation for the configurator. The colours on the modes page are really a configurator thing, so it wouldn’t make sense to have it on the firmware GitHub wiki. I am looking at making some wiki pages for the configurator. I guess modes would be a good place to start. But these things will take time. No, there isn’t a way to trick INAV to think it’s flying. But, if it did that, all the safety checks would be skipped. So it’s probably a good thing. If the mode lights up dark blue, it will be fine in flight. Thank you for considering a gift. To be honest, I didn’t know, so had to look it up. Apparently you just select an item from the list, add it to the basket, and carry on as normal. Amazon takes care of everything. Hope that all helps 👍🏻
Hi, good day and thanks for your videos. I wanted to ask you how to do with my T20S radio that when the throttle lever is halfway it alerts me when I'm flying and I can't look at the controls. Thank you so much!!!!
You're welcome Alexandro. I can't see a standard mid beep in ETHOS at the moment. But you could add a A~X logic switch which tests for the throttle at a value of 0%. Then use that logic switch to trigger a special function which outputs a haptic feedback. Then when you're near mid throttle, you will know. This may be able to be refined. So I may make a video on this in the future.
i tried to put a bigger sd card in my new x20s and it said no SD card I copied everything from the original SD card what else is there to do is there a limit on size of SD card
Great video Darren, Just updated my x18 to 1.4.1 and as you said in the video ethos suite took care of everything even the outdated bootloader just one issue I've had after doing the update is all the pictures have disappeared?
After doing an update with this suite, do you have to pay attention or worry about going fly a model? Anything else to look over? I have some very expensive turbines and just want to make sure that I do this correctly.
It shouldn't cause any problems. I've not had any issues with models being changed during an update. But on the side of safety, it's worth checking that everything is doing what it's supposed to do. I do basic checks before every flight anyway. If you have any concerns, it's always worth a quick check to put your mind at ease, if nothing else.
The simulator isn’t for the SD Card. It is installed on Windows, so that you can demo ETHOS without a transmitter. Cool. I’ve only just seen your message. Look out for those little coloured squares. They mean there are more options if you long press the enter button. Like when you long pressed to set the volume to the slider.
Just got my x20 still at 1.0.1 . Question: is it possible to clean install with the latest firmware erasing everything inside? Should be a simplest way to update? Thanks
Yes. But with such an old version, you will need to flash the firmware to the latest version (1.4.6). After that, update to the latest 1.4.2 bootloader. Once those two are installed, ETHOS Suite can be used. This video should give you the correct process ruclips.net/video/j_iAUkg6wao/видео.html
Thank you and sorry, but I'm confused - "In flight adjustments allow you to change a variety of parameters in flight." - this must mean something other than the usual mode changes via switches. And I thought the DJI hack was no longer used (e.g. :WT...") since 4.0. It also must not be adjustments entered through the DJI goggles menu since that's always been there and has nothing to do with INAV. So how are these in-flight adjustments input while flying and which things are they for adjusting? If it's documented somewhere, please let me know and I'll figure it out from there. Thanks
Yes, you can change things like the PIDs, cruise throttle, and much more in flight. github.com/iNavFlight/inav/blob/master/docs/Inflight%20Adjustments.md I believe the hack still uses the craft name. But, you don't need to type the characters in. As I say, I'm not a DJI pilot, so haven't investigated this.
Hi Darren, I was hoping you might have a quick fix for this (off subject) problem. I need to use inav_5.1.0_MATEKF411SE_FD_SFTSRL1 on my F411WSE board so I can have a 3rd OSD port for the DJI FPV system. It works except iNAV is using the text, ACRO, for all the modes except Manual and Angle. I connected my analog camera and VTX to the FC while running the same firmware to prove it's iNAV that's doing this. So it's not a problem in some other part of the communication chain like Crossfire or the DJI system. So the problem shows up on both the analog and the digital OSD and also on the LUA script telemetry on the TX16S display. Have you seen this problem and know how to fix it? If not, can you possibly send a link for the correct place to enter a ticket for it? Thank you!
If it’s on the bench, the only modes that can be selected are manual, acro, horizon, and angle. The navigation modes need the plane to be flying. So don’t worry about it. I bet those modes are also highlighted in dark blue on the modes page, not light blue.
@@MrD Thank you Darren! You're quite right. I've been looking through all the INAV documentation that I can find but haven't seen that explained. Can you direct me to the right doc that talks about needing to be in-flight and about the highlight colors? Is there a simulator or a way through the configurator to make INAV think it's flying? I see you have an Amazon wishlist and would like to help out. Do I just "Add to basket" and purchase it and it will be shipped to you? Any particular item on that list you need right away?
If you've used the DJI FPV system with INAV and used the CRAFT_NAME for messages, might you know why it would still be displaying "CRAFT_NAME" most of the time and occasionally, randomly showing 3D speed? It completely ignores it when I put :W or any of the other letters in the craft name field. That feature should work on the bench, shouldn't it?
I’ve not used DJI. Paweł uses DJI; and I’m sure when someone else had this problem he recommended to not import the diff for the OSD (osd_layout section and there are osd_ parameters in the master section). I know that you no longer need to put characters in the craft name for the hack. You just select the elements. I did look at the code and could see nothing forcing “CRAFT_NAME” to be displayed with DJI. The OSD should work on the bench. Of course, flight mode names will only reflect those that can be used.
@@MrD Ok thank you. I guess that means I should reinstall the FW and don't use the "keep current settings", and should remove the OSD section from the diff file before importing it. So I did that and set up the OSD again. It does work better and now shows the trip distance all the time except when in manual mode which then only displays "MANUAL" all the time but shows ACRO and STAB, when in those modes, correctly. But the Flymode is being displayed as well and it shows ACRO and STAB ok but shows ACRO when in manual mode - weird! The LUA script display shows MANUAL correctly when in manual.
Hi.Just started using Ethos and so far I'm impressed. I am used to using OTX/EdgeTX but Ethos seems easier to use.One thing has me stumped though.I know it's possible to disable a special function but can't figure out how to delete it (so it's no longer on the SF list).Any ideas? Pete.
Hi Pete. Yes, you can delete Special Functions by quick clicking on the name to get the menu. Then scroll up on the menu to get to the bottom of it. Delete is down there. It can be hidden when you first see the menu, because of the number of options on it. But if you scroll, or slide with you finger; the menu option will appear.
@@MrD Thanks Darren.It's a FrSky X18,only had it 2 days.Screen is smaller than X20 and I've got old eyes so that's my excuse for missing it!! Thanks again. Pete
i have just got myself a new x18 after owning an accst x10s for a number of years. I have updated to the latest firmware but when going through the menus i don't seem to be able to use r9 flex using the internal module. am i missing something ?. thank you for all the great videos they are invaluable.
No, if the transmitter uses the flex firmware, then that’s what you’ll be using. You won’t see FLEX on the RF page. You can check the firmware used on the System -> Info page. The available firmware versions are EU, FCC, IL, and FLEX. IL doesn’t have 900MHz at all, as it is not allowed in Israel.
@@MrD thanks for the reply Darren my tx is showing that it is EU firmware. When using the ethos suite you don't get any options to choose what you want. How do I change it to flex. Or should I just change the firmware on my rx's to EU. Thanks
To change the type of firmware. You need to download and flash it using the old method. But once it’s updated, it will work fine with ETHOS Suite. You only need to flash the firmware file. Don’t worry about the flash or SD contents. Also, just use the firmware for the latest version. ruclips.net/video/XkVOgo5UUt4/видео.html
Wow, I didn’t think there would still be Windows 32bit OS out there. The actual laptop may be able to run 64 bit. It was a limit of the processor. Unfortunately it would take a full reinstallation of Windows to use the 64bit version (need the 64bit installer).

No, if the transmitter uses the flex firmware, then that’s what you’ll be using. You won’t see FLEX on the RF page.
You can check the firmware used on the System -> Info page. The available firmware versions are EU, FCC, IL, and FLEX. IL doesn’t have 900MHz at all, as it is not allowed in Israel.
@@MrD thanks for the reply Darren my tx is showing that it is EU firmware. When using the ethos suite you don't get any options to choose what you want. How do I change it to flex. Or should I just change the firmware on my rx's to EU.
Thanks
To change the type of firmware. You need to download and flash it using the old method. But once it’s updated, it will work fine with ETHOS Suite.
You only need to flash the firmware file. Don’t worry about the flash or SD contents. Also, just use the firmware for the latest version. ruclips.net/video/XkVOgo5UUt4/видео.html
You just need the X18-FLEX.zip file github.com/FrSkyRC/ETHOS-Feedback-Community/releases/tag/1.3.3
🤢 My old windows 7 laptop can't run Ethos Suite. I get a message 64 BIT WINDOWS required , I guess my laptop is an old steam powered 32 bit. 🥵
Wow, I didn’t think there would still be Windows 32bit OS out there. The actual laptop may be able to run 64 bit. It was a limit of the processor. Unfortunately it would take a full reinstallation of Windows to use the 64bit version (need the 64bit installer).
@@MrD I don't think the hackers think 32 bit exists either as my laptop chugs along merrily without virus's and with external USB storage it's grand 😃
