I switched to EdgeTX for my daily driver TX16S and can't be happier. Readding the widgets was a small price to pay. It has been solid and the new gui makes editing a lot easier.

At 7:52 you were supposed to be backing up your SD Card, except you did it the wrong way around. Instead of sync from SD Card to local folder, you did local folder to SD Card.
I just flashed my TS16s to EdgeTX following this video. Easy as pie, thanks a bunch. I did want to tell everyone, mainly because I'm new to fpv and this may help someone, that the software defaults to mode 1. So you'll probably get the throttle error on startup (like I did). Just go to the settings and set the default to mode 2 and all will be good. (The EdgeTX github actually mentions this towards the bottom of the page)
Thank you for this video. I struggle with updates, firmware and anything computer assisted. This video walked my thru the conversion with ease.

The open source license (GNU hopefully) already guarantees any prospective developers to take the source and modify it to their will. This ability to fork code is the REAL tech revolution and boom!
Richard Stallman is our father! ... really, there are a lot of debates between gpl and non-virulent licenses, such as mit/apache/lgpl Also, most developers of linux core, for example, are not just guys from the street. They are full-time employers of word-wide companies, including FAANG. I mean, opentx/forks development should be sponsored by rc community and tbs/jumper/radomaster/betafpv/etc companies. This is how real open-source software development nowadays works. Small team of edgetx enthusiasts can bring some nice features, but they will never make this product really nice and solid.
@@JoshuaBardwell So far. If the parent project isn't hostile to the fork developers and their work, why don't they incorporate the changes back into the mainstream ?
The reason for the request was out of courtesy and respect to the developers who have worked on OTX all this time. Because as was pointed out, it was not *necessary*. And ideally, yes, some stuff may be merged back into OTX, and we do push bugfixes and minor changes back to OTX where we find them in common code.
As far as the NV14, there is a bug in the Curves section that the dev's are now aware of. No model or setting conversion available with the Nirvana either. That said, I use that radio for SIM's and the difference between Edge and Open TX is very noticeable. Suddenly Liftoff is nearly as responsive as real world. BIG difference. I imagine the 500mhz stick position polling is also a benefit here. My QX-7 is already switched due to the software inverter fix, the TX-16s will likely wait until 2.6, and it looks like the NV14 will finally get back to the field with that release as well. Thanks to the new Companion software, EdgeTX is ALMOST ready for prime time takeover from OpenTX with my radio's. Good work Dev's!!!
I use the Nirvana for everything... I'm still on the UndergroundFPV firmware as I understand that that firmware had full stick resolution when used as a game pad on a PC. The stick resolution THAT OpenTX gave you when plugged into PC was something daft like a quarter of what you get when used with a receiver.
@@sylvanlight120 It would be interesting if you can give ETX a try at some point - as ETX has resolved latency issues when used as usb joystick as Steve mentioned, and AFAIK will use the gimbals at full res (if you have high res gimbals hall effect gimbals, why the heck not?). Obviously someone has experienced this is the best person to test it ;) Happy days are ahead for the NV14 though :)
@@pfeerick I went to ETX 2.4 on my UFPV Nirvana, but ended up going back as the widgets did not work with telemetry from crsf.. all telemetry appeared and was live and functioning correctly in the telemetry discovery screen, but the widgets showed nothing... would be great to see if the 2.5 update fixes this. I've tried A LOT of radios since getting my UFPV nirvana years ago, and nothing comes close to the build quality and in-hand feel... Everything works fine for what I need with the UFPV firmware that Jakub built, but it would be great to open up all of the functions, so I'll try ETX 2.5 and report back.
@@ryanokeefe12 I suspect you meant 2.5 as this is the first release with prelimary NV14 support ;) Please do let us know on discord or via GitHub issues of anything you find. The more people testing different combinations the better, so we can identify and fix any bugs lurking in the code :) I believe there are some issues with telemetry still, so possible little change there.
I found this very helpful! I had problems with my drivers in my pc, i searched and found impulserc driver repair tool. After i ran that everything was soo easy!
Just switched my daily driver over to EdgeTX as of their 2.5 RCs, and updated to the 2.5 release once it became available, and I don't see myself going back to OpenTX. I was a bit hesitant to try it on the 2.4 release but I feel that it's now almost ready to be the new standard radio OS. I'm hopeful that 2.6 will bring a more complete theming spec as I've already got to work making my own theme for my radio which I might add to the EdgeTX/themes repo once 2.6 drops.
I've found out if you use the regular backup models function in OpentTX companion, you can drag that OTX file directly to EdgeTX companion and it will populate all your models and model settings. But you will still have to separately back up model images.
I installed EdgeTx on my Radiomaster last night took 30 minutes. I acid tested the OS with a fresh plane build. Touch screen cut my timer in half. Function tabs are in logical position. I noticed when you bind a receiver it will warn you to install current firmware. Followed your instructions breezed through the install. Only problem was operator error. LOL, had to keep reminding myself to stop using the jog wheel. Never used companion for any of my Opentx. I’m one of those people that doesn’t trust creating a model in one program and prays everything transfers . I like to see my changes in operation in real time. Well for me too, “Bye Bye OpenTx” Keep up the great work Joshua I learned something again.
I have been flying alot of simulators recently and had issues with getting tight flips. You suggested that it might be something with the OpenTX software. I have now switched and can perfectly hit them even though I am using the same technique. Thanks alot JB!
So my thoughts on egde tx was mite as well I'm new to all this I'm about 3 months in to fpv. The way I see it everything is in a constant state of development so I have no complaints. It's easy to use it looks great the touch screen is great. And it gives me the full 500hgz for my ELRS module. I figured since I have to all this from scratch may as well learn the latest and greatest. I found it easier to flash with the radio and ad card. The configurator was a little technical for my current knowledge level. On a side note thank you JB! I'm ordering the last components for my first custom build tomorrow and thanks to you I feal confident to get it setup and in the air fairly quickly! Pateon discord is the best big thanks!
I got EdgeTx on my QX7. I copied the models folder after doing so, my models do not show up. I’ve since copied the folder? Should I just run the bootloader again?
Thanks for your great videos. You have helped me get back into the hobby. I recently bought a taranis x9lite. I can not find much info on updating to edge tx and how to setup crsf nano module to work with the transmitter. Do you have any suggestions.
Being able to select model via touch is a neat feature. Most of the widget and display stuff won't really help me much *during* FPV quad flight, since I'll have goggles stuck to my face. The backend stuff like 500mhz polling is great. There's likely a few other improvements for in flight performance, and touch screen might be useful for fixed wing in flight or even for using the radio settings outside of flight. My biggest concern with touch screen would be accidentally touching it during flight. Granted, highly unlikely.
I installed EdgeTX a few weeks ago and it is really really good. Thing I noticed was the trims the sub trims option was missing and also TBS agent lite was not touch screen compatible. Although that is probably a TBS thing more than an EdgeTX thing.
Looks like Edge TX v2.6.0 (Santa) is available. I see that Edge Tx teams are also working with TBS which is good to hear. I just picked up the TBS Tango 2 Pro (V4). All steps in the right direction. 👍👍👍
*Swiftly jumping to update after watching that gripping intro, following step by step, updating* - Joshua at the end - "But will I switch my daily driver..? I'm still not sure."
There's a few more details on It's Bluntys video, can't quite remember the title... But as long as you have an ELRS module and are using 500hz it will be enabled, and/or have NO internal or external modules selected for a model you use specifically for a Sim, along with 400k Baud rate, the latency is drastically reduced to the 4ms which is 500Hz polling. Don't 100% quote me on this as I'm still fiddling with settings myself, but this is what I have understood from a bunch of research and googling... All the information is spread over a few forums a RUclips vids
I bought a TX16S a few months ago and put EdgeTX on it right away. I wanted to try the touchscreen but mainly wanted 500mhz for ELRS. I really like it. I've encountered zero problems and encourage anyone to make the switch if they want to. Their Discord is friendly and happy to help if you have questions or a problem.
Since you can't pick and flash firmware in EdgeTX companion and the devs don't plan to implement it, how do you choose options in your firmware like "noheli", "squartfont", and "elrslua"?
I was super skeptical because I hadn't noticed any latency in the link with my pc using my qx7. Always bet on Bardwell, I upgraded and the improvement is instantly noticeable!
Could have done with this 3 weeks ago. It has been out for a while JB - where have you been :-). More seriously, this version works very well, no issues which interfere with normal flying that I have come across, apart from the way resetting trim works in comparison to OpenTX. Also you did say that touch screen has been around for some time on the TX16S, not necessarily true, only on the product lines which come with the touch screen. Dont expect that every TX16S's screen will suddenly burst into touch-screen life just because you install Edge TX.
Very true. I purchased my TX16S without the touch screen, and then added it later. However, unlike that Jumper T18, adding touchscreen support was actually an option :-/
Touchscreen control! :o I so missed that when I moved on from my old Turnigy TGY-i10. Ah nuts, that means if I want that I'll have to replace my T16... hmm cheaper to live with the clunky interface of the T16.
Honest question: I use the Tango2, and aside from using MyVTX to switch channels when flying with the boys, I never access the the menu (that is, if you don't count selecting to charge or to update firmware). Unless you're flying aircrafts with an advanced Ardupilot interface - why is having that huge screen, with touch capability, so attractive? I struggle to see what people are doing with their TV sized screens. EDIT: I guess that if you could configure your quad through a Betaflight-like interface through your radio, that would be incredibly cool and useful. You'd need a big screen for that!
@@ojkolsrud1 i do exactly that, i fly quads, but also fly fixed wing and Ardupilot vehicles. I run the Yaapu telemetry screen, and unless I KNOW that it will work just fine on Edge TX, I'll hold off on switching...
I just did this today on my TX16s. The sound files show up in the sounds file but it doesn't show them when I go to set a PLAY TRACK option for arm, disarm and my flight modes??? Just says No Files On SD Card... but I can see them when I go to SD Card then sound file... I can even listen to them... Any help would be awesome. Thanks
3 года назад
Thank You, Josh, i was waiting for this and if you do not alert me, i dont know about... you saved me... again
Hey my friend Isaiah here from Clarksville TN. I switched over to EdgeTX! I went to use my TX16S on velocidrone with the FrSky XSR-SIM USB Dongle. I got it working on OpenTX but on EdgeTX there is no internal module selection so I can't set the SIM model correctly.
I installed EdgeTX on my radiomaster TX16S and I love it! But I have a question... where in the menu can we configure TBS Crossfire settings? It's not in the Tools section of the System settings anymore? Or do we have to do it via LUA scripts oldschool?
I was also hesitant to use a nightly for 500hz support but it’s worked just fine for me. I get that silly warning each time I power up my radio but no biggie.
I recently purchased the Radiomaster TX-16s Mark 2 Max. My previous radio was the TX-12. This weekend I set up all my models to the new TX-16 and all bound all my receivers. Unfortunately the 3 Frsky S8R receivers are having issues with the Gyro set up. The receiver controls work, the gyro is stuck in 1 mode plus will not calibrate with ch 12 position switch or change modes with ch 10 switch. I updated the firmware on both the receiver and radio with no luck at all. All 3 of these receivers work on the TX-12 with older firmware. Is this due to edge Edge? My radio is set for edge-Companion 2-8-1 and the frsky S8R rec firmware is 2.1.2.
Followed your instructions and successfully converted my TX16S to EdgeTX, thanks Bardwell! Using the SD card reader is definitely much faster. Losing the widgets after update was quite alarming at first but easily added with my touch screen! I can’t seem to find the theme’s tab that looks like a paint brush I’ve seen else where… maybe I preserved the wrong file?
Kemosabe Yes the Edge TX it is worth the upgrade and the very likelihood of continued regular advances is more than likely with Edge TX, while open TX will sputter out with an similar upgrade like Edge TX in order to feed those waiting for years but open Tx will likely go back into hibernation more than anything else. After all that's their M O .
Hallo I need your help I have xm+ and r9m mod elrs. Before I install firmware edge tx everything normal. But after I use firmware edge tx my receiver not binding (xm+ and r9m mod elrs). What should I do? Thanks for answering 🙏
Thank You Joshua for the very hepful walk through this is why Your The Man done it for a Customer not Sure if I want it on My TX16s yet lol Thanks again and have a Great Day I learn Something
Heya JB do you have a link for setting up using companion? its been three years for me and I'm a little rusty. using and x9d+ now on edgetx. My models are there but the setting I think are no longer. Also the Wizard is a pain selecting multirotor.
I'm a line-of-sight, fixed-wing warbird RC pilot. The radio and software are simply tools for me to fly toy airplanes (ie, the radio and software are not hobbies for me themselves). I love the features that OTX provides, compared to Spekky and other TX/RX providers. I have been on a Jumper T16 for several years, and just bought a RadiomasterTX16S. I've already ported everything from my Jumper over to my RMTX16S. I've been debating whether to stay OTX or make the jump to ETX. Honestly, I don't care about touch screen (and actually don't like the idea of fingerprint smudges being all over my screen, if I need to sneak a peak during a flight). The faster response from the gimbals doesn't seem to be important to me as fixed-wing warbird flyer. Long preamble... sorry. So, if you don't need a touch screen and don't see a need for the faster gimbal response, what other key performance improvements should I consider when trading OTX against ETX? BTW, even being a fixed-wing guy, and not a rotory-wing guy, I find your content very informative, and I appreciate it.
ive noticed after couple months after switching. I don't have my crossfire menu on my tx16x, where you can set you power it only says spectrum what file do I need thanks josh
The videos are great. I wish i had found this while trying to flash edgetx lol. I am first time user with tx16s and edgetx. I am looking for how to create my quad model. Do you have a video that highlights that first model setup?
in model setup, in the inputs tab, add the inputs you want using the SRC (source) field to the channel you want them on, and in the mixes (output) tab, the mixes just need to be activated by clicking on them and exiting out as the default is fine.
I had successfully converted to Edgetx.I can see the visual indicator for the battery level of the radio.But I can't see the value. Is it a settings issue? Thank You.
I just switched over :) very painless. One thing that wasn't mentioned in the video that might be important to some...there isn't a way to get a build that is noheli lua like in OTX. If you want that you will need to compile your own image. Not in my wheelhouse so I'll just need to live with the heli screens. If you're using logical switches and special functions, they may not work without fixing some things. I have some LSs that warn about low flight batt voltage which sense whether you're flying 4s or 6s so one model works for all quads. I had to do some clean up to get that stuff working again.
I’m a newbie with the Radiomaster. I did put Edgetx on my radio a month or so back but panicked and switched back. Why? Because there’s nowhere near the support with EdgeTX yet to help someone like myself when in trouble or just learning, not like there is for OpenTX
As in? As for most things with EdgeTX, you can still use OpenTX tutorials and guides, as the interface and functionality shares a lot from OTX still... in a few more versions you may have some trouble with stuff looking and behaving differently, but shouldn't be *that* different atm.
Not true. Whole different flasher that kinda sucks. And he's probably stating that people know alot more about open TX and alot more videos on RUclips to help him than there is on edge. Just a guess
Thanks for this Joshua. Much appreciated. As a new guy to the hobby I've learned something every day I've watched your videos. Would you recommend a guy taking his new unused tx16s and going straight to the edge TX?
Hi, my first action on my TX16s when I retired my iX12 was to install EDGE TX when it just comes up, so my first bind was on EDGE TX. So fare I’m 100% satisfied!
Does the EdgeTX Flasher app not work anymore? IIRC, it will prep the sdcard, assist with sound pack, and flash the correct firmware for your radio. That's what I've been pointing others towards. I mean, this works fine and is what I do but the Flasher looks easy as pie. To answer your question, I've been on 2.4 for a month and now 2.5 for the past week flying long range every day over unrecoverable areas and the radio firmware is not at all a concern to me.
It does work just fine, but sometimes people have trouble with the DFU driver so I sometimes choose to steer people towards the SD card method. Either one is fine.
Yes, the flasher app does still work, however many new users were confused with selecting the correct firmware, sd card contents, and the DFU issues (which are mostly worked out now) etc.. so we are re-structuring the UI to simplify it. So for the time being, we are recommending that users use the bootloader method as JB demostrated until the re-vamped flasher is complete. Plus, the bootloader method always works and really is the quickest way once you know how to do it.
I gave it a try the other day and it looked like the iNav Lua telemetry was running a bit laggy and slow. The font was appearing a bit strange too. Not sure if they have to iron out a few bugs but I decided to revert back to OpenTX for now as I use the iNav Lua script for all my planes!
There is an updated version of the inav widget to fix colors and lag issues on ETX, so make sure you're running the latest version of it. I have had betaflight configurator working on TX16S and T-Lite.
@@runforitman My scroll wheel is broken, bought a replacement but it doesn’t seem to work as well.. you are saying i can even control the lua scrips with the touch screen?
Very good video. Thanks. I have a small problem on my taranis x-lite pro: the crossfire lua and tbs agent lite are both work not good: when I enter the script, not all settings are displayed in the general options tab, only "multi bind" and "region" options
"on my taranis x-lite pro" I'm about to flash this onto an x-lite pro, I noticed the only firmware in the firmware zip was xlite and xliteS. Which of those 2 did you use?
Hi Josh Great video on Edge TX, I am thinking about it. I just don't know if I should wait to see if any issues were to come out. Then I would have to switch back ? I just don't have a great reputation for downloading from my computer. How many times have I asked for help. Also I have a old X9D and a Xlite radio and would it help me with anything ? I just don't know yet. But Thanks again for the information on it.
If you're happy with what you got, and the changes in edge tx aren't that exciting, than just stay out with what you've got. I almost never mess with radio settings anyway, just flying.
Hi Joshua and thank you for the video. Quick question - will touchscreen in EdgeTX allow screen keyboard usage? Or typing is still done with wheel button?
Hi JB, i have a question. i'm using Open TX right now, and ELRS Modul installed . if i flash into Edge TX , should i repeat all ELRS binding process from begining ?

I’ve got one of the very first Jumper T16S with the JumperTX firmware. Can I flash firmware straight or do I still need to solder/program bootloader and what not? Thanks!
How do you lock/disabled the trims on the transmitter in Edgetx? Like how opentx wouldn't let you just use the trims without going into the menu or however it was. It was probably only when a quad model was selected.
@JoshuaBardwell Will the Edge Tx 2.5 work with a Frsky rx8r Rx. Will this combination work with 120-130cc gassers, will i have interference. Given my "Rx bay" is about 2' aft of my ignition. I am about to purchase the Tx16s Max.

Joshua, I am waiting on my TX16S MK2 and the FW200 to go with it. These will be my first serious RC items, and now that EdgeTX is up to 2.7, should I load it on the radio (after backup) before I create the model for the FW200? Alishanmao has a good video for the FW200 bind and setup. Will EdgeTX be much different? Thanks for all the videos, I have definitely learned something from every one.
I have found a discontinued X9D Plus radio from 2015 !! Is there a way I can upgrade this TX with the latest Firmware OR will it not work and I'm stuck with the firmware that's on it ?? TY
BACKUP SD card! 'Only from source to designation' is from computer to radio. I think, it should be vice versa. Even that small point has been changed in EdgeTX. There it is local folder and radio folder.
I also have an issue with my quad pulling alot more Volta than what it should. I'm trying brand new batteries but im still only getting like 2 minutes of flight time before it drops me to like 20 or 19 volts with it jumping from 22 volts to 18 with a powerloop. Im flying the Roma v5 and ive changed the motors thinking maybe I had one pulling to much . Could it be my capacitor? Will at grason hobby says it could be my flight controller. I have had just small crashed. Please help!! Idk what this could be.
Joshua, days ago I asked you for your opinion on which controller was good to buy for the first time and to practice in simulators you told me that the radiomaster tx16s was fine, thanks for your recommendation. I bought the TX16s at getfpv and I'm just waiting for it to arrive home, can you recommend me at least 2 simulators that are good, one for free and one that I have to buy.
I do have an edge tx on my nirvana and i have a question: how do you calibrate endpoints? Or do you even need to? Also how to disable filtering, if there is any

I want to clarify that a fork does, in fact, require permission from the developers, but that the permission is granted in the open source license.
Richard Stallman is our father!
... really, there are a lot of debates between gpl and non-virulent licenses, such as mit/apache/lgpl
Also, most developers of linux core, for example, are not just guys from the street. They are full-time employers of word-wide companies, including FAANG. I mean, opentx/forks development should be sponsored by rc community and tbs/jumper/radomaster/betafpv/etc companies. This is how real open-source software development nowadays works. Small team of edgetx enthusiasts can bring some nice features, but they will never make this product really nice and solid.
Nevertheless, it is nice when there is not active hostility between the parent project and the fork.
@@JoshuaBardwell So far. If the parent project isn't hostile to the fork developers and their work, why don't they incorporate the changes back into the mainstream ?
The reason for the request was out of courtesy and respect to the developers who have worked on OTX all this time. Because as was pointed out, it was not *necessary*. And ideally, yes, some stuff may be merged back into OTX, and we do push bugfixes and minor changes back to OTX where we find them in common code.
As far as the NV14, there is a bug in the Curves section that the dev's are now aware of. No model or setting conversion available with the Nirvana either. That said, I use that radio for SIM's and the difference between Edge and Open TX is very noticeable. Suddenly Liftoff is nearly as responsive as real world. BIG difference. I imagine the 500mhz stick position polling is also a benefit here. My QX-7 is already switched due to the software inverter fix, the TX-16s will likely wait until 2.6, and it looks like the NV14 will finally get back to the field with that release as well. Thanks to the new Companion software, EdgeTX is ALMOST ready for prime time takeover from OpenTX with my radio's. Good work Dev's!!!
I use the Nirvana for everything... I'm still on the UndergroundFPV firmware as I understand that that firmware had full stick resolution when used as a game pad on a PC. The stick resolution THAT OpenTX gave you when plugged into PC was something daft like a quarter of what you get when used with a receiver.
@@sylvanlight120 It would be interesting if you can give ETX a try at some point - as ETX has resolved latency issues when used as usb joystick as Steve mentioned, and AFAIK will use the gimbals at full res (if you have high res gimbals hall effect gimbals, why the heck not?). Obviously someone has experienced this is the best person to test it ;) Happy days are ahead for the NV14 though :)
@@pfeerick I went to ETX 2.4 on my UFPV Nirvana, but ended up going back as the widgets did not work with telemetry from crsf.. all telemetry appeared and was live and functioning correctly in the telemetry discovery screen, but the widgets showed nothing... would be great to see if the 2.5 update fixes this.
I've tried A LOT of radios since getting my UFPV nirvana years ago, and nothing comes close to the build quality and in-hand feel... Everything works fine for what I need with the UFPV firmware that Jakub built, but it would be great to open up all of the functions, so I'll try ETX 2.5 and report back.
@@ryanokeefe12 I suspect you meant 2.5 as this is the first release with prelimary NV14 support ;) Please do let us know on discord or via GitHub issues of anything you find. The more people testing different combinations the better, so we can identify and fix any bugs lurking in the code :) I believe there are some issues with telemetry still, so possible little change there.
@@pfeerick Yep, sorry naive assumption
I tried 2.5 RC1 and then RC3 👌👌
The only thing I noticed is i have a models folder, but no radio folder. Qx7s access, I took the sd card out. What am I missing?
I found this very helpful! I had problems with my drivers in my pc, i searched and found impulserc driver repair tool. After i ran that everything was soo easy!
Thank you very much! After 2 weeks of trying with OpenTX, Im finally able to bind my Jumper T16 with my Tinyhawk Freestyle!
Wait, I took a hiatus for 4 years and now we have EdgeTX. I have a Taranis QX7 with OpenTX. Is it worth the upgrade for the QX7?
Upgraded my QX7 to EdgeTX today, mainly because I've got ELRS gear coming and I want to be able to use it. Great guide, thanks!
I am using qx7 acess with edge tx flashed in it and elrs 2.4ghz… it works flawlessly
Just switched my daily driver over to EdgeTX as of their 2.5 RCs, and updated to the 2.5 release once it became available, and I don't see myself going back to OpenTX. I was a bit hesitant to try it on the 2.4 release but I feel that it's now almost ready to be the new standard radio OS. I'm hopeful that 2.6 will bring a more complete theming spec as I've already got to work making my own theme for my radio which I might add to the EdgeTX/themes repo once 2.6 drops.
Well everyone else has AI's and robots who download everything for us.
OMG thank you. Radio ordered. I will take it out the box and update to edgetx.
I've found out if you use the regular backup models function in OpentTX companion, you can drag that OTX file directly to EdgeTX companion and it will populate all your models and model settings. But you will still have to separately back up model images.
The AI's do all the work for me.
I'm using facial recognition and voice commands and robots.
Yet you have been replying by hand to every single comment above.
I just succesfully converted my jumper t lite to Edgetx! Thank you Josua! Now i will try the sims and feel the diffrence.
It feels a little more direct.
I installed EdgeTx on my Radiomaster last night took 30 minutes. I acid tested the OS with a fresh plane build. Touch screen cut my timer in half. Function tabs are in logical position. I noticed when you bind a receiver it will warn you to install current firmware. Followed your instructions breezed through the install. Only problem was operator error. LOL, had to keep reminding myself to stop using the jog wheel.
Never used companion for any of my Opentx. I’m one of those people that doesn’t trust creating a model in one program and prays everything transfers . I like to see my changes in operation in real time.
Well for me too, “Bye Bye OpenTx”
Keep up the great work Joshua I learned something again.
I was only waiting for Companion support. I'm now 100% sold on EdgeTX.
I have been flying alot of simulators recently and had issues with getting tight flips. You suggested that it might be something with the OpenTX software. I have now switched and can perfectly hit them even though I am using the same technique. Thanks alot JB!
O.O
So my thoughts on egde tx was mite as well I'm new to all this I'm about 3 months in to fpv. The way I see it everything is in a constant state of development so I have no complaints. It's easy to use it looks great the touch screen is great. And it gives me the full 500hgz for my ELRS module. I figured since I have to all this from scratch may as well learn the latest and greatest. I found it easier to flash with the radio and ad card. The configurator was a little technical for my current knowledge level. On a side note thank you JB! I'm ordering the last components for my first custom build tomorrow and thanks to you I feal confident to get it setup and in the air fairly quickly! Pateon discord is the best big thanks!
I got EdgeTx on my QX7. I copied the models folder after doing so, my models do not show up. I’ve since copied the folder? Should I just run the bootloader again?
I have switched a couple days ago. really enjoying it
Thanks for your great videos. You have helped me get back into the hobby. I recently bought a taranis x9lite. I can not find much info on updating to edge tx and how to setup crsf nano module to work with the transmitter. Do you have any suggestions.
Being able to select model via touch is a neat feature. Most of the widget and display stuff won't really help me much *during* FPV quad flight, since I'll have goggles stuck to my face. The backend stuff like 500mhz polling is great.
There's likely a few other improvements for in flight performance, and touch screen might be useful for fixed wing in flight or even for using the radio settings outside of flight.
My biggest concern with touch screen would be accidentally touching it during flight. Granted, highly unlikely.
Switched a couple weeks ago and It's working great!
I installed EdgeTX a few weeks ago and it is really really good.
Thing I noticed was the trims the sub trims option was missing and also TBS agent lite was not touch screen compatible. Although that is probably a TBS thing more than an EdgeTX thing.
I've never owned a laptop and never intend to ever.
Smart TV's have taken over.
70 % of your audience isn't listening to you.
Looks like Edge TX v2.6.0 (Santa) is available. I see that Edge Tx teams are also working with TBS which is good to hear. I just picked up the TBS Tango 2 Pro (V4). All steps in the right direction. 👍👍👍
*Swiftly jumping to update after watching that gripping intro, following step by step, updating* - Joshua at the end - "But will I switch my daily driver..? I'm still not sure."
Hey Joshua! You mentioned 500hz gimbal polling, is that active by default? Thanks
There's a few more details on It's Bluntys video, can't quite remember the title... But as long as you have an ELRS module and are using 500hz it will be enabled, and/or have NO internal or external modules selected for a model you use specifically for a Sim, along with 400k Baud rate, the latency is drastically reduced to the 4ms which is 500Hz polling.
Don't 100% quote me on this as I'm still fiddling with settings myself, but this is what I have understood from a bunch of research and googling... All the information is spread over a few forums a RUclips vids
I bought a TX16S a few months ago and put EdgeTX on it right away. I wanted to try the touchscreen but mainly wanted 500mhz for ELRS. I really like it. I've encountered zero problems and encourage anyone to make the switch if they want to. Their Discord is friendly and happy to help if you have questions or a problem.
Touch screens are SO 2000's.
We have smart speakers these days.
You talk to the planes.
Voice commands.
Since you can't pick and flash firmware in EdgeTX companion and the devs don't plan to implement it, how do you choose options in your firmware like "noheli", "squartfont", and "elrslua"?
I was super skeptical because I hadn't noticed any latency in the link with my pc using my qx7. Always bet on Bardwell, I upgraded and the improvement is instantly noticeable!
Could have done with this 3 weeks ago. It has been out for a while JB - where have you been :-). More seriously, this version works very well, no issues which interfere with normal flying that I have come across, apart from the way resetting trim works in comparison to OpenTX. Also you did say that touch screen has been around for some time on the TX16S, not necessarily true, only on the product lines which come with the touch screen. Dont expect that every TX16S's screen will suddenly burst into touch-screen life just because you install Edge TX.
Very true. I purchased my TX16S without the touch screen, and then added it later. However, unlike that Jumper T18, adding touchscreen support was actually an option :-/
This is amazing!!!! I can finally do 500Hz ELRS on my QX7. Thanks for another great video.
Touchscreen control! :o
I so missed that when I moved on from my old Turnigy TGY-i10.
Ah nuts, that means if I want that I'll have to replace my T16... hmm cheaper to live with the clunky interface of the T16.
Honest question: I use the Tango2, and aside from using MyVTX to switch channels when flying with the boys, I never access the the menu (that is, if you don't count selecting to charge or to update firmware). Unless you're flying aircrafts with an advanced Ardupilot interface - why is having that huge screen, with touch capability, so attractive? I struggle to see what people are doing with their TV sized screens.
EDIT: I guess that if you could configure your quad through a Betaflight-like interface through your radio, that would be incredibly cool and useful. You'd need a big screen for that!
@@ojkolsrud1 i do exactly that, i fly quads, but also fly fixed wing and Ardupilot vehicles. I run the Yaapu telemetry screen, and unless I KNOW that it will work just fine on Edge TX, I'll hold off on switching...
Where did you get those white thumb stick ends????? I'm a thumber and I think those would really help me out!
Racedayquads
I just did this today on my TX16s. The sound files show up in the sounds file but it doesn't show them when I go to set a PLAY TRACK option for arm, disarm and my flight modes??? Just says No Files On SD Card... but I can see them when I go to SD Card then sound file... I can even listen to them...
Any help would be awesome. Thanks
Thank You, Josh, i was waiting for this and if you do not alert me, i dont know about... you saved me... again
Hey my friend Isaiah here from Clarksville TN. I switched over to EdgeTX! I went to use my TX16S on velocidrone with the FrSky XSR-SIM USB Dongle. I got it working on OpenTX but on EdgeTX there is no internal module selection so I can't set the SIM model correctly.
I installed EdgeTX on my radiomaster TX16S and I love it! But I have a question... where in the menu can we configure TBS Crossfire settings? It's not in the Tools section of the System settings anymore? Or do we have to do it via LUA scripts oldschool?
As of 2.5, EdgeTx is my daily driver on TX16S.
Still running OpenTx on my T12 and probably won't ever update it unless I really need to.
I put edge tx on my Jumper T-lite a month or two ago when I sold all my tbs gear for Elrs and I wanted the 500hz goodness without using a nightly
I was also hesitant to use a nightly for 500hz support but it’s worked just fine for me. I get that silly warning each time I power up my radio but no biggie.
@@sketchpv3080 Agreed and that warning was enough for me to swap to Edge TX.
@@sketchpv3080 Whats a nightly?
I recently purchased the Radiomaster TX-16s Mark 2 Max. My previous radio was the TX-12. This weekend I set up all my models to the new TX-16 and all bound all my receivers. Unfortunately the 3 Frsky S8R receivers are having issues with the Gyro set up. The receiver controls work, the gyro is stuck in 1 mode plus will not calibrate with ch 12 position switch or change modes with ch 10 switch. I updated the firmware on both the receiver and radio with no luck at all. All 3 of these receivers work on the TX-12 with older firmware. Is this due to edge Edge? My radio is set for edge-Companion 2-8-1 and the frsky S8R rec firmware is 2.1.2.
Followed your instructions and successfully converted my TX16S to EdgeTX, thanks Bardwell!
Using the SD card reader is definitely much faster. Losing the widgets after update was quite alarming at first but easily added with my touch screen!
I can’t seem to find the theme’s tab that looks like a paint brush I’ve seen else where… maybe I preserved the wrong file?
I have the smart TX.
@@dreyn7780 are you a bot?
@@JLfpv yea its a bot
Thanks Josh for a smooth transition of my radio. very nicely explained and I am happy to see my radio touch screen working now.
What is the 500mhz for ELRS? Is that on an X9D+ also?
Kemosabe Yes the Edge TX it is worth the upgrade and the very likelihood of continued regular advances is more than likely with Edge TX, while open TX will sputter out with an similar upgrade like Edge TX in order to feed those waiting for years but open Tx will likely go back into hibernation more than anything else. After all that's their M O .
Hallo I need your help
I have xm+ and r9m mod elrs. Before I install firmware edge tx everything normal. But after I use firmware edge tx my receiver not binding (xm+ and r9m mod elrs).
What should I do?
Thanks for answering 🙏
Thank You Joshua for the very hepful walk through this is why Your The Man done it for a Customer not Sure if I want it on My TX16s yet lol Thanks again and have a Great Day I learn Something
Heya JB do you have a link for setting up using companion? its been three years for me and I'm a little rusty. using and x9d+ now on edgetx. My models are there but the setting I think are no longer. Also the Wizard is a pain selecting multirotor.
I'm a line-of-sight, fixed-wing warbird RC pilot. The radio and software are simply tools for me to fly toy airplanes (ie, the radio and software are not hobbies for me themselves). I love the features that OTX provides, compared to Spekky and other TX/RX providers. I have been on a Jumper T16 for several years, and just bought a RadiomasterTX16S. I've already ported everything from my Jumper over to my RMTX16S. I've been debating whether to stay OTX or make the jump to ETX. Honestly, I don't care about touch screen (and actually don't like the idea of fingerprint smudges being all over my screen, if I need to sneak a peak during a flight). The faster response from the gimbals doesn't seem to be important to me as fixed-wing warbird flyer. Long preamble... sorry. So, if you don't need a touch screen and don't see a need for the faster gimbal response, what other key performance improvements should I consider when trading OTX against ETX? BTW, even being a fixed-wing guy, and not a rotory-wing guy, I find your content very informative, and I appreciate it.
ive noticed after couple months after switching. I don't have my crossfire menu on my tx16x, where you can set you power it only says spectrum what file do I need thanks josh
The videos are great. I wish i had found this while trying to flash edgetx lol. I am first time user with tx16s and edgetx. I am looking for how to create my quad model. Do you have a video that highlights that first model setup?
in model setup, in the inputs tab, add the inputs you want using the SRC (source) field to the channel you want them on, and in the mixes (output) tab, the mixes just need to be activated by clicking on them and exiting out as the default is fine.
Спасибо!
I had successfully converted to Edgetx.I can see the visual indicator for the battery level of the radio.But I can't see the value. Is it a settings issue? Thank You.
I just switched over :) very painless. One thing that wasn't mentioned in the video that might be important to some...there isn't a way to get a build that is noheli lua like in OTX. If you want that you will need to compile your own image. Not in my wheelhouse so I'll just need to live with the heli screens. If you're using logical switches and special functions, they may not work without fixing some things. I have some LSs that warn about low flight batt voltage which sense whether you're flying 4s or 6s so one model works for all quads. I had to do some clean up to get that stuff working again.
Just keep on going over to Xbox conversion.
Smart technology is the future boys.
I just say "hey google, start my plane", and it does.
Hi Joshua
congratulations as always for your videos !!
do you know where I can find the stl file for the sticks of your TX16S?
I’m a newbie with the Radiomaster. I did put Edgetx on my radio a month or so back but panicked and switched back. Why? Because there’s nowhere near the support with EdgeTX yet to help someone like myself when in trouble or just learning, not like there is for OpenTX
As in? As for most things with EdgeTX, you can still use OpenTX tutorials and guides, as the interface and functionality shares a lot from OTX still... in a few more versions you may have some trouble with stuff looking and behaving differently, but shouldn't be *that* different atm.
Not true. Whole different flasher that kinda sucks. And he's probably stating that people know alot more about open TX and alot more videos on RUclips to help him than there is on edge. Just a guess
Thanks for this Joshua. Much appreciated. As a new guy to the hobby I've learned something every day I've watched your videos. Would you recommend a guy taking his new unused tx16s and going straight to the edge TX?
Thanks for a great review! I believe it may be time to hop over to Edgetx
Hi, my first action on my TX16s when I retired my iX12 was to install EDGE TX when it just comes up, so my first bind was on EDGE TX. So fare I’m 100% satisfied!
You're satisfied with dumb technology?
Don't you want voice commands?
There is no good solid not buggy voice alternative. What happens when the speaker doesn't pick up and your aircraft becomes a set of flying knives?
Does the EdgeTX Flasher app not work anymore? IIRC, it will prep the sdcard, assist with sound pack, and flash the correct firmware for your radio. That's what I've been pointing others towards. I mean, this works fine and is what I do but the Flasher looks easy as pie.
To answer your question, I've been on 2.4 for a month and now 2.5 for the past week flying long range every day over unrecoverable areas and the radio firmware is not at all a concern to me.
It does work just fine, but sometimes people have trouble with the DFU driver so I sometimes choose to steer people towards the SD card method. Either one is fine.
Yes, the flasher app does still work, however many new users were confused with selecting the correct firmware, sd card contents, and the DFU issues (which are mostly worked out now) etc.. so we are re-structuring the UI to simplify it. So for the time being, we are recommending that users use the bootloader method as JB demostrated until the re-vamped flasher is complete. Plus, the bootloader method always works and really is the quickest way once you know how to do it.
Dose edge tx support the Inav widget, Tbs agent light or Bata flight
In general, I think any lua script that runs on OpenTX will run on EdgeTX. Agent lite I can 100% confirm.
I gave it a try the other day and it looked like the iNav Lua telemetry was running a bit laggy and slow. The font was appearing a bit strange too. Not sure if they have to iron out a few bugs but I decided to revert back to OpenTX for now as I use the iNav Lua script for all my planes!
There is an updated version of the inav widget to fix colors and lag issues on ETX, so make sure you're running the latest version of it. I have had betaflight configurator working on TX16S and T-Lite.
@@pfeerick ohh thanks for letting me know man! I’ll make sure to update the iNav widget then!

Hi Josh Great video on Edge TX, I am thinking about it. I just don't know if I should wait to see if any issues were to come out. Then I would have to switch back ? I just don't have a great reputation for downloading from my computer. How many times have I asked for help. Also I have a old X9D and a Xlite radio and would it help me with anything ? I just don't know yet. But Thanks again for the information on it.
If you're happy with what you got, and the changes in edge tx aren't that exciting, than just stay out with what you've got. I almost never mess with radio settings anyway, just flying.
Hi Joshua and thank you for the video. Quick question - will touchscreen in EdgeTX allow screen keyboard usage? Or typing is still done with wheel button?
On screen keyboard was enabled in 2.5.0 ;) But you can also use scroll wheel... Best of both worlds ;)
If you have Edge 2.4 on the TX16S and you go to 2.5 running Crossfire will you have to rebind to models if you saved them.
Maybe the "Receiver number changed when updating"...
"Model Setup"
"External RF"
"Receiver" (Number)

looks pretty good, the nirvana screen is a bit small and dim but it looks a lot like that.
How do you lock/disabled the trims on the transmitter in Edgetx? Like how opentx wouldn't let you just use the trims without going into the menu or however it was. It was probably only when a quad model was selected.
It should be the same as in OpenTX I think.
@JoshuaBardwell Will the Edge Tx 2.5 work with a Frsky rx8r Rx. Will this combination work with 120-130cc gassers, will i have interference. Given my "Rx bay" is about 2' aft of my ignition. I am about to purchase the Tx16s Max.
hello, thanks for the video...:) sorry for noob question.When you switch to edge tx on tx16s, do you need to bind your quads again ?? thanks :)
No, you don't. Make sure you carry forward your models though so you don't lose them.

thanks for this info JB! now this will be on my todo list on QX7.
Joshua, I am waiting on my TX16S MK2 and the FW200 to go with it. These will be my first serious RC items, and now that EdgeTX is up to 2.7, should I load it on the radio (after backup) before I create the model for the FW200? Alishanmao has a good video for the FW200 bind and setup. Will EdgeTX be much different? Thanks for all the videos, I have definitely learned something from every one.
I have found a discontinued X9D Plus radio from 2015 !! Is there a way I can upgrade this TX with the latest Firmware OR will it not work and I'm stuck with the firmware that's on it ?? TY
BACKUP SD card! 'Only from source to designation' is from computer to radio. I think, it should be vice versa.
Even that small point has been changed in EdgeTX. There it is local folder and radio folder.
For the Frsky X9D SE, what does this mean? What benefit would I be getting? Are there any issues with Crossfire modules and receivers?
Here are some concrete benefits: ruclips.net/video/nAK7UNYSRMY/видео.html
I also have an issue with my quad pulling alot more Volta than what it should. I'm trying brand new batteries but im still only getting like 2 minutes of flight time before it drops me to like 20 or 19 volts with it jumping from 22 volts to 18 with a powerloop. Im flying the Roma v5 and ive changed the motors thinking maybe I had one pulling to much . Could it be my capacitor? Will at grason hobby says it could be my flight controller. I have had just small crashed. Please help!! Idk what this could be.
Joshua, days ago I asked you for your opinion on which controller was good to buy for the first time and to practice in simulators you told me that the radiomaster tx16s was fine, thanks for your recommendation.

Adjust endpoints in the OUTPUTS screen.
ADC is usually in the HARDWARE screen. Not sure if the Nirvana has it or not.
