Unbelievably competent guide to getting the latest software on your tx16. This has to be THE ddefinitive guide to recovering a bricked radio. The only possible improvement would be to show your mouse movements on screen a bit more slowly for those of us who are by this time in unfamiliar terrirory. But hey, this is why we have pause and repeated playback available eh? Well done and thanks a million. You have a new subscriber - RESPECT !

Hi John, I'm really late to the RadioMaster party and purchased a TX16S MkII 4in1 a couple months ago from Grayson Hobby GA. I was able to pick it up in person and when they were giving me the run down. They mentioned you and your RC Video Reviews being the best most comprehensive info out there! Well, IMO they were right because you walked me through Companion and upgrading EdgeTX to Flying Dutchman with not one error. I setup my 1st airplane using your video configuring the S6R w/ 3-axis stabilization. It took a little bit to get to the right menu places in the EdgeTX vs the OpenTX videos, but it worked out find. I'm finding my way around much easier now and have been tweaking the radio with some of your snippets so, I feel better having my 1st successful Airplane flight a couple weeks later. All that being said; I can not find the video where you mentioned A Volume boost "loader" by dropping another sound file into the SD folder. I thought it was mentioned during the Companion install or the EdgeTX update, but I went back to review and can not find it.... Appreciate the help and enjoy your coffee! Regards - Keith aka Simages

Hey Keith, Glad the content is helping you get along with your new radio. You made a great choice. Regarding your question: "Volume boost loader by dropping another sound file into the SD folder." I don't know about any volume boost file that will turn up the volume. What I do know is that the shipping version of Edge on the Radiomaster TX16S MKII used audio files that weren't processed correctly.

Since an EdgeTX bootloader is required to install EdgeTX, and this video is how to upgrade EdgeTX from 2.x to 2.8, I went with the assumption the viewer already figured out how to flash a bootloader and since it's really not necessary to enable any features or the flashing of later versions of firmware, it wasn't necessary for the video.

When pressing power it cycled the 1-6 flight mode lights several times and then nothing. So I used the boot loader log in method and it took me into the write menu. Followed the steps again and it worked the second time. 😂 I’m calling it a night and I’ll pick this back up in the morning. I see I have the Dutchman on board v2.8.4 - the firmware file name changes and by this version it’s name is ; TX16s-da28e35.bin Once again , thank you so much. I use your videos exclusively.

This is actually the one I have on my radio internal RF??? - What is the edge 2.8 companion that we installed used for?? THANKS!!! . Last is a quick comment. In a previous video you showed us how to set the timer to turn "off" the radio: Immediate, 1sec, 5sec etc. I have just played with that a bit and it appears that the set-up also affect the time it take to turn "on" the radio. .

There are no more than one or two minors before a new major release, normally. Nightlies are sometimes unstable, release candidates normally aren't and releases should just work. Some people have used 2.8 nightlies and release candidates for weeks without issues, though I would advise against using nightlies for flying without extensive testing beforehand. Generally speaking, EdgeTX is pretty stable and ready to be used.

I fly 700 class helicopters, 85" Extra NG, 73" Slick, 78" Edge 540, 2x500 class helicopters, and EVERYTHING else I own on EdgeTX. I do not worry about stability. I flew 2.7.1 since May 9th, 2022 with not a single control issue. When it comes to installing new major releases-- I won't lie about it, I wait a few weeks. We don't need to be lemmings if you don't want to be involved in testing. Not everybody does. That said, you can install 2.7.1, take comfort in the fact it is as reliable as firmware gets and never update again if you choose. I can't respond to how often the control portion of the code is touched because I'm not a developer and I don't make guesses like that. My channel is about video evidence. If I can't show it/prove it, I don't claim it as fact. It's quite possible the "control portion" of the code changes nightly--but I doubt it. I know Edge has made a great deal of changes under the hood. Just how much of that influences the control loop of the radio....I don't know. What I do know, is I would take a Radiomaster TX16s MKII, EdgeTX 2.7.1, and Express LRS 3.0 over any other RF tech you could GIVE ME right now. Hands down, full stop.

That sounds to me like your radio settings file got corrupted and was reverted to stock. I bet if you look on your sd card you might see radio_error.yml In any case, once the radio boots up and you change it back, you should be good. I've flashed more copies of Edge this side of the EdgeTX team than just about anybody I know and I haven't seen that happen. So odd problem. Reduced the risk of corrupt radio.yml ruining your day by using a checksum to detect file corruption (i.e. due to faulty SD card, battery going flat in the middle of writing to the SD card). If the settings are corrupt, the radio will now warn you, automatically rename the file to radio_error.yml, and prompt you to recalibrate your analog inputs (sticks, 6POS, sliders, etc) so you have working settings. You can then examine the file later to find out what went wrong. If you want to manually edit the file, there is a new parameter at the top of the file (manuallyEdited) that you can change so the error check is skipped once (see #1481).
@richardcox9711

@@RCVideoReviews Can't see a radio_error.yml file inside RADIO folder on TX16S SD card. Only radio.yml, models.txt and README.txt.

Anyway one of my models has a two switch (SF/SE) 6-position set up and that works OK following upgrade. The manuallyEdited parameter has value 0 in radio.yml. I will be v cautious with first flight of each model and be prepared for re-trimming, copy trims to subtrim again etc. Thanks for response.

John: I have several Radiomaster & Jumper transmitters that have never been exposed to Edge Tx, but I have decided it is time to install this software on them for the first time. My question is, can I follow your instructions in this video verbatim to fully install Edge Tx ver 2.8 and expect it to run on them without special steps or instructions? Your inciteful, clear, and logical videos are phenomenally useful to everyone in this hobby, especially those of us without your wonderful talent for understanding everything you provide training on like this video. Please keep up what you are doing. Now I'm looking forward to exploring Edge Tx on my Radiomaster and Jumper radios! Respectfully, - Jim Eastep

Jim, I'd like to tell you damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead; however, as I'm sure you're aware, life is imperfect. Back up your SD card first. Follow the steps. You should be fine just like the video shows. It's all done on video to show what to expect. If you have to revert: Put the original firmware on the SD card in the /FIRMWARE folder. Boot into bootloader. Flash the original firmware. Copy your backup to the SD card, and you are 100% back to where you started. Appreciate the comment. No guarantees. Also, no trick videography.

Hello¡¡¡ Very comprehensive your explanation¡¡¡ I wonder what happened with the Models file when you overwrite de original one with the new one. Don´t you loose your previous models? Also, when you put the new Sounds file, you get rid of the ones you already had, specially the ones you created or copied from somewhere else. Regards
@RCVideoReviews
Жыл бұрын
There are no models in the models folder from the sd card contents, so no, you don't overwrite anything. You don't get rid of sounds you created--those aren't included in the sound pack. Existing files might be overwritten, but they'll be replaced with an identical file, or one that has been improved. Try it on your desktop and you'll see. This is basic file management.

It's a good idea to keep the MPM firmware up to date with Edge. Sometimes Edge introduces new features like alphabetical sorting of protocols that rely on firmware updates.

Hey there brother awesome video and information, I finally made the switch from OpenTx to EdgeTx by utilizing your previous live stream tutorial. Quick question: Everything transferred over just fine but when messing with my widget layout my TX16S suddenly went into emergency mode for some odd reason, do you know what would cause this or have you ever seen it before? I just powered it down and turned it back on and it was working just fine, but now I'm a little nervous about using the transmitter for flight in fear of a random emergency lockout again. Thanks in advance

Can you repeat it? It's pretty rare to see Emergency mode. If you can replicate the issue you need to tell the EdgeTX devs how.

@RCVideoReviews
Жыл бұрын
You can. It will overwrite anything that's been changed, and add anything new. The only downside of not starting with a fresh sd card is what I call detritus--or abandoned files. When I get a new radio, I usually start from scratch just to clean things up.

Companion is a standalone piece of software that lets you interact with the radio. You can pull the radio configuration and model settings into Companion, edit settings, simulate your setups, and write data back to the radio. It's a fairly comprehensive piece of software that wasn't the subject of the video. I have several Companion videos on the channel if you want to learn more about it.

If your radio is ELRS you don't have an MPM, so it doesn't apply. If you have ELRS, you keep it current with the ELRS configurator.

@RCVideoReviews
Жыл бұрын
When they update the sound pack, sometimes they tweak things like deadspace, peak volume, etc.. If you look at the changelog, you'll see they usually tweak/adjust things: Add GB voices and include JSON index by @howels in #10 README.md modified and some minor translation changes by @SHezinger in #14 rename lowbatt to lowbat in de-DE.csv by @TheIsotopes in #19 chilean spanish pack by @Dr-Gandalf in #22 Added german autorotation voice for heli by @TheIsotopes in #24 Added Japanese voice by @ToshihiroMakuuchi in #33 Add missing Czech sounds by @daleckystepan in #28 Flightmodes shortened, unified and acro added by @SHezinger in #27 fix: Italian translation of 'mode' by @Dosclic98 in #32 Added suggestions for missing phrases and small cleanup by @microraptor in #35 It writes over common files, and skips new files. In the end, that's how you wind up with all the latest sounds. If it suits you, you could delete /sounds on your radio first. I don't do that because I have a metric ton of custom sounds, so I just write over the top and get the new "official" stuff.

Should I be doing something specific so they save in the sd card, no options that I can find to back up model. The closets I could get was to save them as template and they save in the templates folder on the sd card. Thanks
