TX16s Custom Splash Screen, Background Pic, Model for Modern OpenTX Radios

September 17, 2020

https://youtu.be/0DAPUJwCSo0

Learn how to customize your Splash Screen and your Background Pic is this easy to follow article and video by Tahoe Steve.

Hey everybody. Steve here. Welcome to this video on the radio master TX 16 S however, the concepts that we cover in this video will apply to any open TX firmware driven radio. Guess what we’re going to do? We’re actually in a fun stage. At this point. We are going to personalize this thing. We’re going to personalize our, um, splash screen. We’re going to personalize the background. We’re going to personalize it to make sure that, uh, we have a picture of our own model in the little model square, and, uh, things are going to get good. So stick around.

Hey, uh, did you know that this is video 11 in my series on open TX from where driven radios, especially the TX 16 S because it’s new and it’s awesome. Um, yeah. Wow, man. 11, there are 10 videos that pre-seed this video. Here’s a, here’s a quick little glance at the YouTube playlist, so that you can kind of take a quick gaze of this is the first video of mine you’ve ever seen than buckle up baby, because, uh, there’s, there’s 10 more just like it. And there’s going to be more than that afterwards. So, uh, here’s some of the topics that we’ve covered. We started from absolute scratch zero, and we worked our way through some pretty intermediate in some borderline advanced topics. I guess some people would call them advanced, and now we’re kind of taking a break by personalizing the radio. So that’s what we’re going to do in this video. And if you’re interested in any of the other videos, which I hope you are check out the description, because there’s a link to the playlist that will contain all of the videos on this thing. All right. So let’s quit jabbering and get into the guts. I’m going to turn my radio on, Correct. Well, that’s serious . Throw into a warning warning, disarmed angle mode, pitch proportional.

All right. So man, we just flew. We just got hit with a whole bunch of stuff right there. Didn’t we, um, let’s back up the film and evaluating this first image here. That’s the splash screen. It used to say, uh, open T X and I replaced it with this image. This image is, this is the second Quanta ever built. And this was after a very successful flight, a 13 seconds before it crashed into the earth and busted in a pieces it’s very near and dear to my heart. So, uh, that’s why I have this as my splash screen. You may have also noticed the voice of doc Brown as my intro. Uh, that is something that we, we did in video 10, uh, changing the, uh, audio. Welcome. So check out video 10 for that. And then you may have noticed this pretty sunset by the beach. This is my background image. It is pretty here, but it is completely useless once I start putting some stuff up on the screen. So I did this for the purposes of the video, but once we start adding stuff onto the screen, it’s going to be too busy and you’re not going be able to see it anyway. So point being is your background. Your background screen is probably going to be something fairly, blah, that way it won’t interfere with, uh, any information that you may have on the screen.

Okay.  All right. So this is typically how I have my model screen, uh, generally if the picture of my quad and, um, I like to see, um, and my channel thing over here. So you can see that with that, uh, ocean thing in the background, it’s quite busy actually, too busy to be functional here. So, um, obviously we’re gonna probably have to dial this back a little bit. And then the third thing that I wanted you to notice was, uh, this little guy right here, this right here is a custom image that I took of one of my quads while it was in the air. And then, uh, I just kinda threw it in there. So yeah, that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to, we’re going to change all three of those things. And, um, the good news is that it’s not really that hard at all, so let’s get to it.

All right. So whether you do this now or later is up to you, I’m going to do it right now because I’ve got the camera on the TX 16 S I’m gonna grab T4 and T1, and I’m gonna push them together. At the same time, I’m hit the power button to get us on into bootloader mode. And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, then do me a favor and go back and watch some of those old videos. And essentially what we’re going to do here is we’re going to flip this puppy up. All right, we are going to go ahead and plug in our radio to our computer. We’ll get a boot to the boot. And then we’re going to get a couple of windows that are going to pop up here. And those will be essential later. And there they are. So you get two windows that pop up one is the one that the firmware stuff we’re going to go ahead and kill that one.

And then there’s this guy right here. He is going to be very, very relevant in just a little bit, but let’s talk shop. Now, let’s talk about what we need to do. All right. So a couple of prerequisites that you’re going to need to make this whole thing happen. You’re gonna need some sort of photo editing software. Uh, you are going to need the three images, the splash screen image, the background image and the, um, model image. Uh, what you’re going to want to do is you’re gonna want to go into the software. And the first place that I’m going to start is create new now for our splash screen and our background image, you were going to want to create a custom image canvas of 480 by 272. And as you notice, I’ve got that right here because I’ve been working on it. And that’s four 80 by two 72 pixels, by the way.

So go into your software, create a custom canvas and make it four 80 by two 72 and hit create. And it’s about that size. So now what you’re going to want to do is you’re going to want to choose your image. So there’s that. And now I’m going to say file open and I’m gonna grab an image. That’s a really, really that obviously will not fit there at all. That’s what the original image looked like. What I’m gonna do is I’m gonna make sure that my move tool is selected, and I’m gonna grab this guy and I’m going to pop him right here. And as you can see, it’s way too big, that actually might work better than what I had, but just I can show you in, um, and Photoshop, at least, uh, the image is really, really huge. You can see kind of the lines there.

So what I’m gonna do is I’m going to go edit, and this is Photoshop, of course, and I want to go free transform, and that’s going to give me kind of the corner. This will allow me to manipulate my original image without distorting the, um, width and height. It will always keep that width and height. So as cool as the image is running from blue, I might just go like this. Maybe it’d be a little bit less busy. So I’m just going to like that. And this is the, this is the, uh, four 80 by two 72. And I’m going to go ahead and select check. And now I’ve actually got an image that’s four 80 by two 72. All right. So what I want to do is I want to grab this, uh, this is now sized. This is now sized appropriately for that background image. I’m going to go file. And I’m going to go ahead and say, save as, and the file type that I’m going to pick is PNG. I think you can use bitmaps, but don’t quote me on that. And this one I’m going to use as my background.

So I’m going to go ahead and I’m going to name it background, and I’m gonna hit save. And there it is. So that’s one image. Now I’m going to do the exact same thing with the exact same dimensions for my splash screen.

All right. So now I have appropriately sized images for my background and my splash screen. Uh, this time I’m using this, the first quote I ever built earlier, I showed you my second one. This is my first one. And let’s go ahead and close things up here because for our model, we’re going to change things up. Let’s go to create new and this time for the model, we are going to go one 92 by one 14. So one 92 on the width and one 14 on the height and say, go, and now what you’re going to do is you go and take a picture of your quad, and that’s, what’s going to go here and I’m going to go hunt for a quad picture. And, uh, I’ll meet you back here in a second.

All right. So what you see here is to file Explorer folders open simultaneously. These are only three finished images that are properly sized and in the proper format. And here you are looking at the root directory of my radio. This is the radio plugged in via USB and is the root directory. And here is what you’re going to want to do. Your splash image is going to want, you’re going to want to drop that into images. So if I double click on images, you’re going to see all of the images that ship with the radio, but we’re going to go ahead and make ours unique. So I’m just going to go ahead and drag and drop, like, so it’s going to ask if I want to replace the one that you saw in the beginning of the video, I’m gonna go ahead and say yes, and our splash has done go back up.

Now, your background image, you’re going to put that one in themes default. And as you can see, there’s already a background image. There that’s the one I had earlier today. Let’s see if this one is any better in terms of allowing us to have a pretty background and see the stuff in the foreground. I don’t think it will, but nonetheless, I’m going to pop it in there. Like, so, all right. And last but not least is our model, which surprisingly enough, it goes, it’s going to go in images too. So I’m just going to grab this guy right here and I’m gonna drag him. I’m going to pop them in there. And I’m actually going to name him. I’m going to rename him, um, zero, zero, zero AA. So that he appears at the very beginning of the list so that I don’t have to go through the entire list. And that is all you need to do. So let’s go back to, um, let’s go ahead and bring the radio back out and, uh, get this thing set up. All right. So we’re still in USB mode. I’m going to go ahead and pop this guy up like this. All right. As soon as I hit exit, the camera will come back to life. All right. So now when I hit the power button, we should see two out of three of our changes, Serious throughout the little warning warning. They sound angle mode, pinch proportional.

All right. And, uh, we do have our new background image and essentially, uh, for the model image that hasn’t changed yet. What we want to do is we want to go to model and there is our little name, got bumped down, a model image and click on it. And then what I want to do. Well, my little, my little plan of picking the beginning of the alphabet kind of backfired, uh, where is it? What did I call this thing? I think I called it zero, zero, zero AA. And there it is. And now if I go out, It Has changed. There it is. So there is our model image, our background image and our splash screen worked as well. I am going to do another video at some point about setting all of this stuff up right. Here are a little bonus information for you here. Keep in mind that you’ve got two settings here. Go ahead, long press right here. And essentially what we can do is we can use the page button to move over. And essentially that’s the top one. So right now we can click, we can select the other one, click again, and then we’ll go out.

And that changed our theme. So basically now we’ve got a nice dark background for our theme. And if you want to do things like, um, you just want to set up, uh, just, just, just to set up a real quick screen here, I’m a long press right here. I’ll make sure I got layout selected. I’m gonna go over to this one right here and I’m a select it, and then I can get out of it and I can go to set up widgets. And now I’ve got two options. So I can’t really see which one’s highlighted, but I’m just going to select it hard to see which ones selected right now. The left one selected. Now though, now the right one selected, I’m going to go like that, select the widget. And now I can kind of go through me, go ahead and keep my model on that one.

Now I’m going to go back over to the other one by rolling and do that. And I like to see the channels, there’s my channels. And go ahead and go poop, pow and Powell, and get out and get out. And that’s just super, super quick. Um, how you can set up a couple of those widgets. Uh, I’m going to do a full-blown video on all that nonsense at some point. All right. So we changed the theme. So you’re not seeing that background anymore, but just a little bit, little bonus information there for you. Uh, you know, we talk so much about personalizing this thing, but one of the things I haven’t created a video on yet was, um, setting up your widgets, uh, for your primary screen here. So that is it. That’s a wrap on video number 11. I hope you found that beneficial.

If you did, please like comment and subscribe. If you really like the video, go ahead and hit that little bell, because that way you get notifications of future videos that come out and I have 467 ideas, right at the top of my mind for more videos. So you should hit that bell so that you get more, more, more. And if you really, really, really liked the video, do me a favor, tell somebody, tell 10 people tell a hundred people, post a social media, slat, links all over the internet and I would greatly appreciate it. All right. So there’s going to be another video coming up and I’m not sure exactly what it’s going to be quite yet. So, uh, do me a favor stick around and I will see you in the next video later.

TX16s OpenTX Change Audio Welcome Message

September 16, 2020

https://youtu.be/p9qN78k-ozg

Your TX16s can say anything you want it to when you turn it on. That’s what we are going to learn how to do in this article / video.

Hey everybody. Steve here. Welcome to this video on the radio master T X 16 S in this video, we are going to learn how to do this. “Welcome to TX.”

No, I didn’t mean turn the thing on. I meant change that. Welcome. Notice that. Welcome to TX. That’s just so boring and impersonal and you get so sick of hearing it. This radio is so infinitely powerful. Let’s go ahead and change it so that it reflects our personality or something. Hey, did you know that this is like video 10 in my radio master TX 16 S series. Oh yeah. Video 10. We’re starting to get into some of the fun stuff, because we’ve already done a lot of the necessary hard stuff. Do me a favor. Check out this playlist, man. There are nine videos that came before this that are gonna take you all the way from zero to Whoa. I mean, Whoa, zero to, well, I’m just gonna go ahead and leave it there. Um, but right now let’s have a little bit of fun and let’s change this. I don’t know what you call it. This welcome thing so that it’s more personal to our own tastes.

All right. This is what we’re going to do. We’re going to shut her down and let’s go ahead and pop her into bootloader mode by taking, wait a minute. You don’t know bootloader is all right. You need to go back and watch some of those other videos. That’s what I’m talking about. All right. So for those of you who don’t know what bootloader mode is, we’re going to take T4, good take T1 and squish them together. And we’re going to add power Lexa. I was going to go to bootloader mode and it’s could freak the camera out screens really, really bright. And it’s going to basically have this a message here that says write firmware and exit, but that’s neither here nor there let’s flip the sucker up. What you want me to focus it to? All right. I’ll focus it too. All right. So we’ll lift the sucker up.

It gets a little thing up here on the top and you get this little USB-C thingy right there and we’re going to go, boop. Boop. All right. So when we plug our radio into the U S B slot and plug it into our computer, we’re gonna get to windows. We’re going to get this one, which has pretty much nothing. We’re going to do anything with. And we’re going to get this guy right here. And he got a whole bunch of folders and stuff, right? So what we’re going to want to do is we’re going to go to sounds, and then we’re going to get an English. If you speak English, I’m assuming. And then here’s the secret. Don’t tell anybody. Don’t tell anybody. Shh, shh, stop it. Don’t tell anybody I’m going to go to system. We’re going to come down here and we’re going to find one that says hello. And there it is. And we play it. TX sound familiar. Welcome to open TX. What if we go and we look at the properties of mr. Welcome, and we look at the details. We’re going to get any information out of this. We’re going to get a little information as we’re going to get an information that it’s, it’s a wave sound. Okay. And I’m going to give you some more information. So what you want to do is you want to go out to the internet and you want to get whatever audio file. You want anything, whatever you want it to be. Okay. It could be anything. Okay. Let’s assume for a moment that you have taken the time to go out to the internet and you have found your

Perfect. I don’t know what to call this thing. Um, Your audio welcome file. I guess Let’s just call it that. Uh, currently it’s welcome to open TX, right?

So you want to change that. We’re going to call that your audio welcome file. All you need to do is drag and drop it into this folder. Obviously it’s going to be named something different. You’re going to want to rename the hello, like hello, old or something like that. And then name your file. Hello. And then your file. We’re work in place of this one. And when you turn your radio on, it will say whatever your audio welcome file Is. Now having said all that, There’s a couple of things that you might want to check. Number one, your files gotta be a dot WAV file. So if I go here to hello and look at the details, you can see that this is a dot WAV file. Now, one step further than that, not only does it have to be a WAV file, but it has to have some specific parameters. So if you dragged and dropped your hello file into the system file and you tried it and it didn’t work, then that’s okay. We’re going to fix that. You’re just going to need to convert your file into the correct format. And this is how we’re going to do that. So this is where you want to go. You want to go to online-audio-converter.com. And if you’re anything like me, you’re probably a little bit concerned about what you’re seeing here, because it looks a little rinky dank and your suspect, and you have every right to be.

But let me tell you where I got this from. I got this thing straight from the Chrome web store, and it’s got, uh, 300,000 plus users. And a lot of five-star ratings. I will also add that I’ve already used this and I’ve never had any issues with viruses or malware or popups or anything like that. So, uh, use it as your own risk, obviously as my final disclaimer, but it really makes this easy. All right. So what we’re going to do here is we’re going to convert a file. I purposely got this doc Brown file, which is a w M V file, which is going to require an extra step. And that step is converting. It can’t be a WMV file. It’s gotta be a w a V file for the open TX radio to recognize it. In addition, if you find a WAV file and you drop it into the sound’s E N system folder, and you turn your radio on and you don’t hear anything it’s because it doesn’t have the right advanced settings.

So what I’m going to do is not only are we going to do, uh, we’re not only we’re going to convert this into a WAV, but we’re going to convert it. And we’re also going to change the advanced settings so that it works. So let’s just move on doc Brown dot WMV. I am going to select wave. All right, 44. One is fine, but you can’t just hit convert. We have got to go into the advanced settings and there’s two things you need to do. Number one, you need make it mano. And then the other thing is that you need to change the sample rate to 16,000 kilohertz. Alright, if you left it at 44 one, as far as I know it, ain’t going to work. All right. Advanced setting, 16,000 kilos Hertz, and one channel CD quality, that’s fine and convert. And there’s the download. So I’m gonna go ahead and download it and I’m gonna, I’m gonna save the file. All right. Now I’m going to go to the folder on my computer, where that stuff resides. And here is the doc Brown online audio. This is the, this is the fire right here. So what I need to do is I need to rename it. I’m going to rename it. How low?

Okay. Plain and simple. Now I’m pulling up the system folder for the TX 16 S and here is the folder. I’ve got my hello. So I gotta make sure I’m in sound’s E N system. I’m going to grab my hello. I’m going to bring it over. I’m going to drag and drop it. I’m going to replace that original. Hello? Like, so, and now I am going to pull the USB out of my radio, and now I’m going to exit and play my welcome screen thing. What are we calling it? I don’t remember My County ice. And I said, correct. When this baby hits a boss proud. Good. I see some serious , a warning warning. And there it is. We have done it. We have changed it. It is good. Now we can turn the radio off. All right. And so you can see it for yourself. Here we go.

You’ll have to forgive the flickering. That’s the ceiling fan on, up above me. All right. So did you have fun? I had fun. That was fun. It was nice to do something a little bit light for a change. Uh, anyhow, you are looking at the Ray master, TX 16 S beginners, how to series playlist on YouTube and checking out. There’s nine videos up there already. Uh, this has Vinea number 10 and the fun is going to continue in number 11. What we can do in 11, let’s have some more fun in 11, 11. Let’s do, um, let’s do custom splash, screen and background. I think that’s what we’re going to do next. Um, but nonetheless, here is the playlist. Uh, you can find a link to the playlist in the description below. If you feel like you need to brush up on anything, feel free to pick and choose.

And if you want to start from scratch by all means, watch mall. Um, Steve, I hope you’re able to benefit from this video, if so, please like comment and subscribe. And if you really like the video, then, uh, hit the little bell. So you get notifications of future videos coming out. Cause I got like 486 video ideas, like off the top of my head right now. So I guess I should probably write some of these down, but any eight, if you really, really liked the video, then go out on social media and share, share the video, share the playlist, tell the people, tell the people Steve’s making videos. Anyhow, I’m just having fun because this is a fun video and I’m looking forward to the next one. And I hope to see you there till then see ya.

Calibrating TX16S & Using Outputs and Betaflight to fix Endpoints

September 15, 2020

https://youtu.be/el1q_b6HFYY

Calibrating your TX16s and setting Endpoints is a very important step to get your quad flying well. The good news is that between OpenTX on your TX16s and Betaflight, it is very easy.

Hey everybody. Steve here. Welcome to this video on the radio master, TX 16 S actually the things that we talk about here will work on any open TX radio. So, uh, anyhow, um, did you know that this is video number nine and a long series that I’ve got going on this radio master TX 16. S if you came here looking just for outputs, well, I have some bonus material for you. There are eight videos that pre-seed this one, we start all the way back at like zero. We start with, uh, adding a model and binding it, and we go through inputs and mixes and we get to special functions and logical switches and pave flight, loose grips, and all kinds of really good stuff. But, uh, here we are. We’re finally at a point now where we’re set up enough to where outputs are relevant.

And I told you back way back in video, two, we’d get back to outputs and here we are. All right. So for the purposes of this video, we are using the TX 16 S with an fr Skye D 16 protocol receiver. And we’re going to be using beta flight as our flight controller software. And for those of you who are using a different protocol on different software stick around anyway, because I still think that as we are talking about the outputs on the TX 16 S I still think it will be relevant to you without further ado, let’s dive in and figure out what the deal is with our outputs. So the first thing I’m going to do before I mess with outputs at all, is I’m just going to go back to my main screen, and I’m gonna check my trims, my T1, my T4, my T2, and my T3. We’ll make sure it’s centered.

All right. So I’m trim centered, which is wonderful. I like to be trimmed centered. All right. So now I need to go into one of those areas where there is a ton of dissension on the internet, and that topic is calibrating your radio. So let’s dive in and get a little bit further. We’re going to go ahead and long press on SIS, and then we’re going to move over to the hardware screen. And we’re going to select the button right here. And I mean, how easy can this be? It seems like it should be so easy, but there is so much disagreement on the internet about how to do this. I’m just going to go ahead and say this. Some people, okay, we’re going to click this button and we’re going to move all of our sticks to the end points. But before I move this button, some people say you’re supposed to grab the sticks and just jerk them all around and all this kind of stuff.

Make sure you hug all the outside points and stuff like that. Now I have found personally my opinion, one person’s opinion on the internet flaming, if you want to that that methodology is less effective than the methodology that I’m going to use. So let’s go ahead and dive in. First thing I’m going to do is I’m going to select the inner button to start, and it wants me to send her everything. So I’m going to go ahead and take a quick peak here, make sure I’m centered on my throttle. And, uh, it wants me to center everything. So let’s center this guy in center, that guy, and let’s send her these guys right here. And I think it’s even important to center the six position switch. All right, we have no centered everything. So now it’s at the magical button and now it says to move the sticks and the pots and the sliders and stuff like that.

Now let’s go ahead and do the easy stuff sliders. No. So I’m kind of going slow. I’m not jerking them all around. I’m just going slow and end up back in the mid point and my pots all the way to the end, make sure go all the way, the end on both pots and, and back to the middle. And I don’t know if this one’s really important or not, but I’m just going to go ahead and do it just for the sake of doing it now for sticks. I’m going to show you the way I do it. You can take it or leave it. Okay. The reason why I do it this way, and I’ll show you once we get to, um, the beta flight screen, the sticks seem to have the most accurate calibration. So what I’m gonna do is very slowly. I’m going to go all the way up to the end point and all the way down to the end point.

And I might do that twice, but I’m going slow and I’m making sure I’m doing the end points here across until I bang into the side, bang into the side, maybe do it a couple times. Like, so my throttle all the way down, I’m gonna go all the way up. Let me go all the way down to it twice. And then this is the hardest one to do linearly, but we’ll just go to the side and we’ll go to the other side. Make sure you bang up against the edge side aside. Boom. All right. That’s how I do it. Hit enter. And that’s our calibration. All right. Now, with beta flight open, I want to show you a very, very important piece of information. Interesting. How the stuff in bright yellow is, is important. It says configure their channel end points so that all the channels go from negative a thousand to negative 2000 and set the midpoint at 1500.

Okay. That’s what we’re going to do on our outputs channel. So let me bring this guy in here now. And here’s what I meant about accurate. Remember when it said to do the end points at 1500 with calibration that I just did look at my mid points. They’re dead on balls at 1500. I’m not going to have to make any kind of adjustment there at all. And as far as my end points are concerned, watch what happens when I go down. I’m at nine 87. Watch what happens when I go down. I’m at nine 87. Okay. Let’s do the same thing with roll nine 87. All right. So it’s dead on balls accurate, but, but here’s another thing that I want to show you is that when I bring this guy down, pitch pitches down to nine 87 lumberman, ya’ll all the way down. It’s at nine 87.

When I go the opposite wise, they’re both at two, two 11 or 2011. All right. Same thing with same thing with y’all nine 87. Did I just do y’all all right. Same thing with throttle nine 87 to two 11. And what’s the only one we haven’t done roll nine 87 to two 10. Okay. All four of them seem to have calibrated pretty nicely. I don’t know. I’m just saying when I do it the other way and I do it all wonky, crazy. Like I get all different con numbers and to me, that’s kind of a red flag. All right. That’s just one. Person’s why flame me if you want. I don’t really care, but that’s not the point. The point is let’s look at outputs long press here, go to the output screen. And here we are. All right. So what are the rules? The rules are that center point is supposed to be 1500 and then the end points are supposed to be 1,002 thousand.

Let’s start with our aileron. And if you notice he comes down nine 87. If I bring him up this way, he goes to two 11. So let’s go ahead and go to the output screen so that we can fix them zoomed in so that you can see the sticks. And hopefully you can read the outputs and we focus here a little bit. There she is. All right, aileron channel one, move it all the way over nine 87, move it all the way or the other way. It’s 2011. So let’s get busy. And the dead on ball center is 1500. So we don’t have to make any adjustments there. If we did have to make an adjustment there, this is how we would do it. We’re on channel one. We select it, we move over and we would go all the way over to here to the 1500. We would select it and notice as I move it, You can see if I’m at 1491 on the radio. I’m at 1491 on beta flight. Obviously it’s set up good. I’m gonna go back to 1500 and I’m gonna hold there. Right. But that’s not the one I want to change. The one I want to change or the two that I want to change. All right. So notice on aileron and I push over here. I’m at nine 87. Um, I’m supposed to be at a thousand. So how do I fix that? Well, I’m going to grab him. I’ll come over here. So I see nine 87 and I’m gonna go ahead and click on the radio and I’m going to make an adjustment. I need eight, nine 90. Let me make an adjustment until I get to where I’m supposed to be. I gotta click a bunch of times. So I’m just going to get to the sweet spot right there. And I’m going to thousand and my click. Now I’m gonna go to the other end, the other end. I’m at 2011. So let me dial that back. Some Right there, 2000 and clickety clack. All right. So here we go. All the way over. I’m at a thousand all the way over. I’m a 2000 dead center. I’m at 1500. Now I’m going to do that for pitch and yaw as well. All right. So I need, come out, go to channel two over here’s my elevator, my low 0.9 87. I need to click to so that I can mess with it.

93, 94, 95 and a six. There’s a thousand right there. He can see, I can click a bunch of times and stay within the range of a thousand. So I’m just trying to find a middle of a thousand as I can. It seems to be right there. I look at that 97.6, pretty accurate. I’m going to go over here and I’m going to go up to the high position. Two 11. I want to bring it back.

And boom, you’re starting to see a trend here. That’s a thousand. Oh, that’s 2000. That’s 2000. That’s a thousand. Now I’m going to jump to a channel four and I’m going to do y’all next.

All right. Save throttle for last go throttle, throttle down all the ways at nine 87, I can bring this up to a thousand reason why I did throttle. Last is because I want to show you something. Let’s check them channel one. Aileron a thousand, 2000 1500. Let’s check my pitch a thousand, 2000 1500. Let’s check my throttle a thousand, 2000, and there’s not really midpoint there. And then y’all 1,002 thousand and the middle is 1500. Now the one thing you want to make sure of the reason why I did throttle last was, um, with your thought all of a thousand, alright. If this number is a thousand, make sure that your stick low threshold is above that by I’d like to go at least 50, because if your throttle value is not below stick low threshold, it won’t let you arm. I can only say this.

This is the way I’ve been doing it since I started using beta flight. And this has worked for me every single time. And that’s it. I’m going to leave it there. We have now finished video number nine in this series on the radio master, TX 16 S using open TX. Obviously, if you’re using beta flight and open TX, these methodologies can be used on any of the open T TX radios. So do me a favor, check the playlist for the listing of all of the videos that have come before this one and check the description below for a link to the playlist. Everything that I’ve ever learned about open TX I’m sharing. I’ve been using open TX for many, many, many years. I’ve had many open TX radios, and I’m just trying to put forth the information, uh, that has been beneficial to me in all my years of flying. So hopefully found this beneficial. If you did, please like comment, subscribe. If you really liked it, please feel free to share on social media, get the word out. My whole goal with my channel is to take some of these complex topics and explain them in a way that even an absolute beginner could understand. So I’m glad you stuck around to the very end and hope to see you in the next video. See ya.
