@FrSky
Why are „FLIGHT MODES“ not listed in the MDL Menue if i create a new „AIRPLANE“? I can find „FLIGHT MODES“ only in Custom, Gliders and Helikopters (Software: 1.2.14).

Here is the public github for bug/issue reports, as well as suggestions: https://github.com/FrSky-OS/X12S-bug-report

IN 1.2.18, can i overide a selected channel through SPEC FUN ?

Not yet, but you can do it through EX MIXER.

Hi,

I just move from opentx to frOS to try. Am using D4R with 1s lipos.
On telemetry screen ... why is the RxBattery showing 1v while the voltage A1 is showing 4.1V.
I set the ratio for both to be 4.0...

How to get RxBattery to show receiver voltage ?

Jonathan

On my beautiful new X12S there doesn't seem to be a "Stick Mode" item any longer on the System Menu - as seen in some of the review vids. Has this been moved (secret menu?), or is stick mode change now disabled?

I believe it's been in the model menu for quite a while.

Long press rtn and it will show up.

Thanks for the replies, but 'Stick Mode' isn't on my Model menu. Long press of RTN seems always to give me Channel Monitor.

I answered you question where you posted on the other thread. if you keep asking the same question on more than one thread it gets confusing.

Mike

Sorry Mike, !'ll check the other thread. Thanks for your help.

Could you tell me ?
How à have rssi on channel, for an osd rssi on miniosd ?

Are you running opentx ? If so, go to the telemetry screen, do a scan for new sensors and you should see RSSI popping up. Once that is done you can set up a RSSI input, with RSSI source, and subsequently use that input on a channel in the Mixer. Use weight 200 and 100 offset and it should be ok. If you are familiar with doing this on the Taranis it is exactly the same, except the step to scan for new sensors which is new.

I'm sorry I can't help you if you run FrSky OS.

I was under FrTx, when I asked the question, but now I passed under OpenTX because a lot easier.
thank you for your reply.

Well said I never use a momentary switch the only thing I can think it could be used for is to start a timer but you could use any other switch just the same, plus what's so hard about swooping a switch to whatever type you want.

Where can I find sounds to add to my Horus radio?

Three questions:
1.) I have updated the FrTX OS Firmware to 1.2.20 from 1.2.15 which was on my Tx. I was hoping this would correct an error message that comes up when I try to delete a copied model. Maybe I'm just not doing it correctly: I select (from my main screen), SYS>MODEL SELECT>Scroll to copied model>Highlight copied model>scroll to delete>select delete>answer delete warning with OK, and then nothing gets deleted.
2.) I have created a Custom model in an effort to be able to get Flight Modes, but can't figure out where the Flight Mode Trims get set. In the Flight Mode section the Flight Modes have been named but there is no place to set the desired trims. In Trim Setup, F.MODE SEPR has been selected and i can select the flight mode desired on the main screen using the three position switch selected for Flight Modes, and I can set trims using trim switches, but they do not get saved and must be re-adjusted each time the radio is shut down. Is there any way to save the F.Mode trims?
3.) Is there any way to be able to have Flight Modes and DR/Expo? I've
tried to do it in Airplane mode but then there are no F.Modes. In Custom, I get F.Modes but no DR/Expo

Hi!
Is there a bug with the Horus's system time? I noticed it with the stock version and it is still there after I updated the firmware to 1.2.18 beta. The system time always resets to 2065 when you turn the radio off. Is there an internal clock battery that might need replacing? Anyone else seen this. I know it's not a huge deal, but it does bother me. :>)

Scotty

Fixed! I don't think it was in the instructions I had, but to set the system time you have to turn the power off instead of using the "Return" button. This is inconsistent with the rest of the programming and hopefully can be fixed in a future firmware. Also, holding down the "PageUP" button will lock the screen and you will be unable to get out of the screen until you hold down the "PageUp" button again. It takes a lot of clicking the "PageUp" button to go from 2065 to 2016 since each click only takes you to the previous month. It would have been nice if the default year was more like 2015. Anyway, it's not a big deal but would add a bit of polish to the OS.

Sorry Briant, following your instructions I can delete a copied model without problems.
The wheel around the SELECT Button is very sensitiv, are you sure that you didn´t touched the wheel in the very last moment...

Hans S
The attempted deletion of the copied model happened the first day I got the Horus. It came with Firmware version 1.2.15. after I figured out that that was a known problem fixed in the newer Firmware, I then updated to the new 1.2.20 version. The problem is I can't get rid of that particular model. I believe I can delete models entered after the update just not the one Created before the update.

Just delete the bad model from the SD card by using a PC then, if the Horus is having trouble with it. Then all should be good.

DH106,
That did it!
Thank You
Brian

Great - all sorted.

Tried to add the amber sound pack to my Horus today and had to copy the files in the track folder to get the Horus to list the sound in the special function meny...

But my problem is that it will only list the first 101 sounds in the folder, the last sound file it will select is the ele2flp sound...

any clue on why this is?

The last I new the FROS was limited to 100 sounds.
My info is old by a couple of months, I have not tried on 1.20.

Thanks. Solved it by removing all the sound files I will never use.. I find it strange though that there are a limit on the number of sound files allowed..hopefully this limit will be removed in a future update..

FrSky is aware that a few people feel that way.

I have decided to stick with FrTX OS until Open TX matures. I'm running 1.2.15. I'm hoping they make it so you can put a tracks/model folder on an SD card and it will just pick them up from there.

Wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Remove the tracks folder entirely from the internal flash drive when I turn off then back on the transmitter I get horrible loud static noise coming from the speakers until I add the sound back and turn it off/on then its fine. Now i'm not sure if that has anything with removing that folder or pluggin/unpluggin a usb cable. At first I thought the battery went too low and caused it but when I charged it up, it was still doing it the next day until I added the sound folder back..

Hmmm. I thought Open was the more matured and developed of the two...

You can use your sd card. Mp3 in Music folder and audio tracks for alarms in tracks folder (not sure if thats the correct name) and they will appear in the system.

What I mean is until Open TX is past pre-release, not stating that FrTX OS was more matured.

Hi Pilots, have a question ...where do i find documentation on installing FRSKY OS on my Horus, a few months ago when i first got it i loaded OpenTX which i dont like since it isnt mature enough, please show me a site for beginners on how to install the Frsky os on to the horus.
any info greatly thanked

Why not load a current version of OpenTx first. It's a lot more mature and functional than the FRSKYOS.

The instructions to install FRSKYOS seem to be here

http://www.frsky-rc.com/download/vie...20Instructions

OpenTx is very much more mature than FrSkyOS. The currently available version of OpenTx for the Horus is not supported by Companion....yet.
But FrSkyOS has no Pc/Linux/Mac programm to help you for FrSkyOS and FrSky has not shown any intention of ever doing so, at least publicly.

But using OpenTx over FrSkyOS or visa versa, is more about what you are comfortable with.

FrSkyOS gives you a fairly conventional menu driven system. It has some extensions which take it beyond what I experienced back in my JR days,

OpenTx is very,...well, Open...It allows you to do things that menu systems do not approach. It requires a shift in your way of thinking. But it is a very logical system.

I prefer OpenTx, but you have the choice. My way, OpenTx, is right for me, but may not be for everyone.

YMMV

Thanks guys for the info, will take it to heart if i keep Opentx

Hi!
I previously posted that the system time on my Horus would always reset to 2065 after I turned it off. I seemed to have gotten it to save the time so I posted that it wasn't an issue. Now it seems to be an issue again. The time is now reset back to 2065. I did see a video where the Horus was taken apart and noticed one of the boards had a watch battery on it. I can only assume that this is for the system time. Since I don't want to void my warranty, how do I get the battery replaced? If I do it myself, will I void the warranty or do I have to send it somewhere to get the battery replaced?

Horus does not use GPS to set the time. It seems like your system time issue is RTC data lost. Under what circumstance did this happen?

FrTx does not use GPS for setting TX -time, OpemTX does it with Horus. At least my experience.

First of all I am sorry for my "terrible" English
In my Horus I have the following problems:
(firmware FRSKY 1.2.15 and Beta 1.2.20)
in mode1 Glider normal tail, the rudder trim is not working.
In mode1 Glider V-tail, does not work the elevator trim.
Important note: you need to check on the MONITOR screen or with a receiver and servos because in the main screen trim seems to work.
Have you any suggestions?
Another important note: In mode1 Airplane V-tail and normal tail the trims the work regularly.
So I think that the hardware is working properly, it is a software bug?
Thanks for your attention.

Is there any way to add F.Modes to the Custom model menu, or does something like that require a new Firmware update?
I need to have both DR/Expo and F.Modes. While both can be had in Helicopter mode, the F.Modes are not customizable in Heli mode

It occurs every time I turn off the TX. I'll turn on the TX, set the time and turn it off. When I turn the TX back on, the time is reset to 2065. there's been a few times when the time is correct after I turn the TX back on, but most of the time, it is reset when I turn on the TX.

If it was a Taranis I would advise replacing the RTC battery on the mainboard. Not sure if Horus has one or if it does the same job but it might be worth a look.

I saw a YouTube video where the Horus was opened up and it showed a small battery on one of the boards that looks just like a watch battery. I am thinking that the battery is dead, but I am not sure if I open it up to change the battery will it void any kind of warranty I might have.

It would have been really funny if the time was resetting to Nov. 5, 1955 instead.

Opening the radio can't void the warrantly, it's necessary for normal user functions like mode change and some stick adjustments. It does need to be done with care as its easy to pull cables from their connectors. There's a video somewhere I think I recall showing the procedure, can't find it with a quick look though. Someone might know where it is.

Be aware that the battery should not be flat in a new radio and if it is it might be an indicator of a more serious issue with the radio that needs attention. Have you contacted your dealer about the matter?

All other functions seem to work fine. I will check the RTC battery to see if it is dead or not. Either way, I'll contact the vendor that I purchased from to see what they can do.

Thank you for the information. I haven't used it yet with a plane, but I have been setting up an Open class sailplane with it when I noticed the RTC issue.

I’m trying to program the Horus with the FrTX OS in Glider Mode. Does anyone know how to operate a motor using a switch rather than the throttle stick? The manual does not explain anything about this under the Motor Menu. I can do it in OpenTX with my Taranis but so far I can’t find the equivalent of an offset setting for motor.

Hey guys, I normally run a dsmx hack module in my teranis for my bind n fly stuff and noticed in FrOS dsm2 dsmx is not there but there is a + ppm and a -ppm. Should I be using one of these or is it only going to work in opentx?

I opened the Horus up today and checked the RTC battery and got 3.08 volts, which is where it should be. I put the battery back in the radio and put the radio back together. I turned on the radio and the time was reset to 2015 and not 2065. So I set the system time to the current date and time and turned off the radio. I waited all day and turned the radio back on and the time is still correct! It looks like the battery was not properly installed or not making good contact.

Hack module won't work in FrTx.

I thought the new release was supposed to be able to use both internal and external antenna at the same time? I tried to set it to do so, but there wasn't such an option the the system or model menu.

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

chewy

I believe when you select external, both are active.

Got my Horus this afternoon, and am playing with it tonight. One thing I cannot figure out for the life of me is how to see the time for the timers..I want to set up a countdown timer, starting at 10 minutes, and counting down to 0:00, but I cannot get the "time" field to highlight no matter what I do.

Coming from OpenTX on the Taranis, I want to give FrSky OS a chance before I flash it over.

I have highlighted timer one from the model screen, and hit enter, where I can select the type of timer, how I want it to start, etc, but I just can't adjust the starting time.. I must be missing something simple.

The FrskyOS was supposed to be simple and compete with the Futabas and Spektrums of this world.

Frsky invested a lot in the software, consequently pushing up the cost of the Horus. A couple of beginners I know are shifting to OpenTX for its sheer power and elegance. I do not have much data, but suspect the FrOS strategy is not paying off.

Time will tell . . .

FrOS looks like a bad futaba rip-off. I tried it quickly but did not like the looks and the structure. Comparing to OpenTX with widgets it really lacks a lot. I think a beginner can get used to OpenTX rather quickly and it would be better to fully learn how to setup mixers themselves rather then through black-box predefined model configs....

If I were a new guy looking to buy a decent transmitter, I would go the following way : ( of course I am an old fox steeped in OpenTX and the Frsky ecosystem. .)

For the price of a competing brand, I would buy a Horus AND a Taranis Plus.

Would buy a bunch of receivers and sensors. All would work with both Txs.

Load OpenTX on the Taranis, visit OpenTX university, read Mike Shellim's excellent tutorial. . . and lots of stuff available online.

Use Companion to program a foamy or expendable craft. Test out thoroughly on Companion and the model and then go fly.

Load OpenTX on Horus and program the same craft on Horus and again fly.

Spend some time on these forums. Contribute to the Devs at OpenTX.

Again fly. Build confidence. Start converting fellow flyers to this new religion . . .

very simple: you have to go back to Home Screen - then highlight timer - enter - ... thats it. (Look at page 14 of Horus User Guide)

When I do that, it goes to the setup screen, where I can change my trigger for the timer and such..that's why I am lost. I may just flash OpenTX and get back to something that makes sense.

Setting up a plane wasn't to bad, though I do miss the power of OpenTX

The manual is your friend on that. It describes all the modes and how to set them.

Ok, so I sat down and figured out what was going on. Unlike OpenTX (and most every radio I have had since my first computer radio with a timer, JR 10S, MANY years ago) instead of actually adjusting the time in the upper left corner of the countdown timer screen, you adjust it in the right hand "Alarm" column.

I was expecting to adjust the display time in the upper right, and then have the ability to set an alarm prior to it expiring. For example, have a 10:00 minute countdown, with an alarm at 1:00 minute to go, like I can in OpenTX.

The manual is sadly lacking, though I understand it was written when the hardware and software were both in an early beta, and will (hopefully) be improved as time goes on.

Set a switch to reset the timer-alarm setting (to adjust the time), refer to the picture below

I am able to set up models just fine in FrSky Os, but can't get .wav files to announce switch positions. All my wav files are well under 100k and are in the tracks folder. I have assigned their names to switches on the special functions page. I have turned on various sounds on the sounds page. The speaker works for various beeps.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any pointers you can give this newbe.

In Special Functions is there a check mark in the box after the SF line number?

Mike

Yes, Mike. The box is checked. I suspect that there is something wrong with my track files. They are .wav, but are 16000 and not 32000 whatever's, and I saw somewhere that they needed to be the higher number. I created the files with Audacity, first at 32000, but the files were all over 100k, so I went to 16000 to get them smaller.

Should I use another method of producing track .wav files, perhaps text to speech?

Try this example that is a known good working FrTX OS track sound file example. You will need to unzip it. Also see sample Special Function screen.

Mike

All my Horus .wav files seem to be 16K, which might explain the slightly 'muffled' tone when compared to the 32K samples of the Taranis. If there's no reason not to (renaming?), I might copy over the Taranis files and use those.

Mike,
None of those .win files are in either the main memory or the chip of my new Horus.
I have spent about 20 hours trying, so figured that I had messed up the system. Though it works to make models, so I tried to flash the latest firmware. - couldn't make that work either.

I then ditched my downloads and tried to download firmware again from frsky, but the download now doesn't contain the .bin file.

Maybe it is down for upstate....
Or maybe I am too old for this...

You lost me.

The zip file I provided contains a sample known good wav file to put in your SOUNDS/en/TRACK folder on the Flash Memory drive. You need to unzip it first.

The Sample Special Functions screen was just so you had a example of how the Special Functions are used and how the RateHigh.wav file was used on SF4. Just something for you to use to test your sounds.

Mike

Sorry, Mike. I see your file now.
I tried it and it works, so something is wrong with my .wav files.
I created them wits Audacity on my Mac and though I had it right. There s not much to do wrong.

Thanks for sticking with me.

Also, I have seen conflicting info about whether to flash with .bin or the other format. Which is correct? I can't find ?ib in the firmware folder on the frsky site.

Heyward in Virginia

Oops, make that .bin and not ?ib in my last post. I have one arm in a cast and it cramps my typing.

This morning, I downloaded Audacity to my PC laptop, thinking tht doing it on a Mac and transferring to the PC was causing the .wav files to be corrupted for the Horus. I made new .wav files and loaded them to the removable chip. The radio still plays your file but none of mine.

Are there settings for Audacity that I don't know about? I used both 32 and 16 khz.

And I shall look at the flash instructions. Thanks.

I've used a fairly old version of Audacity to produce both 16K & 32K wav files and both work fine for me on the Horus. So I suspect that you're correct and that there's some setting somewhere that's making them incompatible.
I'm not sure if there are any filename length or character restrictions, but you could try renaming them to something short & simple e.g. 'xxxx.wav'
Failing that - if you upload one of you .wav files for me to have a look at I'll try determine why it isn't working.

I don't use Audacity, but you know that sounds go on the Flash Memory drive in SOUNDS/en/TRACK right?

Mono, 16bit and PCM are the defaults.

Thanks, Mike;

I found the .bin file this time and successfully updated my OS on my Horus.
But nothing I try gets my .wav files to speak. I am encouraged that your file works, however.

So, i would like to send you one of my files, created by a fresh version of Audacity for Windows. I run Win 10 on a Toshiba laptop.

But I don't see how to do that. When I drag it to the attached files pane I get an error - invalid file notice.

I do put the .wav files in the Sounds/en/track folder on the removable chip, and the .wav that Mike sent me is in with mine and works just fine.

I use 16khz and mono, but don't know what PCM is. I don't see any such setting or preference for that. Could that be the problem?

I have an appointment now, so will check back in a few hours.

Thanks, everyone.

Use Export Audio and in the Save as type drop down you should see "WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM". Select that and save..
Tom

Thanks, Tom;
but that is what I use.
Still no sound from my files.

I will re-visit after a luncheon honoring Veterans - I am a VietNam Vet.

Hi FrSky RC and Everyone.
just got the Horus and love it.
Currently running FrOS and don't really want to change it.
BUT, From looking in the menu and the manual,
I understand there is no way to set a switch that reads the current time.
When setting voice in the timer, it reads every round minute but
sometimes I want to know the current time when flicking a switch,
i.e that radio will read with voice "Four minutes and 20 seconds remaining" - instead of me needing to look in the radio screen.

even looked in Special Function menu, when choosing play value and assigning a button to it, there is no option to choose Timer1 or Timer2 - Like OpenTX have.

Can this be added? Am I missing this somewhere?

Thanks,
Guy.

DH,

I would appreciate your taking a look at one of my .wav files to see what I am doing wrong. I have tried for three days to get one to play on my Horus. The .wav Jet Flier sent works fine.

Can you tell me how to send you a file?

Thanks.

.wav files are not supported by the forum, so you need to either zip them or just add a supported file type after the ".wav" so it would look like like "some sounds.wav.txt" you need to be in advanced mode and you will see a box below the reply box with the text "+ Drag Files Here or Click to Browse". Click the box and browse for the file. Double click or select "open" and your file will be attached to your post.

Happy to look at a file for you.
As Tomkfly says, you need to rename the file so that it doesn't end in '.wav' - the simplest way being to add '.txt' to the end of the existing name. Then click the [Go Advanced] button at the bottom right, then use the 'paperclip' button to add the file renamed as an attachment to a reply.

Thank you DH and Tom;
Here is the .wav file titled, FlapsUp.wav with txt on the end.
I look forward to what you discover, boy do I look forward to it!

Heyward

Format is fine, save the files in audacity without any metadata and try again.

Thanks, Allerhopp,

I usually clear the metadata before saving, but I cleared this one again. Still, it does not play.
On the other hand, the .wav file Mike sent me works just fine, so the Horus is ok. In the special functions menu line, I just substituted one for the other to minimize other possible issues I have tried three programs and two computers. I can't understand this. Any ideas?

You have seven characters in the name, I believe 2.2 only allows 6.
Tom

That's an OpenTx 2.2 restriction though, not FrTx?

FRTX allows 9 plus the .wav, according to the manual, and the names of the sounds do show up in the TX, just not the sound.

I will reduce the size anyhow, just to be sure.

That will be later, I am going out to fly on a beautiful fall day.

This is the FrTX thread.
