It is no longer the Taranis radio FrSky, first name or "plus" version, which is found regularly on the model aircraft lands. But do you know which firmware version you are using it: 2.0.9? 2.0.18? 2.0.19? 2.1.7? EU version? Non EU? LBT? LBT not? No idea ? OpenTX released some time ago now a new "major" version of its firmware for among other things the FrSky Taranis (this firmware also runs on 9XR of Turnigy example). Talking version "major" because much of the code was rewritten, new features have appeared, and in some cases, we had to skip backward compatibility.
Before using this new version 2.1, it will take a number of precautions. Indeed, it is not a simple update but a migration. Your existing models will be so converted, you will also, in some cases, take the configuration of the failsafe and telemetry, and a new bank will be used and the "Wizard" to create a model which code has changed. If the first 2.1 versions were to the more courageous, since the 2.1.7 version, the code is now stabilized and this firmware can be used by all to everyone on his Taranis.
As always, there is nothing complicated about this migration, we must however follow the steps one by one, in a certain order. This is what we'll see in this tutorial.
Before looking in more detail the new features of this version 2.1, keep in mind that the main reason for migrating is the scheduled stop updates version 2.0. The 2.0.19 version is expected to be the last of this branch, but "big" bug detected. So if you want to take advantage of fixes and improvements, innovations - new features, support new protocols, etc ... - it will be imperative to go through versions 2.1.
New in this branch 2.1 are both looking features side than on the side of the graphic representation of information to display. Failsafe management has been improved and the telemetry section has been completely revised. New features include global functions or the ability to flash the internal module of the Taranis as well as receptors or plug S.PORT (eg X4R receivers or X8R) through the pines of the rear module radio.
Here is a list of new features until version 2.1.7:
Improved graphic representation of TRIM.
Taranis - 2.1Nouveau Telemetry system.
Added support for the X9E Taranis.
Adding the Bluetooth support (on X9E Taranis).
Adding a third timer (TIMER3).
Adding new methods of tuition and wireless schooling.
Adding global functions.
Adding special function: Screenshot.
Added the ability to flash the firmware internal module and external modules S.PORT.
Added quick access to different sources menus and inter (by category).
Improved management of Failsafe.
Possibility of a complete reset of the radio from the "Version" menu.
Viewing the output of a channel in the MIXER tab.
Ability to name inter (switches) physical, the pots (potentiometers) and sliders.
Ability to read the name of the model, from a .wav file when selected.
Adding protocol support "Crossfire" TBS via pine S.PORT the rear module.
During this migration to version 2.1.7 (the latest at the time of writing this tutorial), know that models on the radio will be converted to 2.1 format, you will not be able to go back after migration, unless you have previously saved your models.
Telemetry part having been rewritten, when migrating your models, you will lose all your customizations related telemetry, it will redo them later.
Finally, the bank of sounds you use version 2.0 is not compatible with version 2.1, it will be necessary to copy a new SD card to your radio. Personally, I was disappointed by the French synthesized voice chosen for the French sound bank 2.1, so I recreated a sound bank from the channel "Julie" (the same used by default in version 2.0). This sample set is downloadable in this tutorial.
If you wanna purchase some rc drones or gadgets, you could choose Banggood, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide affordable prices, such as walkera battery, mini cp helicopter, etc.
