Horus x10 Exp Failsafe

Post by youngstar »

Hi,
Just updated openTX to 2.3.14 Isrm to V2.1.6 and receivers to latest firmware R9SX & RX4R only to find Failsafe no longer works with two receivers.
If I turn of either module all works ok on one RX.
Any ideas ?

Hi,
I now know what is happening with the failsafe. This is for two receivers on different frequencies with one receiver as master with servos and the other as slave with sbus out.
When you first apply one receiver failsafe settings the Horus automatically appliess the same setting to the second receiver. If you try to test the failsafe by turning off the TX the receivers apply a HOLD. However, the Logic being if either frequency receiver dies then the other receiver picks up seamlessly and should this receiver also lose a signal then its failsafe settings apply. This does work, so on no account disable one receivers failsafe settings with two receivers on different frequencies.
Its a pitty Frsky could not have explained this!
