OpenTX 2.0.20 9XR Pro Bytes Free

Post by PeterV »

This seems a silly question.... I was upgrading a 9XR Pro to OpenTX 2.0.20 (hopefully I got that number/version right) for a friend and I could not find the "Byte Free" (remaining model memory) anywhere on it. In the Model Setup screen it is not on the top line as per a Taranis for example.
I hunted around but could not find it.
Where would I find that?
Thanks.

You don't need it. The 9XR-PRO has 512K bytes of EEPROM and all the models are fully saved without compression so they will all always fit.

Thanks Mike
BUT..... how come you can fill up a Taranis way before 60 models? I guess it has less EEPROM, or spare, than the 9XR Pro ?

The Taranis only has 32K of EEPROM. Even when the data is compressed, this is not enough to store 60 models.

Actually the Taranis is the radio using open source firmware that has less eeprom memory right after the 9x radio, as far as I know.. :)
