Cannot bind X7 with receiver X8R and S8R

Post by Raythegreat »

Hi,

I'm helping a friend with a binding problem. He cannot bind the two receivers X8R and S8R with his Taranis Q X7.

Here is the info he game me:

Taranis X7:
FW: opentx-x7
Version: 2.3.7
Date: 2020-03-28
EEPR: 219

INTERNAL RF setup:

No external module, only internal.
MODE: XJT D16
CH1-16 (18 ms).

Is the XJT D16 OK? I thought the XJT was only used for an external module.
If this is the case, how can I obtain the D16 option without the XJT? We tried and cannot get D16 alone.

Firmware issue? internal RF module issue?

Please advise,

Thanks,
RTG.

The recievers and internal tx module must all have compatible firmware available from Frsky. This can be a challenge. At least for an older X9D there is no combination of tx and reciever firmwares that will run all my recievers.

These are separate from opentx.

Thanks pmullen503

But my question was more: Do I need the RF mode set to XJT D16 or only D16 to bind with X8R receiver?

Thanks

:D In Companion for 2.2.4 and 2.3.9 both internal and external RF modules show 'FrSky XJT D16'.
On the tx my QX7 shows' D16' on 2.2.4 for internal.
Not sure if this helps.

Hi there
Same problem with an r-xsr receiver
Before it worked but after updating open tx, internal module and receiver I can't bind them.
Hopefully we find the solution and if I can make it work I will post it right here

What did you use for firmware for the Tx XJT module?
If you used EU/LBT for the tx, all rxs have to be EU/LBT.
If you used FCC for the TX, all Rxs must be FCC.
The version numbers must also match.
If you used version V1 for the tx, all receivers using D16 must also be V1.
If you used version V2 for the tx, all receivers using D16 must also be V2.

There is no known way to know what version of firmware your rxs have except to flash them with the firmware you want AFAIK.
