S8R & X8R receivers will not bind to Taranis X9D-Plus
S8R & X8R receivers will not bind to Taranis X9D-Plus
I am not able to bind my S8R and X8R receivers to my Taranis X9D-Plus (bought in 2015). I have flashed the latest non-EU firmware to both receivers:
S8R firmware: S8R_ACCST_2.1.0_FCC
X8R firmware: X8R_ACCST_2.1.0_FCC
Taranis Opentx firmware: opentx-x9d+ / version: 2.24 (66bb9c3a) 2019-07-11
When trying to bind, the receiver's LED shows a solid red.
Could the problem be the Taranis' internal RF's module FW? My understanding is that this cannot be updated; however, if it can, I presume my V8FR-II receivers won't work?
Many thanks.

It's likely that, it can be updated and old receivers will still work.

Thanks, for your reply. My Taranis X9D-Plus was bought in 2015. The only FW that I can see, on the Frsky website, is for 'Taranis X9D Plus 2019' and 'Taranis X9D Plus SE 2019' - will this firmware be compatible?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Go to the FrSky site, select "transmitters", then page 2 and select "Discontinued", then you can get the the X9DPlus. Follow that and go to the download page for it and you can find the internal XJT module firmware V2.1.0 that you need.

Many thanks, indeed, for your help. Your instructions worked, perfectly. After the internal XJT module FW was updated, out of interest, I checked a model with a V8FR-II receiver in it and it was fine. Interesting to have telemetry, now. Thanks, again.

Re: S8R & X8R receivers will not bind to Taranis X9D-Plus
I have an early version X9D that does not communicate with the X8R receivers since the XJT v2.1.0 upgrade. The small printing on the Frsky site warns about that possibility. Could we re burn the opentx 2.2.4 firmware to over write the XJT patch. Or have I lost the forest for the trees.

Re: S8R & X8R receivers will not bind to Taranis X9D-Plus
it would be more accurate to say that I can only communicate with DXR receivers and I tried burning firmware 2.2.4 from Companion without the expected change. the rxnum sequence is out of order and I suppose this goes hand in hand with other. Any help will be appreciated.
Re: S8R & X8R receivers will not bind to Taranis X9D-Plus
This has nothing to do with the OpenTX version, but the internal module version. You need to flash that to match the receivers.

Re: S8R & X8R receivers will not bind to Taranis X9D-Plus
I have the same issue which version of internal FW worked? which version of ISRM worked for you? or which opentx and which S6R versions worked?
Re: S8R & X8R receivers will not bind to Taranis X9D-Plus
I have an early Taranis Plus that I tried updating to 2.3.11 and the firmware update worked but then I couldn't bind my X8R receivers. I've since gone back to 2.2.4 on the TX and have updated the internal XJT module and the X8Rs to 2.1.0 and now everything works.
Re: S8R & X8R receivers will not bind to Taranis X9D-Plus
Was likely the receiver/module firmware not matching, not the OpenTX version.
