I'm really glad you guys liked it! I thought to put an extra effort on that because it might contribute to an easier fruition of the video! Glad to see that was the case!
Jb u just made my day.i been using unifys long time but had this nano 32 for months an just had a need to use it to upgrade my beta 95 x pusher an I could not get it to show up in my agent lite. I seen a article today that said they ship with crisf but your the only one I found that says smart audio.thank God for Jb.now I can put this thing back together thanks for being you JB.as always I learned something.happy flying
If you put the channel and power on aux-channels and use knobs, you can basically do this on any Smartaudio VTX. It will select the channel and power as soon as the receiver gets the Aux signal. If you have set up the quads the same and use the same radio you can just turn the knows on the radio to the desired vtx settings on one quad and if you plug another in it will use the same as soon as it gets the radio signal.
Josh, you couldn't have explained that any better. I have just purchased the unify pro32 hv and a friend of mine (who also knows stuff like you 😆) said to wire it directly to the nano rx instead of the fc. How right he was.... Great video mate...I actually learnt something today... at the age of 51!!! Mick 🇬🇧
I thought it did as well, but it seems like it's either not working on my quad, or the SA from BF continues to overrule it. Either way, can't get it to start up on a different channel then it was on previously.
@@JekleFPV If betaflight can still control the VTX then it is wired up incorrectly - if done correctly BF can no longer control the VTX at all (it's bypassed/not wired up - so no more VTX tables needed either - A good thing!), it's done entirely threw CRSF/SA, directly from the reciver to the VTX, controlled by either the LUA scripts or ya fusion goggle module, best of luck!
@@Ryet9 I hooked up the unify pro32 nano on the mounting board together with the crossfire rx, still hooked up the SA pad to the FC, kinda hoping that would work. If it doesn’t, there’s no point in using the crossfire/SA config apart from not having to go through the menus in the vtx
I found the same thing, but it seems like it only works on the pro32 hv, because my old unify hv wont show up (I cannot change the channel sadly). Is there anything else to set or are those just too old?
Oh, another thing: to set the pads to be CRSF RX and TX on the receiver, you only have to set output 4 to CRSF TX and output 3 will automatically be set to RX. I got really confused when I didn't find CRSF RX on the menu, until I read the manual more carefully lol
Not sure about that. I believe your smartaudio capable vtx, must also be set to crsf protocol. Would be great, if its true, because I have a rush tank solo that I want to wire it this way
@@niceguy6182 I have a tracer with a TBS UNIFY PRO 5G8 HV - RACE 2 that's only SmartAudio Capable. You have to enable the correct output in the receiver module. Take a look at pages 37-38 of the tracer manual.
True :) I have been controlling 3 of my vtx-es with this, an eachine 805, beta fpv one and a akk I think 🤔 all thru smart audio protocol. It is shown on diagram, and explained in TBS Fusion manual :)
i change to CRSF together with Tango 2 like a year ago, and my VTX was one of first think i did on it, as i dont want to deal with VTX tables and so one :) You get learn something new Today Joshua :)
Good information! So glad you finally made this video. I had to figure it out on my own, and I remember it not being so fun. Glad that others now have a good resource to learn how.
One comment about the wiring of the Unify Pro32 Nano (it may also be the case with other TBS vtxes - my experience is limited to the Pro32 Nano) - when you install a new vtx and unlock the power output using the button on the vtx (as far as I know this is the only way it can be done, you cannot do it using AgentX or Lua script) you must do it BEFORE you solder that blue wire (the one on the side of the vtx), because after wiring that side pad on the vtx to the Crossfire/Tracer receiver the button on the vtx stops working!
Why so complicated? Just one cable does the job soldered to Output 4 and it‘s set to Smartaudio. I use it this way for ever... what would be the advantage? Maybe firmware updates? anyway very informative, but it can be done in a fraction of time 👍🏽
I wonder if there's a similar thing for Shark Byte, but so far no issues because there's only 8 channels and our group have sort of settled on each of us having our own designated channel for our VTXs.
Not able to connect the power selection to one of the switches. Another great video, thanks. I use a VTx without Tx/Rx, only SA, the TBS UNIFY PRO 5G8 5V. I was able to connect to the VTx through the receiver (ch 4 only). Succeeds in changing channels and power through TBS agent. I am not able to connect the power selection to one of the switches. Can you help with that? Glad I support you, you earn it honestly!
I only use TBS VTXs and always wire it to my RX .not gonna lie. I did this when I first started (4yrs) bc I thought it was the way to do it . 😂 best mistake ever .
With the help of a "RealPit" style device, Betaflight LUA script can work similarly, cant it? Setup VTX tables, wire a "RealPit" to your VTX and set up PINIO, install Betaflight LUA script on your OpenTX transmitter of choice. When your ready to fly, power up your transmitter FIRST, set your VTX options in the BF LUA, then plug in your drone battery. Once you flip your "RealPit" switch, the updated VTX data is sent to the VTX and it makes the requested changes. Or have I just been getting lucky?
@@JoshuaBardwell oh don't get me wrong, its not nearly as elegant as at the TBS or Ghost solitons, NOT NEARLY!!! But its still a viable option, especially for people not on TBS or Ghost..... Flysky, ExpressLRS.. what have you...
I felt like an outcast until now...I’ve been wiring my TBS VTX to my nano RX SA since the day I switched over to TBS XF cause I couldn’t stand dealing with the vtx tables.
hey master...how to wiring and setup smart audio on old tba unify pro hv race edition? this vtx have data pin....how to do this....this not working for me just conect audio pin....😢
I'm having ghost problems. I'm sure they'll work them out but none the less I was frustrated enough I ordered tracer. Question dose the nano pro 32 do real pit. Actual 0mw when you say pit on a switch? I really loved the ghost I loved the simplicity of the hybird and the setup and channel change right from a separate screen on the back rx id, jstsh 4 wires very kiss.
And.... TBS Cloud also fully integrates the TBS Fusion, TBS Crossfire/Tracer, AND your Pro32 VTX of your choice and in harmony. "Follow my VTX". Good old channel 3 & 4 CRSF on that RX does wonders for a long time now. Change channel on your goggles, vtx changes channels, change channels on your quad, fusion can follow it. EVEN.. dynamic VTX and it can manage your output level, saving a little battery draw and heat. I thought you already covered that a while ago. I've used CRSF on my nano rx and unify pro 32 & evo for over a year now. Smartaudio is deaaaadddd...loading tables.. blah.
I wonder if the new tbs crsf sixty9 is gonna be like this. Seems like it should be. If I can figure out to make it all work lol. I Can't believe I haven't seen a crsf sixty9 installation/ setup video yet. I keep hearing of people having trouble. And conflicting info everywhere. Lol crsf hasn't even made a manual that I can't find yet
I've always only connected the orange wire and it was working flawlessly, is there any benefit to solder also the vtx tx to the crossfire rx (blue wire)? Am i getting any info sent back from the vtx to crossfire? Thank you Skidoosh for teaching me this secret!!
The great thing about this feature is that TBS vtx is not required, you can use it with all other smart audio enabled vtx :) Even further - TBS Fusion can send commands thru wifi to the XF module, and switch the channels or power output on the fly :)
Joshua - I’m looking at your wiring diagram to hook the VTX to the RX. I run unify pro32 nano vtx’s and crossfire nano ex’s mounted to either the stock tbs mount board or the whitenoisefpv boards on all my quads. Do I need to physically run two wires from the FTC to the RX? Is there a way to do this internally in the whitenoise or tbs mount boards? If not, do I run wires from the interface solder pads on the vex to the “floating” rx or from the solder pads on the side of the mount board to the rx? EDIT: I just answered my own question... tested the TBS Unify Pro32 nano mounting board with my multimeter on the continuity (beep when connected) setting. There is continuity between the tx and rx pads on the output solder pad side of the mounting board with the tx and rx pads directly under the 3 and 4 holes on the nano rx. If you connect not only the 4 pin header holes on the nano rx with the mount board, but also the 3 and 4 holes on the nano rx with the mount board, there is automagic connectivity for this wiring setup. Just use two more pins to connect those 4 holes. I wish I could post a pic...
Hi Joshua I did this my crossfire is wired to my pro 32 nano on a TBS whoop adapter board did the buttons as in the vid but no vtx comes up in my agent lite on zorro it’s there supposedly on regular tbs tools but does not seem to work it’s on R 6 when I told it R 8?
I got my unifypro 32 wired up like a usual vtx but I take the white wire from the unify to the t2 on my speedybee bord in the vtx spot then on the lap top in agent x I set all my vtx settings and pick crossfire not smart auto. And it works am I backwards?????lol
I just started the video and don't know if you remember me, but I asked you on discord if you know any method of unlocking the unify vtx when the supposed pads came of (it happened to a friend of mine). Soooo is it possible to unlock a unify vtx via the transmitter? Edit: got it, it's really possible. That's very nice thank you for this video, Joshua! You are great
Hi JB, Why go through all those steps when you can set the data protocol right in the General menus of the Unify Pro32 settings through the Agent Light? There, there’s a data port that you can change it from Smart Audio to CRSF.
@@JoshuaBardwell True enough! I wasn’t thinking, but your suggestion to use the Agent X on the computer is a much simpler and elegant solution. Cheers, Sam
Hmmmm. since we are using crsf protocol any chance this will be available for ELRS? Also JB do you have a video on how to set up pit mode on the TBS Unify Pro32 Nano 5G8 V1.1?
Hi, I have a question. I have TBS sixty9. It has no smartaudio input. It seams it has only myvtx feature. Howto control transmit power and channel with radio switch? Is it possible?
@@JoshuaBardwell Actually in firmware 6.09 there is smartaudio added (its beta firmware). However input pin is output4 which is at the back as soldering pad. It is not delivered as plug pin. Also there is pimode switch option in crossfire added, so you can assign channel and pitmode will be on/off by changing value of the channel. It works reliable and always, not like smaraudio (in my vtx sometimes it worked and sometimes didn't). What I am missing is function script (lua) that will change vtx output power and channel. If this is done then bye bye smart audio. Actually I won't use smartaudio with sixty9 as crossfire option is better for me. I set once and all my models are at the same frequency.
Hey Joshua, thanks a lot for this video. I recently ordered a TBS Unify Pro32 HV and I'm glad you made this video.This will make my life much earier in one way. Maybe I've overseen a post here but my question is: how can you get the informations like battery voltage, power consumption etc from the FC to the OSD when you don't use SA? RSSI comes from the RX so I presume that putting that information on the OSD ain't a challenge. Right?
There's only one thing that I need from myvtx to completely win me over: would it be possible to put the output power on a switch? So as to set myvtx to boot up on 25mw and a certain band and channel, only to go to max power when I arm the quad? How would it work to set that up?
@@JoshuaBardwell not really. What I’m thinking is the equivalent of what betaflight does when it keeps the vtx at 25mW until you arm. I was thinking that might be possible with a LUA script or something like that (but I don’t know a damn thing about LUA scripts). If there’s a way to get those types of things to work for Ghost and/or Crossfire, that would greatly improve the appeal!
The two featuers I need most are A) seeing what channel I'm on in the OSD and B) being able to switch channels with a switch (as you showed in czcams.com/video/a1_U2v0kAjg/video.html). So I will continue to use Smartaudio via the FC.
MyVTX is not new. Been using it forever. Yet I still am watching haha! You never know if you can learn something or not
He did that because of his recent video about the same feature with ImersionRC Ghost and Tramp VTX, so that everyone knows TBS has the same.
I really liked how you pointed the arrow to show us where we are in the flowchart. Thanks JB.
Thank my editor for that one -- it was his idea!
I'm really glad you guys liked it! I thought to put an extra effort on that because it might contribute to an easier fruition of the video! Glad to see that was the case!
Connect your TBS Fusion module to that and even your goggle switch automatically with it to the same channel 😎

No one knew about it because of that RC by mavlink thing that’s enabled from factory on the nano tx. It prevents it from working if enabled.

There's only one thing that I need from myvtx to completely win me over: would it be possible to put the output power on a switch?
So as to set myvtx to boot up on 25mw and a certain band and channel, only to go to max power when I arm the quad?
How would it work to set that up?
You can set an aux switch to put the vTX into pit mode, but not 25 mW. That mostly does what you're asking right?
@@JoshuaBardwell not really. What I’m thinking is the equivalent of what betaflight does when it keeps the vtx at 25mW until you arm.
I was thinking that might be possible with a LUA script or something like that (but I don’t know a damn thing about LUA scripts).
If there’s a way to get those types of things to work for Ghost and/or Crossfire, that would greatly improve the appeal!
Can you change the power with a switch like you can in betaflight?
You can go into and out of pit mode but not change power other than that.
How do you get the TBS Agent Lite Lua Script on the TX16S?
Download it from TBS website...drop it in the Firmware Folder on your SD card of your TX16S...simple.
I hate those button pushes and I hate the VTX tables. I was somebody could make it easier
We really need standards for better interoperability
Where does the vtx get its information from to put on the osd?
The vTX doesn't draw the OSD. The FC has a chip on board that the video signal passes through, and the FC causes the chip to draw the OSD.
So the camera signal wire will go to my fc and then another signal wire will go into my vtx?
Correct.
Can you do this with the Tango 2?
Yes you can, you can also use smartaudio
I'm a beginner and I don't like being told what to do so I'm just going to buy expensive gear and mess with it because I can
Can you do a review on flysky i6s radio?
What do you want to know about it?
@@vkumar95aviator I want to know how much good this expensive transmitters are compare to flysky i6s (in case of there gimbal feeling and range ).
@@abhisheksahoo8544 drop me a whatsapp text on +65 81836744 and maybe i can help you from there.
Tbs is always first. Lol
The two featuers I need most are A) seeing what channel I'm on in the OSD and B) being able to switch channels with a switch (as you showed in czcams.com/video/a1_U2v0kAjg/video.html). So I will continue to use Smartaudio via the FC.
5:18 this is the one thing...?? NO, THIS IS THE ALL. this is usless.... you know that

I didn't think anybody still flew analog? Lol
DJI is a garbage brand.
I still have two analogue VTX's I never even got round to wiring up, Shark Byte happened to me this year :)

@@IzzyBoop Yeah. Press and hold time interval red and blue blinking light cross reference chart method, is way better! 😜
@@cognetic I'm so confused.. my vtx only has 1 led 😳
