How to use FrSky SPI or D8 receivers with an EU/LBT radio

  • Since doing the reviews on a few 2S whoops with the SPI based receivers I was asked several times if they would work with an LBT radio. My answer to that was "I think so" based on being able to get D8 mode back into the OpenTX firmware and the SPI having what is effectively a D8 mode. I didn't like being quite so vague though, so I decided to flash one of my radios and see for myself.
    You can find the latest version of OpenTX Companion (at the time I making this video) here www.open-tx.or... but if in any doubt, check www.open-tx.org and follow the link to the latest release to find out if it is the latest. The software checks for its own updates anyway so should keep itself updated to the latest code.

    • @CurryKitten
      @CurryKitten  Před 3 lety

      It actually depends on the firmware your radio is running - which is LBT or international. Given that you don't have a d8 mode on your radio, you are probably running the LBT firmware (usually means you are in Europe) The EU-LBT option will get you an external xm+ receiver on the mobula7 (much better for range) whilst the Non-EU version will use the internal SPI receiver (less range, but no external rx fixed to it) it used to be that these would only run decently in D8 mode, but with the latest betaflight firmware then can now run in D16 or d16 for LBT. (that said you can also update your radio to support d8) so the answer is any of them, but it depends what you'd like and how much additional updating on your radio you want to do.

    • @CurryKitten
      @CurryKitten  Před 5 lety +1

      Ok. Check to see in your model setup if the throttle has been reversed, and if not try the stick calibration. As for the expected version - if you've actually updated OpenTX to a new version, it looks for a text file on the SD card called opentx.sdcard.version which simply contains a version string. The idea being that you should get the SD card contents (from the OpenTX site) but if you've literally changed nothing, you could also just edit this file on a PC to reflect the version it wants you to have

    Hi, great tutorial again. I noticed that OpenTX 2.3.14 latest does not have an EU check box. I believe I am having a problem bind_rx for my flywoo firefly 1s nano baby which has built in spi frsky receiver on the AIO board. Do you have any advice? As most mini quads these days seem to use spi. Strangely I am able to bind to xm+ pre version 2 firmware using my x-lite pro transmitter with firmware ISRM 1.1.3.

    • @CurryKitten
      @CurryKitten  Před 2 lety +1

      The EU tickbox appearing will depend on what model of radio you have. So if you are on an original X9D, it's there. But if I switch to my X9d Lit Pro (which has the Access badge on the front) then it isn't there - because you can't run D8 on the ISRM module. I made a post about this a while back www.currykitten.co.uk/using-spi-receivers-with-an-lbt-eu-radio/ Binding to spi rx's shouldn't be a problem as Betaflight supports them running both FCC and LBT versions of D16. In the past LBT wasn't available and thus the LUA script on that post I linked to that could swap your region of the radio back and forth. It should be ok now though - what radio do you have, which region are you in, and which protocol are you using in the SPI receiver?

      @@CurryKitten Thank you for explaining the EU check box. So confusing the Frsky with ACCST 2.x with XM+ receivers. I took a risk and bought a used Frsky Taranis X-Lite Pro as it has nice gimbals and more battery power for external modules. i was relieved to get it working by updating the ISRM v1.1.3 which now works with my old XM+ receivers with pre 2.x firmwares, using sbus in Betaflight. However, the headache was with my Firefly 1S Nano baby configured in Betaflgith with SPI RX SUPPORT, and FRSKY_X. After many attempts to bind my X-Lite Pro in ACCST D16 mode, I finally figured out it was because after running bind_rx in CLI, I needed to run save and enter to complete the bind 😅. The Frsky transmitters are way better built than say Jumper T-Lite. So glad I got it working finally. But I do not applaud Frsky for their ACCST firmware updates which have caused headaches for many people out there. I am a beginner in fpv, but thankfully not given up the hobby yet with the many frustrating problems encountered with Betaflight, firmwares 😅. It is a learning curve to say the lesat.

    Hi. Quick and simple question. Can I purchase for example, an R9 Slim with FCC firmware and then flash it with EU LBT to match my radios? (Currently everything I have is EU LBT and I need new receiver quickly and its easier to buy FCC version)

    • @CurryKitten
      @CurryKitten  Před 4 lety

      Yes - all of my R9 stuff always came with the FCC versions, and whilst I don't have a problem running the FCC version of 2.4Ghz, R9 in FCC runs into the GSM phone network, so pretty important to run it on 868Mhz. The best option is to install the flex firmware on both which allows all the options on any of the frequencies

      As with most things, there's not a straight answer to this. An XM+ will absolutely wipe the floor with one of these SPI RX's and you can flash an XM+ with RSSI firmware on both LBT or FCC and use 16 channels. The reason I made the video is because people were asking about them in terms of being able to use one of these RTF 2s whoops without having to fiddle about with it and add an rx.So the advantage of the SPI rx is really convenience and keeping the weight down as much as possible.

    Kind of related but kind of not. I have always had less than stellar range with my QX7. I was thinking of upgrading the firmware on XJT module as I can't find the version in the system menus, so who knows what I am on. After doing the firmware upgrade do you need to re-bind all your models as I am not keen on pulling umpteen models apart to find the bind button. BTW: Not changing from EU to FCC and vice versa, but sticking to the same region.

    • @CurryKitten
      @CurryKitten  Před 5 lety

      Yeah - one of the issues I have with FrSky is they give no way of finding out what firmware is running anywhere - be it R9 or the XJT module, you just don't know. It's worth mentioning that the XJT firmware hasn't been updated since May 2017, which is (IIRC) around the time the X7 appeared - so it seems unlikely to be a bug that's easily fixable. As far as the rebinding thing goes... I'm not sure - I'll try writing over my LBT firmware with the same and see if the model I bound still remains bound.

      I found a few people were missing a step in the order of things - so just to double check what you are doing. connect up quad to betaflight,a nd go to the cli tab. Activate bind on the radio and then type bind_rx_spi on the cli line (although it differs depending on the version you are running) after a few seconds, you can stop the bind on the radio and then type save on the line... that should be it. Is that what you are already doing ?

      Legally, you should be using the LBT version in the EU because radios are required to do this Listen-before-talk thing.

      CurryKitten it’s not flashing the rssi channel it’s selected on your radio you go into your mixer page on taranis and setup a channel to receive transmit rssi that way you can choose any channel to put your rssi on , so I would have thought it would be possible on those receivers on trashcan ect but not 100% , I don’t have one to try it on as I junk all those Recievers that come with these small whoops as they are crap not that I want to put 16 channels on one because if you do the flight controllers on these small builds does not like D16 it will and does randomly lock up the fc and you fall out of the sky , have a try putting rssi on channel 8 with your radio mixer setting and then change the Aux setting in Reciever tap in betaflight to channel 4 and see if it works then you will be able to have rssi on D8 mode on those spi boards hopefully

      Haha, oh yeah - I know what you mean, I even wrote about it a while back www.currykitten.co.uk/getting-the-rssi-value-to-show-in-your-betaflights-osd-frsky-based/ It never clicked with me because I'd only ever thought of using that when I'm dealing with a RX that only has telemetry. That fact it had RSSI on the wrong channel completely threw me off :) You should certainly be able to get RSSI into your OSD using that method - thanks for the reminder

    Hi, I hope you can help as I have exhausted all other options including Happymodel themselves and I’m now at a loss as to what the issue is.
    I have the Mobula6 Frsky version and I’m using a Futaba 7c tx (35mhz) and converted it to 2.4ghz with a Frsky DHT hack module which I use with other quads like my gtb229 with no issue, it runs PPM on D8 and I’m sure it’s a non eu version, it seems that I’m able to bind to the mobula6 as the red light will stay solid but on betaflight on the receiver tab it’s unresponsive, all settings are as advised ie RX mode is SPI RX support ( I’ve tried PPM just in case but nothing)
    and FRSKY_D SPI BUS Receiver provider, I’ve also tried different betaflight configurators from 10.4.1 to the latest and still no response from the receiver tab,
    On the setup screen the quad on screen will react when you move it so it’s all connected fine, also as a last resort I’ve tried other usb cables but still nothing, I’m thinking it’s either not compatible with my TX or I have a faulty quad and will have to return it
    I look forward to you reply

    • @CurryKitten
      @CurryKitten  Před 4 lety +1

      The DHT module can speak D8, and D8 doesn't have an FCC/Eu version so you should be fine. Are you sure you are bound, as quite a lot of people manage to miss a step binding SPI. Are you going to the cli, putting your radio in bind, typing bind_rx (although the command various on different betaflight versions), stopping the bind on the radio and then typing save. Lots of people miss the save part of it

    • @ARCEYE78
      @ARCEYE78 Před 4 lety

      Thank you for replying,
      The only way I know it’s bound is the fact that the board light is solid red, if I turn off my tx it will start to flash and once turned on it will go solid again so I can only assume it’s ok, the binding cli command was slightly different in mine being Frsky_bind it would then say binding, put tx in bind mode and I get a solid red light, looks like I may have a lemon :/

      @@ARCEYE78 I just had a try using my old Turnigy 9X with an attached DJT module and (once I remembered how to bind) everything was all good. I don't know what options you have on your Futaba, but in my settings on the radio the Protocol was PPM 8-Channel 300uSec (not sure what the 300 uSec refers to here) as I also have a PPM FrLen which is set to 22.5mSec. Just to check - you didn't add a serial RX option to your ports tab did you (another common misstep)

    • @ARCEYE78
      @ARCEYE78 Před 4 lety

    • @CurryKitten
      @CurryKitten  Před 4 lety +1

      As far as I know my DJT module is essentially the same as the DHT but in module form. The way to double check (if you can) is to find someone with a different radio (preferably a FrSky or Jumper) and see if there's works ok

      Hmm, though I answered this one already - that'll teach me to trust my laptop to using my iphone on tether. I don't have a tinyhawk, but it appears to run a d8 compatible receiver that emax produce. So it's not SPI, but as long as you have (or bring back) a d8 mode on your receiver, then yes - it'll work

    thanks for the video, however i can't get my X9D + 2019 in D8 mode. Flashed the firmware to non eu, flashed internal module to FCC. But still - can't select D8 mode for binding it to my tinyhawk. Anything which im missing out here?

    • @CurryKitten
      @CurryKitten  Před 4 lety +1

      I made this video before the new range of radios were released, so the Access based transmitters, such as the X9D+ 2019, can talk Access, and D16 but can't do D8. Whether this is a technical limitation of the new internal module, or FrSky just don't want to support it, I don't know. You can get D8 by using a multiprotocol module. You can also set the TinyHawk to D16 (FRSKY_X in the SPI receiver section) also I've found this can lock some flight controllers up as it's too demanding on the CPU

      Oops - sorry. I misread X9 lite as X-lite. So the X9-lite is one of the new TX's that has D16 and Access, but doesn't have D8 mode. All is not lost though - you have 2 options at this point. You can get an external module to slot in the back which will give you a D8 mode back (along with loads of other stuff in the case of a multiprotocol module) or you can run the tinyhawk on D16 mode. The tinyhawk uses an SPI based receiver which you can change to FRYSKY_X in the configuration tab (instead of FRYSKY_D which is D8) The reason it runs in D8 is that it takes less cpu power to do so, there have been lock ups if the CPU gets too high in D16, but just test it carefully in a place where you can easily recover it

      Do you have D8 mode available an an internal receiver option? When it's talking about XJT-D8 mode (not that it's particularly clear) but I think it's talking about using an external XJT module. If you've got an external module that's all good, but otherwise you'll need d8 as an internal option
