![Complete EdgeTX Radio Settings Guide: How-To Configure the Radiomaster Boxer [Zorro too].](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/x80b77pMpfA/mqdefault.jpg)
After soldering the RX pins, binding everything, and testing the PMW channels with servos, I decided to check the telemetry screen, and no VBatt! After watching your video everything is working as intended. Thank you!
Nice work!
Thank you for the video. I just set up the telemetry on my radio. I appreciate that you use radio with c/b display instead of TX16S like every one youtuber these days, not everyone can afford it or doesn't want to buy TX16S. Keep up the good work!
Thank you. Glad to help.
Having recently treated myself to a Boxer, this is extremely helpful. Thanks John, amazing work as always!
Anytime.
Thanks John. You're video helped me a lot. I had completely forgotten how to set all this up. Much appreciated.
You’re welcome. Glad to help.
Thanks for this. I've had my Boxer for about a month and really enjoy it. There are a few things that are different on the boxer b&w screen that other videos don't cover. Thanks for both videos 👍
Helpful indeed. Thanks!
You're welcome.
Very useful and didatic. Thanks.
I literally just set this up on my jumper t pro yesterday but I used the inav lua script, I had no idea I could display the telem without the Lua thankyou, I struggled to get the Lua to display and had to update the radio, I wish I just did this instead so for the record this works for the jumper t pro aswell add it to the title because no one has videos speaking in English talking about how to get telem on the tpro the button layout is a little different but easy enough to figure out. Also elrs the rqly is I believe lq of telemetry tqly I think is the same as the lq you have in osd
tqly is downlink quality. rqly is tx to rx.
Very useful setup tips. How u apply clock on between the trims and on telemetry page header?
Thank you for this video! I just used it to get pack voltage on the screen of my Zorro, using my new style (2023 onwards) Lemon stabilized 7 channel receiver that ships with the single pin voltage probe. I set my range from 10.5V to 12.6V for a 3s pack but I may change the low voltage setting to compensate for in flight sag.
Since you're aware of sag, you might want to see this. I use it on all of my planes now: czcams.com/video/Q5s7zB0NDCQ/video.html
@@RCVideoReviews thank you, that looks very helpful!
John, a great video as always and thanks! I was wondering if there was a method to reset the radio received telemetry values for a second flight without turning the radio off and on. I like to have the telemetry for each flight stored separately in the logs. I'm using an RM Boxer.
Long press the jog dial from the main screen and the first option is "reset" Click that and you can either reset flight, timers, or telemetry. Resetting telemetry will reset min/max values of telemetry. Resetting flight is like loading the model from the model selection page. Resetting timers does just that.
Thanks! Awesome tip. Now I'll see of that can be done when I use the arm switch.
It can.
I wish I had seen this great video a few months ago when I was trying to set up some telemetry screens on a TX12; I managed to muddle my way through it in the end. However, I am curious how you got the RSSI value to display in the bottom bar of a few of your telemetry screens?
I didn't configure that. It just showed up on the first screen. Keep in mind, I'm on 2.9 nightly in the video, so perhaps something new..?
How do you get time to be shown on your display? Like on 0:22 there's a 20:29 time on the bottom
thank you!
I found the customizable topbar of the taranis screen really helpful, can't understand why there isn't such a feature for the smaller 128x64 screens...
Maybe put in a feature request on the EdgeTX github? That's the best way to ask the EdgeTX team for features.
Is there a way to delete and start over? Also I want to link my vario to the sound. I have them both but they don’t work together.
Awesome job thank you- I’m having trouble setting up a screen to show distance and possibly bearing from home. In case I lose video. Are these values labeled as something else? Appreciate ya!
You need to get on my discord for this question. What sensors are you attempting to use for distance and bearing??
Thank you! I think I just figured it out. I watched a video on a Louis script for IA and now I have all the data I could ever want! Appreciate your content don’t have discord will check it out sir .
Thanks for your video. Can you get GPS and SATs data via ELRS telemetry, i.e same/similar to the telemetry you get with Smartport /SBUS type RX setups???
Maybe this will help: A Day at the Field: GPS Speed and Altitude Telemetry from Crossfire with NO Flight Computer!

Needed this. Tfs!
Glad it was helpful!
I press on the Tele button, but only get battery voltage and time. Radiomaster Boxer running Edge TX 2.10.
My radiomaster pocket says that there are no telemetry screens configured. How do I add them?
Thanks for sharing this - very good info here! Question: @1:30 under Telemetry it shows "Low alarm: 45" and "Critical alarm: 42" .. are those percentages for RSSI or something else? And are those values the best for something like a quad on ELRS and an O3 unit?
Those are leftover values from D16 days. The protocol developer specifies the primary telemetry value. So you have to find out what your protocol is sending. This video will help: czcams.com/users/livesl68I-MoJ9Q
@@RCVideoReviews - wow - thank you - checking that link right now !!
Hi John. I've got another question about telemetry. I have a Spektrum Sky ID module and it gives me altitude info to my Boxer. Unfortunatly it doesn't give it AGL, just MSL. But it does have the "min" so I could use that. Is there a way to calculate the difference in 2 values? Then I'd have the AGL! Just trying to stay legal, not that I fly super high anyway. When I download the logs to my PC I do the math there but it isn't while I fly. Thanks for your always excellent advice and suggestions.
I don't know of any way to make that conversion outside of in your head. If you know the altitide of your flying field, add that to MSL and you're set.
Why does my RSSI only displaying positive? If I have the radio right up next to the quad, it will display 0 but not go into the negatives and then when I start walking away, the number starts to get more and more positive
Great content👍.
Can you please advise how set up flight back alarm if you use two pack un your plane example 2s or 3s and my receiver just gave me total battery voltage and not pack voltage.
Any advice or link to any other video you already have about this is appreciated.
thanks!!
What I do is use the cel1 value. 1S worked well for me.
Thank you...
You're quite welcome.
omg, im just trying to figure out how to add voltage level from drone to screen on radio, ive watched so many videos and reading to not find this information, Ive even sent radiomaster a tickct. Ive went through alot so far, logical switches, special functions to not find any telemetry options, I go to set up telemetry (is why I am here) and none of the sensors I need are there, I try to add one and that is a whole different jar of flies, and another video....I just want to know how much juice is left in my drone before it falls out of the sky. I am not using goggles, so I kind of need this information in flight, and I know it can be done, can you help me, direct me to the proper video. This whole setup process seems a bit much, but I am trying, not doing very well3 and is frustrating, especailly when I get people telling me to just look in my goggles lol
Hey , thanks a lot John! So helpful. Do you know if there is any way to show GPS-Coordinates as Decimals and not as usual as degrees, minutes, seconds?
The only two options I'm aware of for GPS coordinate format are NMEA and DMS.
How do configure the main screen? I have a Zorro and on the main screen I only see the reception bars.
There are two sets of screens. The output screens and the telemetry screens.
This video shows you how to configure the telemetry screens of which there are 4. You configure them per model by pressing the model button. page left, "display" you see screen 1, 2, 3, 4.
The output screens are not configurable. You cycle through them by pressing page right or left. There are 5 screens, starting with very little output, then ending on the channel monitor before cycling back to the one with very little output. Again, these are not configurable.
my boxer don't have the rssi and rxbat option? is there something i missed?
Your RX provides the sensors. If you don't discover your RX sensors, you won't have options on the radio to assign.
hi, thanks for the video. I dont have rxbat, gps etc but i have rssi, LQty which are rx telemetry. Already enabled telemetry in receiver tab but still cannot see it. I'm using happy model elrs rx and radiomaster boxer elrs. Do i miss any setting? Thanks
You need a receiver that provides this telemetry. You didn't mention what RX you're using. For follow-ups to this question, please join our discord.
@@RCVideoReviews hi, thanksnfornthe respond, I have 2 drones which both cannot get gps telemetry. I use happymodel ep1 elrs dan radiomaster rp1 elrs as well.
Was just about to get myself the RadioLink AT10 until I saw your other content about it. I'm just considering now the Boxer, doest it have RX sensors to show Flight Baterry voltage telemetry?
Flight pack voltage (vbat is a common name) is Rx dependent. So look at something like the Happymodel EPW6 ELRS Rx which has a vbat sensor and you get it. I haven't seen a lot of vbat sensors on CRSF only ELRS Rxs, but there are lots of PWM versions that do, AND you can also run CRSF out of the PWM RXs, so good option for flexibility.
So I dont have that 1:32 Telemetry 1,2,3.. under Sensors option why? How do I check if I have sensors... ?
Same answer to your prior question: Get on discord and ask there. Link to my discord is in every video I post.
Many thanks for this excellent video, I have setup Rqly for signal strength on my quad.
Can you tell me if Is possible to set up a sound warning when Rqly is low as I will be wearing FPV goggles, thanks again.
Of course. Use a logical switch. A
@@RCVideoReviews Many thanks for you reply, I have only had the Boxer 2 days and still learning. Is there a video that covers logical switches and Special functions. Thanks again for your help.
There is a channel on YT that's famous for OpenTX and more recently EdgeTX videos. Something like 200+ videos between the two. Let me post a few links.
The first one covers logical switches top to bottom: czcams.com/video/u-EOmqWQmvs/video.html

I have only one page when I press tele button, just the battery info
Is it possible to add any telemetry stuff to the home screen?
Just the telemetry screen on B&W radios afaik.
So, does my gps need a satellite lock in order to display the gps coordinates in my boxer Telemetry screen?
Do you have an RX/fc/fbl that can deliver gps telemetry?
A lock is necessary for coordinates. It is not necessary to show the sensor and all zeros until you get coordinates.
@RCVideoReviews I don't know what fbl stands for. That's a new one for me lol. So when I go to the telemetry screen the GPS has 1376 or something close to that number next to it. Can the boxer display GPS coordinates? Or do I need to add something to the hardware
Thanks for the video! I have some questions - I'm just getting into RC and I'm thinking that I should go with the Boxer as is has a bunch of channels and knobs, high transmit power, and supports telemetry. I plan to work in Ardupilot with a Pixhawk/controller that can run Arduplane and am wondering:
- How to find a receiver compatible with the Boxer and supports sending it the telemetry like you've shown, and support SBUS/PPM for the flight controller? Or is an SBUS/PPM on the receiver what sends telemetry?
- Does the Boxer work with SBUS or PPM, or is that up to the receiver I choose?
- Can Ardupilot even send telemetry back to the Boxer or is that an iNav thing? Thanks!
You need to join my discord and ask these questions there, you'll get a much better interaction and a more thorough discussion.
Boxer has two options: ELRS and MPM. MPM allows you to use lots of different over the air (OTA) protocols. ELRS just uses ELRS.
SBUS generally refers to a serial communications link between the RX and Plane, although there are use cases within the TX for it which are out of scope for your question.
The RX sends telemetry. While sbus is a one-way protocol, the telemetry I showed here originates on the RX, so it is not reliant on SBUS to make it back to the TX.
Again, SBUS/PPM are serial streams and more between the RX and model than between the TX and RX. In certain receivers like the FlySky IA6B you can configure the RX to output IBUS or SBUS, but again, that refers to output, not the link between TX/RX.
Ardupilot doesn't know or care about your TX. It just knows to send telemetry. For that, you need a bi-directional on-craft protocol like CRSF or f.port.
Join discord if you want to know more.
Thanks! I was biased towards the 1 W ELRS version for its transmit power as I want to use it as a redundant telemetry link for potentially getting a cheaper 100 mW 3Dr radio for Ardupilot telemetry. To have the Boxer as the more expensive part of my setup to monitor things like aircraft heading and battery voltage (and initiate flight modes) if the 3Dr reliability becomes unstable would be nice. But it seems like the multi-protocol Boxer version may be the way to go if I want a receiver that can also listen to input from Ardupilot so I have the telemetry redundancy. I will be looking around the web and your Discord for hopefully any ELRS telemetry receivers for the Boxer, or just going MPM for a bi-directional protocol as you mentioned. So much to learn as a newcomer to RC, but people like you make it easier. Thanks
I need to show the telemetry screen as the default screen after the radio turned on. No need to push "TELE" button to show the telemetry data everytime. Hope the devs is listening.
Have you suggested this on the EdgeTX Github issue tracker? That's the best way to submit feature requests to the EdgeTX team. They do watch these videos, but they don't necessarily see all the comments.
Hi. i am wondering how did you set time to show in the home page? Is that only available in 2.9?
I didn't do anything...it was just there. I don't use BW radios much, so that might be a Boxer or 2.9 thing. Sorry, I don't know.
Hi. im using QX7 ACCESS radio. i have issue binding with Radiomaster R88 V2 receiver which supports ACCST D16. im unable to bind to this receiver. i tried updating the ISRM on the radio but still unable to bind with R88 V2 receiver. is there any solution or fix? i tried to downgrade the ISRM to qx7 access ISRM version 1.1.3. and it got bound. but i can notice some packet loss while moving the servos. Does separate firmware for R88 receivers exist? to support ACCST D16 (V2)?
Try frsky and frsky x2.
Nice
Yessir.
Can the boxer display inav Lua script screen
Link says it can. I've never tried it: Supported transmitters: FrSky Taranis and Horus transmitters, Jumper T12, T16, FLYSKY Nirvana NV14, Radiomaster TX16S, TX12, Zorro, Boxer (at least).

@@RCVideoReviews awesome
hi
how can i display actual time on main screen with the stick&pots and how to display time&timer on top bar?
You can't.
@RC Video Reviews how do you managed to do? Because on your boxer, in this video at 1:10 and 4:52, i saw exactly that...
That's not the top bar, that's a telemetry screen. To change the preconfigured main screens, press page right.
@@RCVideoReviews i know how to page trough telemetry or main pages.
My main question is how to set the time and timer next to your model name in telemetry screen? My boxer shows only internal battery voltage there...
And how to display the time on the "i call it mainscreen", the one with the stick overlays?
Do i need to set this up in edgetx Companion?
