![Гайд для начинающих: как настроить аппаратуру на EdgeTx [Radiomaster Boxer ELRS]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wU67j2G5Ibg/mqdefault.jpg)
That was the best video I have seen for flashing the Boxer. Thanks
Thank you for the clear tutorial. In my case, the Edge TX Buddy didn't find the bootloader device and the ExpressLRS Configurator also wasn't able to find the serial device. I have a pretty standard Windows 10 installation so I was pretty upset because in every tutorial, it "just works". I had to use Zadig tool to install USB drivers manually. First, I turned off the radio, connected it to the PC, selected the device in Zadig and found out there is no driver, so I installed WinUSB. To make the serial connection work, I turned on the radio, selected VCP, and installed the driver USB Serial (CDC). After this, I was able to upgrade Edge TX firmware and also the ELRS.
absolute legend, thank you
Thanks. I used Zadig to install the bootloader driver then the rest of the update went just like in the video.
Thank you very much!
I had the same issue and your guide helped a lot!
Same issue,thanks for the comment
Excellent information, well done!
Thanks a bunch for all the info and tutorial, Ian! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you for this great video!🙏🙏 I received my Boxer yesterday, and easily updated it with your instructions.
Congrats. It’s a a fantastic radio
Literally just picked up this controller. God send video, thank you!
Thank you! Excellent instructions.
nice vid, I got my boxer as my second radio after some cheap ready to fly crap. Never looking back this radio has literally made me a more confident and better pilot.
A very useful video for me. Thank you for your hard work.
Thanks for making this video - i just got this exact radio and your video was extremely helpful 👍
It’s amazing. I hope you love it
+1 the Tutorial made me finally upgrade my Radio.
I bought my Boxer on Monday - can't wait for tomorrow
Soon i get this my 1st radiomaster
Thank you for the tutorials master⭐️🙃
Initially purchased tx16s mk2. But later found this one. While I was thinking to change tx16s to boxer or not, they released a new Boxer MAX version with AG01 gimbals. It made my choice simple, I ordered MAX version immediately. Thanks for review. I think I'll have a great experience.
Man I can't wait to order that radio
very well presented with minimum talk....well done.
I bought it around first half of February and I use it quite often. Overall it is great:) Stock gimbals had some noise in the beginning, but now they are brilliant. Roller wheel sometimes makes accidental moves in the menu, when I try to press it(it scrolls too easy).. not a big deal. I have opened it, and everything inside is very well made. Mine is cc2500 only, because I like to fly redpine whoops.. and I have some ELRS modules. Installed a tiny internal antenna for cc2500, and I also use a diy elrs module with internal antenna. Very compact and comfortable setup :)
thanks Ian
NIce video mate
Thank you love my boxer witch it come in different colors.
Thanks
Great Video and Remote! You should get the 'Radiomaster Sticky 360' - stick ends. They are amazing with the AG01 gimbals! 😃
Yea I have them for the Zorro but not the AG01
Great video Thank You for the info! Took me 2 months to get mine! Took almost 3 months to get HDZero Goggles! Bought my goggles 2 days after sale ended(payed full Boat)! Painfully expensive hobby!
Awesome review Ian! I'm waiting for RadioMaster to come out with the Boxer Max in a cool carbon fiber or A Five33 Edition both with AG01s! Cheers!
You sure they will drop that soon? I doubt it
Still happy with the old black DJI one.
I bought the boxer as my first radio. After flashing I had the problem that the select button stopped working. Thought I bricked my radio, but after resetting the sd card to the default content I could reflash it without a problem.
Boxer with the TX16s size color screen would be perfect IMO.
"not going to show you how to upgrade them step by step" --- goes on to explain step by step. Stop making me want ag01. I choose to believe its much harder than you make it look.
Nah, changing gimbal is easy. Paying the price of ag01 is harder
😢 I have a literadio3 elrs and because it can't be updated to 3.0 I had to flash down a elrs receiver yesterday and I'm in the market for a "Forever" radio that I can use for rc planes as well but having 3 position switches is kind of a must for certain planes but I think having this radio in a 4in1 and a elrs mod might be perfect 👍🏼 great review and tutorial ✌🏽
Thank for the review. Me and a friend got the boxer and we both experience jitter in 3 axes except throttle. Any comment on that aspect?
Just what i wanted to see nice work, i tryed to flash my x-lite with edge-tx and it died think its just bricked so i bought a zorro
I've owned and loved the TX16S however it is a bit large and can make it difficult for me to easily deflect the sticks to the center. Is it easier to do this with the boxer?
What do you do if after add new device there isn't a stm32 bootloader choice?
Do you storage charge your lipo in Boxer? It is a bit confusing for me... It is a lipo, so what happenes if you keep it fully charged too long or if you drain it to 0?
What about the elrs backpack? Does that need updating?
i have one question, i have a Boxer with the 4 in 1 Module LBT Module on the way but i need to change the Firmware so the 4 in 1 Module is on FCC, what would be the best way or tool to use for that purpose ? so i have no use for the ExpressLRS Configurator, thank you for your help !
Can we change out the 2way switches with 3way switches
Can you please please please!.. Make a video about how to assign funcitons to top dials and that 6 level buttons at bottom. Like changing VTX levels or OSD presets etc. Can't find any resource about that.
Hey
Let me just start by saying I'm a total n00b. Like 0 level.
I want to start flying quad drones FPV and every tutorial out there says to get a controller and a sim and start practicing in a sim first. So I got the Boxer, cause it seems like a good unit with great reviews, started a little bit of training in Lift-off and was on my way to become the world's greatest pilot. Then I came across your video and thought to myself "geez, upgrading EdgeTX is such a great idea". But I couldn't do it over USB, because drivers in win10, so I downloaded the bin file from EdgeTX Buddy site, put it on the SD card, started the controller in bootloader mode and flashed it. All nice and dandy. Excet it wasn't all nice and dandy, cause I moved the left stick and on the controller screen it showed the numbers coresponding to the right stick changing. I started the simulator and also there the controls are switched... WTF do I do now??????????????????????? HALP PLS
Hi all, I want to ask. If I upgrade edgetx firmware on my controller, will it cause all my model in the controller lost?
could you please confirm if Boxer is forward programming capable like the tx16s?
Should be under tool menu, my file does not run and the error is incompatible.
many thanks
More or less right except tiny points to improve - but more or less for those wing pilot which look at a radio quite differently - at least in parts.
At the end I will get one , I mean buy one, but more or less not before Chrismas cause I tend to stay with the stuff I have bought and will have to sell first before buying again. Still have the big Radiomaster and a joystick style one, that I also use during winter on the simulator.
But I also have to let you know: the older the first batch of the Radiomaster T 16 gets the more issues have occured , inaccuracies and also burned capacitors or smd components someone in our club had to replace. I mean I am talking about a fleet of these radios purchased back then in early 2020 for the club and build camps for the kids where they can lend a radio to have an easy start. They do not suffer from many hands and breaking plastic parts we had faced before, but now more or less electronic issues, especially the screen is getting darker and loosing everything a display needs like constant backlight without brighter spots. Yes, that is easy to fix, but if you have a fleet of these it becomes expensive to order 10 or 12 spare parts at once.
The Fr Sky radios used before had been more reliable, I mean this black joystick remote X-lite or however it had been called for example.
I hope radiomaster will work on the longevity of the basic radio without the whole story of the blink upgrades that are too expensive at least for me compared to the price of the basic radio.
Just forgotten: these rollers on the lower right have also sucked a lot over time in those 2020 and 2021 T16S.
Of cause: support by radiomaster is there and quite good too, also a part of a decision to buy a radio from the brand which is a lot hard in a club where you might have every 8 years a budget for 10 of these radios and also the basic spare parts cause at the end they are used by kids where things can go wrong and you then rely on the supply chain, availability and also prices to get these fixed again. We give 10 away and have 2 replacement for such damages and doing the repairs to bring them back into service.
Of cause there is more to tell but that is also becoming difficult in a world of adults cause kids need sometimes different proportions or handlings but kids are not the biggest customer group and fall behind somehow regarding ergonomics even though those joystick radios looked like such kids radios but at the end where not the best for them at all. 90 percentil for the adults might work in cars and what not but it gets harder for those kids and teens to get it right in a time when it is important for them to achieve things and get them right too after an adult had showed them the how to. But that market is too small, too niche cause we all know how fast they grow and what would be perfect now is no longer useable in 2 years after they had grown 40 cms and the tiny finger are so long.
The AG01 are now available with hollow shafts. So it is possible to install switchey, buttons or pots at the stick ends.
interesting! what about the wires coming out of bottom of it? it might catch something
@@gloriousquads not if it is done right
In which cases do you want to do that? I have no clue
Velocidrone combat perhaps. Pew pew. @@FreshPanda97
Do you have the LBT or FCC variant?
Drivers on windows is a common stumbling block. for both EdgeTX Update and ExpressLRS Update via ETX Passthrough
How do you overcome this? Thanking you in advance.
I own this radio recently due to range only, I’m mainly using spectrum bc they are easy to navigate n easy to setup. I have no idea on this radio
How to charge cell battery in radiomaster boxer
I put cell battery charge with c type charge
I light up red while plugin is it charged or not i don't know
🥰🥰🥰
can you fucking provide a version with ag101 installed, now it’s just disgusting wasteful to swap out ourselves
does anyone know how to get "Se latching switch" and "SF Momentary switch" active in betaflight ? when i try to bind in mode menu in betaflight
with auto it is not detected
@Mads Tech - did it not ask you to update the SD card after the first step when you updated Edge TX? Josh Bardwells video shows the website asking him to update the SD card. Thank you as I’m confused :)
No I did not get that.
@@MadRC thank you so much for the reply. I have the boxer as well. Josh was doing it on his tx radio. This was very helpful! I didn’t want to start the process and then get stuck not knowing what to do :).
Nice video! I don’t see stm32 boot loader in the selection. Pls help…
You may need to install the stm32 driver pack.
What about the models you have programed? Do they stay in the radio or do you need to save them and reload them after updating EdgeTX?
No they will stay
@@MadRC Can I use the pre made models for my fpv drones or are they not good in some way? Like maybe they have bad settings like curves or dead band or something. I noticed one of the models, I don't remember if it was boxer or 'fpv drone' had RTC filter enabled and it is advisable to have that off.
@@definingslawek4731 A pre-made model would be OK to start as long as you check every single thing in it. In a new radio I use the wizard to start my first model then comb thru and change everything to my liking. After that I always copy my first model as I know what is in it so I am not surprised.
Why did you remove the Led rings?
I did not. This was before I added them
I own a radiomaster boxer 4-1 and edge tx is updated to the latest firmware but for the life of me i cannot figure out why i cannot select to turn off internal module to run the ranger micro elrs module. I select modules/rx version and it takes me to the showing the internal module and ext module off. Am I doing something wrong? thanks
In the model settings you need to select external module for that model. So it’s in the first settings screen for the model where you can name it. Scroll down and find the RF section.
Hello! Trying to upgrade my firmware on the Radiomaster boxer with Edge Tx Buddy. I get this error(WIN 10 PC): "failed to execute 'open' on 'usbdevice': access denied. " I would appreciate your help. The radio is running on 2.8.0 factory firmware, and trying to update it to 2.8.4
I'm currently trying to update everything as well. I can't find the STM32 under add device but windows recognizes it for sims when it's on
HELLO i have a probleme in cant flash because the Com 3 didn't work
me too, any update?
@@shorgiiiii i use wifi
Can anyone help me get this remote to communicate with my DJI 03 and luminer AIO g4 FC? Total noob here
After updating everything, my boxer doesn't load the elrsv3 lua script. Just says loading...
Does the model your on have the internal module turned on. It’s possible it can’t detect the ELRS module.
That happened to me, and I can't remember how I cured it.
As Mads Tech says, your module isn't probably turned on. I have no clue why the Lua script just can't show some message like "Connecting to ELRS module failed. Make sure your module is turned on." Because it's super confusing how it behaves now.
you used window 95? xp? hahaha
why do they release a new radio with not enough memory? it should have same memory or more than TX16S
Memory is dictated by the sd card. Also it does not have a colour screen
@MadRC no I mean the ram memory used to execute the firmware and Lua scripts. Also confused by the spec. In one place it says 192kb ram while in another it says 1MB of ram. Ram is not the flash memory so maybe it has 1MB flash and 192KB ram. The LUA for Forward Programming is divided into two parts because of the lack of ram memory on the Boxer. The sdcard is storage memory.
im at my wits end, ive tried different cables, different computers, different methods. None of my computers will recognize my boxer radio. Ive been wanting to get into this hobby for months and after saving and waiting i finally have everything i need and the only thing holding me back is this radio. I don't know if its a faulty radio i thought maybe it was the cable it came with but nothing seems to work. I cant flash the elrs i cant update the firmware. I really really wanna fly my first drone, can you please help me get my radio working so i can feel the freedom of flying?
Are you using the top usb port ?
Yes
I had the same problem - had to use Zadig tool to install USB drivers manually.
Well I couldn’t get it to work so I was able to flash the radio via wifi finally, now to get the drone connected to the radio
I just got mine, I wish it were a lot lighter, it's kind of like holding a brick, makes me so surprised that seemingly everyone was running t16s and that is another 200g extra. I'm jealous of the dji RC (the one with the touchscreen) ergonomics and wish something like that existed in FPV but with full size gimbals.
It's hard to find but have you seen the Flysky Elysium EL18?
You have been paid, but paid in goods a free radio?
Elrs keeps telling me its not finding my com port.
Could not open it
me too, any update?
@@JustKeepLivingFPV
Coming from the tx16S I like that I can throw the boxer withouth case into my backpack and the lightweight but I HATE the cheap feeling why you and Bardwell don’t say anything about that absolutely cheap feeling specially if coming from a Radiomaster tx16S
It does not feel any cheaper than the TX16 standard radio. I don’t know what model your comparing it to but it’s the same overall plastics so what specifically feels cheap. The TX12 is a radio that feels cheap for sure but there is nothing specifically bad about the boxer.
It makes me laugh when people upgrade a £139 radio with gimbals costing the same price and makes absolutely no difference to flying experience. A better upgrade are the sticky360 gimbal stick ends. Bling factor AG01 😊
I would buy it if they shipped it with AG01 gimballs. I don't need to pay for spare gimbals. That's just lazy on their part.
yeah and wasteful as fuck
Just a matter of time till the Boxer MAX edition comes out.
