Tim Ballinger Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Sonny I should say that with that menu where you select TM on or off if you accidentally scroll while selecting it will change value and you may not notice so recommend you move slowly before hitting select ! ..and as far as I can see that specific menu as part of the bind process is not covered in the x10 manual or the quick start leaflet that comes with the Horus.

SONNY MONKS Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi Pat,The jumper is in A1 and the centre pin,the third pin is marked G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Ballinger Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Then Pat has to be right it must be something specific to the x6r jumper setup with which I have no experience . All my rxrs are RX8R pro. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Ballinger Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Just another question/thought. I assume you Rx is connected and working. If so and you are on internal antennas do you have an RSSI value indicated on your display. ? Surely that is not controlled by a jumper is it Pat.

Tim Ballinger Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I have been checking Rx manuals .The X6R says..... Compatibility: FrSky DFT/DJT/DHT/DHT-U in D_mode FrSky Taranis X9D Plus/XJT in D8 mode FrSky Taranis X9D Plus/XJT in D16 mode X6R-EU version only works with FrSky Taranis X9D Plus-EU version/XJT-EU version in D16-EU mode. It does not mention Horus. The RX6R does say Horus in its setup instruction. Could you have the wrong Rx. ? for the Horus.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SONNY MONKS Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 The only reading i get is when i switch to external antenna,i get a swr reading,and then nothing once i go back onto internal antenna,my plane is ready and all four channels,with throttle cut,rates,all operating as normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Posted by SONNY MONKS on 28/10/2018 15:14:43: Hi Pat,The jumper is in A1 and the centre pin,the third pin is marked G. As I said, Sonny, I don't have any X6R's (I've never actualy seen one) but the instructions do say A1 & X (centre pin) so it doesn't seem like that the problem. I think it will be worth checking how you selected mode 16 in the Tx when binding. As Tim said it would have been easy to switch telemetry off when scrolling. In my previous post I was only thinking of telemetry selection from the Rx point of view. It seems a bit odd/overkill, not to mention confusing, that you should be able to make the same selection from two points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SONNY MONKS Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi Tim,I have the LBT -EU Version tx,which is the same version as the rx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Ballinger Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I am very much wandering if the X6R is not totally compatible and you need an R series ie RX6R or RX8R. Might be worth checking with the guys at T9 ( or whoever you bought the Horus from) with regards to compatibility. The lack of RSSI just indicates that the TM downlink is not working. SWR will because its measured/computed in the TX. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Tim, the X10 manual under "Receiver Types" page 13 states that all D16 (X series & R9 series) are compatible. It,s actualy the internal Rf module, which is an XJT type that determines this. IIRC BEB said that he uses RX6s with his X10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Ballinger Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Pat, Agreed , It’s just odd that the Manual for the RX6R and RX8R are identicle in terms of set up with no Tm control by jumpers a d the rx8R works as advertised. Asyou noted the Horus 10 controls the Tm link in the Tx settings. If Sony has double checked by re binding with both Tm setting and jumper setting on Rx I see no where to go other than checking with the supplier or sending a pm to Chris to double check his setup.

Tim Ballinger Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Sonny, One last thought . Since you get no RSSI and the jumper on A1 only controls the Rx voltage monitoring then the only control I see over the Tm is that in Tx bind menu. So when you checked the bind menu setting for the TM tic box did you actually redo the bind because it is possible it might just hold that as the default and not what you actually used. Clutching at straws but might be worth redoing the bind from scratch once more. Failing that I really am stumped. Apart from swapping your X series for an RX series which incidentally has 40% more range! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SONNY MONKS Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Ive been reading up on other forums,one says remove the jumper,i did,and it still isnt showing any readings,i give in lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Tim, with my X12S on OpenTx OS after the Rx bind process you have to go to the telemetry page then with the Rx switched on select "discover new sensors" before it's possible to display either the Rx battery voltage or the RSSI. Isn't it the same with FrOS ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARPERFECT Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I have a Taranis X9D and a X6R.(NEW IN BOX) if someone can do a screen shot of what the tx should be showing, i will look at mine and see if i can help Sonny. What i had seen is two bars one for the tx battery that shows the volts as well as the bars , but the other only shows the bars, and no numbers.

Tim Ballinger Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Pat, With the RX8R pro I did not have to do anything other than the initial bind and telemetry was availible. I have not even seen anything resembling a discover sensors option in the telemetry menus of which there are 2, one for calibration of each sensor (min/max, warnings) and the other just manipulates the display settings. I will check the TM cal pages again. CardPerfect, not sure the Taranis set will help here as the Horus is somewhat different and the issue is no Tm at all , not even RSSI.

Trevor Crook Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 All I can contribute is that I am using an X6R with a QX7 tx on OpenTx and I get RSSI and rx voltage displayed, without having messed around with any jumpers. This suggests that the X6R sends telemetry by default, and it's just a matter of setting up the tx to receive/display it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Well Martin for the X10 there is a 130 page PDF manual downloadable from FrSky. From them and others here are also hundreds, no thousands, of tutition videos. Surely that's enough support documentation for now Sonny? What is needed by the user is engagement and for him to stop thinking they can ake a short-cut to knowlege by asking "how do I do this or that" All FrSky systems are very sophisticated and complexly interlinked. They are often ouside of the "run of te mill" - they reward careful systematic study. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SONNY MONKS Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 yes i agree moderator,it seems to me you have to be somewhat of a computer engineer to work these frskys out lol,i have only been used to a basic set up and configuration for the past 18 months,i shall have to get reading!

Tim Ballinger Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Problem here is that as far as I can see there is nothing in the Horus 10 manual to cover this issue . The bind process discussed above is the only point at which the Horus OS gives the option to turn TM on or off. Sonny had this set as on when he bound the Rx and the Rx jumpers were set as in the Rx manual. So yes we helped out in pointing him through the manual but to no avail. The Rx bind should not require an IT expert. Not personally looked for a utube video for this combination so it might be out there. I certainly had no issues when setting up the RX8R. If Chris Bot achieved the Horus/X6R pairing then perhaps he can help when he comes on line. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SONNY MONKS Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thanks for that tim,thats the whole reason why i asked for advise in the first place,i could not see that this issue was covered too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Christy Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I would agree with Trevor. I've use a couple of X6Rs, and other than tell the Tx to display the output, I've never had to do anything else. However, I'm using a Taranis with OpenTx, for which there is a wealth of experience. I would have no idea where to find the settings in FROS! -- Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
