I did do the stick cal, but could do it again in case the trims were not set in the center.

I "think" I'm making progress. My guess may have been right that all escs were not calibrated the same. I just went through and recalibrated all of them. Total pain to unhook the motor leads and the FC etc... So after the whole process powering up the bird now results in this behavior on...

Ok after some reading, and booting the bird up with my trims set differently I've come to a conclusion: My escs are not properly calibrated. I think what may happened is that some were calibrated with the trim on one setting and others with another setting. If I change the trims I can get...

Okay been a few days and tonight I finally have a chance to mess with it. I've now (I hope) got the Taranis channels setup properly, or at least close. I've got channels 1-4 setup as per the futba configuration. I set channel 5 with a 3 position switch for flight mode. I set channel 6 as a...

I found another forum post regarding Companion 9X and the AVRDude executable not found. Looks like I needed to set the firmware to "Open TX for FrSky Taranis" roughly in the middle of the preferences panel. I'm away from my TX (at work) so I will try it later tonight.

Ok thanks. There were two different basic configurations listed in the manual, one for Futaba and one for some others. So we setup based on the Futaba. That helps. How about setting up GPS Atti 3-position switches and such? I think I can figure out how to assign a switch to a channel, but...

Yeah that's for sure. I believe I have the FC setup right, hexacopter X setup and so on. The TX is another story. Ok so hoping I can understand the setup needs. Since I'm using SBUS, channels 1-8 are already setup and the SBUS cable is connected between the 8XR and the X channel of the I/O...

My Taranis is not setup at all. I've watched about 100 videos. I can't find a standard listing showing the sbus channels. The only channels set in my TX are 1234 thr, ail, ele, rud. I have no idea what to do next. Brain fried...

The white signal lead on ESC #3 was bad. Replaced that and all was good after that. So now that the motors are all tested, I'm ready to do the SuperX setup. I'll simply follow the manual, but if any have experiences which the manual does not cover well that's what I'm inquiring about. We...

Great progress on my T960 with the SuperX, 8XR, and Taranis TX yesterday.:livid: After making sure my craft was right side up (yeah, yeah), I did manage to get 5 of 6 esc's throttle calibraded (via the 8XR... on topic). Motor #3 was a no-go. I used my multi-tester and found that the white esc...

The topic is SuperX, 8XR, and Taranis... That's the exact setup I have. Seems on topic to me.

It just dawned on me that if I need to fish another esc wire through, I'll just tie it to the old one. Then when I pull the old one out it will pull the new one through. :-)

This is completely embarrassing and should provide a great laugh for all of you... After all of these attempts at esc throttle calibration I was narrowing it down to the possibility that the numbers were wrong on my esc wires. I put numbers on all of them when I ran the wires. So my thought...

Ok good news. I picked up a $7 servo at the local hobby shop and connected it to channel 1/9 of the 8XR. Bingo. Throttle moves the servo. So now we can rule out the TX/RX setup, and the RX output questions. Later tonight (after some vino and dinner) I'll get to the next steps of the plan...

I'm not even having the superx connected when trying to calibrate my ESC throttle ranges... Here's the current plan: 1. Get my hands on a cheap servo for testing the outputs of the 8XR. 2. Try disconnecting all but signal wires on the ESC. 3. Try to reset 8XR to default settings and attach...

So just to be clear, SBUS D16 1-16 means that channels 1-8 are on the sbus and 9-16 are the physical 1-8 on the 8XR. I've copied channel 1 to 9. A good suggestion I received on email was to go buy a cheap servo and connect it to the RX and see if it responds to throttle. I will hope to try...

Yes exactly. Both CH1 and CH9 show throttle movements.

Well my inability to perform esc throttle calibration seems independent of the SuperX anyway, since it is done without the SuperX in the loop.

All three wires currently connected. Since the ESC's are getting power from the PDB I could easily cut the +/- on one, leaving only signal, and see if that helps.

Ok thanks. Just shooting in the dark!
