Pick Configure, and you are given a screen to tell RF what channel to map to what RF function. No need to have any RF interface box (wired or wireless) at all.
Windows will detect it and set it up as a joystick/gamepad. The TX screen will prompt for Joystick or Mass Storage. No need to get into bootloader mode, like you do for Companion. Just plug a normal USB into the Taranis (the same that you use for Companion). Now, turn on the TX, and select your new model.
In this variant, the order of the channels is not important, as long as the order listed on the input tab for ch1-8 match the order for 1-8 on the mixer tab.īurn your model (assuming you are using Companion), unplug and turn off the TX. In the mixer, do the same for 1-8, and then you can continue on, defining as many as 24 additional switches as before, for controlling functions in RF. With it as a Master, you can define channels 1-8 for your sticks and sliders. Keep both RF modules turned off - no need to transmit, and it saves battery. Referring to the previous setup instructions for details, you can instead skip making the TX a slave. Silly Taranis - there is always another way to do something. Taranis does have a "Joystick" mode, that may be an alternative to the above, but I haven't played with that at all. Assign what you want ch 5-8 to control (flip your switches while in the Edit screen to see which line is active, and then select whatever Realflight channel you want for that one).Ĭheck the "Enable Radio Mixes" and "Enable Dual Rates and Expo" boxes IF you want to do those tasks in RF and not on the Taranis. Edit the profile, reversing what needs to be reversed (mine needed none). In RF, choose the new TX - use the Futaba profile to start. I have mine cabled from the Taranis to the Interlink using the buddy box cord from RF. Just set it as the source, leave the "switch" line blank. In the Mixes tab, the above should track: CH1 = I1:Ail Weight(+100%), etc.įor channels 5-8 in mixes, make sure the source is the switch/slider you want to use, with a weight of 100%. Nope, there will be no more than 4 channels possible here. Make sure under Inputs, I1=A, I2=E, I3=T, I4=R Make sure under Setup for the model, it is set for "slave" mode, and channels 1-8. I followed these instructions which work well: Using 2.2.1 software, both on the TX and Companion.
