I also added my Mercedes 1850L truck, but I still haven’t finished building it, but at least I have the model icon… The content can be downloaded from the OpenTX website where you can get start screens, model icons, sound packs, telemetry scripts etc. This is also easier for later content changes for the transmitter.
I did this on my computer, so I didn’t have to have the transmitter connected while organizing the content. Now I know that it can be synchronized properly, it’s time to setup the content of the folders. I pointed to this folder in OpenTX settings, and clicked the “Synchronize SD” button at the menu bar, and everything was synced back to my computer
To make it easier to keep a backup in the future, I created a folder on my computer for synchronizing the transmitters SD card So at the moment, only the folder structure is on the SD card, no files the model creation wizard), you have to make sure the folder structure is correct on your SD card. That’s why I’m starting from scratch, reorganizing the content of the SD card. After switching through the different OpenTX versions, some features have been added, and some changes has been made to f.ex.
You should now have a couple of icons on your desktop, ignore the one called “TARANIS”, and open the SD card (could be called “NO NAME” or similar)Īt this moment my SD card is empty, except the folder structure. Put the transmitter into boot loader mode and connect a USB cable You can download resources for OpenTX from their website. To make sure you get all the features of OpenTX, you need to make sure the contents of the SD card is organized correctly. I created the “SOUNDS” folder, and everything worked. In my case I had been cleaning up the SD card contents (more on that later) and I hadn’t created any folders yet. If this doesn’t work, and you get an error like this If you are sure your radio is properly connected and recognized, this might be because you are missing a folder on your SD-card. When the firmware is downloaded, and the radio is connected, you can write the firmware immediately afterwards Choose a place to save it on your computer When clicking OK, you typically get prompted if you want to download the latest firmware, otherwise you can just click the button at the top, and it pick a firmware with the configuration you choose in the settings. You might want to setup the automatic backup folder and splash screen settings as well. You can also setup the path to Google Earth if you want to use this feature. Also note that I haven’t marked “EU” or else the D8 menu won’t be available when choosing receiver protocol. I don’t have helis, so I set it to “noheli” to skip those menus on my transmitter, and I activated lua. Open up settings in Companion, and configure the settings at your choosing.

OPENTX SOUND PACKS SOFTWARE
To begin with, I wanted to try to keep software updated, and I’m pushing my Taranis up to 2.1.9 which is the currently most stable version. I haven’t had the time to use my RC gear lately, and I’m trying to get some more time for my hobbies. The last time I used my Taranis was at OpenTX 2.0.15.
