OpenTX 2.2 branch

Previous major version, now stable and still supported for normal use, but no new features or bugfixes will be implemented. 2.2 added support for the FrSky Horus X12S and X10 and Taranis Q X7 radios (plus X-Lite starting with 2.2.2). This version drops support for AVR-based radios, for those see 2.1 below. Please read this page for more details about other changes. As usual with each major release new SD card contents are needed, information is on the page.

Nightly builds

The nightly builds are automatic builds that are build every day. Asduring development, critical bugs might be introduced, these versionsshould not be used for flying. Additionally a backup of EEPROMshould be done before flashing these firmware. The nightly builds areonly intented to verify if bugfixes/new features work as expected. Weprovide no changelogs for these builds. To get a rough idea about thechanges you can look at thegit commit log.

OpenTX 2.1 branch

Deprecated, no more support will be given but firmware downloads are still available for the time being. It is the last version to support AVR-based radios (9X/9XR with stock board, Gruvin9x, DIY MEGA2560). 2.1 introduced completely new telemetry handling compared to 2.0, and also requires a different sound pack (see below). The original upgrade notes from 2.0 to 2.1 can be found here.

This branch is the first to support the FrSky Taranis X9E (tray version).

  • OpenTX 2.1.9(2016-09-15)

OpenTX 2.0 branch

Deprecated, no more support will be given but firmware downloads are still available for the time being. 2.0 introduced the Virtual Inputs system.This branch is the first to support the FrSky Taranis X9D+ and the Turnigy 9XR-Pro.

OpenTX 1.x branch

This branch is the first to support the original FrSky Taranis X9D, and is now deprecated. Firmware downloads are not possible anymore, the below companion is only provided for reference.

  • companion9x v1.52(2014-01-10)

Firmware downloads are exclusively available from within OpenTX Companion’s “Download” dialog. OpenTX Companion needs to be configured for the proper radio type and with the firmware options you choose, so that a customised firmware file with these options can be prepared for you by our build server and downloaded to your PC. OpenTX Companion is then used to load the firmware to your radio.
PLEASE NOTE that the firmware you run on the radio and companion you use on the PC to edit settings must be of the same branch!

Sound packs

Sound packs can be downloaded either through companion (the Download dialog will point you to the correct directory for the selected radio type), or from the links below:

Sound packs for OpenTX 2.0
Sound packs for OpenTX 2.1

About OpenTX versions

OpenTX versions are delivered as sets of major and minor releases. Major releases represent big steps with lots of feature changes and new functionality, which require changes in the way model data is stored and thus breaks compatibility with the previous one. Minor releases within a major one will fix bugs, correct functionality that needs changes, add new functionality that doesn’t require breaking compatibility, or remove features that are deemed useless.

As we are dependent on user feedback, a major release will start as “unstable” and will go through several rounds of refinement based on the gathered user experiences, which can initially cause radical changes in the way a feature operates between minor versions. Once things have settled and we have decent documentation available that major version will become “stable” i.e. its features will be frozen, and from that moment on any new minor versions would only be released to fix bugs that may be discovered.

We recommend “normal users” not to jump on a new major revision straight away as following the minor revisions of an unstable branch requires careful attention to the changelog to find out about things that may have changed and could potentially break existing setups, and documentation is usually not ready yet. They should thus stick with “stable” versions. Advanced users who want to be on the bleeding edge, want to provide feedback and/or suggest modifications, can find their way without documentation and can follow the evolution closely are welcome to do so during the unstable period, of course at their own risk.

Currently, the supported major versions of OpenTX are:

  • OpenTX 2.2
  • OpenTX 2.3

Major releases are independent, OpenTX companion 2.0.x will download firmware 2.0.x, OpenTX companion 2.1.x will download firmware 2.1.x etc. Updates between major versions are manual, you need to download the required companion yourself, no updates will be automatically offered. When upgrading from one major version to the next it is recommended to backup both your current firmware and settings, and to thoroughly check all of your models’ functions still operate correctly after the built-in upgrade procedure has completed. Downgrading models and settings is not possible, so should you want to switch back to an older major version you will need to either reload your backup or start from scratch again.

You can check the release history of OpenTX on this page.

For users wanting to upgrade a Taranis from a pre-2.0 version (either OpenTX or the FrSky firmware) who can’t get the DFU driver installed with Zadig but have a working “DfuSe Demonstration” flashing setup (as per FrSky instructions), a copy of OpenTX 2.0.5 packaged in a .dfu file is available here. Flash this using the FrSky method, then upgrade to the latest available version using the bootloader.

Except for the FrSKY Horus X12S all FrSKY Transmitters purchased new do not require a seperate Zadig or DFU driver install.

Let the record show that my experience reflects a “typical” consumer installation of the new operating system for Mac, titled OSX Lion, to the best of my ability.

For starters, Mac OSX Lion is fast! There have been numerous Leopards and other more quick-footed operating system titles from Apple, but the actual animal, Lion, is surely the fastest to date.

The most painful aspect, that is apparent immediately, is possibly Apple’s best new innovation: everything on the Mac now scrolls with two fingers, either going up and down or left to right, on a Mac Trackpad or Magic Mouse; but the scrolling feature is, at least out of the digital box, the reverse of what it was before.

That’s right, folks. If you slide your fingers down, like I have been doing on my 2008 MacBook Pro for three years now, the screen no longer goes down but rather does the reverse and goes up toward the top of whatever page or document that is being worked with. There currently is no option for reversing this, but it is probably easy to get used to, after a painful day or two drudges on.

I want to say this now to retain a certain consumer-level objectivity: I updated all of my Mac software yesterday, before the big OSX install, as recommended, and I purchased the remarkably cheap Lion on Day One, this morning, for less than thirty bucks at the Mac App Store. I do not have a preview Beta copy, or any blogger-special copy, of the OSX software. In other words, I bought it and have played with it just like anyone else.

Continuing with the hairy Lion evaluation, all of the touch controls are updated and most are different, by default. The Mac OS now acts as though users have incorporated their iPhone and iPad usage, as the pinching and clicking to zoom in on things and the page scrolling (with two fingers going left or right) is nearly identical to the portable computing devices’ touchscreen operation.

My patience wears thin as I write this, because I keep trying to scroll the wrong way and the simple four finger swipe that used to bring up every open App is gone.

But there are newer–and I suspect even I will admit–better controls added. For starters, the new Launchpad (yes, it is named after a Disney character) and Mission Control bring in programs as though they are all Apps. That means that anyone with a smart phone or e-reader, who has dealt with the buying and opening of Apps will have a more user-friendly experience computing on their everyday machines.

Launchpad finally makes all of the Mac’s Apps visible on gorgeously displayed pages, like the iPhone’s, so that users no longer have to sift through their hard drives to find a program not readily available on their dash. Three fingers, plus the thumb pinching or unpinching, opens and closes this device (it is easier to do than describe).

Mission Control replaces the empty space that would hold up all of a user’s Apps at once, for choosing one to go to, and this is also easily communicated with a four finger swipe (like you used to do), but only swiping upward (why this is, I do not know).

Horis Mac Os X

Overall, the new Mac OSX Lion takes a lot of getting used to, but it is sleek, sexy, and gorgeous at every speedy turn and curve. The controls are a rusty nail in the bum, while they are learned, but the System Preferences Trackpad section shows videos on each way to swipe, and there are options to turn these bloody things on and off (for instance, I had to turn back on the ability to click in the lower right to perform a secondary (right) click).

The download did take me a half an hour, via my wireless N router, and then the actual OSX installation took about another half an hour. This could have been better, in my humble opinion, and it could have been far worse.
