taranis qx7 display screens quotation

I bought the R9m gear already >...for the QX7 and because most everyone was out of stock on the R9M full package kit (R9 receiver with servo plug pins ) r9 receivers tough to find so bought the R9 slim+ OTA only to find about 20 wires and not much help with instructions so I bought a complete R9M kit with the R9 receiver I can just plug in and bind to get in the air now! bought it from a seller on ebay and ofcourse it came from china..no returns .... so I am locked into R9M for now

I will figure out the R9 slim+ OTA wiring later ....its been a long journey almost 1/4 of a year just to get the QX7 with all the companies I have ordered one from and they all screw up the order and finally I get what I think is the QX7 to learn its not really a QX7......and months later Im still not getting in the air long range till I get the damned transmitter that integrates with the R9m....the incompetence in business these days blows my mind

so after reading the last post you made I guess I am becoming more confused about my 2019 R9M"s compatibility....will the R9M 2019 version & R9 receiver work with a QX7 and or the Jumper or do I have incompatibility issue here with the 2019 R9m version I alread have too.. are you saying the R9M 2019 I already have maybe incompatible with frsky transmitters unless I accept this access version??? yikes Im getting more confused now

is opentx absolutely required to get the R9M and taranis to work ? ....no just bind and fly ?...really... a guy that buys the taranis package with the R9M needs to buy a computer to download opentx sofware to make this factory combo of Taranis and R9M made by the same company work... can the models not be setup using the transmitter buttons? opentx absolutely required?

man there sure are alot of guys using taranis and the r9m and giving good reviews of the product, I dont know if Im just a dolt been sold incompatible products and totally lost or you just have a different opinion of the product ?

have you have tried to simply shorten the duration before releasing all three switches.. I hold all three no longer that a second.. but know if I hold these in too long with my Q7XS the bootloader fails to display it"s prompt, but what it does its different that yours.. it boots up OpenTX normally .. my screen doesn"t go blank.

A few months ago I wanted some custom sound files for my Taranis QX7 because come on, whats the purpose of having openTX and customizable files if you can make it your own. So since I was big into Rick and Morty at the time I decided to make a RM sound pack, after not really finding anything i went through and found a couple sound clip packs for games and got a good amount, but i still wanted more, so i went through a bunch of episodes to try to fill in the spaces, and then had to convert them all in audacity to the right format, rate and all that, so it took a while.

Step 9: Configure your switches to play sounds you can follow a good post from Oscar Liang here for more detailed post until i can get my QX7 in my hands. Basically you go to Special Functions screen select a SF, and flick the switch you want and it will change to that switch, then change the function to Play Track or BgMusic if you use one of the 0Song1.wav files i threw in there. For BgMusic i used a  three way switch, assigned two positions to play two different songs, then i assigned the third position to nothing so the songs will stop playing(ill post a screenshot of my exact setup soon.).

As you propably know there"s a free space for a bluetoothmodul (only installed in qx7s). Is it posible to solder in a bluetooth modul(f.e. a hc05) or not?

Either module is likely to connect to your phone, but the module that fits the QX7 is a BT 4.0 Low energy module and Windows doesn"t support that without a special program being written to communicate with it.

You can also use the bluetooth to communicate with eepskye on the PC, and receive the channel information, as well as display the radio screen on the computer monitor...

Give me a couple of days to wire a HC-05 in to my QX7. As the QX7 uses the same USART as one option on the 9Xtreme, I have the code to drive it readily available, so I"ve already built ersky9x for the QX7 with bluetooth support for a HC-05 (and HC-06!).

I need to document how to wire the HC-05 to the QX7 main board. From experience on other radios, using the 3.3V supply directly to the HC-05 works OK.

I"ve now got a HC-05 wired into my QX7 and the radio is "talking" to it. I now need to sort a few other menu items and make sure all the other support code is working.

I haven’t been able to use/turn on, my addition of the Frsky version bluetooth module to my Qx7. The otx menu doesn’t offer a trainer Bluetooth option?

I wanted to try this BT trainer feature in hopes of recommending the S version because of all the added features. As it stands now, the best as I see it, is to buy the $110 or less Qx7 and add the Hall effect gimbals if more precision is needed, when it’s needed.

I think Mike just implemented the cheap HC-05 Bluetooth module for the Qx7 in the latest Ersky9x version.. It can also do trainer, as well as other cool stuff.

My goal is to stay with the setup as it comes to better help those with the features. In the case of the Frsky Bt, it’s an easy hardware install in the many Qx7’s showing up at my field the $110 price. I can do the install.

I’m putting the 4in1 on hold Mike now that I know what happened. This would be better time spent since it’s a question no one has answered to date on how well does the Frsky Bt module work in a Qx7, if added as a diy upgrade.

This is a review of the Taranis Q X7 by Frsky, a RC transmitters (TX). It’s just been released, and it’s the younger sibling of the Taranis X9D – probably one of the most popular TX among FPV mini quad pilots.

The Taranis Q X7 offers two choices of colour: white and black. Comparing to the Taranis X9D, it’s around 15mm wider, around 10mm lower in height and 10-15mm thinner. It weights 619g without a battery, about 70g lighter than the X9D.

It has a futuristic and minimalistic shape with sharper corners and not so much of ovality like the X9D. In every aspect, the QX7 looks like a totally different TX.

There are 6 switches and two pots on the radio. Taranis X9D has 2 extra switches and 2 extra pots on the side. There is no name labeling for the switches on the TX. That information can only be found in the manual and the orientation is visible on the screen.

The Q X7 LCD Screen has lower resolution than Taranis X9D which is noticeable right away. It is also narrower, and more pixelated. There is no option to change backlight color – it is blue-ish green.

Haptic feedback is improved as well. It does work nicer compared to X9D where vibrations felt like the case was about to explode. It is more gentle with the QX7.

The gimbals are not the best, but they are okay. These are ball bearing gimbals, same as the stock X9D gimbals. They are not interchangeable with Taranis X9D gimbals (M9) because of the different size and mounting holes pattern (around 10mm smaller than on X9D). However Frsky will release the hall sensor gimbals upgrade for the QX7 soon – X7 gimbals (need to be purchased separately).

To open the Taranis Q X7, there are 4 screws to be removed. Unlike X9D, after removing screws the back panel can be detached completely because there is no electronics hanging off it.

Taranis Q X7 does not come with a battery and charger. There is no charging circuit inside the TX. It comes with an AA battery tray (6xAA) fitted in the back of the radio.

I have tested this radio in various locations and conditions (park, underground car park) typically flown by some FPV pilots, and they have not noticed any difference in terms of range and signal strength comparing to the Taranis X9D.

Taranis Q X7 came pre-flashed with OpenTX 2.2. OpenTX firmware is also used on other Taranis radios but this one is customised to work with Q X7 hardware specifically, which means some options might be omitted. For instance there is no backlight color change of the LCD screen nor model icon available. I believe this is due to the limits of the screen.

The price of a Taranis X9D is a bit steep for pilots with tight budgets, apart from getting a Turnigy 9X/9XR and DJT/XJT module now we have a new alternative! The Taranis Q X7 was made for those who want cheaper Frsky solution without compromising much of quality.

If you already have a Taranis X9D then you probably wouldn’t need the Q X7, because you already have the full package. If you’re a beginner or someone want to step into FrSky “ecosystem”, then the Taranis Q X7 is a great option.

When the transmitter is powered on the screen displays an image for a few seconds. The appearance and duration is configured on the radio set up screen. The image can be changed using Companion when the firmware is flashed on to the transmitter.

When the transmitter is turned on and when a model is selected and loaded the firmware does a number of checks. These checks may result in a number of different warning screens being displayed after the splash screen. The warning screens are cleared by either fixing the condition that resulted in the warning or pressing EXIT.

The main view is the default view after the splash and warnings screens. This view shows information such as the model name, trim positions, transmitter battery voltage, flight mode and timer one. There are four main view screens. More…

Telemetry screens are optional and are displayed if configured on the display screen under the model screens section. They display model information as number or bars, or display a Lua script’s screen. There may be up to four telemetry view screens. More…

Model menu screens show information and allow editing of settings related to the current model selected and loaded. There are 11 or more model menu screens depending on build options chosen and transmitter being used. For example two of the screens (heli setup and custom scripts) are optional. More…

Radio menu screens show information and allow editing of settings related to the transmitter and are independent of the current model selected and loaded. There are 9 radio setup, action and information screens. More…

Basically the guide will be the same for the QX7 except there are less switches and no sliders on that tx and the screen display looks a bit different. There are no major changes between 2.1 and 2.2 except the latter now includes the Horus and QX7 transmitters. They have altered the look of the Companion and Simulator somewhat, but that is mostly cosmetic.
