Enable D8 mode on your EU-LBT Taranis

[@David-tc9iz]

This is exactly all the information I was looking for!!!! A huge thank you for your explanations. I was struggling with the D16 mode of my Taranis XQ7 which binds very poorly with Mobula 7, and I couldn't understand why I only had D16 and ACCESS available..

[@WhirlyBloke]

You're very welcome!

[@Toshy12]

That works perfectly for me! Thank you very much! The only thing is that I had to turn my Taranis ON to flash it and not off. And it worked. 👍

[@WhirlyBloke]

Good job!

[@stevelooong]

thank you so much, also works perfectly with taranis qx7 :) life saver!

[@WhirlyBloke]

Glad it helped!

[@geefpv4859]

Thank you so much for doing this video. I've been going crazy trying to bind to my whoops 👍

[@WhirlyBloke]

Glad it helped.

[@dorelcodrutpatrasca2993]

The best of the best, all this staff I learn myself the hard way but you point very well the upgrade with the radio off, tick off the en, and copy the data via a sd-card adapter

[@lakeness1979]

Thanks very much. Shouldn't really be such a massive sense of achievement just from getting that blasted receiver to talk to my transmitter, but this calls for a celebratory cup of tea.

[@WhirlyBloke]

And biscuits. Good job.

[@paulg5437]

This solution does beg another question: while it's possible to re-select D8 in an OpenTX non-EU firmware (which is the international FCC mode); what mode does the internal TX module need to be in (FCC or EU-Lbt)? There appears to be 3 flavours of TX firmware (FCC, Early EU and EU-LBT). Not being sure of compatibility issues, I opted for EU-LBT in OpenTX and the TX module of my X9D and bought a plugin multi-protocol module from Banggood. This gives me D8 on the module plus a raft of other protocols notably DMS2/DMSX. Hope you find this helpful.

[@parlundqvist1670]

Thanks for a good instruction - but - managed to bind but when I go to RSSI I get the information no RSSI data? Is there anything else I missed or had to do?

[@WildpixFPV]

Hey there, thanks for the video! I have the taranis X9D+ SE 2019 .. It now has its own version in the "Settings" dropdown list. But there is NO eu or luac to click! or better, to not click haha.. Difficult one, because it only has D16 mode.. No way to fly whoop boards without soldering own rx.. :/ Any ideas?

[@komlanfolly122]

hello I have been delivered in France a radio and receiver R9 AND R9M LONG MODULE WEAR in fcc non EU (europ) I can not make the connection I do not understand and in addition I have to change the firmwar of all, I must change the radio receiver and module? thank you

[@user-mo4ul5td2p]

The eu option in not available on the x9d plus se 2019 firmware so no more D8 activation possible ???? i would like to avoid external Xjt usage

[@WhirlyBloke]

That's cos FrSky have dropped support for many of their legacy transmitters and receivers. I used to be a big fan of their gear, but not any longer. 😒

[@fredheimer]

helpfull video. do you think it will also work with the newer Taranis X9D+ 2019 ACCESS transmitter in LBT Version ? What is to do to bind it with older R8 pro Receiver

[@WhirlyBloke]

No idea. I've steered clear of Access for the moment.

[@Tjup]

ANNNNNd why did u end video in D16 mode?

[@Didi-dd7xt]

Hi Nice video. I have Horus X10, could you advise how to enable D16 mode. ( currently my radio is set to D8). Thanks look forward to your advices

[@WhirlyBloke]

Sorry I don't have any experience with the Horus X10.

[@Didi-dd7xt]

Ok no problem

[@NeophytosY]

I really need help, there is no luac option

[@johanneshendrikrenebuitenh5542]

Hi, finally after 2 years I use this trick in order to fly with D8 protocol. One thing is unclear to me. At 6:56 you copy those SD files on de SD card. And I presume you insert this in the taranis. What do I need to do after with these files that are on the SD card? Is the taranis automatically using this content or do I need to set it up in the taranis menu?

[@WhirlyBloke]

Just copy them onto the SD card, over writing the existing ones and put it back in the radio. You don't need to do anything else cos the radio uses whatever is needs.

[@johanneshendrikrenebuitenh5542]

@@WhirlyBloke thanks a lot for the reaction. So in the meanwhile I was able to bind and fly in D8 mode without a sd in the radio! Now I also will put in the sd incl. your recommended files.

[@bionic3604]

I still can't see D8 mode ! i don't know why its killing me - i downloaded the firmware and the corresponding SD card info and i dunno why its never there !!

[@WhirlyBloke]

I've never had a problem, but TBH since FrSky went down hill, I haven't touched a Taranis for about 5 years.

[@chriscflint]

Regret this does not work on the Taranis X9D Plus 2019 version.

[@WhirlyBloke]

It works on my x9D plus.

I need d16 non eu for tiny whoop ? Do you have a video to flash XJT module it’s been driving me mad want to fly my tbs tiny whoop

Hi, Thanks for your video !! I have issues. If I let the radio turned on, it doesnt work, if its off, companions doesnt recognized it ...

[@WhirlyBloke]

No idea.

Thanks that was really helpful.

[@aymanbabaRS6]

Great video thanks. I have the 2019 vesion EU-LBT will this proceedure work? In radio type can i choose XD9+ (and not the "XD9+ 2019")?

[@WhirlyBloke]

Either should work, but it's best to back up your transmitter configuration first so you can easily roll back if something doesn't work.

[@AlgorhythmKid]

Didn't work. I'm using the Q7s would that have anything to do with it??? I selected the correct model etc in OpenTX. Am I alone in the fact that NOTHING ever works. I literally spend 99% of my time troubleshooting. It's starting to get a bit old now. I'm seriously considering selling up

[@WhirlyBloke]

That's the challenge and fun of FPV and quads. There's always something to learn. 😉

[@AlgorhythmKid]

@@WhirlyBloke Unfortunately, my spare time is extremely precious. With family and a very demanding business schedule, sitting staring at blogs, tutorials and youtube videos for hours on end during my limited free time, is not much fun anymore. Especially when it's over something as ridiculous as making my TX say the letters D8 on my internal RF! Maybe soon something will click, but at the moment I just spend my time in a perpetual cycle of confusion and WTF moments as new issues arise after fixing one problem to another.

[@bt4670]

This has worked for me and according to the comments, lots of others. It maybe you have a different configuration/version of firmware or OpenTX. Let me know if you find out.

Hi, I done this but now my transmiter shows XJT-D8 and XJT-D16 and it won't bind. How can make it to show only D8?

Just copy them over the top of the old ones.

Can I do this to the X9 Lite and bind it to a D8 receiver such as the TinyHawk 2 ? Thanks

[@WhirlyBloke]

I don't have an X9 lite to try it on, but I see no reason why not. Remember to back up your TX before you make any changes, so you can put it back how it was if you need to.
