Frsky HORUS : How to update your FrOS FIRMWARE

[@1NoFear1Daylan]

Just the basics like arm and setup flight modes. Thank you big time!!!

[@somerton123]

Thanks for the video, good clear instructions well done.

[@flypilot]

somerton123 thanx

[@IAWS]

Many thanks, nervous but updated fine :)

[@flypilot]

sweet :)

[@somerton123]

Thanks much easier than reading an instruction book, can you do one on programming!

[@flypilot]

Thank you for the comment, appreciate it, unfortunately I don't have this transmitter anymore so no more videos on the Horus I'm afraid..

[@joestubbs3138]

This video is V good - as it is was made in Oct 2016 today is Dec 2020 - please, are there any changes to your video procedure that needs to be changed - because I'm a little hesitant to carry a procedure that might Brick my X10S, although your presentation is the best I've come across - at the moment the X10S Ver is 1.3.07 my Tx has HW = X10 EU14 ; SW = 1.2.05...joe

[@flypilot]

Thank you for the kind words 👍 Honestly i have no idea as i sold the system many years ago..sorry i can not be of any help..

[@steffracer]

thanks, this was very helpful for me :-)

[@flypilot]

thanks, appreciate the comment

[@farmingraptor2522]

ok so i did as u but my x10s express got stuck on the last step and its saying Component IXJT Updating... This will take a few seconds and i have waited for 12 hours for it to complete but its still stuck. any ideas on what i should do?

[@arado240dd]

i have had issues with upgrading from 1.2.XX to 1,5.XX, there is no info on the issues, like missing icons, putting telemetry thru channels like RSSI. , why cant this be easy, its always hard and full of unknowns

[@Mike-01234]

Thanks for the video strange they have nothing in the manual about how to do this. I downloaded the latest firmware from their website and there is no bin folder lot of other folders also no one explains if you have to step upgrade or can you just jump from older 1.2.x to 1.6

[@larryfitch8787]

I ask because I didn't quite follow your directions exactly. Not because I didn't think you were correct, but because the screens on my computer (Win.10) didn't come up quite as your video showed. I had to use WinZip to unzip the files. Anyway, it went down a different path, maybe ending at the same point, maybe not?

[@flypilot]

The rabitt hole is always deeper than it first seems ;)

[@marekmodzinski1961]

Please tell me how to set Taranisa HORUS X12S to work well Tarot 680 PRO with the name Mv2.

[@finishpro56]

The firmware updates 1.2.22 thru 1.2.24 do not have the different models listed, only bin files which do nothing when put in sd slot and turned on as you've shown!

[@flypilot]

Not sure I follow, I just updated mine to .24 and just copied the correct bin file (1224_frtx) to the firmware folder as shown in video and updated no problems..

[@finishpro56]

so you copied the 1224 bin file to sd, installed in x12s, held enter button and pushed power button and it started installing?

[@finishpro56]

does 1224 include the updates from 1222 and 1223?

[@flypilot]

Yes

[@finishpro56]

Thanks! I figured it out. Sorry for the dumb questions. I'm new to the rc world!!

[@noblephares8009]

Could you do an updated video for the most recent firmware upgrade, I followed your steps on the most recent files and nothing happens for me, but there are also 3 separate firmware beta files and no indication of which should be used. Thank You

[@WarbirdPiLOT]

Yeah these thing change quickly, unfortunatley I dont have the radio anymore so unable to help you, sorry, hope you figure it out anyhow...best of luck

[@neo39wfpv72]

hey flypilot , den nye firmwaren til connex har nettopp kommet ut , ? fungerer meget nice , men trenger den linsa ? om noen vet hva slags linse jeg skal bruke ?

[@flypilot]

Ja du må ha denne linsa: www.globe-flight.de/Amimon-Connex-Prosight-14-mm-HP-lens

[@neo39wfpv72]

hehe 30 euro for ei linse , vel det er jo værdt det då :D

[@neo39wfpv72]

testet h+ i går , med stock linse , det er like lite latency så hp mode ;)bare bilde er vesentlig bedre :)

[@johnnyjeppesen6992]

just to be sure.... you can change the eu firmware in the transmitter module to the non eu firmware ?

[@flypilot]

Yes, no problem

[@Silver182]

Can't get to the different models as you show.... from the 2:35 min---2:54 min in your video. When I click on them my computer asks what program is to open this file?? Help

[@flypilot]

Not sure I follow, you don't click them, you copy the file to the Sd card and insert it n your Horus

[@Silver182]

I understand copying the file to Sd card....but ....when.... I click on the bin file my Windows un-zip/ zip program doesn't open to the mode 1 or mode 2 like on your video 2:37min. I guess I need some other zip/unzip software but I don't want to purchase any software to do that. Do you have a link to software that works or some other solution why didn't FrSky use zip software that comes with Windows?

[@flypilot]

Try using Winrar. Frsky has changed the folder layout on their recent updates but the procdure is the same...

[@Silver182]

Your video is very simple & easy to follow...until I ran onto that .bin file extraction problem. I tried to describe what happens on 2 computers I have. One is running Windows 8 the other win7. The win zip program built in works great until I get to your one click Min 2:34 of your video. You click once or twice....whatever but the first .bin file you click just opens up and displays four more .bin files. For whatever reason I can't click the first .bin file to produce the 4 choices of modes & EU or FCC types. What zip program is in your computer? Could you just send me the .bin file & I will copy it onto my SD card and I will be done with this. Since it's so easy send me the latest non-Beta version from...1.2.21 just send me the file named ...... mode2_fstx.bin ...from version 1.2.21 & one file from Beta 1.2.25_frtx.bin which is.... mode2_frtx.bin Just send me those two files, not a link the the FrSky website not the zipped file that comes from the Web site just those two files. The file sizes are only about 1.9 kb....so attaching them to an e-mail..and send them to me.. should be easy. Lee

[@flypilot]

Well, like I said frsky has changed the file layout and naming since I made this video, now you just extract the files and copy the 1225_frtx.bin file found in the 1.2.25(normal) folder into your Firmware folder on the Horus. Hope this helps.

[@somerton123]

Can you do a upgrade video on firmware 1.4.04 please. The firmware upgrade is the same as you have done here but there are other folders that need to be replaced to get icons etc. back. I can make no sense of the instructions from Frsky .

[@flypilot]

somerton123 I would love to. But unfortunately I don't have the system anymore..sorry

[@1NoFear1Daylan]

Can you please do a video on how to setup switches on the Horus X12S

[@flypilot]

1NoFear1 Daylan sure I can, any particular function you would like to see?

[@PagesFlyingCircus]

Thank You!

[@flypilot]

Your velcome, subscribe for more videos like this :)

[@larryfitch8787]

Nice video! I believe I have new (1.2.25) firmware on my micro SD card. Any way of checking it is OK before I put it in my Horus, and try to update the firmware to something wrong?

[@flypilot]

Hi, Thanx, As long as you got the file from Frsky it should be ok, there is not any way of knowing if its good or bad I am afraid :) Good luck ;)

[@rayhenderson9661]

NOTE: You can only flash internal antenna in FrOS and NOT OpenTX

[@doublehelix.]

Hi, did you purchased the Horus or it was a review/test sample? thx

[@flypilot]

Hi there, this is a production unit from Horusrc which I bought and paid full price for.

[@doublehelix.]

ok, thx for your info. Cheers.

Mine don't want to boot on updating screen. I have the normal boot-up sequence (hardware X12SEU14, soft 1.2.15) :/

[@flypilot]

Maxime Daout are you holding the enter button while booting up?

[@maximusaugustus4976]

Nope. I have to ?

[@finishpro56]

Happy New Year to you FLYPILOT! I have a video request. I am planning on installing an autopilot on my new plane. I will need to be able to assign specific autopilot functions to 3 position switches. I am clueless as to how this is done on the x12s. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Title could be "Switches for Dummies"!

[@flypilot]

Thank you for your suggestion, but have you seen my flightmode switch video? With small change it is very similar and works the same way..

[@rayhenderson9661]

How to reinstall Horus FrOS X10S & X12S Download latest firmware (there is .bin & .dfu files in the zip file) & FrOS SD contents from FrSky to PC Copy SD Contents to a new SD Card (make sure there is a “SYSTEM” folder and if not then create one). Copy the file “X10/X12 Bootload 1219.dfu” to the desktop Copy the “.bin file” to the root directory of the SD Card and also to the “SYSTEM” folder. Put SD card into transmitter. Install “STM32bootloader” using Zadig from zadig.akeo.ie/ Install Companion9x and run (go to settings and setup transmitter). Connect transmitter to PC with transmitter switched off, Click on “Write Firmware to Radio” and select the “X10/X12 Bootload 1219.dfu” file on desktop, then write it to the radio. Click on “remove USB device” and disconnect transmitter. Turn on transmitter by holding down the “Enter Button” and the “Power Button”. Select the “.bin” file you copied to the SD Card and follow on screen instructions. Restart and that’s it all done!

[@joevangorder1006]

Well written^ I am using FR-OS exclusively and don't fully understand the companion app but it's that ONLY for Open TX or is there a companion type app for FR-OS as well?

[@joematarc5245]

do you know how to load sounds and pictures on the TX?

[@WarbirdPiLOT]

Yes, watch my other videos on the Horus: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2LGg6qaiMymn7s

[@tommyjakobsen5504]

You forget to tell the >SD-card NEED to be Called FrOS, otherwice it will NOT work

[@flypilot]

I made this video a few years ago, surely some things have changed, thank for the update 👍👍

[@joestubbs3138]

Havard - all is well - managed to download latest FW ''YIPPEE''...joe

[@flypilot]

Good stuff 👍👍

[@tommyjakobsen5504]

What to do if that UPDATE goes Wrong, WHY can´t anybody answer how to Factory boot Horus X12S.. my Radio is dead, and I simply do not understand What was Wrong, i Hate My fucking Horus X12S, because of the Very Unuser friendly software.

[@tomas8155]
