Module Update Recommended • How to Flash Radiomaster TX16s Multi Protocol Module in EdgeTX

[@davehrcfpv]

Thank you for yet another clear and concise guide John

[@mickelson8332]

Yet again, I search on KZbin for the answer and you always seem to pop up. Not only with the solution, but delivered perfectly. Anyone would think you have done this before John. Cheers, Mick UK

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thank you. Glad to be helpful.

Great instructional video. I have recommended this radio to a few people and its nice to know they have a great resource to help them with upgrades.

John: Another great job! Now I've got a bunch of catching up on your great videos to do on my Eachine TX16S, Radiomaster TX12, & Jumper T-Lite! Jim

[@RCVideoReviews]

Have fun and thanks for the comment.

[@pfeerick]

The main reason to update the MPM firmware to a version equal to or later than v1.3.3.0 (as this is the minimum version being looked for) is that v1.3.3.0 introduced the ability to query the MPM for the complete list of protocols, subprotocols and feature flags, meaning the from that version onwards the MPM tells EdgeTX what your module is capable of. i.e. you don't need update EdgeTX when a future MPM firmware introduces new protocols / subprotocols, which you would have had to do before. Another great instructional video... thanks! :)

[@williamcox3852]

Another very good instructional video John. Keep up the good work.

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thanks, will do!

[@stevebarrow3042]

Always nervous with updating firmware but this was straight forward, the webpage has changed now and asks for the Firmware Type, I chose Air. Another great video thanks :)

[@RCVideoReviews]

You're welcome.

[@SBWings]

Glad you updated this topic! Even though there are few differences between updating the MPM on EdgeTX and OpenTX, a few things have changed in the last year, like no longer having to pick between INV and NON-INV, etc. Thanks, John!

[@RCVideoReviews]

Yup, the software is just getting better all the time.

[@jimworley7385]

Hi John, a couple of my planes are still using Spektrum receivers. I am getting telemetry alarms soon after I take off. Is there a way with EdgeTX to calibrate the RF frequency? Jim

[@RCVideoReviews]

There is a frequency fine tune for protocols that support it. If the frequencyfine tune doesn't appear on the bind screen with the protocol selected then it's not supported.

[@jimworley7385]

Thanks! I’ll try just shutting them off. Range tests seem to be fine.

can Radiomaster TX16s use two receiver at same time (one tbs and one FrSky)

Ok great. New EdgeTX TX16s coming tomorrow. Question: i have an E120 Heli that runs/Expects TAER. Then I have a second C189 MS500 RC ERA that I think is AETR. When you Choose Multi you can pick AETR (Default) or TAER or RETA. Since I need TAER for the E120 and I flash that. How do I deal with the other needing AETR. Saw notes about making it into whatever you need in Radio Channels? Thanks! 😊

[@RCVideoReviews]

I suggest you give this a read: www.multi-module.org/using-the-module/channel-order None of my RF tech has channel order requirements so I don't have practical knowledge on the issue.

Hello dear, I just bought one TX16S Mark II 4 in 1 but I cannot bind it to my flysky reciever FS-IA6B . The internal RF module status doesn't appear on the model set up. I don't know why. I did select Flsky2A and proceeded to binding but at the module status, it shows no multi-telemetry detected . Therefore, when I clicked bind. it did not bind to the receiver.

[@shaneintegra]

For the scripts do you completely replace the scripts folder or open up the newer one and drag and drop the LUA's in there

[@RCVideoReviews]

Drag and drop the new ones, it will overwrite old data. The MPM scripts do not include all scripts the radio ships with so if you delete the scripts folder, you'll have to replace stuff you may want.

Hope you can help me. I have the Radiomaster TX12 mkii with the cc2500 mpm module. Went to update from the mpm site but there were 2 .bin listed, a 64kb and a normal one, and I didn't know which to use. I instead had EdgeTX Companion download all updates for it but I think it actually downloaded for a 4in1 module. Flashing it seems to have bricked my mpm, because now it says "no telemetry" where the version number should be, and trying to reflash with any other .bin it fails saying "FW update error device not responding" Any help would be appreciated.

[@RCVideoReviews]

The cc2500 isn't really an MPM module. In any case, it doesn't get the firmware from the MPM site.

What if mine isn't flash that update is needed? Although I definitely don't have the latest version loaded currently. Thanks in advance!

My advice is to review the changelog and see if there's anything introduce from the prior version you think you need. If there isn't, and your firmware isn't complaining, then it's ok to leave it as-is.

[@billbollinger7305]

hey i don,t have that fine tune for my receivers like your page,maybe cause i fly planes?

[@RCVideoReviews]

It's based on the protocol for the Rx, not the airframe. I did a frequency fine tune at the field for a plane today.

[@mikebollinger2835]

I am using the radio master r88

[@RCVideoReviews]

Frequency fine tune appears in the module configuration area when the protocol you chose supports it. If the protocol you're using doesn't support it, it won't be visible. i.e. Set the protocol to FrSky D16 and you'll see it show up.

[@thecutebros3005]

I got a No MULTI-TELEMETRY message after the firmware update...so not sure what happened

[@RCVideoReviews]

You probably got the wrong firmware: In this situation, one of the following may be the cause: The selected module is not installed - External is selected when Internal should be, or vice-versa The wrong firmware is installed on the module - the wrong radio firmware, or telemetry inversion setting was used The module is defective A somewhat common fault is bad solder joints on the 5-pin module bay connector

[@RCVideoReviews]

They enable certain over the air capabilities like DSM forward programming.

[@pfeerick]

They also let you configure some aspects of the MPM, such as the ID it uses for binding (i.e. if you want to use two different MPMs to control your stuff without having to re-bind), and there are helper scripts that can name all your channels for you (useful if you are using some weird protocol for a miniquad or something and don't know what all the channels it supports are).
