RadioMaster Zorro Binding & Fine Frequency Tune Receivers

[@richardo212]

Thank you for your demonstration of why frequency fine tuning on a Radiomaster transmitter is important and also for your clear explanation of how to do it. I've just bought a Zorro so this video was just what I needed.

[@JonathanSalt-c7t]

Hi, do you know how to setup twin props with the zorro 4 in 1...? Also maybe as an additional variable speed to act as rudder.....Thank you..👍

Hi Jonathon, this video will help you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3_Wk6Cem6urr6Msi=Q2fX6OQhjxCNSYHc

[@vascoalmeida9805]

Thks for your clear video. I tried binding a XK K110S, but failed. For a start, when I press the BND button in the SETUP, it does not give me all thise options that you show; which is odd, since I have a recently bought Zorro CC2500 (EdgeTx 2.7.0). Any hints, please? Thks in advance.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Vasco, the MPM 4 in 1 does have a lot more protocol options. Are you selecting S-FHSS?

[@vascoalmeida9805]

@@the-happy-RC-flyer Thks for your prompt reply. Yes, definitely. I usually fly it bound to an XK X7.

[@vascoalmeida9805]

Further to my reply above: I have a config for another bird, which has not arrived yet. So, changing the receiver number gave me an instant bind on the XK K110S. Thank you again for your help.

[@awsstvawsstv2809]

Thanks for the tutorial but I do not see this option with DSM receiver from Spektrum. Any idea how to do this for Spektrum receiver

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Which radio and which firmware are you using? If EdgeTX select Mode Multi and then DSM and RF Protocol Auto. You may need to select the protocol it Auto does not select the correct protocol.

[@awsstvawsstv2809]

@@the-happy-RC-flyer hi yes I picked right one and it binds well and all but I don’t see this frequency tune. Anyway did more digging and it seems this radio firmware has issue with telemetry meaning while it says RRSI signal is low. In reality it is not it. So most people are disability the telemetry option

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

@@awsstvawsstv2809 if you do not see the fine frequency option you do not need to fine frequency the receiver you are using.

A bought the Radiomaster Zorro and initially I was having g trouble binding. Then once I got several of my drones binded, I realized that the sticks and other functions were backwards (inverted). Even in the simulator the sticks are all out of sink. Can you help? I have the 4-in-1 version.

[@justiceonly9105]

Hi, Very grateful for you. Does it work with DSMR protocol for Spectrum RC Cars? Thank you

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi, I have checked the multi protocol module website and the following can be bound to the MPM Spektrum DSM2 and DSMX compatible receivers.

Hi Im in page 2 looking for frequency tune but its not there, Im using radiomaster new pocket radio and just cant connect my Speedybee master 5 v2

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

If you do not see the Fine Frequency Tune option then you do not need to do the process for the receiver you are binding to the radio.

[@randomstuff8286]

I have and issue with 4in1 i created a model and bind the radio with that drone, its flies well without issue(flysky reciever) after that i made another model and bind with another quad its works well but when i choose the first model its is not connecting and i need to bind again i dont why this is happening

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Did you give the models the same receiver number?

[@randomstuff8286]

I am planning to add external expressed lrs nano module for zorro 4 in 1 does it work?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Yes it works perfectly I have an ExpressLRS external module attached to my Zorro radio.

Thank you!!@👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@mattfarr1323]

I tried to bind to my little Blade Inductrix FPV+ using the "Quad" model already in the menu, (it binds to my Spectrum Dx6i DSMX with no problem), it seems to BIND to the zorro, but I can get no action from the quad, and a constant Telemetry lost/recovered warning? I do not see the fine tune option showing? I am Brand new to the Radiomaster Zorro, and It is fresh out of the box with the Full 4 in 1 protocol. I can get it to work with my Simulator fine. Where do I start? I cannot find much help in the manual.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Matt I need a little more information what receiver does the drone have?

[@mattfarr1323]

@@the-happy-RC-flyer it is a Spectrum, I believe DSM. I believe I may need to program an ARM switch. But not sure which one. Or how to tell which one the Drone will accept.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

@@mattfarr1323 there is a bit of work todo to set up your drone in OpenTX or EdgeTX. I would suggest checking my playlists where I did a series of videos start to finish setting up your drone. This will help you. If not already a member of a club I would suggest seeing if you can join one where someone will help you.

Hi Bill, i have done the frequency funing am i doing it good i got lowest -37 and highest 45 so if I'm right then it's 12 devide x 2 is 6?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

If you readings are -37 & +45 then +8 / 2 = 4

@Bill Clark sorry i mean -37 and + 49 yeah i understand really good thank you appreciated

[@kimchristiansen2127]

hi I have a problem with my radio master zorro I have tried to fine tune the frequency on it but every time I turn it on and want to fly with my omp hobby m2 evo it says the signal is critical is this something you might be able to help with is something I'm doing wrong I'm doing the same as you show in your video greetings Kim

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Kim, if you have fine frequency tuned your receiver and still having signal is critical warnings you need to check the receivers antenna is connecting correctly and positioned away from other electrical interference not next to other wires or servos etc.

Hey bill I have elrs 2.4gh Receiver I’m having trouble binding it to my radio master zero elrs 2.4 version please I need help

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Jean, firstly which receiver are you wanting to bind to your Zorro? Are you trying to bind a new receiver? Have you set a binding phrase? Do you know if both the radio and receiver are on the same firmware version? Can you tell me what the LED is doing on the receiver with both the radio and receiver on?

[@hcthounder]

hello there I need help I'm using crossfire everything is binded. but wen I got to fly the drone fly crazy. I took my v2 off my radiomaster tx16s and put it on the zorro everything works but when I get in the air it make sharp turns or it speeds off fast. plz help

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Have you checked all the settings on the radio and in Betaflight are correct? It could be your flight controller, have you calibrated the gyro?

[@hcthounder]

@@the-happy-RC-flyer I did what u said and it worked its flying like it did with the tx16s now thanks alot...

[@akinakande1242]

Hello I am new to RC plane/quads etc and recently bought a Radiomaster Zorro 4 in 1 but unfortunately, it wouldn't bind with a Frsky R8 Pro (Access). Is 4 in 1 Zorro not compatible with Access protocol?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Yes you are correct you can only bind ACCST receivers to the module in your Zorro radio.

[@srqTagle]

Will the Zorro CC2500 version work with the R161 receiver or do you need the 4n1 version?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

The R161 will bind to the CC2500

[@srqTagle]

@@the-happy-RC-flyer thanks, I found it online too. I saw your video on the R161 and the patent infringement- didn’t know this!

Hey Bill. If there is no option for fine tune is it still needed or is there another way to fine tune the frequency?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

If the option is not shown you are ok because you do not needed to do the process for your receiver.

[@JustEnoughRC]

@@the-happy-RC-flyer thank you Bill. Just trying to get the best signal possible. Do you think adding an external antenna is possible and or will it help with range?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

@@JustEnoughRC the Zorro does have an external antenna which when in position is horizontally polarised but you can unclip it and position it vertically. On the RadioMaster website there is an antenna upgrade kit which I think would possibly improve the signal. I will get hold of one and do the upgrade.

@@the-happy-RC-flyer sounds great Bill I will wait for your upgrade before I try it. thank you very much Jude

Hello which receiver are you using for this radio controller? I've seen that its compatible with Frsky protocols, I already have an X8R module do you think it would work?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

In the video I used a D16 receiver. If the X8R is a D8 it should bind to the MPM in the Zorro.

​@@the-happy-RC-flyer Please be more precise about Your receiver. FrSKY has no D16 receiver, the only D series receivers were D4R-II, D8R-II, D8R-XP.

[@piotrkojder7177]

@@the-happy-RC-flyer I know what is D16 protocol, I just want to know what model of RX is used in this video and why FrSKYX2 is chosen instead of FrSKYX. I am using Frsky X9R, R-XSR and XM+ RXes and need to be sure that Zorro suits me.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

@@piotrkojder7177 hopefully this will explain the protocols: FrSky receivers can me tricky to bind because of the different protocols. FrSky X FrSkyX2 and then FCC & LBT-EU versions. If you are in Europe then you must use the LBT-EU version. The firmware on the receiver must be ACCST and not ACCESS which will not bind to the multiprotocol module I am almost certain yours will be ACCST. So try X and if will not bind try X2 and I am sure you will come right.
