I am trying to bind an R-XSR receiver to the Taranis X9D+.
I am following this video through.
The R-XSR is in SBUS mode; I created a new model on the Taranis with Mode: D16 and Channel Range: CH1-16.
When I turn the receiver off and start the binding on the Taranis I hear the beeping sound.
However, instead of it starting to beep and blinking “BIND” on the screen right away I have to chooses one of “Ch1-8 Telem ON”, “Ch1-8 Telem OFF”, “Ch9-16 Telem ON” and “Ch9-16 Telem OFF”. I chose the first.
When I keep pressing the bind button on the R-XSR and give it power again
the green, blue and red LEDs are on. It’s not that the red one is flashing like in the video.
Also when I want to check if it has been bound, I just get stable blue and flashing red (so showing that it’s in SBUS mode again), and not the green and blue LED.
Did a firmware update/ flash on the receiver, didn’t help.
Might it be a problem, that it is connected to a PixHawk1 to Telem2 and RCIN (as shown here with the telemetry cable and adapter bought here)
I had the non EU version firmware on the Taranis. Now that I do it still doesn’t work.
Hi,
First, I don’t have a R-XSR receiver, but I have a number of X and D receivers, and the only time I had problems with binding was when I had mixing EU and non-EU firmwares. Once, I was even trying to bind for a few hours cause I was sure they had matching FW’s, and they didn’t, so please flash both with EU (or nonEU FW) and try again.
It shouldn’t matter if they are in S-BUS or PPM output, but make sure that on both the D16 mode is selected.
HTH
I have now flashed the Taranis with OpenTX Companion.
The downloaded file is called "opentx-x9d±eu-lua-en-2.2.1.bin.
So as far as I see it, it should be the EU firmware.
Then I flashed the R-XSR with the file “R-XSRLBT171103.frk”,
which is, as far as I know, the EU conform version, or is it?
I got the same problem as before when trying to bind.
Not sure about the R-XSR firmware as there is only one version of the FW, but, as there is an EU certificate accompanying it I would assume it is the EU FW.
There is a new FW version (2.2.2) for the x9d+, you could try with it.
Wait, are you sure that your internal XJT is the EU version?
I would flash it with the EU firmware also.
No, I did not flash the XJT module.
I read something like “Graupner” and thought just people using their stuff need to do that.
I flashed the XJT module following this description.
Now the binding worked, green and blue LEDs are on now.
Thank you, Igor!
