Updating the TX16s to EdgeTX 2.9.4
EDGTX Website: edgetx.org
RadioMasterTX16S: geni.us/RadioMasterTX16s
I am not a professional or expert with EDGE TX, Im failure and have some experience with Open TX as well. So I am sharing my upgrade experience to prove it’s really not that hard to do.
If you do run into difficulty I would recommend going to the EDGETX GitHub for into and support.
Ask questions in the comment section and I will do my best to find answers for you and also hope that you will share your knowledge with others as well.
Steps
1. Be sure to charge your battery
2. Connect Radio
3. Create storage folder
4. Back up SD Card
5. Disconnect and turn off the radio
6. Download necessary files
* FROM GETHUB - EDGETX PAGE
* edgetx.org
* TOP OF THE PAGE IT MAY HAVE THE MOST RECENT RELEASE if os click it
* If not scroll down the page to see the most recent release
* Click on Release notes for the version you would like to download
* You’re welcome to read through the information on the page (recommended if your new to do so even before starting the upgrade)
* Scroll down to assets and click first on the Edge TX companion and down load the new version for the computer system you are using (OSX for Me which is for Mac)
* Click on Edge TX at the top of the screen
* Scroll down to Repositories
* Click on Edgtx-soundcard
* Make a note of the appropriate file for your radio
* Mine is c408x272.zip
* Scroll down to preparing your SD Card and click the releases page
* Download the appropriate file
* Click back on Edge TX at the top of the page and scroll down repositories to themes
* Look down in the readme section for the download
* There is also a theme creator and photo shop template I will be checking out in the future (AWESOME)
7. Unzip all files in the folder you have created.
* Note you may want to put a folder on your desktop to work from with all the downloaded files in it.
* This way you can delete them as they are completed.
8. Install Companion on you machine (you do not have to but sense you have it just install it and it will be ready for use later
* Just know that on a MAC it may not want to open just right click the icon and click open there and it should open fine.
* We will revisit companion in the future. But it’s not currently needed at this point.
* We will also be flashing the internal ELRS Module in the future as well. (So be sure to hit subscribe)
9. Move new files to SD Card
1. Reconnect the Radio and open the appropriate folder
2. Start with copying over the firmware file (TX16s-77884b6.bin)
* be sure to chose the correct file for your radio
3. Now for theSD Card contents folder folder C480X272
4. I even took time to copy over some of my previous model photo files and Splash Screen!
10. Disconnect the radio from your computer
11. Open boot loader on the radio pushing T1 and T4 in and restart the radio.
12. Click Write Firmware
13. Select the Firmware to install
14. Click Exit and then go back to the information screen on the radio to verify the correct Firmware version
I truly hope this video has been helpful. I truly think that the RadioMaster Tx16s is one of the best radios for serious beginners and professional RC pilots as well.
I will share other options for beginners in the future.
Thanks again!

This is confusing. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to have on my card. I got my TX16S already setup, and I could spend hours reading about all the different updates that make me nervous messing up something. Your video makes more sense to me than others that skip over some parts of the process.

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

Thank you for sharing your helpful knowledge I'm still a little worried to try it But I see now they have 2 .10 out Have not finished watching the video from RC video reviews to see what it contains But thanks for your help😊

[@creativealtone]

Thanks so much!

[@alwaysflying6540]

Hey buddy. I already know how to update. You have so much knowledge to offer, but you bounced all over the place, lol. You are going to have a ton of questions coming your way

[@creativealtone]

Thanks so much! I working on better organizing these types of videos. I really appreciate the complement though! Thanks again!

[@mch1tr3g13]

Thanks a lot

[@creativealtone]

Most welcome

[@namicgreen]

If you find yourself here try to make your 4-1 TX16S working with the ExpressLRS you have to make sure it supports it internal :). If not you need to add an external module like the Ranger Micro TX Module f.e.

[@creativealtone]

Absolutely 👍🏾

[@krotitelduchu]

Leaving aside the option to use touch controls, is EdgeTX really stable and better than OpenTX? I'm still looking for a valid reason to switch from something that works and I already have everything set up, debugged and full of models to something where it will be organized differently and maybe I'll encounter an error or I won't pair one of the receivers or a model that I like crashes he gave me enough work and money. Do you have a strong argument to leave OpenTX? Yes no updates coming out but do I need them?

[@creativealtone]

Well if it works for you.. stick with it.. but for beginners, i would suggest going with edge. I believe the layout is easier to follow and make changes too. I had OpenTX on my Jumper T18 and my. Jumper T12 but to help others who are just getting started I updated and really like it so I plan to stick with it. The only other thing would be that I do not see any radios still shipping new with Open TX. Also if your radio dies or if you have any real issues with it, you may have problems getting support. It does sound to me like you know enough to be able to handle whatever happens. Use what works for you. 👍

Question: Why did I have to download the companion application? We didn’t even use it. Also should mention the files already on the Sd card should be “preserved”, my attempt at following your instructions led to a “empty” boot screen I haven’t seen before. Ps, this is my first day out the box with it & with a bit of file management know how, I managed to get by.

[@creativealtone]

I said in the first minute of the video to back up your radio. Also I mentioned the download of the companion for future use. It will come in handy for future work on your radio. Sorry you had a bad experience. Thanks for watching.

Hola 👋.
Hay actualmente muchas maneras de actualizar pero sin dudas siempre hay personas que encuentran la forma de arruinarlo 😂.
Personalmente lo hago de la siguiente forma:
1-Copia de seguridad del contenido de la micro-SD.
2-Descargo la actualización en la computadora y la dejo lista para copiar.
3-Retiro la micro-SD de la radio, la coloco en la computadora y copio la actualización en la carpeta llamada Firmware.
4-Coloco la micro-SD de nuevo en el radio, enciendo en modo bootloader y selecciono el archivo.
5-Con la actualización completa paso con el radio a revisar en el menú, el contenido de la micro-SD, para entrar en la carpeta firmware y seleccionar el archivo de la actualización para así actualizar también el bootloader.
Listo... así está actualizada casi a prueba de tontos 😂.
Notas:
1-Solo se debe de copiar el contenido de la micro-SD si vienes de una versión diferente, ejemplo, si estás utilizando la 2.9.0 y vas a actualizar a la 2.9.4 no hay que copiar de nuevo el contenido de la micro-SD. Al contrario, si estás utilizando la 2.7.0 y vas a actualizar a la 2.8.4 si debes de hacer este paso.
2-Por otra parte hay archivos de la micro-SD que se debe de copiar a la nueva actualización como es el caso de si ya tenías modelos de aviones creados pues si los quieres conservas debes de copiar estas carpetas y así se conserva toda la configuración de los aviones que ya tenías creado, aquí también se aplica a los audios y fotos que ya tenías como las de la pantalla de inicio.
3-No es necesario tener todos archivos de actualizaciones pasadas en la carpeta firmware al igual que tú caso pues así tenemos menos espacio en la micro-SD y la radio se puede poner lenta.
Saludos desde Cuba 🇨🇺.
Sigue con los vídeos que siempre es bueno tener información como esta.

Muchas gracias amigo ¡Realmente aprecio tus pensamientos y sugerencias! ¡Estaba pensando que necesito determinar qué información se necesita en la tarjeta SD y cuál no! Traduje tu comentario al inglés usando Google. Estoy aprendiendo español pero muy lentamente, así que estoy usando el traductor de Google para responder. :-) ¡Gracias de nuevo!

This comment in English:
Hello. There are currently many ways to update but without a doubt there are always people who find a way to ruin it 😂. Personally I do it in the following way: 1-Backup the contents of the micro-SD. 2-I download the update to the computer and leave it ready to copy. 3-I remove the micro-SD from the radio, place it in the computer and copy the update to the folder called Firmware. 4-I place the micro-SD back into the radio, turn on bootloader mode and select the file. 5-With the update complete, step with the radio to review the contents of the micro-SD in the menu, to enter the firmware folder and select the update file to also update the bootloader. Ready... this way it's updated almost foolproof 😂. Notes: 1-You should only copy the content of the micro-SD if you come from a different version, for example, if you are using 2.9.0 and you are going to update to 2.9.4, you do not have to copy the content again. the micro-SD. On the contrary, if you are using 2.7.0 and are going to update to 2.8.4, you should do this step. 2-On the other hand, there are micro-SD files that must be copied to the new update, as is the case if you already had airplane models created, because if you want to keep them, you must copy these folders and thus all the configuration is preserved of the planes that you already had created, here it also applies to the audios and photos that you already had such as those on the home screen. 3-It is not necessary to have all files from past updates in the firmware folder like in your case because then we have less space on the micro-SD and the radio can become slow. Greetings from Cuba 🇨🇺. Keep up the videos, it's always good to have information like this.

Thank you so much my friend! I truly appreciate your thoughts and suggestions! I was thinking that I need to determine what info is needed on the SD Card and what is not! Thanks again!
