Great video, super helpful. Made the "jump" to the T-16 only because i could get all the information on this channel. Now i have a great radio that uses crossfire for half the damn price!
This very same screen and OpenTx widget was and is used by FrSky X10 and X12 Horus for years. Yes, different price tag for a higher-end built quality and official FCC and CE certification, but worth to mention for completeness ;)
Joshua Bardwell Agreed, but do you know whether the unit has a CE marking and a declaration of conformity by now? There is some debate whether it has one (formally) or not. If not, this lovely radio is still illegal to use in Europe :(
My Jumper T-16 V2 Pro was such an enigma to me until I went through your playlist and diddled with the settings for a bit. Dang! This radio is complicated compared to my old (and I mean REALLY old) Futaba T8J. The Jumper takes a lot of getting used to, but your playlist is making it bearable. Finally got rid of all those switch and throttle warnings!!!! Anyway, thanks for all you do for the RC community.
RadioMaster is coming out in the next few weeks with an upgraded version for the Jumper T16 called, RadioMaster T16S. Here is a link to the companies that are taking "PreOrders" for it: www.radiomasterrc.com/buy
I might have to actually email you JB. From what I can tell I did everything correct to bind my HX100 to my Jumper T12 Pro..... Repeatedly. From the ports to the bind commands (tried all Spektrum in the list) Noting that I tried got so much as a whimper from the receiver as far as activation goes. I'm still learning all the different protocol configuration since I was stuck on Deviation from the start.
I have a T16 and had a X9D before (well still) that. So in a sense the transition wasn't bad. AND let me tell you the T16 is Awesome. I have watched many many of Joshua Bartwell videos and I want to say they are really the best! They were invaluable! in making the transition. I had thought about doing Video also but I have to admit Joshua would be a hard act to follow. A key thing is remembering when a do the video YOU know what you are doing BUT the person watching likely doesn't (or he would not be watching) So NO assumptions! YOU know when you ASS U ME you make an A$$ out of U and ME. This is Joshua main income! So let's support him, if you can. Thanks Joshua for your great videos. Richard
Great video. Is there a list of these names somewhere? I have sensor names on my Taranis such as TRSS, LQty & RQly with values but I'm not sure what they mean :-/
Hi there! I make and fly planes for the last 15 years. Now im up to start with FPV just with Artificial Horizon!! Plane with (Camera+Tx) ( Monitor + Rx) and im good to go for now. I watch already a lot of your videos (very good btw, and saved on a private playlist for my future FPV Expert long Range) and it looks doable but it will use some time and some money. Watching your videos reminds me the days that i did an gimbal and spent hours understanding the hardware and open source software :) . So i ask you: is some way, simple, fast (and cheap please) to add just Artificial Horizon (or more, if must be) to my On-Screen display FPV?! just the fastest and simple way! Thanks in advance! Best regards
Hi Joshua, great video again! will u dive deeper in the OpenTX stuff with the T16? Mine was delivered with OpenTX but LUA won't Work. -Should we use an OpenTX nightly or wait? -Can we Firmwareupdate an Reciever on the JR Port of the T16? -What about the 433Mhz Problem? -Internal Multimodule Firmware how to decrypt the Crazy Filenames? OMG so many things to figure out!!
Hi Joshua. I'm using crossfire nano and micro tx. I'm trying to debug an alert message "RSSI critical" that I heard from my Jumper T16 when I was flying the other day. I wasn't sure why I heard this because I'm using crossfire and not FrSKY XM+. I also made sure that RSSI channel and adc are disabled in betaflight. It scared me when I heard it. I thought it was going to failsafe but glad it didn't. I would like to know if that was really a valid alert that I must be worried. And also prevent T16 from saying it if it's not a useful signal strength indicator. Thank you.
Do you kn ow how to use a FrSky Lipo sensor to send the battery voltage in my fly wing when using a Crossfire TX module as an external RF on my RadioMaster TX16S? Is it possible, right now the battery voltage reading in the telemetry is reading the internal battery at 5V, not sending the battery info. from the wing itself? Can you please explain (if it is possible) how to get this to work so I can get my Lipo sensor information on my radio?
What's even cooler is the endless hours you get to spend trying to figure this crap out and all the times you want to throw the whole thing into the garbage.
Hi Joshua. May I ask you smth? is that possible to set up on t16 radio sound event for decreasing battery percentage like in Mikado VControl, let's say I have 5000mah flight pack capacity and want to hear during flight 90% -> 80% -> 70% until zero. Thank you.
I could not find a way to setup widgets through companion. If the feature exists, how to use it ? Another limitation of companion : it does not allow to choose custom images for your model. You can only configure custom images from the radio setup itself. Bug ?
"Long press on source"....Did not know this produced a categorized list! I had been manually scrolling thru every entry trying to find the correct sensor.
Hi joshua... I always follow ur guides. Need help regarding telemetry. Im using frsky x8r receiver vid t16s tx and f722se fc...im using sbus.. How do i do telemetry in this setup? Vid current connection (x8r to uart2), telemetry enabled, selected sbus in receiver... I cannt see new sensors on my t16s
You can connect the SmartPort telemetry wire from the receiver to an un-used UART TX pad on the FC. Enable SmartPort telemetry in the Ports tab for that UART number. Enable Telemetry in the Configuration tab.
Thanks for your work Joshua, I received my t16 on the weekend, and before I start transferring models over from my dx6e spektrum radio I wanted to check everything out for when I get some new model quads and planes with different protocols. I’ll definitely be getting at least one model with crossfire so that I can get some real distance, so I was wondering if I should get a module as well with a larger output crossfire unit or just use the one inside?
Joshua Bardwell , never had a radio with crossfire before, but I know it has great distance from a friend who has an IX12 spektrum radio, and he gets some fantastic distances, and mentioned that you could get some awesome output power from certain modules.
Do you see the right gimbal jumping around slightly on the monitoring page? Mine is flipping between 1499/1500 on the pitch axis. I've tried recalibrating, but it never holds ppm centre.
Thanks for this. But is there a way to adjust the value on the radio??? Like mine is way off and reading only 65% when my osd in my googles are reading 100. Maybe your next video??? I been trying to figure it out my self and see if the 65% will go up, but not successful yet. I'm using the flysky flit14+ and yes it has rssi for it
Waiting for OpenTX 2.3.whatever to release soon then it will support the T16 and I'll be back to OpenTX instead of JumperTX. Honestly, if you have an X9D Plus you can still follow along on most of these videos. But not the widgets :-/
@@JoshuaBardwell I've got a Frsky, do you have a video? I'm struggling like crazy, the only way I know my drone is out of charge is when it flips over and crashes!
Question, I can’t figure out why my jumper in telemetry setup is showing the RxBt at 5.2V and it doesn’t move depending on battery level. Beta flight shows it at 16.8v.... I’m running a Roma F5 with r-xsr
Would any one Know how to add a page of text to the widget screen I want to put the stick commands on a widget or second page instead of me adding labels stuck to the back of the controller also would be nice to have a place to store note eg what my switch are set to etc
@@JoshuaBardwell cause I want to fly my geprc phantom on 1s,because I have lots of those and they are easier to charge,and on the other hand I could fly it outdoors with 2x1s in series
You should really just buy a 1s quad, no one is using a stepup to fly quads on 1s. Your battery will last less than a minute and you will have barely enough thrust to stay in the air, if it stays in the air at all.
So my T16 Pro is not giving power to my crossfire micro module. I followed your steps to setting it up but even with the internal module turned off and external set to crossfire, my module is not getting power. I have updated the firmware on the module just fine and I even tried a buddies module just to make sure it wasn’t something goofy with mine. Any suggestions?
Joshua Bardwell I will try it again but I have even taken the back plate off and placed the module on with no power running to it. It does blip on got a second when I turn off the radio though
I can't wait until OpenTX 2.3.3 is available for the T16 when hopefully telemetry can finally communicate with LUA Script. It's the only thing stopping me from making the T16 my daily driver.
hey mate you can have nightly build opentx or download from jumper site. Btw i am using still jumpertx and have full access to lua and they communicate pretty well
@@ViperFpv_onair I have both the JumperTX and OpenTX 2.3.2 Jumper T16's from the factory and none of my LUA Scripts work after installing it on my T16's but it does work fine with my X9D Plus SE. are you using Crossfire or R-XSR's
@@pitchitfpv i am using 2.3 from jumper website and inav lua script is working very well, get sats gyro rssi etc..even if i cant configure all the parameters like i used to do in the taranis.

The only issue i have is from microphone, skipping first letter while using 2.3 jumpertx, but working fine with opentx, and many have reported lot of power noise from the radio, cutting crossfire telemetry range ,and made dragonlink unuseable, but I have not tested personally on long range yet, so dont know. For sure there are at least 2 batch of the radio, and the last ones have more capacitors on the power line to reduce it. Mine is an early version so i hope all will be good indeed.. crossing fingers...

Thanks, you make it so easy for me to be a T16 owner.
Joshua, Very useful and in a short and sweet format. Really appreciate it. Thanks so much!
This very same screen and OpenTx widget was and is used by FrSky X10 and X12 Horus for years. Yes, different price tag for a higher-end built quality and official FCC and CE certification, but worth to mention for completeness ;)
Yes, absolutely. It's identical to the Horus because the T16 is based on the Horus target for OpenTX. The T16 is just way more accessible.
Joshua Bardwell Agreed, but do you know whether the unit has a CE marking and a declaration of conformity by now? There is some debate whether it has one (formally) or not. If not, this lovely radio is still illegal to use in Europe :(
Are the police going around to your local flying spots checking radios? C'mon dude, give me a break. No one cares at all if you want it just buy it.
Well, I'm gonna have to get a T16. Very cool radio. Thanks JB.

IFlight Cidora
jus a question : if a moto of a TH freestyle get's more hot than others, what does that to the ESC?
does is get hotter or not so much

I did the one that showed stick commands. Face palm lmfao
What does it mean if im not discovering anything from my FC?
Am I missing something? When do you ever look at the screen when your goggles are on, isn't osd more important? Just curious.
I like to check the screen before or after the flight sometimes. Or for troubleshooting.

Have you heard a date when OpenTX will be available for the T16?
you can download opentx nightly or a version directly from jumper websites, firmware area.

OK real question,, why isn't my battery voltage showing up in telemetry, rssi? I see other values,, and I get voltage in osd,,,also what is trssi?
You haven't got telemetry working. For example, on Frsky you need to get smartport set up.

FrSky rxbt sensor is the supply voltage ti the receiver. Use vfas sensor.
@@JoshuaBardwell when I discovered sensors it only brings over TRSS, TQly, RSSI, and RxBt on mine for some reason I don’t get vfas...
It means that the FC is not set up to send telemetry to the receiver. You need to get SmartPort working.
FlySky i6 show the telemetry on screen too ✌️😉
that they do
Will this work with Arducopter on a Pixracer R15 with a Frsky X4R receiver and Jumper T16 transmitter ??
If Pixracer supports SmartPort telemetry to the X4R then yes it will work.
how to set up betaflight lua on t16, (pid, vtx)??????????????????😭
works with fport????

Does this work with the Horus x10s?
Yep. Exactly the same.
Recently I got a question in my head and didn't find the answer on the net. Can 2-3s flight controller(quad) work on 1s?
Most FC run off of 5v so they need minimum 2S input for the regulator to work. You could easily do it with a step-up regulator though.
@@JoshuaBardwell great. Can you recommend one for me if you know any good ones that will surely work?
