    FYI all MFD trackers work that way, they don't respond until you are 20 to 30 meters away from them. This is written into the code. As you said there is no point in tracking something that close.

    Excellent ! This is what I want. I got the Clearview , Will get my crossbow soon. Want to track RSSI so I don't need a $50 module in all 23 of my rigs. Using the taranis x9d plus. Is it capable ?
    Have most with XM+ or R-XSR 's. If I do go with a quadside module
    what module is versatile or do you recommend to use with the crossbow ?
    All that TBS crossfire stuff is completely extinct in the US and people are asking double for used ones. So that's probably out of the question. Cheers and stay healthy 💪

    • @RTRCTV
      @RTRCTV  4 роки тому +1

      The mfd crossbow is not an rssi tracker.
      It is a gps based tracker.
      You will need at a minimum a gps module in the aircraft.

      @@RTRCTV yes sir they are gone quickly. All shops I've looked at are the same except banggood. I don't trust that I'll get my order from banggood. I already have Soo much invested i can't do the TBS thing. That's why when you said "RSSI TRACKER" I was under the impression I could get away with no module.
      So now ... GPS or osd module ? Which one is going to be easier to make work and cheap enough to put one on 3 or 4 quads ? And I'll leave you alone for a while , LOL. I'm sorry to bug you man but I'm a 30 year nitro onroad car guy. This is all Greek to me. Maybe a video on the quadside installation of of the modules with more tips from the master ?

    • @RTRCTV
      @RTRCTV  4 роки тому

      By Y axis. I assume you mean vertical /up down.
      I would guess you did not calibrate the pitch axis.
      You need to scroll up to set the 90 degree /vertical position.
      And down to select the level position.
      No idea why it's not documented!

      No quick fix I am afraid.
      Only way will be to get a serial level invertor and an hc05/hc06 wired into the radio.. Then rely on a link that way.
      If you had the Full-size xfire.. Would be super easy :)

    Hello. I acquired the crossbow mini with the TeleflyTiny OSD. I've managed to get it all to work (receiving Vlink and GPS sats) but am having a bear of a time with one issue: The moment I turn on my fpv camera (Runcam Swift 2 and also test Runcam 2) the crossbow loses vlink and all gps. I'm feeding it all through a Matek F-405 Wing flight controller running ArduPilot. Has anyone experienced this issue with losing the link the moment you turn on the fpv camera? With just the FC OSD and no camera picture, it all works perfectly. I would appreciate anyone's assistance.

    • @RTRCTV
      @RTRCTV  4 роки тому +1

      I found the telefly to be very problematic.
      Many cameras simply cause problems.. No idea why!
      Area to look would be a pal/ntsc miss match.ij the end.. I went the MAVLINK wiry crossfire route. Much more reliable.

    • @AlexanderPerez-oe1gu
      @AlexanderPerez-oe1gu 4 роки тому

      Rob Thomson FPV thank you for your response...greatly appreciate it. As a last resort, I’ll take a look at the ntsc settings before going the Mavlink route. I’ve been looking thru the menu setting in osd and crossbow mini...but not seeing where ntsc/pal settings are located. Would you be able to point me to the right direction? Thanks again for your assistance.

I've tested other frequencies and found some interesting results: The corssbow mini works with 2.4 and 5.8 but it doesn't seem to work with my 1.3ghz system. Moreover, I've noticed it achieves a solid 100% dlink with 5.8 and it varies with 2.4. Love to hear your thoughts. What frequency are you using on your end?
