So basically I bought a taranis qx7 ACCST and it came in polish (i am in Poland so no problem in understanding) and it came in mode 3 as default can you help me to 1. Change the language to English and 2. To change it so that when I fly it is on mode 2?

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:32 PM

So, first of all - RTC Battery low is not good

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:32 PM

#

ye

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:32 PM

#

you'll probably need a new RTC battery

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:32 PM

#

ik

#

uhu

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:32 PM

#

it's a small coin cell battery inside of the radio

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:32 PM

#

Is it like a cr 1220 battery?

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:32 PM

#

not difficult to replace, just a bit fiddly

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:33 PM

#

I'll look it up

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:33 PM

#

ehh, something like that, tho I don't know the exact type

#

it's like a bios battery

#

that's what it reminds me of the most

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:33 PM

#

ye

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:33 PM

#

yeah looks like CR 1220

#

Now, in regards to the firmware

#

do you have any models set up on it that you want to keep?

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:35 PM

#

uhh not rlly

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:35 PM

#

ok cool

#

how about we just flash it to EdgeTX

#

(a successor to OpenTX)

#

if it isn't already.. idk

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:36 PM

#

ok

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:36 PM

#

It's pretty easy if you have a PC with Chrome (or a chrome-based browser, like Edge)

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:36 PM

#

uhh I have to go

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:36 PM

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:42 PM

#

while you're at it, run this:
https://impulserc.blob.core.windows.net/utilities/ImpulseRC_Driver_Fixer.exe

#

this fixes the firmware update drivers which windows loves to f* up

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:42 PM

#

ok

#

#

@river saddle

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:43 PM

#

after connecting the radio, run the Driver Fixer

#

then, Flash via USB

#

it will ask you to add a device

#

where you want to select STM32 BOOTLOADER

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:44 PM

#

wait

#

1 min

#

#

you sure the SD card is alive

#

do you have an SD reader?

#

If so, could you format the card to FAT32?

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:51 PM

#

river saddle do you have an SD reader?

nah

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:52 PM

#

river saddle you sure the SD card is alive

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:52 PM

#

the radio disagrees

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:53 PM

#

now

#

how do I turn it to mode 2

#

lol

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:53 PM

#

sly canyon how do I turn it to mode 2

physically or software?

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:54 PM

#

both

#

the stick on the left is like normal

#

it stays in position

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:54 PM

#

physically - you have to take the back off and screw with the screws on the gimbals

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

but radio says that the right gimball is the throttle

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

radio config -
long press MENU
page to RADIO
scroll all the way down (if I recall correctly)
and there you should find Mode

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

idk why

#

which one is menu

#

lol

#

the 3 thingies

#

well, "want" is a strong word

#

it would be advisable

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

river saddle oh btw, you'll want to replace the SD contents with EdgeTX ones...

wudufug

#

how do I do dat

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

ideally with an SD reader 😂

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

if I don't have it?

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

less ideally through the USB

It shows up at least

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 4:03 PM

#

okay so
be careful with the RADIO and MODELS foders

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 4:03 PM

#

yeee

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 4:03 PM

#

RADIO contains radio.yml I think

#

that's the radio configuration

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 4:03 PM

#

Ye

#

True

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 4:03 PM

#

MODELS is the same, but for models

the radio prolly thinks it's 99

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 4:04 PM

#

so what next

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 4:04 PM

#

because of the RTC batt

https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx-sdcard/releases/download/v2.8.0/bw128x64.zip

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 4:04 PM

#

yeew

#

ok

#

so download that onto the radio?

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 4:04 PM

#

download that and extract that to some folder on your PC

#

(don't extract it directly to the SD card)

#

then just copy & overwrite the contents onto the SD card

#

you should see that the folder structure is similar

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 4:06 PM

#

waiiiit

#

so copy the extracted stuff

#

and put it in the SD card?

#

@river saddle

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

copy this

#

onto the SD card

#

onto D:\

#

and say Yes when it asks to overwrite

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

ok

I am also sadge

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

look up the QX7 crossfire fix

sly canyon Jul 25, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

ye?

#

ok

river saddle Jul 25, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

the QX7 ACCST has a hardware issue that prevents external modules from talking to it at full speed

#

but it can be worked around or fixed entirely

#

here's a link to the piece of hardware:
