Im trying to setup my new fpv drone in betaflight but everytime I try to get response from my transmitter I get none.
#Betaflight not getting response from transmitter!

@chilly bloom hey bro can you provide any more info

What's the receiver that you have? Take a picture of your drone if unsure.
chilly bloom
Im using an Frsky Taranis x9 lite transmitter paired up with a Tbs tracer nano tx module, and a Tbs tracer nano rx receiver.

OK, never worked with a TBS module. Not sure if I can help. But assuming the transmitter is bound to the receiver and that is correctly wired to the FC, you may want to check if the Betaflight was flashed with CRSF support included in the "Radio Protocol" list.
chilly bloom
How do I do that?
chilly bloom
It doesn’t really make sense to just get another receiver since I allready have the module and transmitter bro

Yeh tru sry
past needle
for the receiver you need to plug in the battery to the drone, and the drone via usb to the computer
not sure if you tried that al ready

How do I do that?
Actually I don't know how to get the list of RX protocols included in the build. Just seeing that it is not included in feature list on the CLI. 🤔
Just save your settings (Presets --> Save backup) and Re-flash the firmware again while making sure CRFS is included in Radio Protocol. Then re-apply your settings via the Presets tab again.
But before doing that, double-check that your receiver is actually switched on (any LEDs lit up?), bound and the external module is enabled on your transmitter's module settings. Even without connection to the FC, I would expect the receiver to send some telemetry data back to the transmitter. But again, I am no expert with TBS. There is some info on setting up TBS Crossfire and Tracer on Oscar Liang's website.

Also check that you actually wired up the receiver correctly to the FC. Many first-time builders are confused that RX connects to a TX and vice versa.
Next is to check if the serial port is correctly set up in the Ports tab. The Serial Rxneeds to be enabled.

you can see in the picture that it has CRSF support
not very helpful advice
@chilly bloom are you sure it's bound? your radio isn't showing the signal bars that I am used to seeing which indicates the receiver is connected, although I use edgetx and ELRS. @copper mantle should XF show signal bars?
can you show a picture which demonstrates your wiring?

yeah, TBS should be showing those signal bars if you are connecting to the receiver....
@chilly bloom You said you had a Tracer receiver, but that is not a Tracer antenna on the back of that drone. That's a 900mhz antenna, and tracer is 2.4ghz. It's not compatible. Is that the antenna that came with what you bought?
woeful rover
@chilly bloom have you got the ports set correctly? So the dron knows what port the reciever is wired to
chilly bloom
Sry i kinda forgot about this but I was able to fix the problem by installing a later version of edgetx on my transmitter.

Sweet

I'm still curious about that 900mhz antenna on your Tracer, But Awesome that you have it working 😄

Yeah its the same antenna that came with the module and it also looked pretty much like the same antenna on the tbs nano tx module listed on the blacksheep website but I could be wrong

Actually, this is what I was talking about.
chilly bloom
ooohhhh lmao.
thats a blacksheep immortal T v2 antenna, idk about the compatibility but I got one succecful flight with it but I have another normal blacksheep immortal T unttena under the runcam so it could be just that

See screen shot. This antenna is definitely for 868/915 MHz (aka 900 MHz). Yes, the shorter antenna is what you need for 2.4 GHz. You were effectively using only one of the two antennas connected to your TBS Tracer RX. You want two of the short ones.
vale igloo
they make a tracer immortal T as well
