I need help with my TX16s

[arctic kindle]

Why do i see USB serial instead of USB debugging on the tx16s when I plug it in to my PC.

[honest topaz]

If you're following the ELRS guide wondering this, there are several warning blocks of text that you had to cross before getting to this point.

What're you trying to do?

[arctic kindle]

Setup ELRS

I just plugged in my controller and I don't see USB debugging

[honest topaz]

The guide covers how to enable that option

First link in the quick start guide

Nevermind that even

The flashing how-to page covers how to enable it

[arctic kindle]

Wait do I need an external RF

[somber junco]

no

if you got the elrs version then you dont

[arctic kindle]

i got the 4 in 1

[honest topaz]

that's pretty useless for modern things

[arctic kindle]

i guess i didnt put enough research into that

[honest topaz]

are you going to buy a module?

[somber junco]

ayo

tx16s 4 in 1 is the greatest radio of all time for fixed wing pilots

[somber junco]

you would need the ranger micro module or any other one with the correct module size

[honest topaz]

It literally isn't

[honest topaz]

and this is a terrible deal

[somber junco]

just to show him what i meant

[somber junco]

it is

BitteWas

you go buy a e flite plane, it got you covered

you go buy a multiplex plane

it got you covered

[honest topaz]

it is for everyone over the age of 50

everyone else just uses expresslrs

[somber junco]

you go get any crappy cheap plane of craigslist

it got you covered

[somber junco]

it isnt as commonly used at all in the fixed wing department

most people use graupner or futaba

in germany atleast

or multiplex aswell

[honest topaz]

yes, the keyword being germany and old clubs

[somber junco]

then also flysky frsky and so on

wich the tx16s supports

it supports it all

[somber junco]

idk about US, right

still tho, over here literally havent met a single pilot using elrs for planes

even my buddy wich flies fpv aswell uses frsky for his fixed wings

[honest topaz]

strange move from your buddy

[somber junco]

thing is, you can get receivers for almost nothing

thats the beauty of the 4 in 1

[honest topaz]

same for elrs

[somber junco]

expecially for trashy planes wich you just wanna beat up

can you get a receiver for 2 bucks?

[honest topaz]

yes technically you can

on alie

[somber junco]

huh?

gimme gimme

[arctic kindle]

yes

[honest topaz]

people will sell them second hand as well

[somber junco]

not here

well because as i said no-one has it

for planes

[honest topaz]

I've literally bought them from Kleinanzeigen

[somber junco]

wait

[honest topaz]

https://www.radiomasterrc.com/products/nomad-dual-1-watt-gemini-xrossband-expresslrs-module

this is the best value module you can get right now

[somber junco]

not a single one for planes

[arctic kindle]

I orderd the Nomad dual
