EdgeTX "Centurion" v2.10.0-RC1 Pre-release
Pre-release

We are pleased to offer the first release candidate for EdgeTX "Centurion" v2.10.0.

Warning

As this is a release candidate, there may be some minor issues that still need work before release. We need your help in testing this build to ensure there are no major bugs or faults that will cause problems during flight. During release candidate, the matching SD card pack and voice pack versions are those marked/tagged 'Latest'. Please ensure you back up your model and radio settings before updating, fully bench-test your models after updating, and report any issues you encounter.

Note

Reminder: Upgrading from versions of EdgeTX earlier than v2.6 (or from OpenTX) is no longer possible via the radio firmware. You first need to update to EdgeTX 2.8 in order to migrate your radio and model settings, and then you can update to the current version. See the Installing and Updating EdgeTX manual page for more information.

Cloud Build

We would like to formally announce the existence of CloudBuild on EdgeTX Buddy, which some eagle eyed users have spotted and been using already. In addition to flashing the normal release builds (Cloud) or firmware you've built yourself or gotten from someone else (Local file), there is now also the "CloudBuild" option on Buddy. Via this tab, you can pick from an available firmware version, pick your radio type, and then choose from a limited (for now) range of build options. For colorlcd radios, this is primarily just the language for the radio firmware. For black and white radios, you have a few more choices, including the ability to remove heli and set the font type.

If you want a language build, or to customise the build options that are currently exposed, please give it a try, and let us know if you have any issues, and also help us find out what additional options people want access to. While some options have been limited to supported radio types, please note that it is still possible to pick some invalid options - such as a translation language that did not exist in older firmware versions, so keep that in mind when making choices. As this is a pre-release, similar to a nightly, you will need to select the "Include pre-releases" option in the Filter option just under the version picker in order to get the option of 2.10.0-RC1.

Highlights of this release include:

  • New "Eddie the Edgehog" default splash screen - on color display radios also shows the current version of EdgeTX installed
  • On colorlcd, a custom image can be shown on shutdown instead of shutdown animation
  • On colorlcd, interacting with labels on the manage models screen has been reworked - you can now choose to have only one label active at a time, or multiple labels
  • On colorlcd, you can pick from three more views for how models will be shown, including smaller icons and list views.
  • On colorlcd, the sources list picker and filters have been reworked
  • On colorlcd, the splash screen delay can now be changed
  • All special and global functions can be enabled or disabled - no need to delete them if you no longer want certain ones temporarily inactive
  • Unused trim switches can be used as 3POS switches
  • "Telemetry Connected" will be played when the connection is first established
  • Pre-flight checklists now have an "interactive" option, whereby you can tick off each item in turn
  • PPM units can be changed at runtime, rather than being a compile time option
  • RGB LED control/animations on supported radios (e.g. MT12, PL18, PL18EV)
  • Startup sound can be disabled (there is now an option, rather than needing to delete hello.wav)
  • Analog inputs, such as pots and sliders can now be configured as a Switch, Axis X or Axis Y. Additionally, they can also be configured to be inverted

More information, which is broken down into by screen type (Color LCD and B&W), is available in the user manual here.

Full Changelog: v2.9.0...v2.10.0-rc1

Known Limitations and Issues

  • Wireless Model Trainer and CRSF/ELRS - if using the Multi Protocol Module (MPM) as a wireless trainer in conjunction with CRSF/ELRS, do not go above 250 Hz, otherwise the MPM wireless trainer will be dropped. 250 Hz or below is stable.
  • If you are using Flysky digital hall gimbals, they will need to be re-calibrated, if they were calibrated previously with previous versions of EdgeTX (due to #3778).
  • Please check #4700 during the release candiate phase for release candidate specific issues and status of fixes ... such as a known issue of Companion generally not playing nicely with Pocket, TProV2, EL18 or T20.

UI/UX behavioral changes and/or new capabilities:

  • colorlcd: MDL, SYS and TELE buttons now have long press actions... a long press (more than one second) now takes you into the Manage Models aka. "Model Select", Radio Settings => Radio Setup or Channel Monitor. A short press takes you to the Model Settings => Model Setup, Radio Settings => Tools or Screen Settings like with previous versions.
  • colorlcd: You can also press MDL, SYS and TELE while in the first level of the menus to switch to another menu entirely... i.e. you can switch from any of the Model Settings tabs to Radio Settings simply by pressing the SYS button. Or bring up the channel monitor while in any of the Radio Settings or Model Settings screens by pressing the TELE button.
  • companion: Companion will now ensure that model names of existing models (and labels, if supported) only have characters that can be entered on the radio. If invalid characters are detected, they will be removed from the name. Companion will also not accept invalid characters as input.

EdgeTX "Providence" v2.9.3

We are pleased to offer EdgeTX "Providence" v2.9.3, which fixes several small but possibly quite annoying issues including inputs and mixer lists not being displayed properly, mix delays not working when switches were in the mix, Linux Companion not being able to check for updates, and a few other bits and pieces.

Warning

A bug in the behaviour of the 'delay' mixer option has been fixed whereby it would previously not function at all if the mix line was disabled for some flight modes/if there was mix line with a switch. Please check your model to make sure it behaves correctly if you use the delay option or had configured it in the past and it didn't seem to be working!

What's Changed

Radio

  • fix: Enable external module power for SBUS trainer by @raphaelcoeffic in #4326
  • fix: Mix delay not working when mix line has a switch by @philmoz in #4364
  • fix: Properly scale PREC2 sensor values using "ratio" by @frankiearzu in #4083
  • fix(telemetry): Inconsistent/wrong GPS distance calculation by @mha1 in #4442
  • fix(color): New inputs disappear until restart by @philmoz in #4317 and #4330
  • fix(color): Mixes list display incorrect after deleting all mixer lines by @philmoz in #4477
  • fix(bw): Prevent points being drawn outside of LCD buffer (causing EM crash) in #4550
  • feat: Allow Touch Screen Mod on Horus X10 Transmitters by @MRC3742 in #4151
  • feat(X10E): Allow minimum backlight value to be much lower by @packetpilot in #4540

Companion

  • fix: Linux AppImage SSL packaging (needed to check for updates) by @pfeerick in #4533

Full Changelog: v2.9.2...v2.9.3

To learn more about new features, known issues, and other changes in 2.9.x, please see the release notes for v2.9.0

Known Issues

  • It appears #4083 may cause issues with the telemetry ratio with some protocols (i.e. OMP) ... currently being investigated and a fix is in the works.

EdgeTX "Providence" v2.9.0

We are pleased to offer EdgeTX "Providence" v2.9.0. It is an important milestone for us as it marks the completion of the color screen UI changes started with 2.8.

Migration Information

Warning

Support is removed for direct "on radio" migration from versions before v2.6!

This version of EdgeTX removes the ability to upgrade on-radio directly from OpenTX 2.3.15 or EdgeTX versions prior to 2.6 (which used the BIN format for storage of model and radio settings). It will however still be possible to migrate settings from older versions of OpenTX and EdgeTX via EdgeTX Companion. In some instances, particularly with some older OpenTX configurations, this is the more reliable mechanism for upgrading.

Highlights of this release include:

  • LVGL re-write for the color screen interface is now complete. In doing so, there have been numerous improvements to the curves, special functions, logical switches and telemetry screens. Many thanks to @philmoz for doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.
  • Various tabs can be turned on or off globally or on a per-model basis on both colorlcd and B&W radios. Have a helicopter that needs the heli tab, but don't want it showing on all your models? Or don't want to see it at all? The new "Enabled Features" button in the radio setup and model setup screens has got you covered! It looked like this during development.
  • Numerous improvements to USB joystick support (allowing for greater control of how your radio controls are presented to the computer), as well as the ability to use your radio in conjunction to the radio simulator that is part of EdgeTX Companion.
  • Support added for the Flysky FRM303 AFHDS3 RF module for some radios (NV14/EL18 native, TX16S with a mod, others to be documented). More information about the FRM303 here.
  • Support added for the Multiplex MLink JR type module. See #3352 for more information.
  • Numerous DSM telemetry fixes thanks to @frankiearzu via #3615, #3366, #3126 and #3690
  • B&W screen radios: The time is now shown on the main screen between the horizontal trim sliders.
  • B&W screen radios: Some of the longer and less commonly used sections in the model settings are now collapsed by default - i.e. timers, throttle settings, pre-flight checks, greatly reducing the amount of scrolling necessary.
  • Support for Hebrew was added to radio firmware for color LCD radios and a voice pack is also available.
  • If you have noise or buzzing when using high RF power outputs and no audio is playing, there is now a mute option for most radios - see #3703, #3710
  • For those using the FrSky R9M 2019 in ACCESS mode in conjunction with the hardware mod, a separate firmware is no longer required. Simply choose the "External Module" option in Radio Settings -> Hardware against the relevant Serial / AUX port. #2562

More information with regards to changes, which is broken down into by screen type (Color LCD and B&W), is available in the user manual here.

Full Changelog: v2.8.5...v2.9.0

UI/UX behavioral changes and/or new capabilities:

  • Prior to 2.9, when you connected the radio to the computer, two drives would be shown - a firmware drive, and the SD card. As of 2.9, only the SD card drive is shown, since updating the firmware via the firmware drive is extremely unreliable on Windows systems, and only leads to confusion.
  • B&W screen radios with haptic vibration motors gave a momentary buzz when the power-on delay has completed. Color LCD radios now also do the same.
  • Another layout was added for color radios - 4+2B right side 3QRT+1QRT by @daniel-snowsurf in #3315
  • colorlcd: MDL and SYS buttons now have long press actions... a long press (more than one second) now takes you into the Manage Models aka. "Model Select" or Radio Settings => Radio Setup. A short press takes you to the Model Settings => Model Setup or Radio Settings => Tools.
  • Prior to 2.9, certain radios would mute the audio when it was not in use. This would however add approx 250ms lag which impacts on functionality such as variometer tones, so it is now a configurable option, and generally off by default. If you experience noise - i.e. due to high power RF modules, noisy backlight circuitry, etc. - you may wish to re-enable the audio muting behaviour. c.f. #3703

Known Limitations and Issues

  • Frsky X10 with external MPM appears to have an issue whereby after a random period of time communication with the module stops responding (and thus the control link is lost) and appears to be limited to Spektrum DSMX (see #4411)
  • Telemetry issue with FlySky FS-IA6B receivers: #3543
  • External modules driven by PPM or S.BUS: incoming S.PORT telemetry is not processed anymore, as was the case with previous releases (see #3877).
  • Wireless Model Trainer and CRSF/ELRS - if using the Multi Protocol Module (MPM) as a wireless trainer in conjunction with CRSF/ELRS, do not go above 250 Hz, otherwise the MPM wireless trainer will be dropped. 250 Hz or below is stable.
  • To our knowledge, no Jumper T-Lite / T-Lite V2 with F4 MCU (running in F4 mode) have been released, so do not use the T-Lite (F4) option in Buddy. This option will be removed in the next release/patch. If you do flash it by mistake, your radio will not boot, but you should be able to still flash it with the correct T-Lite firmware via DFU/Buddy.

  • B&W: Change layout of telemetry page on B&W radios to match color layout (#3770)
  • B&W: Auto expand sensor list when discovering sensors (#3828)
  • Add SF to mute audio amplifier on supported radios (#3774)

Fixes

  • Prevent functional degradation if SD has less than 50MB free space (#3730)
  • dbm unit not being played when playing telemetry values 69e9bcd
  • Don't override configured SD Logs value when opening edit screen (#3755)
  • Reset proto scan software timer to MULTI_PROTOLIST_START_TIMEOUT (#3763)
  • Bluetooth detection for X7S (#3754)
  • fix(AFHDS3): iBus IN and Failsafe settings not updating (#3793)
  • fix(color): When in screen settings, ignore SYS/MDL, treat TELE as RTN (preventing possible EM) (#3845)
  • fix(color): Use ACTIVE theme color for inputs, mixes, LS, GV and SF (like 2.7x) (#3897)
  • feat(bw128): Swap modelname telemetry screen topbar for timer1 if defined (#3856)
  • fix(bw): Remaining/elapsed display on telemetry screen topbar (#3871)

  • B&W screen radios with haptic vibration motors gave a momentary buzz when the power-on delay has completed. Color lcd radios now also do the same.
  • On B&W screen radios, several longer categories are now collapable, and are collapsed by default. For instance, timers now only occupy one line each.
  • It is now possible to disable or enable several model setup tabs, as well as some radio setup tabs, either globally (in radio setup), or on a per-model basis (in model setup), through the use of the "Enabled Features" option. i.e. Have a heli, but don't want the heli tab for every model? Disable it globally, and then enable it just for the model you want it for. Don't use GVs or Trainer? Just turn those tabs off!
  • Another layout was added for color radios - 4+2B right side 3QRT+1QRT by @daniel-snowsurf in #3315

Known Limitations and Issues

  • EL18: No Companion support yet
  • Wireless Model Trainer and CRSF/ELRS - if using the Multi Protocol Module (MPM) as a wireless trainer in conjunction with CRSF/ELRS, do not go above 250 Hz, otherwise the MPM wireless trainer will be dropped. 250 Hz or below is stable.

EdgeTX "Flying Dutchman" v2.8.5

We are pleased to offer EdgeTX "Flying Dutchman" v2.8.5, the fifth maintenance release for 2.8. As with any software/firmware update, please back up your model and radio settings and fully bench-test your models after updating.

This release resolves two issues identified as 2.9.0 was going into RC which also affects earlier versions of ETX, as well as a few minor quality-of-life fixes. If you use a radio that could come with different internal RF types (i.e. MPM / ELRS), it is recommended that you upgrade ASAP in order to reduce the chance of EMs, and improve the chances of recovery if an EM does occur.

What's Changed

  • fix: On radios with configurable internal modules, Emergency Mode did not know the RF module type, resulting in an inability to re-establish the RF link if Emergency Mode was triggered #3603
  • fix: Filling up the radio SD card (i.e. logging, screenshots) could result in radio going into Emergency Mode. Logging and screenshots are now disabled when less than 50MB free space remaining. #3739
  • fix(colorlcd): Pressing TELE while setting up widgets would load the screen settings tab on top of itself, which could eventually trigger Emergency Mode #3845
  • fix(mpm): External MPM would not always do protocol discovery, resulting in missing protocols #3763
  • fix: Some AFHDS2A/AFHDS3 GPS/ALT telemetry handling issues which were introduced in earlier 2.8.x versions #3582
  • fix(cpn): Include openssl files with Windows and Linux packages, fixing "Unable to download Meta Data / TLS initialization failed" errors preventing download of updates
  • feat(cpn): Companion now warns you that you may break things if you use an older version of Companion with a newer firmware version

Please refer to the following to see the complete list of changes.

This version of EdgeTX removes the ability to upgrade on-radio directly from OpenTX 2.3.15 or EdgeTX versions prior to 2.6 (which used the BIN format for storage of model and radio settings). It will however still be possible to migrate settings from older versions of OpenTX and EdgeTX via EdgeTX Companion. In some instances, particularly with some older OpenTX configurations, this is the more reliable mechanism for upgrading.

Highlights of this release include:

  • LVGL re-write for the color screen interface is now complete. In doing so, there have been numerous improvements to the curves, special functions, logical switches and telemetry screens. Many thanks to @philmoz for doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.
  • Various tabs can be turned on or off globally or on a per-model basis on both colorlcd and B&W radios. Have a helicopter that needs the heli tab, but don't want it showing on all your models? Or don't want to see it at all? The new "Enabled Features" button in the radio setup and model setup screens has got you covered! It looked like this during development.
  • Numerous improvements to USB joystick support (allowing for greater control of how your radio controls are presented to the computer), as well as the ability to use your radio in conjunction to the radio simulator that is part of EdgeTX Companion.
  • Support added for the Flysky FRM303 AFHDS3 RF module for some radios (NV14/EL18 native, TX16S with a mod, others to be documented). More information about the FRM303 here.
  • Support added for the Multiplex MLink JR type module. See #3352 for more information.
  • Numerous DSM telemetry fixes thanks to @frankiearzu via #3615, #3366, #3126 and #3690
  • B&W screen radios: The time is now shown on the main screen between the horizontal trim sliders.
  • B&W screen radios: Some of the longer and less commonly used sections in the model settings are now collapsed by default - i.e. timers, throttle settings, preflight checks, greatly reducing the amount of scrolling necessary.
  • Support for Hebrew was added to radio firmware for color lcd radios and a voice pack is also available.
  • If you have noise or buzzing when using high RF power outputs and no audio is playing, there is now a mute option for most radios - see #3703, #3710
  • For those using the FrSky R9M 2019 in ACCESS mode in conjuction with the hardware mod, a seperate firmware is no longer required. Simply choose the "External Module" option in Radio Settings -> Hardware against the relevant Serial / AUX port. #2562

UI/UX behavioral changes and/or new capabilities:

  • Prior to 2.9, when you connected the radio to the computer, two drives would be shown - a firmware drive, and the SD card. As of 2.9, only the SD card drive is shown, since updating the firmware via the firmware drive is extremely unreliable on Windows systems, and only lead to confusion.
  • B&W screen radios with haptic vibration motors gave a momentary buzz when the power-on delay has completed. Color lcd radios now also do the same.
  • Another layout was added for color radios - 4+2B right side 3QRT+1QRT by @daniel-snowsurf in #3315
