Crossfire Basics for Beginners (Summer 2020)

I want a crossfire tx module and a walksnail fpv rx module on a tripod with as long of cables as practical so i can put the tripod up higher and get all around better range . Or watch fpv on a video projector screen or sit in shade on a hit day . Spotters can run around in the sun . Does a shielded cable between the tx and the crossfire module have a limit to a few meters ? I want the module up higher on the tripid and me still on the ground . Finding a place to fly with good line of sight for good radio control link is important to me .

can I use this TBS module with any version of TX16s like ELRS OR 4in1....?

hello, in my taranis 9dxplus, i have a lite module of crossfire, and when i access it from the radio which is the tools menue, it exits by itlelf after 2 min, is it a prpblem with it is it the LUA? thank you

Are the crossfire transmitter / receivers / VTX remote id capable?

Crossfire is awesome, I haven’t had any problems yet

I'm into the third video already and also looked online to try to understand, is this intended to replace my regular receivers or work in conjunction with them?

so after I c licked cronfigure crossfire the xf micro tx doesn't show up! how do I solve this solution?

Are they the same (se) tbs crossfire
Some written (se) some not written
All the same or there is a difference ??

Thanks!

Great video, I've been trying to add GPS display on my TX16S , with TBS Nano receiver. my telemetry is not showing GPS coordinates and main on board battery readings. What do I do to get the data to display? I have the Matek F-405 Wing FC on my AR wing.

My Radiomaster will not boot with the Crossfire module plugged into the back!

I saw crossfire as a $30 upgrade on drones. So, i searched “what is crossfire?” “Crossfire basics” popped up, perfect. Then, for 10 min i learned to set crossfire in a controller. So, still i don’t even know:: I’m what crossfire is, why is better, is it analog or digital, does it work in conjunction with any setup, is it a replacement for what, etc. So this yt is a setup tutorial that doesn’t say what crossfire actually is. As a true newbie looking for basic information, i still don’t know what crossfire is.

Does the Crossfire need cooling with 500mw or 1W?

Great video. I followed you step by step. In crossfire configuration, I get Tracer Micro TX not XF micro TX..Why?

i just got my tx16x combo day . im going to use it on my drones and i want to put it on a areo scout. i cant wait

You pack so much knowledge in your videos that I find my self writing notes like I'm in college lol. Thanks so for all of your videos and time you spend in the hobby!

Silly question but I’m getting back into this after two years off. Do you actually load an sd card with Lua scripts and load it into the transmitter?

I can't seem to figure out an answer to this, but if I have a Crossfire Micro and a Flight Controller with pins installed, how would I wire that up? The Crossfire Micro comes with smaller cables that don't have the typical Servo Leads at the end. Would I just have to remove the pins from the FC and solder directly, or is there a cable I could find? I tend to swap Rx's on my FC from time to time which is why I have pins soldered on.

What is the difference between wiring and using sbus or crsf? Why choose one or the other?

👀

Hi thanks great info.. But what is the difference between a Nano SE and the Immortal T v2.. It seems the Nano SE comes with a smaller Immortal T and the V2 is more powerful antenna which you can buy separately .. Or is the SE version the same??

I plugged my crossfire in as you said but its not found by the agent x software. What am I doing wrong? heeeeelp

I’ve just purchased a brand new teranis qx7s . Will I need to make the internal modification or has this now been sorted. Thanks in anticipation. Great channel bud.

Hello. I had experienced some issues with TBS Micro V2 module in my Jumper T16.

After couple of days investigating and talking with vendor, TBS, and even local RC shop I have found out that Crossfire was NOT working due to locked module. This should not happen but good to know for other multi-module owners.

Module locking is there to comply with local law e.g. in Europe we can only do 25mW power legally. . .

Anyway. . .just letting you know just in case somebody had/have the same issue and would like to throw their multimodule or TBS Micro so far away. :-) They do not have to do that now! 😃Problem solved by unlocking the module by clicking bind button 10x.

Query from India
Please make this same discriptive video for R9m module and r9mx receiver.
Also suggest a budget flight control for the receiver connection.

i prefer ezuhf to this. much simpler to set up and a solid signal at 433mhz. but the receiver is bigger and heavier compared to the tiny one for this.

Great video! Thank you!

Hi im new to inav in a way. I have the inav luau running on my TX16s but can only get the rssi to show. I would like to have the full telemetry features shown on my radio. Can you help????I'm using the tbs micro TX and nano RX

Great review mate....looking to get crossfire one day so this will be my go too video and channel!!...cheers

A big shout out from the land of Looney Tunes. The United States of course. I really appreciate how you explain things. You're a great teacher when it comes to explaining RC for a Newbie like myself. You have definitely helped me out a lot when it comes to setting up Crossfire. Props to you and a huge thank you!

Hi I'm just a bit stuck at the moment on which crossfire module I need to purchase for my tx16s. I have a nazgul 5HD that has tbs nano. Do I purchase a tbs micro v2 or tbs nano tx module?

Do you have to crossfire configure for every model?

Hey Lee. I have a quick question I hope you can answer:

On the Crossfire Diversity Nano (and maybe full size as well), how do you keep the GPS powered while it's in beacon (find) mode? I can't figure it out. When I disconnect the main lipo, the RX stays alive but the GPS goes dark. I don't get it. Is there a hidden 3.3v or 5v output on the RX or something?

I could connect it directly to the 1s backup lipo but that would mean death for the battery pretty quickly unless I remember to disconnect it every time I land. Hope you have the answer.

Hello, is that module compatible with flysky th9x radio?

Thank you for explanations. I had a problems with setup. The problem was in In the purity of the signal between EU and US. Thank you ! Like + describe !!! :))

Good tip about antenna mounting! 👍

I am a back yard RC flyer of foamie planes and an assortment of FPV mini quads. I use Taranis X9D and X-Lite. I have a variety of receivers, but for the quads it is exclusively the XM+.
Checking out the Crossfire gear, I wonder what would be the benefits I could expect for the investment. I don't fly further away than I would care to have to walk to find and retrieve my model and I am not into racing - Cinewhoops are my favorite, but I do have a Tiny Hawk and a 7" cruiser quad I built too. Your thoughts?

What's the name of the device you powered the receiver with? And does it come with the crossfire kit?

Hi, does crossfire works with frsky receiver? Thanks

I know that a lot of people seem to like the Radiomaster TX16s, but if you had to recommend another radio to look at for entry level, what would it be? Thanks.

Hello, I would like to buy a "Tbs crossfire MICRO tx v2" and mount an "Diamond Antenna", but I see that the new crossfire versions already have a T-antenna installed.
Is it possible to remove it to mount the diamond antenna or you have to keep the one already combined with the module?
thanks a lot for all the videos, they are always very useful.

Thanks for your video and especially for comment about antenna positioning. I wondered about this question and didn't hope to find such full answer. The content you created here is extremely helpful.

Will this go in a Turngy Xr without modification?

i dont get it, can i fly wing with tx micro v2 and rx nano without fc? i dont get it :( how to conect all without fc

Can you tell me, Why are my Horus X12S "only" waiting Crossfire device, it not even see it. WHY..

Being old school I typically RTFM (Read The Full Manual), but this video clears up a bunch of questions. Very painless, thanks.

Are you still planning on making more crossfire for beginners videos?

What actually is CRSF for?

I got a nano and soldered on the pwm 6 channel adaptor,, it's bound and updated,, but won't arm my plane or move any servos..watching all your vids again to try to figure out what I'm missing....hmm? For output chapel I tried setting to ch1 to ch1 which is pwm ch1 I thought, but still can't seem to get them to talk... On my tx16s I don't see PWM as an option? Is ch 1 actually pwm ch1???
