The “used maybe 3 times” Nazgul I got on ebay just arrived.
So far I’ve had a couple of failed attempts to bind to it, but I had similar issues with the Croc and ended up having to reflash the receiver. I’ll look into this a bit further, it’s an R-XSR.
Meanwhile, it’s very noisy and twitchy. Is this normal?
The motors all function as expected when I plug it into BetaFlight.
And, of course, while all the pictures on the listing looked good, in the flesh it looks like it’s ended up in a muddy puddle at some point.
Buy into TBS Crossfire or Tracer and this will become true and you’ll never worry about failsafe again
Also the bind process is super easy put radio in bind mode plug battery into the quad press the bind button on the rx job done
Also brand new RXs come in bind mode so you don’t even need to press the button lol just put the radio into bind mode before powering up the new rx and it will bind automatically
That’s all well and good, but I’m not going to spend yet more money converting everything to Crossfire when the kit I have should work and I’m still very short on time in the air.
Thats just the “no rx” beeper i wouldnt turn it off tbh its a handy feature if the worst occurs.
Bit strange it wont bind generally a good idea is to just hold down the bind button while you plug the battery in. Kinda get what you pay for with frsky unfortunately
Thanks. I had similar issues with the GEPRC Croc Baby which came with an XM+, but after discovering that they shipped with the latest firmware that isn’t compatible with OpenTX (or the version I am running that works with my Nanohawk) I reflashed that to an earlier version and got it to bind OK.
So I figured this may be a similar issue. Also looking at the product page on HobbyRC there’s this:
**** PLEASE NOTE, New Stock now ships with ACCST V2.1 (EU LBT) Firmware on. Its far more likely you want ACCST V1 EU LBT firmware so if in doubt, please choose a different firmware option or contact us to discuss before purchasing ****
So I’ve just downloaded RXSR_LBT_ACCST_191112.frk and flashed it. Still not having much luck.
On straight power up I get solid blue, which I understand means SBUS mode, and a flashing red, which means not bound.
On powering up with the button held down I get solid blue green and red.
I have the TX12 set to FrSky X/D16 and I’m choosing the ‘Ch1-8 Telem OFF’ bind option, as this is what worked for the Croc, if I recall correctly.
I’ve messed with the FreqTune setting a bit, as I have seen some sources suggest that this might help.
Still no luck.
Well, I’ve just swapped the XM+ from the Croc onto it, which should already be bound to my controller, and it’s still not playing. I haven’t yet put it back on the Croc to double check. Decided I’d rather go to the pub.
If I switch the XM+ back to the Croc and it works it’ll be time to contact the seller.
