    Rotorflight is The future. it honstly was not hard to set up between the main wiki page this channel and the discord. It just makes since, sure my first heli took me about 3-4 hours to set up but my second heli only took me about 15-30 min start to finish. I cant wait for this system to start winning the big heli events. then maybe people will actually give it a chance.

    Just want to say how much I appreciate your videos on setting up the Nexus on the TX-16. I was JR user for 20 years when I got the RadioMaster TX16s a few years ago. I knew nothing about OpenTX but after many hours of reading instructions;watching a lot of videos,and a lot of frustration, I have become quite adept at programming the radio. Now I am in the same boat with ELRS and RotorFlight. Your videos have helped a great deal as my initial introduction to ELRS and RotorFlight software.

    @laurentlapassade4149 suggested Configuration - Set a UART to GPS i.e. UART3 and under Features turn on GPS. I can confirm after doing these two things, Altitude showed up as a sensor with "discover new"
  • Well done RF. However wish if can use more "friendly" term instead extreme technical term such as PID
  • @RCVideoReviews
    With some help from Rob, I figured the telemetry thing out: In the CLI sensors stop sending. That's why they went red in the video. While I entered the telemetry reuse command, I didn't "save" my changes in the CLI, instead I typed "exit". So my telemetry re-use change did not take effect. I can confirm that after entering the command and saving the change in CLI the altitude sensor does show up.

    Great video again. I'm on Ethos but it's pretty similar to edge so it helps a lot! The only thing is I want to use 3 idle up modes and autorotarion bailout (esc governor) so I have to break my head over some mixing that change the throttle hold and output values when switching the arm swith.
  • @bobwatson6558
    On the motor setup on the hobbywing esc there is a single wire for the bec and a 3 wire servo type plug that goes into the nexus esc port correct. Where does the single bec wire go.
  • @blooskyy7
    I had a similar issue with the latest version of EdgeTX Centurion, where the altitude telemetry wasn't being discovered. After reverting to the previous EdgeTX version it worked again. Could this be an issue with EdgeTX?
  • @scrc511
    Would love to try this on my 420Raw Build. Would it work with Futaba SBus? Thank you Sir!
  • @nathanc8206
    How did you assign the Collective pitch on Channel 3 along with throttle ?
  • Hello John, so many thanks for this great video very helpfull. I just received a FlyDraggon F722 V2, that I ordered 3 days before RM announced their Nexus ;o( I'm still waiting for a hobbywing RPM sensor. Just a question about elrs packet rates, I saw people telling the best to use with RF is D500. What is your recommandation? At this moment I set to 333Hz full and switch mode 16/2 channels. About your issue to get alt on the telemetry, I had to enable gps in the configuration but also to set a uart to GPS, if not then gps goes automaticly to disable even after saving parameters.

    Excellent video/tutorial. I’m still having an issue arming the motor. I assume it’s because I’m not below 1000. I’m able to change my CH3 (PitCol) however I’m not able to change the Aux 1 below 1000. Any tips?
  • @mad3djon268
    great video due you have the zip file to download your tx16s settings many thanks for your help
  • The nexus is too big for my Rotorflight project, so I won't enter your competition. However, I really appreciate your series & Radiomaster getting into Rotorflight.,
  • @MaxXGrand
    Schade ich kann kein Englisch und es ist zu kompliziert. Ich hoffe es gibt was auf deutsch das ich das ganze setup verstehe.
  • @HeliNoobRc
    Just wondering why you made it so confusing with the throttle , why not just put it with the arm switch and not worry about having it on a 3 position switch and add all that confusion. Yes it works , but I feel very unnecessary. Unless I’m missing something .
