Mobula7 EU-LBT TaranisQ X7 Binding Problem!

[opts]

Perfect! Yes, those are the ones. You will find them useful for other things in the future perhaps - Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Robotics, Synthesizers and all kinds of electronics. A great multi-use purchase!

 

[HighTechPauper]

As @opts said, they are perfect and you have the location and order correct on the radio end.

 

[opts]

I must plug them here right?

Yes! Check the orientation of the plugs - all 3 the correct way up will fit the space perfectly, almost as thought they are made to fit! Well you know what? They literally are!

Thank you so much @HighTechPauper & @opts!
How do I proceed?

1 - Do I remove the plastic
2- I put the pins on the pads?

Yup, pretty much! I think I made a small snip (4-5mm) along the edge of the clear heatshrink (i used flush cutters) so I had just enough room to fit the Dupont wires under, but it still held them in place a bit.

 

[HighTechPauper]

Theoretically if you are careful about any shorting you can likely just push the 3 pins into the correct pads and flash, be careful not to put too much pressure so you don't crack the frame of the quad.

 

[thedroneracingpilot]

the pins just have to touch the top of the other cables right?

 

[thedroneracingpilot]

So I should get ready the radio config and get the 3 pins and put them over the 3 pads/bubbles the run the software right?

@thedroneracingpilot, you have the wrong flash selected, you need to be in Flash S-Port, that is the one that goes out the bottom of the radio. Internal is the internal XJT board, external is a module in the JR bay in the back top of the radio, and SBUS is the pins on the bottom left of the SD card. You only need to touch the solder with the pins to get an electrical connection and hold it steady for the 30 seconds it takes to flash the RX, if it starts and then fails you lost contact for a second, just try again, if it fails to communicate then you have the pins on the wrong pads or not connected enough for the radio to see the RX. In this instance only, SBUS and S-Port are the same.

Do you mean that my cables should be connected here in the back?
and select the option Flash S.Port for the installation?

*I don't know if my cables are long enough to be connected on the back and touch the pads mean while I try flash the receiver.

 

[HighTechPauper]

No, that is how it used to be done back in the day when radios didn't have an SBUS/S-Port connection in the bottom. You should be using the bottom connection on the left of the SD card, and using the Flash S-Port selection. Also make sure you have the pins on the correct pads, you show an R9 Mini which has more pads and not in the correct location compared to the XM+.

@HighTechPauper I managed to flash the receiver as you instruct me, but I still can not bind it to the drone. any idea why?

 

[thedroneracingpilot]

I will try to create a new bind and now I have to choose a model type, any idea of what it is?

also, in open TX you can turn off that model select screen, assuming you're only going to be fyling quadcopters of course/

Did the taranis say "flash successful/complete" or something to confirm, after you flashed the XM+

If so, the following instructions should see you over the finish line -

see my previous post:

to bind:
Put QX7 into:
XJT D16 mode.
Failsafe: No pulses
then select Bind mode - it will start bleeping.

Next, hold the bind button on the XM+ while connecting the battery. (it's fiddly but you'll get it. I used a blunt bamboo skewer to push the tiny button)
The Green light on xm+ goes solid, release button on xm+ and stop Bind mode on QX7.
Disconnect, then reconnect battery on the Mob7 and it should all be bound!

Finally connect to betaflight to set up your switches and sticks etc. and fly!

Still no luck. I have tried D8 too.

if you flip switches on the taranis do the LEDs change at all on the mobula7?
and did the XM+ LED go solid green?

 

[thedroneracingpilot]

We made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yess! Great!!
