EdgeTX "Queen Anne's Revenge" v2.12.0-RC1

We are pleased to offer the first release candidate for EdgeTX "Queen Anne's Revenge" v2.12.0.

Warning

As this is a release candidate, it is virtually guaranteed there will still be some minor issues that need resolving before final release - some may be documented already under "known issues" section of these release notes or the associated tracking issue. We need your help in testing this release to ensure there are no major bugs or faults that will cause problems during flight. During release candidates, the matching SD card pack and voice pack versions to use 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. It is only with your feedback and testing by you, our community (and the assistance provided by partner manufacturers) which will allow us to identify and squash both new and old bugs, and progress onto a stable release version!! We simply cannot do this without you! 🤗 🍻

Warning

If you are using a STM32 F2 based radio, stop right now, this release is not for you! EdgeTX v2.11 is the last release series to support these radios. Check this list if you are unsure if this affects you. Because of this, EdgeTX v2.11 will continue to be supported alongside 2.12, 3.0, etc., with a focus on bug fixes.

Warning

Radios based on STM32H7 MCUs update differently to older radios. Do not use the "Flash via USB" option with them (yet). To update, you put them into bootloader mode (hold the horizontal trims inwards and power them on) and then plug in the USB. One or two drives may appear - one named EDGETX_UF2, and the other representing your SD card. Copy or download the new firmware UF2 file to the EDGETX_UF2 drive, and when the progress bar on the radio screen has reached completion, you can safely unplug the radio, which should then reboot into EdgeTX. Alternately, you can use Companion, as this supports both UF2 and DFU updating of STM32H7 radios (such as the Flysky PA01 & ST16, Jumper T15 Pro, RM TX15).

Note

For MacOS users, Companion is now only compiled for MacOS 12 and above. Stay with v2.10.5 or earlier if you need support for an older version of MacOS.

Note

Migration Information

• If you have an old OpenTX Companion (.otx) file you need to convert or open, you will need to use EdgeTX Companion v2.10 or earlier.
• If you wish to upgrade from OpenTX 2.3 or EdgeTX 2.4/2.5, you must use either EdgeTX v2.8.x firmware or EdgeTX Companion v2.10.x.

See the EdgeTX Manual for more information.

Highlights of this release include:

Support for two new next gen STM32 H7 based radios, some tweaks for B&W radios, a lot of fixes and some new features for colorlcd radios, a lot of under the hood fixes and changes, improvements to flashing DFU/UF2 firmware in Companion. EdgeTX v2.12 is intended to be a stable firmware series for STM32 H7 radios which where added in 2.11 and the pre-release 3.0 which has been postponed as the new UI being worked on is not ready yet for prime time use, meaning no more "use the nightly version" or checking some manufacturer website to see if there are any updates. It is suitable for testing for anyone with a STM32F4 or STM32H7 handset - check this list if you are unsure which yours is.

EdgeTX "Jolly Mon" v2.11.4

We are pleased to announce the fourth maintenance release for EdgeTX "Jolly Mon", v2.11.4. Thank you for all the feedback and testing by you, the community (and partner manufacturers) which has allowed us to identify and squash both new and old bugs!! We simply cannot have done this without you! 🤗 🍻

Note

• As with any firmware update, 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.
• For MacOS users, Companion is now only compiled for MacOS 12 and above. Stay with v2.10.5 or earlier if you need support for an older version of MacOS.

If you have an old .otx file you need to convert or open, you will need to use an older version of EdgeTX Companion. This follows on from EdgeTX 2.8 being the last firmware version to support binary conversion (i.e. from OpenTX 2.3 or earlier versions of EdgeTX).

What's Changed

This is basically an overdue maintenance release, that fixes issues for colorlcd and H7 MCU based radios, as well as the recently added Flysky ST16 and PA01. It also fixes some issues for older handsets / protocols (i.e. FrSky ACCST handsets, XJT module, PWM gimbals). It is recommended anyone already on 2.11 should update, as it is primarily bug fixes only.

All Radios

• radio settings may be incorrect after updating from Companion (#6866)

A more simplified overview, which is broken down into by screen type (Color LCD and B&W), is available in the user manual here. You can also check the 2.11.0 release notes for what was new or changed in this release.

Full Changelog: v2.11.3...v2.11.4

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.
• Due to a change in how the battery voltage calculation is done, you may want to double-check the accuracy of your measured battery voltage if you have calibrated it in the past. #5635, #6255

UI/UX behavioral changes and/or new capabilities:

• Color LCD: menus now "wrap around" when using the rotary encoder, allowing you to get to back to the top of the list quickly (#4867)
• Companion: New menus have been added, and menu entries reorganized to be no so cluttered and more logical (#5753)
• Companion: Now automatically validates if any model settings have any missing mixer or input sources, and prevents writing of invalid model configurations to handset, while turning invalid model names red. Shows a red/green traffic light at the bottom of the models window to indicate overall status (#5798)

Warning

Due to a change in how the handset battery voltage calculation is done (due to #5635, #6255), you may want to double-check the accuracy of your measured handset battery voltage if you have calibrated it in the past. The default value should be pretty close if you have never calibrated it.

• 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.
• Due to a change in how the battery voltage calculation is done, you may want to double check the accuracy of your measured battery voltage if you have calibrated it in the past. #5635, #6255

UI/UX behavioural changes and/or new capabilities:

• Color LCD: menus now "wrap around" when using the rotary encoder, allowing you to get to back to the top of the list quickly (#4867)
• Companion: New menus have been added, and menu entries reorganized to be no so cluttered and more logical (#5753)
• Companion: Now automatically validates if any model settings have any missing mixer or input sources, and prevents writing of invalid model configurations to handset, while turning invalid model names red. Shows a red/green traffic light at the bottom of the models window to indicate overall status (#5798)

EdgeTX "Jolly Mon" v2.11.1

We are pleased to announce the first maintenance release for EdgeTX "Jolly Mon", v2.11.1. Thank you for all the feedback and testing by you, the community (and partner manufacturers) which has allowed us to identify and squash both new and old bugs!! We simply cannot have done this without you! 🤗 🍻

Note

• As with any firmware update, 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.
• For MacOS users, Companion is now only compiled for MacOS 13 and above. Stay with v2.10.5 or earlier if you need support for an older version of MacOS.
• EdgeTX Companion v2.11 can no longer do binary conversions, and thus cannot open .otx files. If you have an old .otx file you need to convert or open, you will need to use an older version of EdgeTX Companion. This follows on from EdgeTX 2.8 being the last firmware version to support binary conversion (i.e. from OpenTX 2.3 or earlier versions of EdgeTX).

Warning

Due to a change in how the handset battery voltage calculation is done (due to #5635, #6255), you may want to double check the accuracy of your measured handset battery voltage if you have calibrated it in the past. Default value should be pretty close if you have never calibrated it.

EdgeTX "Jolly Mon" v2.11.0-RC4

We are pleased to offer the fourth (and hopefully final 🤞 ) release candidate for EdgeTX "Jolly Mon" v2.11.0. Thank you for all the feedback and testing that has allowed us to identify and squash the bugs identified thus far!! 🤗 🍻

Warning

As this is a release candidate, it is virtually guaranteed there will still be some minor issues that need resolving before final 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 to use 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.

• Can now use EdgeTX CloudBuild to automatically download translated firmware (#4856)
• Simulator now uses a generic user interface (rather than semi-realistic), making the interface consistent and easier to add new radio handsets (#5692)
• Menus have been reorganized to be less cluttered (#5753)
• Can now Read from and Write to the configured radio SD card profile path (#5753)

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

Full Changelog: v2.10.6...v2.11.0-rc2

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.
• Please check #6024 during the release candidate phase for any other release candidate specific issues and status of fixes.

UI/UX behavioral changes and/or new capabilities:

• Color LCD: menus now "wrap around" when using the rotary encoder, allowing you to get to back to the top of the list quickly (#4867)
• Companion : New menus have been added, and menu entries reorganized to be no so cluttered and more logical (#5753)
• Companion : Now automatically validates if any model settings have any missing mixer or input sources, and prevents writing of invalid model configurations to handset, while turning invalid model names red. Shows a red/green traffic light at the bottom of the models window to indicate overall status (#5798)

Language and Custom builds

Custom prebuilt firmware is no longer available. However, the CloudBuild option in EdgeTX is here to allow you to build your own firmware, with just a few clicks. Additionally, EdgeTX Companion now also has some support for CloudBuild, and will automatically fetch firmware for a supported language when you use the "Update components" option. But you can still build your own firmware online following this guide, request a specific build at TODO or ask on Discord for someone to build one for you.

EdgeTX "Jolly Mon" v2.11.0-RC2

We are pleased to offer the second release candidate for EdgeTX "Jolly Mon" v2.11.0. Thank you for all the feedback and testing that has allowed us to identify and squash the bugs identified in the first round.

Warning

As this is a release candidate, it is virtually guaranteed there will still be some minor issues that need resolving before final 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 to use 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

For MacOS users, Companion is now only compiled for MacOS 13 and above. Stay with v2.10.5 or earlier if you need support for an older version of MacOS.

Note

EdgeTX Companion v2.11 can no longer do binary conversions, and thus cannot open .otx files. If you have an old .otx file you need to convert or open, you will need to use an older version of EdgeTX Companion. This follows on from EdgeTX 2.8 being the last firmware version to support binary conversion (i.e. from OpenTX 2.3 or earlier versions of EdgeTX).

Full Changelog: v2.11.0-rc1...v2.11.0-rc2

Highlights of this release include:

Generally

• Support for next generation radios (based on H5/H7 microcontrollers) which will bring much faster color LCD and black & white radios, with lots more RAM and flash in order to bring new features and functionality (#5228)
• Can now use u-blox native binary protocol (rather than only NMEA) if adding a GPS to your handset (#4689)
• When editing telemetry sensor ratios, you can also see the percentage value to help give the value meaning (#4649)
• Update to Lua 5.3 (was previously 5.2) - saves some RAM, and also allows for binary compatibility with Companion (meaning .luac files created using simulator on the PC are now compatible with the handset) (#4203)
• ELRSv4: Master/CRSF trainer option to use ELRS backpack to relay head tracker data as inputs (#5724)
• ELRSv4: support for optional arming method that frees up CH5 (#5641)
