Horus X10 Express OpenTX 2.3 User Manual

Total: 0.00

Updated manual for the Horus Express X10/S ACCESS OpenTX 2.3 version

 

With the 2.3 release of this manual we now include new information for the radios with ACCESS capabilities like the X10S Express and X10/X10S fitted with the ISRM upgrade kit

 

For the Horus X10 and X10S user this comprehensive manual written and put together by Lothar Thole is a must have. An easy to follow thorough page by page explanation of the hardware and how to program, detailed with diagrams to assist you to achieve the best from OpenTX and the Horus.

 

The manual comprises of four main sections: the Reference section, a 'How To' section, a series of Programming Tutorials and an Introduction to OpenTX Companion.

 

The Reference section

A complete and comprehensive reference to the X10/X10S and OpenTX firmware, covering:

•             The radio's features and specifications

•             The front and rear layout of the transmitter's controls and interfaces, and adjustments

•             Charging the battery, and receiver binding and setup

•             Menu Navigation

•             The Startup Screens, and the Main Views

•             The Radio Setup pages

•             The Model Setup pages, which go over the details of every control and function. Telemetry is also covered in great detail.

•             The TELEM Setup pages, which go over the details of configuring the Main Views by defining the widgets to be displayed. Up to five Main Views (with or without the Top Bar) may be defined.

 

The 'How To' section covers:

•             Installing the STM32 BOOT-LOADER Driver

•             Backing up the Radio Firmware and Model files

•             Installing a sound pack

•             Upgrading the Radio Firmware

•             Upgrading Receiver, Sensor and RF Module Firmware

•             Installing a Sound Pack

 

The Programming Tutorials

The Programming Tutorials include specific examples for programming a basic 4 channel glider, a flying wing, adding a motor, and programming a multirotor using Betaflight. They are designed to show the newcomer how to go about programming and setting up a model. When following the examples, the user is directed to the relevant Reference sections for a fuller explanation of each function and details of the relevant settings.

 

The examples cover all the basic programming steps (including setting up the Inputs, Mixer and Outputs). It then covers mixes for improvements to flight behavior, and the use of Global Variables and Special Functions. The user will be able to adapt these techniques to their model, and in doing so become familiar with OpenTX while gaining an understanding of the control flow. Because OpenTX is immensely flexible and powerful, with no standard pre-programmed mixes, there are multiple ways to accomplish the same objective. For this reason best practice is described, so that you can develop a logical and consistent approach to programming all your models. This will help to ensure that you will still understand how your model’s programming works when you come back to it after some time.

 

Whether you want to become an OpenTX power user or would just like to have a good reference manual, the Horus X10/X10S User Manual is worth its weight in gold. The manual will also be useful to X12S owners because the X10 series is based on the X12S. Although the radio layout and user interface buttons are different, the programming is essentially identical.

 

This manual needs all of our help to survive. As OpenTX and the Horus X10 series continue to evolve this manual will be periodically updated and re-released, so it remains a viable tool within the RC community.  Please, do not copy, reproduce or in any way release the information contained within.
