In this video I show how to update your OpenTX transmitter. In this video, I update a RadioMaster TX16S to OpenTX 2.3.11. However, the process is the same for other OpenTX radios. We cover making a backup of your transmitter and models, as well as updating the SC card contents.
When you copy SD card contents, make sure you keep the following folders from your old setup (as of 2.3.11):
- FIRMWARE
- IMAGES
- LOGS
- MODELS *
- RADIO *
- SCRIPTS
- SOUNDS
- SxR Calibrate
- THEMES *
- WIDGETS *
* These may only appear on some transmitters
