TBS Crossfire Beginner Guide (2023 Update)

i need help, why my receiver not flashing any lights Thanks

When I go into radio setting in Agent Lite on my FrSky DX9 Plus, I dont see the option to set the region. My menu is: Max Power, Dyn Power, Power Switch, Encryption. As of late, I have switched my FrSky from ACCST to EdgeTx and have a Crossfire Tracer Tx module with a Tracer Rx on my Flywoo LR. I have flashed the board in beta flight to the latest firmware, added the lua script to the Tx and setup a model. I am able to bind to the model but cannot get any channels to work. My stick inputs dont show up in beta flight or the Edge Tx companion in simulation or calibration. I can plug the FrSky into my computer and play Uncrashed, but nothing seems to work outside of that. I have tried both UARTS in bata flight, reflashed the both the FC board and the controller with no luck. Anyone have any ideas? Im about to give up on this.

Hi Joshua, I have Tango 2 Pro V3, a lot of articles online talking about TBS Crossfire Nano RX tracer that you mount in the back of the controller, can you share some thoughts on it. Thanks

hai sir, i have installed crossfire filmware and sdcontents. the folder appear on my taranis qx7 then after i executed i found my crossfire nano reciever but i cannot select or click it. can you help me with that?

i have a tx16s and a tbs nano rx that i just put in my quad i stuck in the step where the tx16s i having a blue ring light on the modulke and reciever(nano on the quad) is green. but it will not respond to activationb ocn the killswitch to set quad in idle and take off.

🐐 🐐

great vid

Hello. I need to use a mark5 o3 crossfire version with a dji fpv remote controller 2 (using the o3 air unit). How is it possible? Do i need to disconnect any cable from the crossfire? Thank you a lot.

Purchased a Boxer, Crossfire mini Tx and Nano Rx here in the UK. Followed the video to set it all up and all went very smoothly. A thousand thanks.

I'm following through this guide, but my nano RX does not enter binding mode (blinking red) even after I push the button. What could be the problem?

Will tracer work with f7 v3?

Is it possible to move Crossfire Tx V2 module between two radio transmitters? I have one TX module and want to move it back and forth between my Radiomaster TX16s and Jumper Pro and be able to fly the same quad without setting up all switches (arming ...) each time. Appreciate any help

Is it still possible to get the full tx

I have a Spektrum IX14 for all of my Helicopters and planes. Is it worth it to buy the module or just buy another transmitter for drones? I'd like to use my IX for all of my aircraft.

Thank you so much for the toutorial. It helped me so much ;)

Well I did learned a lot today! Thanks Joshua!

So today I resurrected my X9D-plus flashed up to date firmware no problem. Flashed new TBS crossfire micro also no problem but when I open new model on my radio and try to set external RF to CRSF the radio simply blinks out and returns to the menu with out changing to crossfire. Tried different models and reflashing everything and searching but it doesn’t even seem to be a problem anyone else has had? Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Josh, Mate help please, Boxer......Did the agent lite update, But where you skipped those files to update, I replaced them to update to 0.96,
Now Tbs Agent lite will not load form the first TOOLS menu.....Error message reads......(Syntax error ?:0 attempt to call a nil value)......It will load from...Scripts/TOOLS...This is the only way to open Tbs Agent Lite.......and I'll be buggered if I know!
Cheers mate, Jas.

Thank you Mr. Bardwell

the new agent SUCKS. it's based on mass surveillance parasitism and it's just not worth it

Whats the diffrence between the tbs nano and micro? I want long range and live in the EU

wtf why

Thank you for your worok sir

I really wish someone would put together a buying guide, TBS crossfire fpv whoop/controller/goggles etc. video. There is literally no video out there explaining this. Only "get a DJI goggle/controller" for easiest use.

Great channel and great work at all! Thank you!
I just updated my crossfire micro TX to 6.19 which says it reenable the CRSF V3 protocol. But in my TX16S it still shows me CRSFshot. Could you explain me why? Is this right? Is V3 a kind of shot?
And on the external module screen I could set the baudrate. Now its on 400k. Could I set this higher or is this the max. rate CRSF micro TX supports?

hey JB Im just wondering my rssi changed i looked into the sensors. Is it currently rfmd 2 and rsnr 80 tsnr 70 with rpm as a value ?

hello joshua i have a question i hope you help me, i'm lukas and i have a taranis qx7s with a tbs crossfire module a buddy tied my 5" quad back then (a year and a half ago)
now i've bought a meteor 65 crossfire editon and i've been trying to connect it for a month but i just can't get it to work i've tried so many things but i'm no tech genius.
I hope you help me :D

I would be screwed without your info. Thanks.

random but what do you hink would be the better option the mambo or the tango 2

Josh...I hope you realize that without your knowledge lots of folks would have given up. Thank you so much!

So after I dragged the files over to my RM TX16s SD card I can no longer get the long hold scroll wheel menu to show up. Long holding the scroll wheel does nothing now. What happened?

Im on Betaflight 10.9 configurator runninf BF 4.4 on my Diatone mamba f722 APP, and for the life of me i cannot get stick inputs to show up in betaflight. I checked the ports amd tried rewiring the rx and tx wires to different port numbers with no luck. also running agent lite version .92 with tango II xf version 6.19 and the RX firmware is also v6.19. Has anyone else been having this issue at all?

This video was great help for me to get to know this radiomaster boxer i just got. With all of this crossfire hassel i might have to swith to 2.4 and move to ELRS but I do like TBS and crossfire but this hassel just may not be worth it

any help woullld be aweeeesooomeee

@Joshua Bardwell I'd like to ask you about 8vs12 channels before (2 years ago) you claimed that 8 channels is the better than 12 channels (because TBS said so without any reasonable explanation) and now 12 is OK? What has changed?

What if your module does not have a USB port?

Great refresher course on crossfire. Made me realize I haven’t updated in a while am I’m behind. Lol. I hope to see you do an updated video on the ghost system soon. @JoshuaBardwell

11 Days late on saying thank you got cross fire for qx7 tuesday 17th missed the post thanks again

great video, just bought a new radio with a crossfire module and want to switch from the dji remote - great timing

In the last video you recommended staying on 8 Channels. Do you meanwhile know the "disadvantages" when switching to 12 Channels as you know recommend to use all 12 Channels now?

Wasn't there some advantage that trappy mentioned in the past to running 8 channels over 12? I don't think he got specific but was always wondering what the advantage was.

The "My VTX" feature eliminates the need for fiddling with vtx tables ( BF4.3+ now makes vtx tables easy, but MyVtx means no tables). I was also surprised how many situations it is more useful than the BF OSD Smart Audio, because you dont need to have a video feed to change your vtx settings. Great if you're crashed out in the field, or on the bench.

I hate software that forces you to register an account with the company for no good reason. The Agent X application allows you to skip account registration/login. At least for now anyway. But the Agent Web does not. You have to create an account to use it.

Anyone know if TBS will be releasing the PRO version of Crossfire Diversity Nano RX with 500mw output power?

thanks once again!! @joshua bardwell which sd card file should the tango 2 pro have if its updated to all the latest public firmwares i keep getting a bad sd card content error on startup and wont bind to any rxs after even after reset.

This was the video I needed after all those issues with agent X and crsf v3 failsaving with betaflight 4.3 Tomorrow is update day ✌️🤘

I still remember the days when you and TBS wanted to "kill" each other.
It's nice to see that you are friends know.
Today I learned from you how to make friends with former enemies and I got a looong list... 🤣

Agent X is now called TBS Agent. It's still an application.

@joshua bardwell hey Josh Hoping to get some helpful answers if your are willing, I just finished my 5 in tbs one and watched your vid on motors revving by them selves on the bench with out props, I understand that’s normal, but with mine with the props on when I try to fly it it gets of the ground at about 15 to 25 percent throttle then shoots straight into the air full throttle like a bat out of hell no control until I smack disarm and catch it, in receiver on bet flight it looks fine when I move gimbals and rotate drone. driving me nuts searching google so I thought I’d try to ask you. I have 1900 kv emax ecos skystars 55amp f405 hd2 stack fly sky a8s receiver and rush fpv race 2 vtx.thankyou josh so much look forward to a response love your vids man! Thankyou!!!
