![]() Libraries like mecode give you precise control over the tool path, and thus are useful if you have a complex print that is not suitable for naive slicing. Another option for G-code generation is to use a lower level library like mecode. ![]() Slicers are the easiest way to go from a 3D model to a printed part, however the user sacrifices some flexibility when using them. These programs import a CAD model, slice it into layers, and output the G-code required to print each layer. One method would be to use a slicing program such as Slic3r, Skeinforge or Cura. There are a few different ways to prepare G-code for a printer. Codes for print head movements follow the NIST RS274NGC G-code standard, so RepRap firmwares are quite usable for CNC milling and similar applications as well. The main target is additive fabrication using FFF processes. You can check the release history of OpenTX on this page.This page tries to describe the flavour of G-codes that the RepRap firmwares use and how they work. Downgrading models and settings is not possible, so should you want to switch back to an older major version you will need to either reload your backup or start from scratch again. When upgrading from one major version to the next it is recommended to backup both your current firmware and settings, and to thoroughly check all of your models’ functions still operate correctly after the built-in upgrade procedure has completed. Updates between major versions are manual, you need to download the required companion yourself, no updates will be automatically offered. Major releases are independent, OpenTX companion 2.0.x will download firmware 2.0.x, OpenTX companion 2.1.x will download firmware 2.1.x etc. Advanced users who want to be on the bleeding edge, want to provide feedback and/or suggest modifications, can find their way without documentation and can follow the evolution closely are welcome to do so during the unstable period, of course at their own risk.Ĭurrently, the supported major versions of OpenTX are: They should thus stick with “stable” versions. We recommend “normal users” not to jump on a new major revision straight away as following the minor revisions of an unstable branch requires careful attention to the changelog to find out about things that may have changed and could potentially break existing setups, and documentation is usually not ready yet. its features will be frozen, and from that moment on any new minor versions would only be released to fix bugs that may be discovered. Once things have settled and we have decent documentation available that major version will become “stable” i.e. Minor releases within a major one will fix bugs, correct functionality that needs changes, add new functionality that doesn’t require breaking compatibility, or remove features that are deemed useless.Īs we are dependent on user feedback, a major release will start as “unstable” and will go through several rounds of refinement based on the gathered user experiences, which can initially cause radical changes in the way a feature operates between minor versions. Major releases represent big steps with lots of feature changes and new functionality, which require changes in the way model data is stored and thus breaks compatibility with the previous one. OpenTX versions are delivered as sets of major and minor releases. SD card contents for OpenTX 2.3, with sound packs About OpenTX versions SD card contents for OpenTX 2.2, with sound packs Sound packs can be downloaded either through companion (the Download dialog will point you to the correct directory for the selected radio type), or from the links below: ![]() PLEASE NOTE that the firmware you run on the radio and companion you use on the PC to edit settings must be of the same branch! Sound packs OpenTX Companion is then used to load the firmware to your radio. OpenTX Companion needs to be configured for the proper radio type and with the firmware options you choose, so that a customised firmware file with these options can be prepared for you by our build server and downloaded to your PC. This branch is the first to support the FrSky Taranis X9E (tray version).įirmware downloads are exclusively available from within OpenTX Companion’s “Download” dialog. The original upgrade notes from 2.0 to 2.1 can be found here. 2.1 introduced completely new telemetry handling compared to 2.0, and also requires a different sound pack (see below). It is the last version to support AVR-based radios (9X/9XR with stock board, Gruvin9x, DIY MEGA2560). ![]() SD Card contents for nightly builds OpenTX 2.1 branchĭeprecated, no more support will be given but firmware downloads are still available for the time being. ![]() Only intented to verify if bugfixes/new features work as expected. Should be done before flashing these firmware. Asĭuring development, critical bugs might be introduced, these versions The nightly builds are automatic builds that are build every day. ![]()
