Bill describes how to use OpenTX Companion to set up Expo.


Jumper T16 Screen Set Up by Bill Clark, Feb 26, 2020

Bill demonstrates how to add some widgets to the main screen using the Tele button. He notes that you can put in the rudder value, but that can be changed to anything with a value by scrolling. He only covers a few of the possible options. He does not cover the four top widgets or even how to get to them.


Jumper T16 custom splash screen, background and model icons (with basic templates) - QUICK GUIDE by muteFPV, Feb 24, 2020

There is no voice description, but words on the screen during the video. The information goes by quickly in real time, but can paused at any time. The background music is totally irritating.


Jumper T16 Basic Model Set Up - 4 Channel Fixed Wing by Bill Clark, Feb 24, 2020

He uses the create model wizard to set up a plane, but does not show the other options for each selection. He also goes through each screen to get all of the data entered for the model that he's creating. As with all things OpenTX, this is only one way of doing the programming that he's showing. There are other ways to do it, and some may be simpler than this method.


Jumper T16 Setting Up A "Safe" Throttle by Bill Clark, Feb 21, 2020

This method might help when using ESCs that will arm when the throttle is advanced. Most of today's ESCs won't arm until the throttle is in its lowest position, but some still do.


Jumper T16 Making a Custom Sound by Bill Clark, Feb 12, 2020

He shows how he creates a file to say "Flip Mode Off". He's not sure how many characters the final wave file for the T16 can be. I checked and found eight characters to be the maximum for the file name. I also observed no uppercase letters in the file names, but digits seem to be okay.


Jumper T16 Set Up As Liftoff Controller by Bill Clark, Feb 9, 2020

Liftoff: FPV Drone Racing Simulator is from a company called Steam and costs $19.99. Bill demonstrates how he set up the JumperT16 to use this simulator.
He used the Setup Wizard and I noticed that his icon for Plane is on the left, like mine, yet all of the other Setup Wizards that I've seen online display Plane on the right.
Near the beginning of the video below this one, the Glider icon can be seen on the left and Plane icon on the right. That appears to be the most common way, and the fact that OpenTX appears to randomly place the icons bothers me.


Helicopter Basic Setup on a Jumper T16 Pro (OpenTX) Radio Controller by KoreaFalcon, Feb 5, 2020

Bill demonstrates how to set up a XYMA X5C-1 quad.


Restoring OpenTX Model & Radio Settings to the Jumper T16 by Bill Clark, Jan 31, 2020

He uses OpenTX Companion and a FrSky Tranis X-Lite to demonstrate the process, which he says would be the same with the Jumper T16. He says that all the binding would be lost using this process. He did a poor job of copying and pasting. Looks like he'd not practiced it.


Jumper T16 Parameters for Custom Model Pictures by Bill Clark, Jan 30, 2020

A short video on preparing model images for use on the Jumper T16. His sizing recommendation, 155 x 100 pixels, is very different from TMac FPV's recommendation in the chart below. I have been using TMac's sizing of 192 pixels x 114 pixels. (I confirmed that size, 192 x 114 this morning. KM)

Jumper T16: How To Add TX Battery Voltage (widgets) To Top Bar by Rc McNutt, Jan 10, 2020

He demonstrates how to add a transmitter battery voltage and transmitter voltage gauge to the top widget bar. He also notes how to set the voltage range for the transmitter battery and how to calibrate the actual battery voltage.

Unfortunately, he does not use a good method to determine the actual voltage after the charge. All batteries will be at a higher voltage after a charge. The batteries should be allowed to set a few hours before measuring with a voltage meter.


Jumper T16: How to set up a timer and add a reset switch. by Rc McNutt, Jan 8, 2020

He shows how to do it and uses his momentary switch at the top right of the transmitter, but it could be any switch.
I'm not sure why he put it on a switch. Holding down the Enter key brings up a menu with Reset in it for all of the timers, but that is how he chose to do it.
The timer also resets when the transmitter is turned off.

OpenTX Quick Tip: Failsafe by Painless360, Dec 22, 2019.

How to set the various types of failsafe and when to use them. This is NOT Jumper T16 specific. I disagree with him about the receiver option. I think it should be used.


Jumper T16 R8 Airplane Receiver Review | Fixed Wing Setup Open TX by Grayson Hobby, Dec 17, 2019


They started with setting up a model and did not show the stick calibration and other Tx setup. The transmitter needs to be set up first!
First they set up a model in the Tx. Bind to receiver. They cover how to do triple rates on ailerons. They set the failsafe selection to receiver. They show how to get rid of the failsafe not set warning when turn on the Tx. Show 5th channel for retracts and then how to discover sensors. They show how to get Tx to "announce" RSSI when switch is moved.
When setting up the failsafe they note putting that the throttle cut should be off, but they never set up the throttle cut.


JUMPER T16 OPENTX BASICS by TMac, Dec 13, 2019.

Some key concepts are discussed and described here. Some of the information only applies to multi-rotors. It is a good video to get an overall understanding, in some ways.


Jumper T16 / FrSky - Pot or Slider as Throttle Idle Cut by Schumi UAV, Dec 10, 2019.

From the video it looks like I can put the throttle cutoff on one of the 6 position switch buttons, which might be handy, which I actually did. I think he goes about this in a very roundabout way.

Jumper T16 / FrSky - Global Variables - Exponencial by Schumi UAV, Dec 6, 2019.

Global variables can be used to set up a variable Expo and Dual Rates as well as the Throttle Cut I'm considering.

By using two timers you can have one as a throttle timer and one as a count down timer. That could be useful. Shows how to do it, well not really. Moves onto how to set up a three position switch to the momentary switch so the the position of the 3-position switch determines the function on the plane. Finally shows how to do the countdown timer 2. In his example both stop when the throttle is shut down. To be useful, the count-down timer should continue, or vice versa.


Jumper T16 / FrSky - Channel Mix - Flaperons by Schumi UAV, Dec 5, 2019.

Shows flaperon setup on transmitter and how it works on the plane.


Jumper T16 / FrSky - Assign Names to Pots and Switches by Schumi UAV, Dec 5, 2019.

Jumper T16 / FrSky - Servo Delay for Flaps or any other function by Schumi UAV, Dec 5, 2019.

This is similar to a video I've seen on this topic. Uses rotary switch instead of 3 position switch.


Jumper T16 / FrSky - Sound Volume by Schumi UAV, Dec 5, 2019.

Uses same control knob as Josh Bardwell. He doesn't appear to be adding as a global/universal value, which I think it should be. He uses a special function (SF) using the SF screen. It appears to be global without using the global setup. Somewhat confusing.


Jumper T16 - Timer Reset + switches combined by Schumi UAV, Dec 4, 2019.

By using two timers you can have one as a throttle timer and one as a count down timer. That could be useful. He shows how to do it, well not really. He moves onto how to set up a three position switch to the momentary switch so the the position of the 3-position switch determines the function on the plane. Finally hs shows how to do the countdown timer 2. In his example both stop when the throttle is shut down. To be useful, the count-down timer should continue, or vice versa.

JUMPER T16 CUSTOM IMAGES by TMac, Nov 12, 2019.

Step by step for adding images to the Jumper T16. This is a very good tutorial for customizing. He puts his SD card into SD card reader and then works on the computer. The start up splash screen and model images are found in the IMAGES folder. The THRMES folder/Default contains the background images.

Jumper IMG Sizes and names

He didn't explain what he did with the original splash screen. The new image was named Splash with a capital letter when he transferred it to the SD card but it is splash with no capital S after he creates it. He did rename the background image background with no capital b. He does rename the original background.png to OLD_background.png.

Jumper T16 adding custom images by 5 MINUTE FPV, May 3, 2019.

Explains how to change background screen and more, with sizes and in what folders they are located on the the SD card. Didn't mention renaming originals to keep them if a change is made. He says that they have to be a .png, but I'm thinking, since I've seen it before that a .jpg would work, or maybe even .bmp. I don't know for sure now. Background image is the same size as the splash screen, 480x272. Model images are 192x114. The splash screen is in the Images folder on the SD card ans is called splash.png. The background image is in the Themes folder. It is named background.png. Model images go in the IMAGES folder.


Jumper T16 Setup and Transfer Models From FrSky Taranis X9D by Joshua Bardwell, Apr 27, 2019.

Follow the first about 5 minutes of this video to set up the transmitter. A better calibration video follows this video.
The date and the red T16 sticker indicate this is an early version of the T16. He sets stick lengths to his preference. Next he shows the stick calibration. He notes that there is NOT a strong detent on side sliders. He also notes that you should NOT push too hard at the edges when calibrating. Don't forget to do the top six buttons. He did not recenter the right slider before finishing the calibration.
He demonstrates how to assign volume control to a knob.
He notes that OpenTX Companion needs to be downloaded and he tells from where, but the version of OpenTX he refers to is NOT for the Jumper T16. He transfers models, but he seems very, very confused about what he's doing. Next he sets up the home screen.
