I had a problem today setting up wireless trainer on a couple of transmitters. A google search resulted in a helpful page that solved my problem. I have summarised it here so that I know what to do the next time.

Summary:

  • When binding the Student transmitter seems to complete the binding process (beeping stops after a few seconds). The Master transmitter does not bind (continues beeping).
    • The transmitters bind OK if the external module on the Master transmitter is switched off.
  • Wireless trainer function not working. If I get a trainer connection at all, it drops after a second or two with a "Trainer connection lost" voice message.

Transmitter 1 (Master)

  • Radiomaster TX16S Pro Max
  • EdgeTX 2.8.4
  • Internal multi - I use DSM_RX but the issue happens with any RX protocol.
  • External - Namimno 2.4GHz ELRS JR TX Pro Module (ELRS 3.2.1)
    • Packet rate 500MHz

Transmitter 2 (Student)

  • Jumper T16 Pro Hall
  • EdgeTX 2.8.4
  • Internal multi - DSM
  • External- off

The problem occurs if the ELRS packet rates are over 250Hz. Setting the packet rate to 250Hz or below solves the problem.
