2.3 アンテナの設置

Ensure the antenna is securely attached to the top of the radio controller before powering on. This is crucial for proper signal transmission and reception.

2.4 Firmware and Software

The TX12 MKII comes with EdgeTX operating system pre-installed. Firmware upgrades can be performed via USB/SD card using EdgeTX Buddy online or EdgeTX Companion PC software. Regular updates are recommended to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.

3. 操作手順

3.1 電源のオン/オフ

To power on the controller, press and hold the power button until the screen illuminates. To power off, press and hold the power button again until the shutdown sequence completes.

3.2 Basic Controls and Ergonomics

The TX12 MKII features high-precision hall gimbals for smooth and accurate control. The rear case has comfortable grips, and the S1/S2 slider grips have been improved for better tactile feedback. The controller also includes a standard JR module bay for external modules.

3.3 表示とナビゲーション

The 128x64 monochrome LCD display provides clear information. Use the navigation buttons (SYS, RTN, PAGE>, PAGE<, TELE) to move through menus and adjust settings within the EdgeTX operating system.

3.4 Binding and Pairing (ELRS Protocol)

The TX12 MKII supports ExpressLRS (ELRS) and CC2500 RF chips. For ELRS binding, ensure your drone has a compatible ELRS receiver. The power-on pairing method is typically used: power on the drone three consecutive times. Observe the receiver light; it should flash twice continuously, indicating it's in pairing mode. Then, on the remote control, switch to ELRS 2.4G protocol (if not already) and initiate the binding process. The remote control may vibrate, and the receiver light will steady upon successful pairing.

3.5 シミュレータの使用

The TX12 MKII can be connected to a computer via its USB-C port for use with flight simulators. This allows for practice and skill development without risking actual models. Ensure the simulator software is configured to recognize the controller as a joystick.
