We are pleased to offer EdgeTX "Queen Anne's Revenge" v2.12.0. Thank you for all the feedback and testing by you, the community (and partner manufacturers) which has allowed us to identify and squash both new and old bugs!! We simply cannot have done this without you! ๐ค ๐ป
Note
As with any firmware update, please ensure you back up your model and radio settings before updating, fully bench-test your models after updating, and report any issues you encounter.
For MacOS users, Companion is now only compiled for MacOS 12 and above. Stay with v2.10.5 or earlier if you need support for an older version of MacOS.
Migration Information
- If you have an old OpenTX Companion (.otx) file you need to convert or open, you will need to use EdgeTX Companion v2.10 or earlier.
- If you wish to upgrade from OpenTX 2.3 or EdgeTX 2.4/2.5, you must use either EdgeTX v2.8.x firmware or EdgeTX Companion v2.10.x.
See the EdgeTX Manual for more information.
Warning
If you are using a STM32 F2 based radio, EdgeTX v2.11 is the last release series to support these radios. Check this list or the Supported Radios list if you are unsure if this affects you. Because of this, EdgeTX v2.11 will continue to be supported alongside 2.12, 3.0, etc., with a focus on bug fixes.
Tip
Radios based on STM32H7 MCUs update differently to older radios. To update radios such as the Flysky PA01 & ST16, Jumper T15 Pro, RadioMaster TX15 and TX16S MK3, please follow the instructions in the EdgeTX Manual.
Highlights of this release include:
Support for several next gen STM32 H7 based radios. B&W screen radios get a model quick select option and source options for mixes are consistent with their color screen counterparts. Color screen radios get theme control of the quick menu, QR GPS code locator tool and a few more screen layout options. There are a lot of under the hood fixes and changes, as well as STM32F4 radios being generally faster to start than in 2.11. Companion has improvements to firmware flashing generally (in addition to the necessary added support for UF2 files), can download and install the ExpressLRS Lua tool as part of update checks, will preserve your calibration settings when writing old model and radio settings to the handset, and will also ensure your model notes are stored in your .etx file.
EdgeTX v2.12 is intended to be a stable firmware series for STM32 H7 radios which where added in 2.11 and the pre-release 3.0 which has been postponed as the new UI being worked on is not ready yet for prime time use. This is so you no longer have to use the nightly version or checking some manufacturer website to see if there are any updates. While the focus is for STM32H7 radios, it is suitable for anyone with a STM32F4 or STM32H7 handset (with one exception - the PA01 - there are some outstanding issues for this handset still which makes 2.11 the better choice for now).
