Finally! I've always been wondering why haven't they released a transmitter as yet. Great news for newbies and experienced flyers alike

Title: Re: FRSKY TARANIS - 16 CHANNEL, FULL TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER Post by: girishsarwal on May 10, 2013, 02:21:37 PM pravesh, I'd say there have been others such as www.os-rc.com
It wouldn't qualify as a true open source unless they also publish the hardware designs. This looks something similar to what 9xr has done. hardware design is confidential and firmware is open source Title: Re: FRSKY TARANIS - 16 CHANNEL, FULL TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER Post by: pravesh736 on May 10, 2013, 02:48:19 PM In 9xr(I'm using one) hk just slapped er9x. Taranis software has been developed/modded in collaboration with the open source developers. The taranis radio case is a old jr copy . Sadly osrc(awesome system) coldnt get/find any manufacturers so it has to 3dprint it's hardware which is not yet on sale I think.

Title: Re: FRSKY TARANIS - 16 CHANNEL, FULL TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER Post by: pravesh736 on May 10, 2013, 03:16:08 PM Yes agreed not completely open source, the hardware has been there for sometime, Same as KDS radio maybe.
Title: Re: FRSKY TARANIS - 16 CHANNEL, FULL TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER Post by: girishsarwal on May 10, 2013, 03:21:16 PM Oh cool, I didn't know that, schematics for this Frsky system? I dont know about the KDS radios, are they based on the Atmegas as well
Title: Re: FRSKY TARANIS - 16 CHANNEL, FULL TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER Post by: pravesh736 on May 10, 2013, 03:28:11 PM I don't know KDS radios either but the taranis thread in rcgroups said that they might be sharing hardware and casing or only casing.
