Introduction To OpenTX
OpenTX is an open source and free software environment for Transmitters. It is used by thousands of hobbyists and developed by volunteers based on user feedback and requests.
Is OpenTX For You?
OpenTX is meant for flyers who know a bit about RC but want advanced features available using a computerized transmitter. It is meant for users who are comfortable with computers, trying new things, willing to research how the system works and troubleshoot problems that may occur.
There are many OpenTX users in forums who are willing to help when needed!
One major advantage of OpenTX is the Companion PC Software which you can download and try before you decide to use OpenTX.
New To RC
Newbies may want to buy a ready to fly (RTF) model and learn how to fly and gain some RC experience before switching to OpenTX.
RTF models come with a basic transmitter that works with the model it came with. Hobbyists usually outgrow this transmitter and buy a second one that is usually computerized. This is the stage at which OpenTX and compatible transmitters become an attractive option.
As a newbie you may still buy an OpenTX transmitter and use the numerous web resources to learn about RC.
Companion For OpenTX PC Software
Companion is the computer application that provides a graphical user interface to:
OpenTX Transmitter Firmware
OpenTX firmware is the software that gets installed on compatible transmitters.
