There is not a day that we do not hear from customers that are having binding issues due to the V1 or V2 firmware binding issues. While it is simple for us to explain, the solution can be a bit ugly to incorporate for many users. There must be a better solution? Well, we got tired of waiting for something better.
A Universal ACCST Firmware!
I'd like to share a rather large project that we have been working on at Aloft along with some of the other Service Dealers in Europe and the UK. We have teamed up with an RC guru to develop new receiver firmwares for many of the FrSky ACCST receivers. The goal is a better user experience with the FrSky ACCST protocol products. ALL FrSky transmitters can use ACCST (also known as D16), from the very first Taranis to the current X20 and everything in between.
What can it do?
Receivers with this new firmware will be able to bind to the following:
If you are using V1 in your transmitter the new Universal Firmware mitigates the V1 bug to the point it is of very little concern. Mike has also added some magic to reduce or remove the typical signal swamping that occurs when the transmitter is very close to the transmitter, you know the good old message: "Telemetry lost. Telemetry Found." warnings. Everything else works like you would expect it to. Servos run when you plug them in, Sbus is there, all the normal telemetry, and maybe a couple of tricks that you can turn on via a LUA script on your transmitter.
Is it Ready?
Not just yet, but getting very close to for our first receiver, the X8R. We have several BETA testers helping us to test this firmware around the globe, we want to be very careful and make sure we are checking and confirming everything we can think of.
YES - We have UNI released for a large number of FrSky ACCST receivers now!
Our plan is to have this firmware for all currently available ACCST receivers except for the S6R and S8R as they are far more complex.
What do you think, interested? Let us know your thoughts.

Only for FrSky receivers. Installation on any clone receivers will force the friendly options to be eliminated.
