Radiomaster TX16S Works Perfect

[Darkstar]

Just in case anyone was curious about this, the Radiomaster TX16S works perfect with Liftoff from Linux. The USB-C connector beside the antenna makes it really convenient for SIM connection too.

Hi, I gave very big trouble because my TX16s is not enumerated by my pc. I am using Debian 11 with 5.14 kernel. What are you using? Can you send me any info related the driver and the kernel?

Manjaro, and nothing special installed. You can install GTK JSTest to check it, but you should start with checking what it's showing up as with lsusb from a terminal. When I connect it to my PC (top USB port, not the bottom), the radio asks me how I want to connect it. I select the joystick option. From there, it just works. Mine shows up as this in lsusb:

Bus 003 Device 058: ID 1209:4f54 Generic RM TX16S Joystick

If you're not getting something similar, you may not be using a data USB cable, not have the radio in joystick mode, or are plugging it into the wrong USB port on the radio. I do suggest you switch to EdgeTX, which makes everything just better, including latency in joystick mode.
