T16D transmitter with R16F receiver

Product detailed description

T16D is a sixteen-channel transmitter for recreational modelers that allows you to set basic functions such as the size and direction of deflections, and also has a full range of mixes for controlling a wide range of models - motor aerobatic models, gliders, multicopters, cars, ground equipment or boats. It can work with an internal RF part with an FHSS transmission system (the same as in the T8FB/T8S or in the RadioLink R4GS/R6GS/R8X steering wheel transmitters), but also allows the connection of external ELRS or TBS Crossfire long-range RF modules. It is characterized by a practical shape that fits perfectly in the hand with a classic, years-tested ergonomic layout of the controls.

Controls: The main functions are controlled by precise cross controllers with adjustable neutralization spring force and the ability to move the locked throttle axis to the left or right. Thanks to this, you can freely select the operating modes of cross controllers 1-4. Digital trims have audible step and center position signals. They are located slightly eccentrically and are easily accessible. Additional channels can be controlled by two rotary knobs on the front panel and two rotary controls with neutralization on the back of the transmitter; eight switches (three three-position and five two-position) can serve as channel switches or for turning on/off program functions. For easy programming, a pair of buttons and a programming wheel/button and a 2.8-inch color LCD display with a resolution of 320×240 dots are used. The transmitter uses the FreeRTOS operating system.

Transmitter power supply: The T16D allows you to use a variety of different sources for power supply: 8 alkaline or NIMH batteries inserted into the holder supplied with the transmitter, NiMH battery packs with 8 cells (size AA, AA) or two to four cell LiPo, Li-ion sets. It is also possible to power the device from a power bank via the USB-C port.

Transmission system: The T16D uses FHSS frequency hopping transmission, ensuring long range, reliability and immunity to interference. For the internal RF part, three FHSS transmission protocols with different transmission speeds (14 ms for analog servos, 4 or 3 ms for digital servos) can be selected according to the type of RadioLink receiver and servo used. When using a telemetry receiver, it allows the transmission of telemetry from the receiver and also telemetry from the connected RadioLink flight controller. For working with external modules, bidirectional ELRS and CRSF V2 protocols are available.

Software: The T16D offers programs for eight types of models - classic aircraft, gliders/deltas, multicopters, helicopters, cars, ships, tracked vehicles/tanks and robots, while offering the possibility of cooperation with RadioLink controllers for aircraft, drones, vehicles or ships.

• Auxiliary ID: Allows to control multiple models with receivers paired with the transmitter without switching model memories
• 2 timers
• Assignment of switches
• Assignment of sound messages to individual switch positions (you can record your own voice messages to the transmitter announcing e.g. flight modes or landing gear extension and assign them to individual switch positions)
• Voice output of telemetry
• USB-C port for updating the transmitter firmware or controlling the RC simulator on a PC (from version V1.7.1)
• Teacher-student socket for wired connection of 2 RadioLink transmitters

Compatible receivers: RadioLink R12F, R16F, R8FM, R8SM, R8XM, R8FGH, R8FG, R7FG, R6FG, R6F, R6FGM, R4F.
The R16F receiver supplied in the kit allows you to select several channel output modes (16 PWM outputs for classic servos, 15xPWM + S.BUS, 13xPWM+S.BUS+RX/TX CRSF, 14xPWM + RX/TX CRSF) with combinations of PWM outputs for classic. input/output for CRSF. You can easily connect classic servos, S.BUS servos and other devices, control units, etc.

Telemetry:

When using the internal RF part of FHSS and RadioLink telemetry receivers, information about the receiver's supply voltage and RSSI signal strength is available; with the R16F receiver, it is also possible to measure and display the voltage on the transmitter, e.g. drive battery up to 6S LiPo telemetry data from this unit.
When using an external RF module with CRSF protocol and the appropriate receiver, it is possible to display telemetry from this receiver.
