Most of us are familiar with open-source software, whether it's operating systems, office suites or any of the thousands of other programs. But open-source firmware for R/C transmitters? It may sound a little strange in a world of commercial R/C systems. Well it exists... and it's called 'OpenTx'.
And very soon you're going to hear a lot more about it, as FrSky have adopted OpenTx as the operating system for their forthcoming Taranis.

FrSky Taranis - spiritual successor to the Multiplex 4000?
There's been a lot of interest in the FrSky Taranis recently. In fact it must be one of the most eagerly anticipated R/C system in recent years.
The reasons are not hard to find. First there’s the price - just $175 / £139.99 (Tx only). Second, it offers the kind of capabilities you'd expect to see in a high end set.
It's sure going to ruffle a few feathers over at Futaba and JR, not to mention the boys at Bretten-Gölshausen.
