Identifying mistakes
There is no ‘Undo’ button in OpenTx. Fortunately, it’s easy to identify mistakes, using the
COMPARE FILES
menu in
Companion. Follow these steps:
1
Start Companion
2
Open the (unedited) .eepe file
3
Open your working EEPROM
4
Open the
COMPARE FILES
window, then drag the corresponding models into it. Compare files generates a list
of differences, and any errors should be easy to spot.

Making your own modifications
Before making your own modifications, please study the Excel documentation carefully and make sure you
understand the implications. The recommended workflow is:
1
Setup your model first, as described in this guide
2
Backup your work
3
Apply your modifications incrementally, testing and backing up as you go along.

Safety/disclaimer
Pretty obvious really, but worth repeating: although this setup is well tested,
it’s up to the pilot to make sure that
the controls respond correctly under all conditions.
The author is not responsible for any consequences arising from
errors in the .EEPE file or documentation.
Remember to test your setup carefully:
- before first flight
- after any modifications!
