When President Donald Trump walked away from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and imposed sanctions against the country, the intricate landscape of global trade embargoes became even more complex for multinational companies.
Not only did international businesses have to contend with the resumption of US sanctions, they also had to navigate EU rules that can make it illegal to comply with the American measures, leaving them caught in the geopolitical crossfire.
Ofac is willing to impose large penalties against foreign sanctions violators, as well as inflicting reputational damage, says Prof Early. Ofac also encourages companies to voluntarily disclose violations in exchange for lower penalties.
In navigating all this, multinationals must consider not only where they and their subsidiaries are domiciled and doing business, says Lourdes Catrain, partner at Hogan Lovells. They must also examine the currency of any payments, the country of origin of products, and the identity of the people involved.
US primary sanctions prohibit US companies (including their non-US branches) as well as citizens, green-card holders and non-US entities owned or controlled by US persons, from doing business with Iran and Cuba. But the applicability of US secondary sanctions against Iran and Cuba is more complex, says Ms Catrain, as these apply to any company in the world that wants to do any business in the US.
Most sanctions, in addition to targeting specific sectors, include asset freezes on certain people and entities. Yet Ms Catrain says the EU and US lists of sanctioned persons and entities differ, making compliance particularly complicated for global supply chains.
This tutorial explains how to setup TBS Crossfire for OpenTX radios such as the TX16S. I will also show you how to connect Crossfire receiver to a flight controller and configure it in Betaflight. Tracer is similar to Crossfire when it comes to setup, so most of the steps in this guide also apply.
You can install the Crossfire TX module directly in the external JR module bay on the back of the radio. Insert the module carefully, make sure all the pins go into the sockets of the Crossfire module properly.
Remember that almost all of the pins on the Crossfire receiver can be mapped in software. This means you can configure them to output whatever you want, and so there are more than 1 way to connect your RX to the flight controller.
Crossfire Receiver Binding is very simple (most of the times), you can activate binding mode in the Crossfire LUA script. This LUA script comes with the latest version of EdgeTX and OpenTX, so you DO NOT need to download anything.
According to the Crossfire manual, the Blue and Purple regions should be using 915MHz while the Yellow region should be using 868MHz. For example, US should be using 915MHz while Europe should be using 868MHz.
The dynamic output power option can help mitigate some of the problems mentioned with maximum output power. It dynamically adjusts the output power depending on signal strength. Beware that as soon as you unplug the quad, the transmitter will automatically go to maximum output power, which is not a good idea when you fly with other people who are also using Crossfire.
It depends on if you want lower latency or long distance. 50Hz will have higher latency but gives you way more range because it has higher receiver sensitivity and also uses LORA modulation while 150Hz has lower latency but less range.
If you have been using other radio systems, the first problem you are going to run into is mounting the unusually large receiver antenna. Learn about the different ways of mounting Crossfire antenna and their effects.
LQ and RSSI are the two measurements of how good your radio signal is. I have a detail tutorial explaining how to read LQ and RSSI in Crossfire. In this tutorial I will also explain how to display them on your Betaflight OSD, and setup voice warning in your radio.
Hello,
I would appreciate any input regarding the problem detailed below.
The problem: in betaflight no date at all from the receiver the receiver tabs are blanc.
A friend and me bought a CF module for our Zorro, i got a diversity receiver and he got a pro+normal.
The wireings are good (tx-rx) no shorts, and we stayed with the last official version 2022, no newer betas.
Binding is ok constant green.
On betaflight the corect uart. to make sure i tryed to solder to diferent free ports the the outcome is the same.
In betaflight we chose serial+CRSF.
The outcome is always the same, no data at all from the receiver the receiver tabs are totaly blanc and no option to celect telemetry and rx_failsafe
I try even to create a new model from scratch like you say. But you show an open TX and I got edge tx. So the step that you show is not the same.
I am so sad. Finally I got everything and still I cannot fly my new drone.
Great tutorial. This is probably going to be a stupid question but this is all very new to me having returned to the hobby from a long absense. Is there a way to power the micro RX from a standard RX battery pack? I want to fit it into a fixed wing without a FC. I have the servo header board but it only appears to give 4 channels pin outs, or can one of these be used for power?
Not without some sort of micro processor, as the receiver only takes serial digital signal. In that case it would be easier to just use a flight controller as it would be much more complicated to make your own.
Are you flying FPV? Can you get one of those camera without VBAT display on screen?
If not, maybe do a few test run and see how fast voltage drops, and set up a timer on your radio. I do that on a few of my LOS quads and works pretty well.
Hi, I face an issue with my Crossfire nano RX which only bind (and power up) when connecting to my PC. Every time I unplug the USB cable, the RX lights desappear and the RX powers off.
Do you have any idea of what I can do to fix this ?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Hi Oscar, thanks for all the advice. I have installed the TBS Crossfire Micro TX2 with DJI Air unit. The stick inputs are working but none of the switches are so I cant arm the quad. Any ideas? Many thanks
You can still use the internal Frsky TX module. Just setup different model profiles for different protocols. For example, one profile with disabled External RF and enabled Internal RF, that way you can keep flying with you existing quads.
I have a tracer sixty9, when binding either from agent x, button on back of tx or lua, I get a solid red light on rx after update and binding on tx. If I turn off tx light on rx flashes red. I then cycle power on rx same thing happens. Recent open tax and firmware on micro tx. There are times it flashes red fast after update.
I have no idea how to troubleshoot further and are desperately looking for support. I hope someone can help me further! (Not sure if useful, but attached is the basic config I used with several betaflight firmware versions)
So the wiring diagram is backwards for the new Nano receiver modules. I have it wired the way you have it in your diagram and my Nano receiver heats up real real fast. Looking at the official TBS document, the wiring is different. You should update your photo.
Hallo habe mir die Frsky Horus X10 gekauft und das Tbs Mikro Tx plus Nano Rx Empfnger habe auch alles hin bekommen wie es sein soll der Empfnger ist gebunden habe in der Funke alles eingestellt und in Betaflight genauso aber ich bekomme um fas verrecken keine Knppel Ausschlge oder das ein Schalter angezeigt wird habe auch deinen rar bevolgt und CLI:set serialrx_inverted = OFF eingestellt und gespeichert dennoch null Ausschlge bin mittlerweile am verzweifeln und wei nicht mehr weiter.

I am getting ready to attempt to setup crossfire on my Emax Hawk 5 with the Magnum F4 AIO. I cannot find out which pins have UART on them. Has anyone else attempted this? If so which TX and RX pads have uarts on them?
Hi,
As usual, very informative.
Only thing i can comment on is that TBS as well as Trappy on interviews indicate that you should monitor LQ and not RSSI. (I.E send LQ on one of the receiver channels and preset it on the OSD).
On top in the Taranis the recommend configuring alerts base on calculation of RFMD and LQ (using special function, and logical switches)
What exactly went wrong in 2018? Markets started the year full of optimism. The US economy delivered stellar performance, buoyed by tax cuts, which caused a surge in both growth and corporate earnings. The unemployment rate hit an almost 50-year low.
What proved considerably more disruptive in 2018 was US foreign policy. Undeterred by the threat of higher costs for US consumers and businesses, Washington ramped up trade tensions. It seems that there is considerable political appetite among the US electorate, and as a result both Republicans and Democrats, to reconsider US trading relationships, with China very much at the eye of the storm. This trade aggression hit the Chinese economy at a point when growth was already slowing rapidly in response to tighter policy from Beijing.
The emerging markets have thus endured the double whammy of slowing growth in China and rising borrowing costs as a result of higher US interest rates. Emerging market equities and debt took a significant hit in 2018. Europe has been caught in the crossfire. Although early tensions between the US and EU over auto tariffs have dissipated for now, European demand has been battered by a downturn in global trade.
Centrist politicians are still struggling to head off populist parties. With critical European Parliament elections coming up in May, the risks are rising that Eurosceptic alliances will take a greater share of the vote. In which case, investors may become sceptical about both the longer-term prospects for integration as well as the ability of Brussels to provide meaningful leadership in the next downturn.
Although the eurozone domestic economy in aggregate looks fine for now and wages are rising, ongoing weakness in global trade is likely to deter firms from hiring, in the same way as they are slimming down investment intentions.
