How to get your old Nomadio Sensor gear to work in 2019

Recommended Posts

Nomadio was a high end TX/RX brand, coming from defense contracting.

About the first to have a  "spectrum" system, and full telemetrie at the hands of -us-

A very popular system by big scale drivers, or the more serieus racers .

( or, people who just loved gadgets )

The set is fully programmable with a pc 

 

In 2009 they stopped making and supporting there Sensor and React sets.  They just moved on.

Or better yet, they went fully back to defense contracting.

 

Now fast forward, in 2019 we have windows 10 , and well.. basically everything below ( vista, 8 .. name it .. )

And , if you, these days try to get your software working.. it will refuse.. bluntly ..  The software will run, but no connection possible.

Linux.. also no go .. and do not even thing about going the apple way.. will not work.

 

Follow the following steps to get your old Nomadio gear working again ( pc controlled )

1) find the oldest pc you can find.. it most likely runs on ME or Vista now, and whipe it. ( else XP will not install )

2) Install Windows XP  SP3  , plenty of iso's to be found.  Or you might have a old cd laying around from the ye old days.

( do not connect to the internet.. just the box, monitor.. keyboard and mouse needed )

3) cry victory , and wheep your eyes on memories of windows XP

- DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR SENSOR YET ! -  whatever you do.. do not... indeed.. plug it in.

4) download the following program:

RCDesktopSetup -3.0.3   ( latest / last nomadio sensor control software.. pay attention, there is also React software, thats not the same pack and won't run on Sensor )

Desktopregistration    ( nomadio gave free all the registrations, this is your "home free" pass..  ) its legal, from Nomadio itself.

5) AND PAY ATTENTION TO THIS

6) a-  Install the RCDesktopSetup  ( the nomadio program ) let it do his thing , and vital .. install those sweet drivers you need.

    b- Run Desktopregistration  ( click and done.. short and sweet )

   c- Run the nomadio software .. BUT DO NOT PLUG IN YET  !!!!

 

7) Plug in your USB cable and turn the Nomadio on ( as requested by the program,  NOT BEFORE )  remember.. only when you get the popup to do it.

8) Windows will wake you up, and says "found new hardware" ..   make it install automatic ( do NOT mess with the Nomadio software yet !!!! )

( it asked me 2 or 3 times , it grabs the drivers the Nomadio software just installed automatically )

9) When windows says "your device is working"   start messing with the Nomadio software ( you might need to change com port , its in settings )

 

10 ) enjoy your memory lane trip, and be able to program / safe / mod your Nomadio Sensor

 

 

 

Took me 3 days to find this out, including installing 2x a failed XP .. ( bricked ) , Linux to unbrick the pc , and insane loads of really , really bad words.

 

In short.. don't bother with other windows versions.. just put XP SP3 on the oldest pc you can find.

And really , really pay attention to the order in when to plug in the cable to the Radio.

Pulled my Nomadio Sensor out of storage it fired up! What are the chances anyone still has the files needed to get the software up and running. I searched the web until my fingers bled. 

RCDesktopSetup -3.0.3   ( latest / last nomadio sensor control software.. pay attention, there is also React software, thats not the same pack and won't run on Sensor )

Desktopregistration    ( nomadio gave free all the registrations, this is your "home free" pass..  ) its legal, from Nomadio itself.
