It's even more convenient to add the WiFi credentials of your local network, so it will be reachable by any device, like a desktop PC without its own WiFi adapter. The configurator automatically detects the new device/receiver and will show a popup to select it as target for flashing.

[@rickster-fpv1818]

It is easier this way because the RX's do not have very far wifi range, and you would need to be right on top of the router in most cases. It is easier to be closer to your lap top or phone.

[@theartandscienceofflight9239]

Thanks for continuing to bring info on ELRS to us!

[@punkrawk89]

Thank you! This helped me figure out a problem and now I can go fly this weekend. Keep the videos coming. You are awesome!

[@bomberaustychunksbruv4119]

I am so impressed with ELRS I wont use any other system now, the EP1 at 10mm x 10mm has basically replaced all my FrSky L9R RX's and they not only out perform them but have telemetry as well!!!. And the L9R is a damn good receiver.

[@MCsCreations]

Thanks, Lee! It's REALLY useful! 😃 It's amazing how ELRS is advancing fast! Amazing system indeed! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@MrVasmikey]

Thx Lee! Great stuff. Interesting thing about the web page; the RX is set to ip 10.0.0.1 My router was also on that iP address. I re-ip’d my router to 172.16.0.1 so the RX page would come up.

[@jwc4520]

Well more neat elrs things. Cool something to play with . Maybe I'll use it vtol just finished printing ...but can I figure it out ...maybe. take care.

[@Sebijr]

Thanks for the video. Is there a transmitter with wheel and not stick for RC car which support ELRS available on the market ?

[@Painless360]

I'm not aware of one as I'm not a big car/truck guy. I'll keep my eyes open!

[@apachesmokemachining6487]

its elrs all the way for me, I even build it in my tinyhawk 2 race. its so small and light it fits perfectly

[@velkrofpv6654]

Same here! Favorite around the house flyer!

[@TechnicallyTom]

One thing to be aware of with this is that the access point name and password are not configurable. You can set it to join your home network but when you are not in range of that network, it will use the same access point name an password. It could be possible for someone to reconfigure your receiver without you knowing if you were working on you quad with the receiver powered on. This should be fixed when v3 of the firmware is released.

[@thomascee]

I was wondering this... So Express LRS uses AETR as the channel order? Does that mean in Edge TX we should set the _Rx channel order_ as AETR? Late bloomer... Still used to the old Futaba, JR, and Hitec's channel arranging orders, and didn't know what my new ELRS and Zorro's should be set at. Thanks!

[@Painless360]

Hi Thomas, AETR has become the standard in lots of parts of the open-source part of the hobby thanks to it becoming the default channel order on lots of flight controllers. You can have the main channels in any order you want but this is the default. Check out my series on ExpressLRS that covers a lot of the basics. Best of luck!

[@mrfpv]

I transfer the file to my phone and connect close up love the elrs

[@youngmangoingwest]

Lee - I expect your channel 5-6 example was on purpose! If you are using a Kopilot you cannot stick with channel 5 since it is a two position switch. So I put my mode control on 6, switch the 5 output on the web page to 6, and all is right with the world.

[@jamesmalone4755]

I am confused about how to change the output. If I change the output of 5 to 6 Aux 2 do I use channel 5 or 6 in the mix page on my TX16S, and which channel do I assign a switch to.? Do I still assign a switch to channel 5 for Aux 1? I need to Arm using channel 5 but don't want to put my Flight Controller into Manual Mode which uses channel 5. I just wish I could get a better understanding of what I am doing in ELRS. I really need a step by step explanation of what to do, and what the effects of all the changes are.

[@youngmangoingwest]

@@jamesmalone4755 what FC are you using, a Kopilot?

[@jamesmalone4755]

@@youngmangoingwest I am using the Flight Controller that comes in the OMP Hobby VMO VTOL. It uses channel 5 PWM out for Manual Mode, channel 6 for Hover and Forward Flight mode.

[@youngmangoingwest]

@@jamesmalone4755 So then you need a 6 channel PWM output ELRS rx. I believe one was just relatively recently released. Think of it this way: your TX sends a number of channels to your RX and they don't really change. So your TX has to have "arm" on "aux1" which is channel 5 over the air. With the kopilot I just set channel 5 out of my tx high - with openTX or edgeTX you can bring up the channel output view and see that 5 is always high. That tells the TX and RX that you are "armed" which turns on some other stuff that you want, the details of which don't matter much. Then program channel 6 on whatever switch you want for hover and forward flight. Now here is the secret sauce, put your manual mode switch on channel *7* within your TX. Put your RX into wifi mode and open its page, and you will see that you can rearrange channels from your TX to appear on physical PWM output channels. There you are going to tell it that PWM output channel 5 should come from the TX channel *7*. Hope that's clear, the only tricky part seems to be getting the RX web page up - once you do that swapping the channels is pretty straight forward. You can use the lua script on the TX to put the RX into wifi mode.

[@jamesmalone4755]

@@youngmangoingwest I think I understand how to do what I need to do. Thank you very much for your response, it was very helpful.

[@MrBumbles2]

so trying to connect ep2 via wifi to cell and transfer with one drive to flash rx and when i select hot spot it says authentication error any idea ??? no chance to even do password have url 10.0.0.1 pulled up and no hot spot. stummped

[@iamtecho]

Would this work with a DJI naza lite fc?

[@Painless360]

Only if it supports CRSF or PWM inputs..

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

1:46 what if it just never goes into WiFi mode, even after waiting a couple of minutes (of course with a radio not connected)?

[@Painless360]

I've never had that here, I'd check the forums.. best of luck

[@ShinyVideoStuff]

Don't forget to mention that ch5, aux1, should be remapped cos ch5 is for arming and only has 2 positions. Set 5 to aux2 or others for increased output range.

[@RSCRaiden]

Zero gains to be had. Use ch5 for arming since only ch1 to 5 is sent in every packet, use the channel positions in the remaining channels for everything else.

[@chainbenwa2713]

you can also change ch 5 to ch6 and have a 3 position switch. Maybe even operate a servo

[@faizalyusof2479]

Is that means I cannot use Ch5 as my second Elevator channel?

[@Rcfishingagadir]

Hi ...can you please tell what to do ....i dont want failesafe mode...i use this receiver for rc boat ...sometimes when i get too far and i lose signal ... the servo that controls the motor just turn on. Thanks

[@Painless360]

Sounds like the failsafe settings on the receiver are wrong. I have a few videos on setting failsafe and my latest video on it will be out soon- kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHi9oKZonMaLhKM

[@Rcfishingagadir]

I have some values like ch1 :1500 I will put all channels on 0 and i will test if the servo turn if i turn off the radio .

[@Painless360]

You need to set the throttle channel to 'zero' (-100 in edgetx) to make sure the motor stops

[@Rcfishingagadir]

@@Painless360 thanks a lot it works like you said it depends on what position the servo turn ...so when i turn the radio off...the servo turn right ...its the position where it stops the motor . So that' s what i want ....if i lose the signal the rc boat stops ....i use it in the ocean...the waves helps to get it back. I use jumper 1000w...and r24 pwm elrs receiver.

[@rahadyanmuhammad271]

Hi I connect my R24D to Matek CRSF to PWM converter The R24D has a solid red LED but the Converter blink blue It seems it already connect with my remote since it has network icon and disappear when I disconect the Receiver But I have a problem. The Servo didn't move even though I toggle the remote *Previously I already binded the RX and TX. I used F405Wing and installed INAV. But the FC is burnt that's why I use PWM converter

[@Painless360]

I've never used a CRSF to PWM converter so not sure if I can help Best wishes for a quick fix...

[@rahadyanmuhammad271]

Hi I made this detail video on my youtube Hopefully anyone can help me to solve those problem kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHaWeoOXa7h4l8ksi=C3xMfCXQkMwHIi8r Thank you so much

[@jimn6sxb644]

Now, if they would just get me 6 full resolution channels at 50hz for all my fixed wing LOS aircraft. I'd switch everything over today.

[@Painless360]

Stay tuned - I'm looking at something on ELRS that may be of interest to fixed wing guys like us..

[@youngmangoingwest]

You can get wide enough now for almost all uses - except *perhaps* pan and tilt - what are you looking to control?

[@reubenhegerty9289]

Does anyone know why the rx requires a password to join its WiFi network?

[@Carter355Z]

Can the receiver transmit telemetry data?

[@Painless360]

It can

[@Carter355Z]

@@Painless360 Would it need a specific type of ESC? Currently the setup I’m running is a BLHeli esc and a taranis qx7 with this receiver.

[@Painless360]

I've only used them with a flight controller, best of luck!

[@craigrjrich]

How is telemetry connected for this?

[@Painless360]

Not sure if I understand. Can you elaborate?

[@craigrjrich]

@@Painless360 Sorry should of explained that better. Currently using s port on a different receiver to get data for the inav lua script so I can pick up various sensors, is this receiver able to do that? :)

[@Painless360]

I see! Two wires for signal,a tx and rx. One sends the rc commands, the other receives telemetry and other stuff.. standard CRSF..
