Hello Everyone! Thank you for subscribing to my channel and giving your support and feedback! Here I finally put together a how to for absolute beginners in understanding ExpressLRS setup. Hopefully it helps someone.... Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@Smagsfpv]

Thank you 🙌 🍻

[@jagadishkumarmr1067]

Hey, This video was really helpful!! I was just handed a Radiomaster Zorro with an external HappyModel modules and I didnt know how everything worked. It was so frutrating. Now I understand why Lua script is necessary and why the firmwares are necessary. Thanks a lot! Really helps for my project!

[@propsoff]

I appreciate your encouragement and feedback. I'm glad it helped. I have added 2 livestreams with more information you may be interested in...🍻

[@albertdrew7235]

The Boxer has Edge TX, building the LUA script in in Express LRS..

[@davidlee50]

Reminds me of the old switchboard operator that connected phones between customers.

[@toddsanford7757]

ok, followed all the steps here and went from a elrs brick to a whoop that is bound and getting stick movement in beta flight. THANKYOU so much for this video and the help you gave me on FaceBook. I really want to donate to your page. or patreon. im just ready to go figure out how to setup the betaflight part and get my moving stick assigned to the right controll.

[@propsoff]

I appreciate your support and feedback.. I have a "Get in the air" video that goes through Betaflight...🍻

[@propsoff]

I just seen the notification, thank you! Very generous of you...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@propsoff]

What the heck are you doing up...😳 I just wrapped up this massive edit and too tired to edit my XmasRippy... But I'll be watching yours soon...🍻

[@marinehm]

I just recently updated the firmware on all my Rx’s and Tx. For the longest, I couldn’t figure out why some Channels were missing and I could not go past 250mw on my Tx. Long story short: make sure you select the right hardware in the configurator when building the firmware!

[@propsoff]

That sucks, but glad you got it figured out...🍻

[@propsoff]

What TX module do you prefer?

[@Mupshot]

I have never found ELRS difficult, but I had started with Frsky plugged into my radio to flash. Aside from no silk screening on several boards. I just always bought HM EP1 and EP2 until radiomaster started to make them. Or at least put their name on them, I assume HM makes them for Radiomaster. I always look for the jump pad to identify the ground. The only issue I ever had was flashing 3.x to all the 2.x receivers in my fleet. accounting for the flash size difference, 4 out of 12 needed to be flashed using passthrough (2) or an FTDI (2). but yeah, that was a PITA, but still better than FRSKY for your diamond board with SPI, you must not be on BF 4.3 which has the ELRS 3.0 built in.

[@propsoff]

I read the Elrs website several times and muddled through the process the first time. But yeah, it simple stuff after that.. I will have to look at my Diamond, I'm pretty sure it's on 4.3...🤔

[@propsoff]

Also, the boards without silkscreening are 🤬...🤣

[@Smagsfpv]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make stuff like this, it means alot to people like me trying to learn 🙌🙏

[@propsoff]

I appreciate your feedback and encouragement.. I'm literally sitting here at 2:45a.m. making a Short, thinking, "what am I doing?".... Your feedback stokes the passion...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

@@propsoff im sitting her at 2:46 am watching your video so i can use my new zorro max. 😎 great stuff

[@albertdrew7235]

This video really helped me with my Boxer, where other videos missing key inputs. Thanks. Have a different subject question about myMG90S sevro. It rotates 180 degrees when pluged in. Is there a setting just to get 90 Degrees right & left movements? Thanks

[@propsoff]

I appreciate your feedback.. Yes, you can. Change the weights of that channel...🍻

[@ttaylor9916]

great stuff.. but you mention another video you did, but no link, and cant find it...

[@propsoff]

Morning, Lost my settings / ELRS being seen , have a issue with my Boxer not seeing the new "LAU" script. Its stilling showing factory "2.8.0" factory. I cannot even open the "ELRS". Not sure what I am missing. Have reflashes the setting several times 3.3 Thanks

[@propsoff]

2.8.0 , isn't that the OpenTX firmware?

[@propsoff]

Is it just saying, "Loading"?

[@trev.productions]

yoo what stick ends are there on your controller?

[@propsoff]

Those are a design called GrizzlePuffs, I helped with.. you can get them custom printed by Mark McCollum.. Just PM him on Facebook Messenger...🍻 facebook.com/share/iQAbfmGYBN47wYdf/?mibextid=qi2Omg

[@Mupshot]

I should learn not to comment while Im watching. do you create a model for each quad? I never use model match. I understand why you do. but it all depends on if you are prone to plugging in multiple quads at once, but I suppose if your are at a race or conducting a class. Im super paranoid of plugging in, like Ill forget and trash my battery, so I always unplug, and always use the same model for my entire fleet.

[@propsoff]

No, I have all my sized classes on one model (all my 5inch racers on one).. I've accidentally plugged 2 quads in at a race after a crash. It's sorta scary, really, lol...

[@marinehm]

I use model match for this reason: I have 5 quads 2” Freestyle , 2.5” Cinewhoop, 3”, 5” freestyle , 7” Cruiser/ semi-long-range. Now if I had just 5 5” quads then, no, I would not be using model match.

[@propsoff]

@@marinehm Do elaborate... You wouldn't use model match?
