so clean how you solder all the wire i give you score a perfect 10"

[@scottburns5049]

He guys get good solder with Flux in it. Makes it a lot easier. Quality soldering iron is crucial, also no one ever mention temp 300 to 350 degrees

[@greyarea7689]

Celsius ?

[@scottburns5049]

@@greyarea7689 Fahrenheit

[@Kleinage]

@@greyarea7689yes, Celsius. Bardwell does talk about temperature as do several other tutorials. Personally I solder quite a bit hotter, 375 c minimum usually, often 385 up to 400 or even 425 for really big stuff, but timing gets very important. The three variables are time, temperature, and the transfer medium (tip size and shape on the iron), along with type of solder used and the flux.

actual installation demo. Thanks

Thank you, great tutorial as always and I found it (as I am already subscribed)right when I need it, going to try and wire up an EP 2 this weekend!, just been learning soldering on a practice board and making the big leap to building my own from scratch 😃🙂 thanks for the tips and being an inspiration 🏆🥂🍾😋

Help me solder a PWM adapter to an expresslrs BR3 915hgz receiver, please! 😢 I can't find anyone doing this anywhere...

[@debaser3000]

Thanks so much for making this in response to my question Darren! What a great video, gives me confidence to solder my receiver up now.

[@DarrenAllatt]

Glad it helps and that’s kind of the idea I am going for with QOD - Question of the Day!

[@ẋero244hz]

dude when i finished soldering it all up when i put power to it with my battery it doesn’t send power to my flight controller idk what to do

[@bestfield372]

Super video nice to follow. I ordered foxwoop 25 vista with no receiver was going to go all digital but getting TX12 controlled can u suggest a receiver to buy so I can follow your video Thanks.

Dear Sir Is ExpressLRS RX24T 2.4G Receiver compatible with Flysky Fsi4 transmitter

[@DarrenAllatt]

No

[@CarlosRodriguez-vg2ob]

What is the size of the wire, is it 16 awg or 22….. also what size heatshrink do you use to protect the receiver?

[@DarrenAllatt]

26awg

[@josecabrera5632]

Is the only way to set up the receiver through the flight controller? I mean, I want to test my receiver without doing any soldering, first.

[@DarrenAllatt]

How are you going to test it? It needs to be powered, so you will have to solder the 5v and GND pad somewhere Then how will you update it to ensure it works.

[@markgiles8527]

so expresslrs can't be used with a dji naza m v2? S + & - connections only???

[@DarrenAllatt]

DJI is a video link ELRS is a radio link. They are separate

[@Indonesia01ian]

I cannot update my Matek R24D firmware in ExpressLRS configurator "FC Found in COM 6 Connecting......" Then build error I also tried using expresslrs webflasher Cannot detect RX Target, blindly flashing I kept trying using Speedybee App Compilation failed Do you have any sugesstion? I really need your help Thanks

Can you still is ELRS without crossfire?

[@DarrenAllatt]

What do you mean?

[@markmontreal7815]

The FC on my Reptile Cloud cinewhoop has the T2 pad on different side of other 3 pads (gnd,5,R2), is that normal? I haven’t flown the whoop yet, but I think it might be an important question lol

[@gadgetman404]

Thank you

[@karlc9773]

How do you change from xm+ to elrs, my xm+ only has 3 wires elrs uses 4 ?

[@DarrenAllatt]

You wire it to a Uart and not to a SBUS pad, although you can use espressLRS with 3 wires

[@karlc9773]

@@DarrenAllatt how do you use 3 wires ?

[@DarrenAllatt]

Flash it for sbus

Can mix match beta fpv 2.4 GHz module with happy model reaciever cheers

[@salihimere2989]

Hello, I think your video is super good. I have a HappyModel EP1 ExpressLRS 2.4GHz receiver and would like to set the VTX table in Bethaflight, but it cannot find it. what should I do?

[@DarrenAllatt]

What do you mean? Are you using the BF Lua Script on your radio to set VTX? The VTX and VTX table are completely seperate to the receiver.

[@armandor.calderong.9135]

Good video. Which is the AWG of the wire you are using? 30 AWG is good enough for this kind of job?

[@DarrenAllatt]

30 is fine. I use 26

[@markmontreal7815]

Also I was more interested in seeing the pp get soldered

[@sdover0123]

Great little vid, only thing you didn't note was how hot you run the iron. Might help the beginners (like me 😉)

[@DarrenAllatt]

Yes fair point. I had that in when filming. Must have cut it. I use 400 degrees Celsius

[@1337plans]

Awesome video Darren!!!!!

Multi strand. Silicone covered
