Faster ExpressLRS connection with INIT_RATE

[@Metzgee]

Sum up Bardwells video: turn on radio tx, and power receiver, connect, select packet rate you want to be at, switch to a different packet rate, go back to the desired packet rate. Power off and on receiver, should connect instantly to radio transmitter. Receiver remembers the packet rate if you change it.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

... but only if you're on ELRS 3.4. Otherwise, there is a Lua script option that I didn't show.

[@kolschejung4465]

@@JoshuaBardwell then show us how please

[@pfeerick]

@@kolschejung4465 Pre 3.4, you went into the ExpressLRS Lua, Other Devices, pick your receiver, and then you would set the init packet rate there.

[@pfeerick]

​@@kolschejung4465 Pre 3.4.0, you would use the ExpressLRS Lua, go to the Other Devices at the bottom, select your receiver, and then use the "Init Rate" option.

nice. i was wondering why it was taking so long to connect lately. i must have changed my packet rate with the quad powered off. thank you.

[@CapnBry]

I say "thank you" a lot, but I'm so appreciative for you making this video showing how terrible it can be to wait for a connection and the simple way to fix it without digging into the receiver lua. I've pointed so many people to that docs page, now I can point them to this. I'm sorry it is very unintuitive, everyone, but we just can't save settings without dropping the connection! 😖Hopefully this new iteration makes it slightly less painful. It saves any the receiver disconnects, including when you switch rates in the lua.

[@jeromemarie4770]

Enough is enough! evrytime I ask myself a question you already have answered it, make an very intelligible video about it and covered all there is to know. And much more. Mr Bardwell you have left me no other choice than to subscribe. Thanks a lot for your videos getting into that hobby on the cheap side would have been almost mipossible without you.

[@jerryleeklr]

Joshua Bardwell you are an incredible wealth of knowledge and worth every penny of my Patreon subscription.

[@awerks12]

I don't know why they would overcomplicate this. The previous implementation was simple and easy.

[@KidCe.]

You can also just go into the "other devices" tab in the elrs lua, there you can set the init rate manually

[@JoshuaBardwell]

No, you can't. Because in 3.4 they removed that feature and made it automatic. As I document in this video.

Are you doing an itsfpv ERA frame review? 👀

[@АндрійАлєксєєв-п3з]

too expensive for nothing new

[@marlin-fpv]

@@АндрійАлєксєєв-п3з You obviously have no idea. The frame comes with an injection molded nylon cam mount which is pretty much indestructable and protects the cam/lens as good as it can be.

[@awerks12]

@@marlin-fpv what's the problem with metal cages? Literally no one needs something that's worse but much expensive.

[@TheHillsHaveFPV]

im so tired of f'new' frames that have zero actual innovation. I'm slightly interested in Chris Rosser's frame due to its FC vibration isolation slots, but other than that, i can't think of a single interesting frame.

[@FREEDOMFPV84]

I seen this in a video way earlier you made I have it right on the packet rate it is it takes not even 1 sec super fast thank you now is there a way to do that with the 03 airunit and goggles 2 that takes like 30 sec to a min to connect thank you for this its great

[@aowi7280]

great timing. I was wondering why my new quad took 12 seconds to connect (beeping the whole time).

[@jialinsun6022]

Thank you, Joshua. Does the way set the receiver also work for SPI one like X12 FC?

[@SanneBerkhuizen]

Ohhhh, that fixed a problem I didn't know I had.

[@Nupid_Stoob]

"Oi, this gonna make me quad faster, innit?"

[@KcCake]

I was wondering why (if it was only me) having this issue at a higher packet rate on the mob6 24

[@MaxMorfiX]

How can this be done if you don't have a lua script? I have betafpv literadio and you can't run them on it (or I don't know how).

[@crezzlin]

And i thought i had a faulty setup :) Thanks JB..

[@ImperialArmour]

Why land now @ 3.02v? whats the story behind the tat Bardwell

[@andrewtaylor5103]

Does this replace that method of going into the "Other devices" menu? (which doesn't always appear in the lua - but that's another question for another day)

[@Levitandomx]

Unralated but does someone knows if its safe to check cell voltage just by pluggin only the balance lead to the charger?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Yes it's safe.

[@brianmininger9281]

Can we a vtx version of this video?? I feel like my goggles take to long to show me an image

[@felipejose3321]

I'm in trouble up to my neck: I formatted my sdcard and didn't save the settings. I updated my radio to the latest version v2.10.3 and updated the sd card with the same version, but the IBUS and SBUS protocols no longer work as they did before. The protocols don't seem to work, but I can't load the files. The expresslrs tab and the lua script folder don't load either. I hope someone can help me solve this. I'm using a master boxer radio, an external 2.4G EMAX lrs module, a 2.4g nammino rx. I'd be very grateful if you could help me.

I'm still trying to figure out how to set my output power to dynamic so I'm not always pumping 1 watt from my module

[@William_NS]

Go to ELRS LUA on your radio, then to TX Power,Then set max power to 1000mW next line down should say Dynamic. Highlight that and scroll it to DYN and exit out.

[@salleslucas]

Interesting, mine is so fast, I think it's like 5 seconds. Bayck elrs 2.4ghz nano expresslrs paired with TX12 MK II

[@pfeerick]

That will purely be dependent on what packet rate you are using... some packet rates, i.e. the older ones, are the quickest to connect, as they are earlier in the list of packet rates to try when having to auto detect.

[@salleslucas]

Nice, thanks for explaining! That makes sense.

[@Krash_fpv]

It takes me 10 seconds after I plug in to strap my wire under my battery strap and set it down and make sure my goggles feed is good before I arm

Yeah I read the documentation years ago.
