Description

BETAFPV Micro RF TX module is based on the ExpressLRS project, an open-source RC link for RC applications. ExpressLRS aims to achieve the best possible link performance in both speeds, latency, and range. This makes ExpressLRS one of the fastest RC links available while still offering long-range performance.

BETAFPV Micro RF TX module is compatible with radio transmitter which has the micro module bay (AKA JR/SLIM module bay, e.g. Frsky Taranis X9D、TBS Mambo).

ABOUT THE FIRMWARE

The ExpressLRS offical project on Github does NOT support the OLED function for the moment. BETAFPV team will work with the ELRS team and make the offical repository support the OLED and button function ASAP.

Please get the firmware from BETAFPV Github nowadays until ExpressLRS offical support. In BETAFPV branch, the ExpressLRS protocol is V1.1.0 and NO binding phrase for the firmware.

User manual of How to Flash Firmware of ELRS RX/TX.

How do I set a binding phrase on this Micro TX module when the ELRS offical mainstream does not support OLED yet?

First, download the source code of master-betafpv-oled-menu branch to local from Github.

Second, open the ExpressLRS Configurator and load the upzip source code from local. Select the target device “BETAFPV 900/2400 TX Micro”. Now, you could setup your own binding phrase and other options as normal.

Third, build & flash.

KNOW MORE ABOUT EXPRESSLRS

ExpressLRS is an open-source RC link for RC applications. Everyone could find this project on Github or join the discussion in Facebook Group.

ExpressLRS, an open-source RC link on Github, utilizes Semtech Lora SX127x/SX1280 hardware for optimal speed, latency, and range. With a 200Hz packet rate at 900 MHz and an impressive 500Hz at 2.4 GHz, it’s among the fastest RC links. Supported by various vendors, including BETAFPV, it’s integrated into transmitters, drones, and modules, expanding its reach in the RC community.

BUTTON AND OLED

The ELRS TX module could be configured via the OpenTX LUA script. With OLED and button, no-OpenTX radio controller that supports CRSF could use this ELRS Micro module easily. The following no-OpenTX radio controllers work well with this TX module. Futaba T16IZ, T16SZ and T18SZ (with update to 3.9e), Wsky ET16, Radiolink AT9S Pro.

There is a 5D button on the micro module. Pay attention only the virtical dimention works and the other four dimentions are invalid. Below is the basic operation of the button and OLED.

BASIC CONFIGURATION

ExpressLRS uses the Crossfire serial protocol (AKA CRSF protocol) to communicate between the radio transmitter and the TX module. So make sure your radio transmitter supports the CRSF serial protocol. We use the radio transmitter with the OpenTX system to show how to set up the CRSF protocol and LUA script. To set this up, in the OpenTX system, enter into model settings, and on the “MODEL SETUP” tab, turn off the “Internal RF”. Next, enable “External RF” and select “CRSF” as the protocol.

ExpressLRS use the OpenTX LUA script to control the TX module, like bind or setup. With the LUA script, pilots could check, and set up some configurations of the Nano RF TX module. For more details, please check the Support Page.

  • Save the ELRS.lua script files onto the radio transmitter’s SD Card in the Scripts/Tools folder;
  • Long press the “SYS” button (for RadioMaster T16 or similar radios) or the “Menu” button (for Frsky Taranis X9D or similar radios) to access the Tools Menu where you can find ELRS script ready to run with only one click;
  • The below image show, the LUA script run successfully;

BIND & OUTPUT POWER

The Micro RF TX module comes with offically major release V1.1.0 protocol and no Binding Phrase inlcuded. So please make sure the receiver works on offically major release V1.0.0~V1.1.0 protocol. And no Binding Phrase setted. Micro RF TX module could enter binding status via ELRS.lua script, as description in “LUA Script” chapter. Besides, using the button and OLED, move to the BIND position and long press the button. Then the RF module will enter binding status.
