How do I bind a Hummingbird f4 v2

[pale kiln]

I flashed the most recent version of elrs to my TX12 with Edge TX, thinking I could then flash my Newbee Drone hummingbird f4 v2 with the same elrs. I haven't been able to flash the quad and im wondering if im missing something. Also does the hummingbird have a rx compatible with my radio?

[gloomy cliff]

You need to flash the appropriate firmware from NewBeeDrone

Can you type version in the BF CLI and post the output?

https://github.com/newbeedrone/nbd-betaflight/releases/tag/4.3.2-V1.0.0

[pale kiln]

ok thanks! i’ll try it out

[pale kiln]

HUMMINGBIRD_F4_V2_65

thats the version output

Im just not sure now which hex file to flash, or exacly how to flash it, because my fc is not showing up in the targety drop down menu.

[gloomy cliff]

Save a diff, download and flash the hex from here, then restore your diff: https://github.com/newbeedrone/nbd-betaflight/releases/download/4.3.2-V1.0.0/betaflight_4.3.2_HUMMINGBIRD_F4_V2_65_ELRS3_2db416553.hex

[pale kiln]

which hex file should i flash?

[gloomy cliff]

The one I just linked

[pale kiln]

oh sorry yeah i downloaded that

[pale kiln]

yea i tried that a few times

it didnt work

something wrong with the bootloader

and then failing to open serial port

[gloomy cliff]

Can you post a screenshot of the error?

Make sure you have the STM DFU drivers installed

[pale kiln]

oh ok

ig i gotta go to that

[gloomy cliff]

Plug in the FC with the boot button held down, then run the ImpulseRC driver fixer

https://impulserc.blob.core.windows.net/utilities/ImpulseRC_Driver_Fixer.exe

[pale kiln]

alright that worked

that was elrs 3 right?

[gloomy cliff]

Yes

You restored your diff?

Have you set your binding phrase?

https://www.expresslrs.org/3.0/hardware/spi-receivers/#binding-phrase

[pale kiln]

i believe ive set my binding phrase

i went through the elrs website and copied into the cli

[gloomy cliff]

Is it binding to your TX?

[pale kiln]

i dont know how to restore the diff tho

[gloomy cliff]

Copy and paste it into the BF CLI

[pale kiln]

ok cool

ill lyk how it goes

thanks for being patient lmao, im quite new to this if you couldnt already tell

it didnt bind

not sure what i did wrong

[gloomy cliff]

Can you type get expresslrs into the BF CLI and post the output?

And also put your TX into WiFI mode using the ELRS lua and show a screenshot of the webui?

[gloomy cliff]

Did you connect to the ExpressLRS WiFi network?

password expresslrs

[pale kiln]

yes

[gloomy cliff]

Then open a web browser and go to http://10.0.0.1

What binding phrase did you flash your TX with?

Your RX does not look to have a binding phrase set

[pale kiln]

i copied it from the elrs command it gave me

[gloomy cliff]

What is your binding phrase?

[pale kiln]

the thing it gave me or what i put in

oh hol up

i just redid the binding phrase set up

and it did sum new

ok it bound finally

not arming tho

dont i have to configure all the swityches and stuff in betaflight

[gloomy cliff]

Do you have your mode switches setup?

Yes

[pale kiln]

ill go try that and lyk how it goes

[gloomy cliff]

https://www.expresslrs.org/3.0/quick-start/pre-1stflight/

See here for how to setup modes

How to setup Aux switches on your radio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF_dVYIQA5Y

[pale kiln]

ill check that out

[pale kiln]

not sure what im doing wrong now

but when i went to the mixer

the first 12 channels already had switches assigned

and when i go into betaflight with everything bound and check the receiever, none of the sitches or throttles are doing anything

but aux 12 is fluctuating

[pale kiln]

this is how it looks

not sure what do do

all i know is that this is one of the pre installed models on my tx

when i tried using a created one, the elrs lua wouldnt come up even afterre downloading it

[gloomy cliff]

Does your TX have ELRS internal, or do you have an external ELRS module?

Are the sticks on your radio calibrated?

SYS -> Hardware -> Calibration

[pale kiln]

internal, i made sure external was off, and internal was set to crsf

[pale kiln]

i’ll calibrate them now

except there was no input to beta flight

ik u can’t tell in the vid i sent but i was moving the sticks

[gloomy cliff]

If the sticks aren't calibrated you wouldn't get any input

[pale kiln]

ah ok

[pale kiln]

it seems to be doing the same thing i’m beta flight

in*

[gloomy cliff]

Can you go to the channel map tab on your radio (main screen, page over until it shows Ch1-8) and see if moving the sticks is reflected there?

[pale kiln]

yes all channels are reflected+ the 1 aux i tried to set up

[gloomy cliff]

And the values there move when you move the sticks and flip aux switches?

[pale kiln]

yes

[gloomy cliff]

Can you load the ELRS lua and show the last line?

[pale kiln]

on the radio?

[gloomy cliff]

Yes

[pale kiln]

ok

[gloomy cliff]

Turn model match off

And turn VTX Admin OFF

Set Band to OFF

Then scroll to the bottom and take a picture of the last line

[pale kiln]

i’m not sure if the vtx admin is totally off or not, i turned off band and pit mode tho

[gloomy cliff]

Was that screenshot from before or after you turned it off?

[pale kiln]

after

[gloomy cliff]

It's still on

Select VTX Admin, Select band, then Change it to Off

[pale kiln]

band is off

[gloomy cliff]

It shouldn't say R:8

See if you get movement on the receiver tab

Back in a bit

[pale kiln]

i got movement

thanks so much for all ur help so far tho

ik it’s what the servers for but its honestly been so nice to have someone help me through this

[gloomy cliff]

Everything working now?

[pale kiln]

everything was, but then the arm switch stopped working

i might have messed it up

i won’t be able to try again until later today rho

[pale kiln]

i’m not sure what im doing wrong but everything’s bound and beta flights picking up all the inputs, it’s just not picking up the arm anymore and the quad isn’t arming either

[gloomy cliff]

Connect to Betaflight and see what arming disable flags are shown, either on the right side or by typing status in the CLI and showing the output. Are any warnings shown on the OSD in your goggles?

[pale kiln]

gonna check rn

it says CLI MSP ARMSWITCH when armes

armed

and nothing comes up in the goggles, but the horizon switch works

and when the horizon mode switch is disarmed, it says air in the goggles

[gloomy cliff]

If you set the arm switch do disarm what is shown?

[pale kiln]

CLI MSP NO_ACC_CAL

im guessing thats accelerometer calibration

[gloomy cliff]

Yes, connect to Betaflight, hold the quad level, then click calibrate accelerometer

[pale kiln]

does it matter if its not 100% level, because i have to hold it since the usb port is on the bottom

[gloomy cliff]

Just get it close, it affects how level it will be in angle/horizon mode

You can adjust it with stick commands afterwards if it's drifting

[pale kiln]

ok i did that, the arm switch seems to be working in beta flight now

it works!!!!!!!

thanks you so so much

ur a life saver!

can i lyk here if more problems occur?

[gloomy cliff]

Sure

[pale kiln]

ok thanks
