turbid marsh
module is on v 3.2.0
elrs3 lua is installed
tango is on v 6.19, freedom tx on 1.3.0
my binding procedure:
the meteor65 has a serial reciever so i start the bind sequence (3times fast plug in/out battery), the quad shows me hes in bind mode..
when i start the bind process on the elrs lua it says binding for 1or2 seconds,then stopps ..
what am i doing wrong?
regards simon
tired rain
Flash the receiver via Betaflight Passthrough, and set Binding phrase
turbid marsh
how do o do this?
tired rain
Follow the instructions here, but select the BetaFPV AIO 2400 RX target

get this failure when i try it..

Do you have Betaflight open when you are trying to flash?
Either you don't have the drivers installed or you have something else open using the COM port
turbid marsh
no,but i zry to shut everything down and try it again.. flashing thr tx module worked..i assume it needs the same drivers?
tired rain
No, TX module uses different drivers
turbid marsh
that could be the reason.. do you mind,showing me where to get them?
tired rain
Can you connect to Betaflight?
turbid marsh
yes i do
tired rain
Then you have the drivers installed
Make sure Betaflight is closed before trying to flash with ELRS though
turbid marsh
no i didnt started bf at all
tired rain
Do you have anything else open that could be using the COM ports? EdgeTX Configurator? Cura?
turbid marsh
no,nothing.. fredgly restarted,opened the configurator and tried to flash
tired rain
Unplug/replug USB and try again
turbid marsh
same result..i even tried another cable and usb cable and port..
tired rain
Can you post the new log?
In the last log you posted ELRS Configurator wasn't able to connect to anything
Which if Betaflight is working it should at least be able to talk to the FC
turbid marsh
tired rain
What serial port are you selecting in ELRS Configurator?
turbid marsh
nothing on myself
tired rain
You need to select the correct COM port. Check Betaflight to see what it's connecting to, then close Betaflight and select the same COM port in ELRS Configurator
turbid marsh
did it as said, entered manualy com3 in elrs configurator...

What is the receiver LED doing?

Hello, another newbie here.. I've assembled the tbs tango elrs module and flashed to the latest firmware. I soldered a radiomaster RP3 Receiver on the quad. I am unable to bind the controller to the quad. Please let me know what I'm missing. I long press menu and select "expressLRS" and go down to bind and it attempts to do it for 2 seconds then stops. I've gone to TBS Agent Lite and the same thing happens.

Connect to your transmitter's or receiver's WiFi network to access the web UI:
tired rain
Can you post the screenshots?
onyx spruce
as soon as I hit save and reboot the window closed. I'll connect again to it and take a screen shot
onyx spruce
TX screenshots
tired rain
Looks good. Can you show a screenshot of the ELRS lua on your radio?
onyx spruce
lua script?
tired rain
Yes
onyx spruce
i downloaded it just now from the configurator and loaded it on the TX.
I'm not sure how to get the file from the tx as a screen shot. i assume its through the same as before?
tired rain
Copy the lua to the scripts/tools folder on your sd card, then run the lua and show a screenshot on your radio
onyx spruce
how do I show you a screen shot of my radio? I see 3 options when pressing the menu button. betaflight, tbs agent lite, and expresslrs
i selected expresslrs and can provide a picture of what I see on the screen.
tired rain
Yes, that is what I am asking for
onyx spruce
tired rain
Lower your telemetry power and packet rate
onyx spruce
to what values?
onyx spruce
done
tired rain
Can you show a new screenshot?
onyx spruce
the max power is 1000mW. I select the lowest 25mW and it keeps reseting back to 1000 max
same with packet rate.. .it keeps switching back to 500hz
sending you the screen shots
tired rain
The radio can't communicate with the module reliably for some reason
Reflash the module again via USB
onyx spruce
ok. completed
tired rain
Can you load the lua now and take a screenshot?
Try to change packet rate and TX power as well
onyx spruce
this time it worked. i've changed it to 250hz and tx power to 25mW
you still want pics?
tired rain
What does the top line show?
onyx spruce
HM ES24TZX Pro. 0/250
packet rate 250hz(-108dbs)
telem ratio 1:128
switch mode hybrid
model match off
TX power 25mW
tired rain
Can you put the TX and RX into WiFi mode again and confirm the UIDs are the same?
tired rain
Ok. Power everything down, power on TX, then power on RX. They should connect
onyx spruce
both powered back on. the RX has a solid red light
the TX module has solid blue
the tbs tango has the yellow light on the front
tired rain
Does the ELRS lua show a C in the top right corner?
onyx spruce
i still have the dip switches in flashing mode. ive changed the now
powering off and back on again
tired rain
That's fine, they only control whether the TX module or backpack are connected to the USB chip or to eachother
tired rain
You are connected
tired rain
Movement on the receiver tab in Betaflight?
onyx spruce
i'll go check that out now.
yes. its communicating. i just need to reconfigure the channels
roll is throttle... etc
onyx spruce
is it not able to go up in power? 1000mW or higher packet rate? are those just not necessary
tired rain
Can't go above 250Hz packet rate with that radio
onyx spruce
thanks. its configured correctly with TAER
tired rain
The Tango II also probably can't provide enough power to go up to 1000mW unless you've done the battery mod, but even then you'll just kill your battery
You should never need more than 100mW in most cases
You can set TX power to 100mW and enable dynamic power
onyx spruce
it was able to using just crossfire
tired rain
I don't think it can deliver enough power to an external module though. They make a special battery adapter thing for the Tango to power external modules
onyx spruce
for another quad. my biggest issues have been losing quads randomly on the returns. they make it out far enough.. then i turn back and gps rescue hasn't been working for me.
tired rain
On the quad
onyx spruce
i should have been more specific. the drones i've lost were using dji 03 air unit, and Crossfire at 150hz lock.
this is the first using expresslrs
tired rain
Ideally you want both TX and RX antennas mounted vertically, with the antenna on the quad as high as possible so it is not shadowed by the battery or frame
onyx spruce
so hoping i don't lose another quad when i still have VTX
tired rain
Here are some good examples: #spam-zone message
tired rain
Horizontal mounting is convenient, but bad for range as you can't avoid the antenna nulls
!antenna
onyx spruce
tired rain
Yeah, not ideal
onyx spruce
tired rain
For a quad that size get a BetaFPV SuperD or HappyModel EP1 Dual TCXO, a 2.4GHz Bardpole, and a standard dipole. Mount the bardpole vertically up high on the back like in that link I sent
onyx spruce
ok

What is the receiver LED doing?
ots solid.. i press the button while plugging in..light is solid the hole time

Follow the procedure on the BetaFPV website to put the receiver into Bootloader mode and reflash: https://betafpv.com/collections/brushless-flight-controller/products/f4-1s-5a-aio-brushless-flight-controller-elrs-2-4g
Turn off telemetry in the Betaflight configurator.
Power cycle, while holding the Boot button to put the ELRS receiver into the bootloader.
Open the Betaflight configurator, exit DFU mode, and make sure the Betaflight is disconnected from the flight controller.
Choose target "BETAFPV AIO 2400 RX". Flash using the Passthrough option in ExpressLRS Configurator.
turbid marsh
is telemetry on by default? if yes,where can i change that?
other than this,same result..
what about flashing and binding over wlan,or isnt this possible? the quad is fresh,oit of the box and never flown
