Its funny how different people have different experiences with ExpresLrs binding. Personally I LOVE the binding phrase method. I have lots of quads and they all work seamlessly with both my transmitter controllers. So much better and easier than back in the day when I had to struggle with the FlySky and FRSky receivers and all their peculiarities.

Im at a loss... who finds elrs binding complicated? 😅 In Fact, you dont even need to bind elrs receivers, theyre bound by itself. Flash latest Firmware with bind phrase and all done. IN FACT the flashing procedure is easier than any other protocol out there 😂 I really dont get it. I personally find bind buttons much more complicated, which button first? What does it do when what happens? Beeping? Did it already bind? Elrs is just simple, straight forward and logical as it is.

Personally I’ll never use the bind button as I think the bind phrase is the future and actually easier especially if you have multiple drones you’ll build and can just flash the phrase over wifi. But I’m glad they are catering for everyone else who wants to do things the familiar way 😎
@Superminaren 5 ай бұрын
Thanks for a great video! Using the button for other features like Flashing, WiFi-mode, etc makes more sense than binding phrases in my opinion. Setting a binding phrase is so much easier to do while the quad is on the bench, and prevents fumbling with binding in the field. But yeah, it's great to know that the feature is available, and that the receiver takes the binding phrase afterwards! :)

I'm wondering if my replacement is the brand that is reliable. It's the hardware that is funky and the process just makes more hoops to jump through.

I was into RC cars for many years, binding button was all we had with simple electronics. When I got my first quad about a year ago, i took me all of 5 mins to open a browser and figure out how to do the whole bind phrase. I remember thinking at the time how revolutionary the bind phrase and Wifi configuration was, so many possibilities compared to being limited to the interface of a simple bind button. People think they want a bind button, but in the end it's just going to add more adoption roadblocks. in my humble opinion ofcourse :)

Why you ask? Because I can't frigging get the crossfire receivers to bind and, if they do, either the lua options or the telemetry range ducks on some with the new firmware and same settings, but not all receivers, just the ones that I look in the eye. Does crossfire just work? Not any more.

If you want the best goggles go get yourself DJI goggles 2 as of now. Easy to setup, easy bind, best video feed hands down and you can skip configuring an ELRS/Crossfire rx cuz it comes with one (but I do recommend installing one of the 2 I mention cuz I’ve had my signal drop randomly from the built-in rx in the DJI air units).

Hi Joshua, not sure about the value of that additional functionality... putting a binding phrase via the configurator or gui is pretty streight forward. Not sure why there is confusion about it. Easily done and no fiddleling around in a quad where the receiver might be not accessible easily. You do it once to all your quads/receivers and that's it... not sure who might have the need to update /change it once set.

Yeah, see, that’s the problem with ExpressLRS. Saying “all you need to do is have matching firmware on TX and RX” is not only a) not true (there are additional steps required beyond just having matching firmware), but b) an end result, not a process to get to that end result. It’s like saying “Orbital flight is actually really easy already. You just need to have a Space Shuttle. Simple.” No. It’s not. If it was, *everyone* would be doing it this way.

May be some day ? Anyway great thanks to the amazing dev community !

@@JoshuaBardwell I often fly drones with my son, and it would be the same within a club sharing rc models: we charge lipos and then go in the garden and switch drones from one TX to the other. Why having to press anything if, in the model definition in EdgeTx we could have a per-model binding phrase ? Then we wouldn't have to press any button, all TX would share the same model definition, a guy flies a model, pass it to the next, etc. Often buttons are hard to reach. There are many FC with an embedded ELRS RX but having no button, etc. The binding phrase mechanism is brilliant, but having to flash a TX just to change the biden phrase is not and if we can completely get rid of buttons that would be nice.

Does the bind button transfer the binding phrase UID from the TX to the RX when executed? So if I have 2 transmitters with the same phrase will button-bind on the first transmitter just work for the second transmitter without having to bind a second time?
@JoshuaBardwell 5 ай бұрын
Yes. All binding methods do that. That's essentially what binding is. It copies the UID from the TX to the RX. No matter whether you do 3-plug or button or whatever, it copies the UID from the TX. So if you have two TX with identical UID, binding to one will also bind to the 2nd.

Yes. Binding is always the process of copying the UID (bind phrase) from the transmitter to the receiver. You can manually type in the bind phrase. Or you can use the 3-plug. Or you can (now) use the bind button. However you do it, it doesn't matter. The UID is copied from TX to RX.

Thank god. I have watched every tutorial, followed every direction to a T and have NEVER had a smooth updating and binding process for ELRS. 6 quads. I spent more time trying to update and bind ELRS than I spent building them. I have one quad that I’ve given up on for the time being. F it. It’s not worth the time. Every time it’s like this. Radiometer boxer ELRS, happy model Rx, radiometer Rx, SPI AIO receivers, you name it. And I’m no programmer but I’m also not a Luddite. UGH

No thanks. I prefer the clasic procedure!

I hate bind buttons! My receivers are nearly all burried in the main wing. As long as all works safely as before ( rebind in the air) , I don´t care. But, more gimmicks, more issues.

I just don't get it? ELRS has been the easiest and most user friendly equipment I've dealt with in RC. Air or ground. The gripe I always see is its so hard to bind blah blah etc etc. Too many ways to bind and it's so confusing cry cry. So now we have added another (4th?) method to bind, added more difficulty potential and places to confuse people and now everyone is happy and it's easier because it's has even more options than before? People are weird lol.

Well, we can tell the FAA they can end the regulations of drones. You have to be a software engineer to bind ELRS, lol. Normal people dont have time for that. Its over complicated for no reason lol.

Im still flying frsky because i want no part of ELRS. I have 1 RTF kit thats elrs. Ill just use the crap radio it comes with instead of my T16s mk2 because of how complicated ELRS is. The problem is manufacturers are selling less frsky drones because ELRS is better.

If you have an ELRS receiver and transmitter they should just bind. No safe words or matching firmware. I dont have to flash the current betaflight version to my drones to use betaflight. I just cant use new features. Not over complicated like ELRS.

This pretty much is the case today. Very few, if any, manufacturers are still shipping receivers with ELRS 2.x on them. Any RX you buy should easily bind to any module.

@JoshuaBardwell I'm going to have to learn eventually. Everyone is moving to elrs and digital video. I'm sure elrs will get easier. It's just a pain for noobs like me lol.

You lost me at “But it’s more complicated than that, it’s ELRS” 🤦🏽♂️. Then why bother putting a bind button.
