Been holding out only because so many options. But now RM has one designed to work with their radios. Looking more at it. But also love the fact Radiometer didn't ignore Fixed wing, or airplanes. as since they offer 2 receivers tin PWN to run servos. Once they can run more than 4-5 channels. might convert a few planes over from My Radiolink I use for planes. Thanks for the info. Thinking the micro for 40 (well with 3 receivers 20 bucks more for 50-60 bucks in receivers) be more than enough to start with.

That's one thing that I have to give TBS credit on: Their customer support is phenomenal, they stand behind their products, and they honor their warranties. I had a CRSF MicroTX module take a shit and TBS sent me a replacement with no questions asked. But my CRSF NanoRX just went out and I'm thinking about giving ELRS a try to see if it lives up to all the hype. But I want quality and reliability above all else. Anf if you think the Ranger series of ELRS TX modules are worth it then I'll be ordering one very soon.

Your right about that express lrs module by beta fpv. I got the same one a while back and it was impossible to flash. I had to look online and find a video showing how to do it. You can flash it if you take the module apart and hold down a tiny button on the board the whole time it’s flashing. It took me 6 months to figure this out. Almost gave up because first time I held the wrong button 😂

Great video! Always producing quality content. I seen you just became aware that multiple receivers could bind at same time. Not sure if your aware that us wing pilots have know about this for a while now and use it to bind two elrs 5 channel receivers and use channel remapping available in web configurator to set them up so we have up to 10 full resolution pwm outputs and or various redundancies or receiver diversity. Tons of new options and things to learn ans explore with elrs. No doubt best New thing in rc control links in a long long time.

@JoshuaBardwell Жыл бұрын

Sorry what? The web configurator can do channel remapping?

@Michael85239990 Жыл бұрын

I think this mainly applies to the pwm elrs receivers us wing guys use. Most of them have 5 pwm outputs. Channel 5 is mostly useless because it's arming switch.Only high or low. We can remap outputs of the receiver though so that channel 5 output will use channel 6 instead. Channel 5 however still works internally and arms/disarms elrs. So we map output 5 to be controlled by input channel 6. By binding to two receivers at the same time though we can map the second receivers outputs to use channels 7 8 9 10 11 or whatever and effectively have loads of pwm outputs and its still tiny and light weight. We use higher latency full protocols to take advantage of full resolution of alot of channels. As in 150 full or something around that. Anyway. Its just another cool thing that pertains to ability to connect to multiple receivers we wing guys take advantage of.

And a melding of this would be since you now know multiple receivers can bind at same time and that pwm receives can have there outputs remapped to output whatever channels you'd like then a utility quad or cinema type quad could utilize a second receiver with pwm outputs to control grapling hooks or things used to recover a lost quad or control pan and tilt or all kinds of whatever one could imagine and be piggy backed onto existing receiver. So.....primary receiver connected to flight control using first 6 channels and second pwm receiver also bound and set to output channels 7 thru whatever to control various other functions.

Great reviews and information. On getting a new Ranger ELRS I have noticed the fan noise on higher wattage setting even 250mW and above as the fan gets faster which is annoying. Often a trait of small fans. As it was not mentioned in your video review either I have a lower quality fan / manufacturing issue in my unit or its not something important enough to report on i.e is considered acceptable / normal fan background noise. Perhaps this issue is more common in the Ranger module and there is a fan upgrade someone has done to remndy this?

@grim-upnorth Жыл бұрын

I adopted crossfire as my chosen control link some years ago, and it's been exceptional. To the point that even with all the ELRS buzz, I've felt no need to move over from crossfire. One of the reasons for this is just how janky all the TX hardware looked, but if there's anything that makes me even consider moving to ELRS, these modules are it. I have a Zorro and TX16S, Radiomaster hardware has always worked well for me and I trust it, so now they've made these modules in consultation with the ELRS devs I'm now actually tempted to try it out.

Frsky's micro R9m TX module, on ELRS, with heat sink and fan mod (at your own risk) can also output 2W. So the Ranger isn't actually first. However, R9m hardware operates on 900mHz, so maybe it's pioneer in the more popular 2.4gHz frequency spectrum?

You may be suffering from the oscillator issues that have recently been discovered that cause frequency drift which can lead to a lockout. There is now a test that you can do by flashing firmware with a special command to both transmitter and receiver and check. Basically helps identify if the frequency is matching or out of spec. New hardware is already emerging with temperature controlled oscillators to help remedy the issue. There is a page on the expresslrs site called "ExpressLRS 3.0 Crystal Oscillator (XO) Frequency Error" that give the info. I would look into that as it may identify and solve your issue.

Great videos JB. I was hoping you could clear something up for me. I have and love my Spektrum ix12 and I want to add the ranger module to my arsenal. I've messaged back and forth with people from horizon hobby, radiomaster, getfpv, pyrodrone, 2 discords, and a few FB groups and everyone single person except one said they've never even heard such a scenario. Literally, never even though of it. Which threw me cause all of my fixed-wing buddies have Spectrum transmitters and are seriously interested in ELRS One guy on a discord said that Crossfire accepts PPM but ELRS doesn't. So though there may be a connector on the back of the ix12 for a crossfire cable (SPMA3090), it still might not work. He then sent me to page 246 of the ix12 manual but it doesn't specify how it's sending signals to crossfire. I think he's convinced that the ix12 sends out PPM signals that get converted in that crossfire cable or in the crossfire module to CSFR. If that's the case, its a no go. Please lmk what you think.

NamimnoRC Flash (2.4GHz) or the Voyager (900MHz) - those have OLED screens too.. The Betafpv Micros both have screens as well.

Do they work on the older versions of Radiomaster 16s radios as well, I have the first edition when it came out.

Never mind, have the answer, it works.

Has anyone tested these modules for the oscillator issues that other expressLRS hardware had? Anyone opened one up to see if they had the temperature controlled oscillator that is being recommended? I am guessing since the osc issue is fairly new that these have the cheaper osc and if that premium Ranger is pumping out 1-2 watts thats going to get toasty and could have the osc drift. I am going to hold off until additional research shows up as these may have to go through a redesign.

What’s a good elrs module at the moment that you recommend ?

Would the nano module work with the Jumper T-Lite if it already has the happymodel PDB?

@JoshuaBardwell Жыл бұрын

I assume so. You might want to use the external battery though just to be safe.

Hello! I have a quastion: why does my ranger module purchased on 12/23/2023 not have an "accelerometer / Motion Detect" section in the settings?

@JoshuaBardwell 4 ай бұрын

You have to ask radiomaster about that.

@denisherasymenko6708 4 ай бұрын

@@JoshuaBardwell RadioMaster's answer: Yes, ExpressLRS disables the Motion detect function in 3.3.2, because there are bugs in the software since version 3.3.0. After the Motion detect function is enabled, the Ranger module will occasionally stop working, which is no problem in version 3.2.1. However, the ExpressLRS developers did not identify this issue in the 3.3.0 code, so it is temporarily disabled to avoid user problems, as stated in the 3.3.2 release notes, until a future release fixes the issue and will enable Motion detect again.

Is there a solution to make these work with the older ELRS so that they can be used with SPI RX? It seems I can a cheap paperweight at this point.

@sirmissalot8065 10 ай бұрын

what do you mean? eg.: aio boards with spi elrs? since the newest betaflight they made these boards compatible with 3.x elrs yes, its still running with 2.x elrs so don't expect features that came with 3.x but you can still use the 2.x aio boards with a 3.x flashed controller

I new to RC and new to RadioMaster. I have a 16s Mk II with the 4 in 1 on board. I watched your video on the RadioMaster external modules for ELRS. I understand that the Ranger has the highest output at 2W. But you didn't really discuss whether there were any major differences (other than power and some external controls) with the other two modules. From their website, it looks like the Ranger fits with the micro adapter and the Ranger Micro would be a direct fit. The Ranger Nano would fit other transmitters. Is that correct? If you not looking to go to two watts, is there any real disadvantages to using the Ranger Micro?
