The Happymodel module quality is not bad at all, and proven to be reliable, at least over the past few months. Happymodel and Namimno were actively in communication with the devs, and the elrs discord during development. Probably why they got it right and Betafpv didn't... Happymodel modules have been in the wild for a few months already, and the only complaint was the fit and finish of the original pre-production resin 3d printed cases (white ones), which were quite badly made. Those 3d printed ones are what people were complaining about, not the current black injection molded cases, which are quite good. JR bay fit is perfect. Screws are standard plastic screws, the only reason they would strip is if you really over tighten them.The claim that the pcb is unsupported and going to cause issues is also just nonsense. I received 20 of the first production batch, and have had only praise from customers.

Been using the HM elrs 2.8 with EP1 for a month or so and yes its good but something that's not mentioned in reviews is it's 4 full servo channel limit, this most likely won't be a problem for quads but for fixed wings this short fall should be considered before parting with any cash. Also those super low latency numbers may only be possible without telemetry, stable telemetry is a juggling match between packet rates and TLM Ratio and finding the sweet spot often means lower packet rates.

It's not like TBS has the absolute best hardware quality especially in electronics.
@cagmuer3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I'm new long range control links and when I was researching TBS it looked really complex to me and that's likely because I'm new to it. They have other issues like firmware that's always in beta, the old and new cloud configurator, sometimes not binding, and the LuaScript complexity. To me, I decided to take the initial long range plunge with ExpressLRS and to me it feels very simple.

I have had soooo many stuff from happy model, bought over so much time. The only thing that makes problems is with (all) mob6 FC, but that is a design problem not QC (black outs). But I have like 36 motors flight boards (no esc burnt) no caps that popped. I really don't see the problem with HappyModel.

Sorry, I'll keep my tbs crossfire , for $25 a quad the difference is not so significant considering there is no question with build quality. Just because it's the latest and greatest means nothing to me. My crossfire has served me well with zero dropouts or failsafes. If I'm flying less than 2 km I'll stick to my crossfire and open tx, gives me everything I need without any headaches. As for 500 hz, Steele does fine without it so I guess I'll be ok too.

My happymodel t lite module did not come with an additional backing plate but I bought one right at launch

Great value but unfortunately not perfect for most of my planes which require more than 4 full res (10 bit) channels. Maybe the lower res channel would work ok for headtracker with my headtracker'd planes but I'll keep using my Crossfire for now until they release a version with a couple more full res channels... Got an R9 module waiting for when they do.

I was just having this discussion on the ELRS discord, a no frills FC to do on board mixing would be an easy solution for this.
@JoshuaBardwell3 жыл бұрын
It would be nice if ELRS would give a full-fat option of like 8 full range channels at 50 Hz for the plane guys.

ELRS should also add mavlink telemetry support to catch up with Crossfire
@JoshuaBardwell10 ай бұрын
ELRS supports Mavlink via the "AirPort" project.
@Rohit-oz1or10 ай бұрын
@@JoshuaBardwell but for that we have to get additional transmitter and receiver pair increasing the cost and complexity. Why not go with tbs instead?

Do some digging into how well TBS Mavlink support actually works before you decide.

Kinda wish this all came out a few years ago when I got into quads. I decided I need crossfire because long range is what I want to do. But they are expensive and hard to get.. but I allready have the box, and a few receivers. When I looked at prices they were less than $30… not sure why yours are showing more expensive.

Would like to move my fixed wing aircraft over to XLRS, however, it seems to be a marketing policy to only have non-PWM RXs. Which is a shame. I dont want to go down the road of adding SBUS/CRSF - PWM converters to everything. Will be watching to see if anything PWM emerges.

There are elrs recievers with pwm. Seen it today but not sure of manufacturer, or where to buy it. But, it is available now.
