Proċedura li torbot:
The Lite Receiver comes with officially released V3.0.0 protocol and does not include a Binding Phrase. To bind the receiver to your transmitter module, follow these steps:
- Plug in and unplug the Lite Receiver three times.
- Observe the LED indicator. It should display a quick double blink, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.
- Ensure your TX module or radio transmitter is in bind mode and sending out a binding pulse.
- If the receiver's LED turns solid, the binding process is complete.
Nota: Once bound, the receiver will store the binding information. Re-power the receiver and it should connect automatically. If you reflash the receiver's firmware with your own Binding Phrase, ensure the TX module has the same Binding Phrase for automatic binding.
Aġġornament tal-Firmware:
The current firmware version of the Lite Receiver flat antenna V1.2 is ELRS 3.3.0. For flashing official ELRS firmware, download the latest ExpressLRS-Configurator. It is crucial that the TX module and receiver are running the same ELRS version to ensure successful frequency matching and communication.
4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Once the receiver is successfully bound and configured in your flight controller, it will provide reliable control for your FPV drone. The optimized impedance matching and flat ceramic antenna contribute to stable signal reception and extended range.
The high refresh rate of ExpressLRS ensures responsive control, critical for precision flying in FPV applications. Monitor your signal strength (RSSI) through your OSD (On-Screen Display) if configured, to maintain awareness of your link quality during flight.

5. Manutenzjoni
The BETAFPV ExpressLRS Lite Receiver is designed for durability, but proper care will extend its lifespan:
- Protezzjoni Fiżika: While the flat antenna is crash-resistant, avoid direct impacts. Ensure the receiver is securely mounted within your drone to prevent vibration damage.
- Kundizzjonijiet Ambjentali: Keep the receiver dry and away from excessive dust or extreme temperatures.
- Tindif: If necessary, gently clean the receiver with a soft, dry brush. Avoid using liquids or solvents.
- Integrità tal-Wiring: Periodically inspect solder joints and wires for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged wires promptly.
6 Issolvi l-problemi
- Kwistjonijiet Vinkolanti: Ensure both your TX module and receiver are running the exact same ELRS firmware version. If using a custom binding phrase, verify it matches on both devices. Repeat the binding procedure carefully.
- No Signal/RX Loss: Check all wiring connections between the receiver and flight controller. Verify that the correct UART is enabled for Serial Rx in Betaflight Configurator. Ensure your transmitter is powered on and operating on the correct frequency.
- Firxa Mnaqqsa: Confirm your TX module's power output settings. Ensure the receiver's antenna is not obstructed by carbon fiber or other conductive materials. Check for local RF interference.
- Imġieba LED: Refer to the ExpressLRS documentation for specific LED flash codes to diagnose issues. A solid LED typically indicates a successful link.
