5.3. Pagbugkos

To bind your RP4TD receiver to your ExpressLRS transmitter module, follow the standard ExpressLRS binding procedure:

  1. Power on your receiver three times, cycling power quickly between each power-up. This will put the receiver into binding mode, indicated by a slow flashing LED.
  2. Ensure your transmitter module is also running ExpressLRS firmware and is configured to bind.
  3. Initiate the binding process from your transmitter.
  4. Once bound, the receiver's LED will turn solid, indicating a successful connection.

Refer to the official ExpressLRS documentation for detailed binding instructions specific to your transmitter and module setup.

6. Operasyon

Once the RP4TD receiver is successfully installed and bound to your transmitter, it will provide reliable control and telemetry data for your RC model. Ensure that your flight controller is correctly configured to interpret the CRSF protocol from the receiver.

  • Pre-Flight Checks: Always perform thorough pre-flight checks to ensure all control surfaces respond correctly and that telemetry data (RSSI, SNR) is being received by your transmitter.
  • Range Testing: Conduct a range test in a safe environment to verify signal integrity before flying at full range.
  • Pagbutang sa Antenna: Optimal antenna placement is crucial for diversity performance. Ensure the two antennas are oriented at approximately 90 degrees to each other and are clear of obstructions (carbon fiber, batteries, etc.) for best signal reception.

    • Verify your transmitter module is powered on and in binding mode.
    • Check that both receiver and transmitter are running compatible ExpressLRS firmware versions.
    • Confirm the correct binding phrase is set on your transmitter (if applicable).
  • Loss of Signal/Poor Range:
    • Inspect antenna placement and orientation. Ensure they are not obstructed and are positioned for optimal diversity.
    • Check for physical damage to antennas or receiver board.
    • Verify power supply to the receiver is stable (5V).
    • Ensure no strong local interference sources are present.
  • No Telemetry Data:
    • Confirm your flight controller is configured to pass telemetry data via CRSF.
    • Check wiring between receiver TX and flight controller RX.
  • Ang Receiver Wala Nag-on:
    • Verify the 5V and GND connections are correct and receiving power.
    • Check for any short circuits or visible damage on the board.
