Matek ELRS-R24-S 2.4Ghz Receiver

Please note, ELRS is a new open source project so please only order this if you are comfortable with regular firmware updates as the firmware is still in beta. We will only be able to offer limited support due to the early nature of the firmware, but we think this project has great potential.

Wiring with FC

Receiver RX FC UART_TX for Telemetry

Receiver TX FC UART_RX for Control

Receiver 5V FC 5V or 4v5

Receiver G FC GND

Receiver protocol: Serial-based receiver – CRSF

Traditional Binding

Receivers have ExpressLRS fw V1.1.0 preloaded without BINDING_PHRASE

1. Power on and off your receiver three times

2. Make sure the LED is doing a quick double blink, which indicates the receiver is in bind mode

3. Use the [BIND] button on the Transmitter Lua script, which sends out a binding pulse

4. Receiver will switch to slow blink once it has received binding pulse.

5. Power off and power on receiver again. If the receiver LED switch to solid on from slow blink, it’s bound with your transmitter.

Important

If the RX firmware has a bind phrase, the RX will never enter binding mode using the above procedure. It must be flashed without a binding phrase to do traditional binding.

Flashing with ESP_NodeMCU-PyFlasher

1. Connect receiver to USB-TTL module(RX-TX, TX-RX, 5V-5V, G-GND)

2. Connect USB to PC while pressing and holding the boot button in.

3. Open ESP_NodeMCU-PyFlasher

4. Select Serial port of USB-TTL module, load firmware, select “Dual Output(DOUT)” and “Yes.wipes all data”

5. Click “Flash NodeMCU”

6. After flashing, Power off and power on your receiver, receiver will enter binding mode(quick double blink).

Flashing with ELRS configurator

• MATEK_2400_RX target is not available in ELRS configurator 1.0.8 and fw release 1.1.0 for now

Included

• 1 x ELRS-R24-S RC Receiver
