Another brilliant video. Great tips. A dual receiver setup could actually simplify wiring on some complex wings that use many channels. BTW: Another way to get up to 10 PWM channels with ELRS would be to use a Matek CRSF-to-PWM adaptor board with one of the nano style ELRS receivers. Would need to use 4-pin header to solder on as daughter board. (same board should work with either Crossfire receivers, or ELRS receivers)
Brilliant! Great follow-up with even more useful information. A shortcut to get to WiFi mode faster is to hold the boot button after power up for 5 seconds, or use the Lua script if it is already connected. I'm still working to remove the CH5 stuff eventually, so hopefully that won't be an issue forever, but will be this way until we can uncouple it from everything for good.
@@AndrewNewton no, thank you! I started watching your videos 4 years ago, and your positive attitude, descriptive builds, and relaxing flights made me think, "This guy seems to be having a good time, I should try this" and welp, here we are 😊
Hi, Dear Andrew! I watch with great interest your work and your videos are very useful for those who are fond of flights. I wish you great health, great mood and new interesting ideas! Respectfully to you from distant Russia!
With Radiomaster ER6 receiver, (Firmware ELRS 3.3 ) does not require this channel re-mapping. Just upgrade both tx and rx to latest version (I tested with 3.3), then select tx frequency to "333Hz Full". Both ch 5 and ch 6 will work with full resolution.
Surely you have read the release notes? "Arming must be on AUX1 for safety and feature reasons, having this fixed allows us to maintain small packet sizes and deliver better aux channel options"
@@AndrewNewton Hmm Andrew. I suspect "Arming must be on AUX1" assumes an FC. I have an ELRS 3.3 receiver outputting sbus to a gyro where channel 5 cannot be re-mapped. Channel 5 does the gyro modes, throttle cut is via mixes on my radio. Either your method of 100 Hz and switch mode or 333 Hz and switch mode give me enough resolution to switch modes on the gyro. 500 Hz will not. It's all a bit grey but seems to work.
Good stuff! I'm hoping to add a kopilot to my fpv Aeroscout and use this method for my pan and tilt gimbal. Thoughts? Great videos on your channel btw.
I tried this with two ER5A receivers and almost crashed my plane! After some testing I discovered that the receiver running without telemetry had only about 20 meters of range. I have tested multiple times with different receivers and discovered that the ER5A receiver with telemetry will disturb any other receiver running without telemetry. As soon I replace the telemetry receiver with another brand, for example a Mateksys, everything works fine. All equipment was running ELRS v3.2.1 during the testing. I have only tested EU-version of the ELRS software.
i am very interested in this as an option... hmm... why would the 2nd rx have less range? Do you think it's the telemetry signal interfering? Also, fwiw, i have ch5 mapped to my throttle and have no issues at all (300 hz, full 16ch (1/2 rate)).
@@banzaiib I tested again yesterday after flashing v3.3.0 to my ER5A receivers, and it works now without any range issues. Both receivers went into failsafe almost at the same rime and with normal range. Must have been the telemetry interferring somehow earlier, but now it’s fixed!
@@banzaiib This is only experience values since I measure from my basement and through several buildings. Then I don’t have to walk so far… The range is the same as I have tested earlier with various firware versions.

Thanks Bryan. I learn more from your comments than all my reading. Stunning work mate, ELRS is amazing.

CH5 still needs to be the Arming channel even if it is full resolution
@@AndrewNewton I didn't get you. What's the impact of it being arming channel? channel 5 cannot be used for flap kind of setup?

@@TakeItToTheGround Some of ELRS special features are only enabled if Ch5 is high. Like dynamic power and locked setting buttons.
Wow, great video, these radios and equipment amaze me with their capabilities! Thanks for sharing with us!!!!
The subscribe thing at the end is always my favorite part
I must dream up some more, they are fun to make.
When you use multiple receivers you need to disable telemetry on all but one of them. Use the Force telemetry off setting shown at 5:52.
Ah thanks for the tip. I suspected there was something I missed.
You can use this with the ELRS RX
You re-map CH5 with CH9(AUX) when you set it up on WiFi on page three
Need to try ELRS PWM, great video!
Amazing, thank you for sharing!
if only we could do that remapping on the crsf or sbus outputs
Love the mouse pad Andrew!
Ah yes, FrSKY merch on an ELRS Radiomaster video. Very observant AC
This helped out a ton! Thanks

Yes I can see that working. First Rx connected to Kopilot with Ch 5 pins changed to Ch 6 for modes, and second Rx for gimbal.
@@AndrewNewton exactly what I'm thinking. Thanks for the idea!

That's a worry. I'll have to check with the non EU versions

@@torheinebossum7919 thank you for the update! What range and tx power did they failsafe, if you don't mind me asking?

If you want 12ch PWM, Matek do a 6Ch PWM but you do need to solder the pins. ELRS-R24-P6
Thanks for the alert.
Is channel 5 not working on middle pwm values, it takes only High and low position pwm
Correct. But if you can get full resolution by choosing a different packet rate and switch mode.
Why in the receiver page is set to 50hz? Can be changed to 100hz or more?
Can be changed up to 400Hz
Excuse me, permission to ask regarding 2 receivers, can they be used together when used
Yes that's how you can get 10 ch
okay, that means if I use 2 ER5A receivers, can they be used together?
are there no elrs that have more than 5 channels? requiring the stacking of receivers
PWM 5 ch, but UART connection ELRS receivers have 12 to 16ch
ELRS-R24-P6 from Matek is 6ch. That's the most I've found so far.
