That looks like an awesome project! edit: after a smoked radio and Tx, I finally got it working! Tips from a novice: check FTDI jumper is set to 3,3V and in all excitement don't pinsh any wires reassembling. That's how my first attempt ended, since the T-lite doesn't come with any protections. For the rest everything is as simple as Jye makes it look ;) Thanks again Jye for sharing!
I made according to your project. lua script runs but sometimes settings are not saved. and the binding fails. could it be a power issue? i use step down AMS1117
Nice! It would be awesome if you (or someone similarly brilliant) could design a similar, internal module for Tango 2. Yes, I know, it has a nano module capability, but it makes it way less portable and more awkward and an internal ELRS module plus Edge TX (reportedly coming in several months, with 2.7 release), would make it an ultimate travel weapon....
Man I was really hoping CRSF/crossfireshot was added to opentx for the internal module so we could still have the external module as an option, that to me is the INTERNAL expresslrs I would want. Any word on that man? Still good work but I want it all haha waiting to buy a t-lite until CRSF is added as an option to internal module code so it could be as good as a Tango 2 basically, let me know if you have heard anything! Thanks!
Nice Work! Just finished my slim module for the T-Lite and was wondering if it was possible to fit it inside. Maybe a minimal 2-sided board would fit into the right bottom of the Jumper allowing to keep the internal module working - need to fit a 2nd Antenna then...
Jye: I'm a newbie. Am I correxct this video describes only your group's Express LRS development board? I just ordered Happymodel's ES24-Jumper T-LIte and the Happymodel JR bay ES24 modules. Do you know if the Happymodel versions follow features of your board, especially the circumvention of the Jumper T-Lite power problem? Thanks. The hobby is very greatly indebted to your ingenuity and sharing. - Jim
yeah this is incredibly sick. ELRS in general.... really hope happy model comes out a 2.4 with built in antenna. Anyways, I just purchased a few of the ELRS RX. Anyway the above ones can be made for Jumper T-lite? I think I might be too dumb to make it on my own, but willing to pay extra for someone to make it who knows what they're doing. I think I can install it myself to my T-lite. Anyways sick project
Have you updated the pcb yet? I'll be waiting on components to populate it for a while yet, but I wanted to know what to expect once I order the boards. Awesome project!
great idea and job.. so It require to sign up in order to make a purchase? Anyone offer an absolute walk through with steps and parts on this? Most are new to ExpressLRS and I think this is really a great idea for the little jumper
I wonder mate. Since you only use VOUT, VIN, and GND pins on the regulator (at least that's what it looks like to me), can I just use other 3.3V regulator that have only 3 pins?
Yes you'll have to use expresslrs receivers now. But how I see it, Happymodel are making some really cheap receivers for expresslrs, and they are really cheap. They are as expensive as the cheapest flysky receivers I usually buy so it's a total win in my opinion.
I don't know if this is within your scope or not, but what's the likelihood of the T-lite being able to support 900mhz eLRS? Jumper has said that they wont support R9 at all.
@@JyeSmith btw I thought I can use r9m lite with it but as far as I see jumper doesn't support r9m lite module. Is there a chance it supports if expresslrs is installed on module? Do you have any idea?
Hi, I'm based in the UK and whilst I really like this super-cool project, I'm really struggling to get this PCB (LCSC/JLCPCB page keeps crashing?) and parts- is there anyone that can make me the board and I'll pay via paypal?
That looks like an awesome project!

Finally! That’s the way I’m wanting to go but I’m not sure about installing the parts on the board.
how can i make 2 indoor modules? Is it possible to just connect the internal module to the contacts of the external one?
I like the internal module to avoid the bulky add on at the back.
I made according to your project. lua script runs but sometimes settings are not saved. and the binding fails. could it be a power issue? i use step down AMS1117
Just tried updating a v1 version to v3 without success. Cannot even flash it via UART (no connection). Any tips? WIFI updating keeps failing.

where did you get those cool-looking buttons?
It's a super radio now!
Can i buy somewhere ready to use?

Damn I wish there were as commercial product to do this, ready made
So, is this available for the 915mhz elrs? Or will it be available in the future?
Please try to do it for a X-Lite.
Nice Work!

Do you have ELRS Telemetry working on the T-Lite?
for me the RC-Control is working, but the Telemetry sensors show up but are not updated.
Did you have to update the OpenTx firmware at all? If so, which version are you using?
What's the top mw of that model
this is sweet!
why not use the internal headers?
Thank you Jye
That's awesome. I've got a betafpv lite radio 2 se, Would love a mod for ExpressLRS with that one!

Good job Jye. I like the internal version. Its amazing. How do you use the (in playstation language) the L2 and R2 buttons. 😀
Any way to do this with crossfire nano module?
Where can I buy this?
Anyway this can be installed in addition to an external bay?
That's amazing! Will it fit both the 4-in-1 and this expresslrs or do I have to take out the 4-in-1
With this version you take out the 4in1. Would be great to have one that fits additionally to the 4in1

Really want this, so do i just order that board but from the pcb site? never ordered from a pcb place before
I wonder mate. Since you only use VOUT, VIN, and GND pins on the regulator (at least that's what it looks like to me), can I just use other 3.3V regulator that have only 3 pins?
Can we get a kit version of this model to buy or the model already built.
I can make you one, send me a message on discord: FailsafeFPV#7205
maybe its a stupid question but it`s not toatally cvlear to me. You loose all the other protocols after this mod? Thanks!
Yes you'll have to use expresslrs receivers now. But how I see it, Happymodel are making some really cheap receivers for expresslrs, and they are really cheap. They are as expensive as the cheapest flysky receivers I usually buy so it's a total win in my opinion.
where are you buying the voltage regulator?
Pololu
Why n what to buy..thanks
Great stuff
I don't know if this is within your scope or not, but what's the likelihood of the T-lite being able to support 900mhz eLRS? Jumper has said that they wont support R9 at all.
ELRS on the r9 works fine. ELRS uses the sport pin like CRSF etc
@@JyeSmith Awesome! Thanks for the reply.
Will this work on TX16S RADIO?
What output power can we expect here?
250mW
Hi. Which opentx firmware do we have to install for t-lite?
A recent opened nightly
@@JyeSmith btw I thought I can use r9m lite with it but as far as I see jumper doesn't support r9m lite module. Is there a chance it supports if expresslrs is installed on module? Do you have any idea?
@@yasinsaglam4158 ExpressLRS will make the r9m lite work because it uses the sport pin like CRSF.
can i order a finished one in Germany?
I can make you one and post to Germany, send me a message on discord: FailsafeFPV#7205

Will it work with 2.4 GHz ELRS?
This is 2.4 GHz ELRS
dope
