Did you have to do anything to the FC to make it so the onboard receiver was not powered? How would you be able to bind to one and not the other if they're the same protocol?
All you have to do is, wire up the new receiver and switch it on in betaflight, which ever receiver you switch on in betaflight is the one you will use, so to answer your question the on board receiver won’t be used if it isn’t switched on in betaflight👍
@PhillysHobbyHouse ok that makes sense. I ended up removing the chip bead like the manual says too so the onboard receiver doesnt use power. It was a pain in the ass, don't recommend it lol
You can use any available uart on your flight controller! I think I used uart 4 on my pavo20, as long as you set it correctly in beta flight then it will work.
I like the extra power they provide and they look good as well but my props for some reason cause a lot of oscillations and prop wash, I have been studying Chris rosser’s video on pid tuning so once I get rid of that I will stick with the 5 bladed props for sure.
About to try this myself when I get my GPS and ELRS receiver in the mail. It's a shame this vid is only 360p as it makes it very hard to see what's going on. Thanks for posting this though mate!
I was very upset about that when I made this video I’m sorry about that, I used the Mac editing program to edit and it took me along time to figure out how to switch it to high def as it’s a fairly hidden option, My latest videos have been made on da Vinci resolve so this problem won’t happen again, don’t hesitate to ask me for help I will be more than happy to help , I can walk you through any problems you might come across.
@@PhillysHobbyHouse Hey mate, I managed to get a GPS module soldered up to UART6 and it's all working fine. I'm keen to get an external ELRS receiver onto UART1 but I'm wondering did you disable the power for UART3 (the inbuilt ELRS receiver)? On their site it mentions you can cut the power to it by removing the chip bead but I'm not 100% sure what this means
All I made sure is to not have that uart configured in betaflight, as long as the uart for the specific peripheral you want off is switched off in betaflight then it won’t be used if that makes sense!
@@PhillysHobbyHouse Thanks for asking mate. I did exactly what you said and just enabled serial rx for the uart. I haven't flown yet but it looks like it's going to be much better than the inbuilt receiver. Thanks again mate.
I tried the 5 blades props and it is really quiet but it has caused massive vibrations and a huge amount of prop wash! I’m actually trying to pid tune it but I’m having a hard time grasping the pid tuning in depth!!
I take it you have the o3 air unit? You need to go into the presets tab and load the correct preset! When I get home I can help you properly, give me an hour or so and I can guide you to exactly what preset you need to load! Once that’s done you should be able to see your osd👍
This might seem kinda of foolish to ask, but what is the purpose of the gps on the pavo20? Will it help self level out like the DJI Avata and allow it to return home if it looses signal or something? The Avata and mini4 pro are the only drones I’ve used that had a gps on them. Nice video
Not foolish to ask at all, I always put a gps on all my quads in the off chance I lose it, I have lost three drone completely and I would of gotten them back if I had gps rescue, unfortunately the gps systems on beta flight aren’t as advanced as the dji and that is because most of the time fpv drones don’t have a magnetometer or compass allowing them to do way point missions, but they do allow gps rescue and auto landing which is great for that added security in case of an emergency.
Of course, have you typed in osd wtf on the presets! And upload that and then set it in your msp? If you want I can make a video on how to do it properly?

Yeah that’s a pain in the ass to do, but at least now you will get a bit more flight time since there isn’t any power running through it👍

Thanks for this video. Product links would have been helpful. Also, for some reason, I could only watch this in 360p resolution.
How to you like these props vs OEM two-blade ones?

Hey mate how did you go? did you get your receiver wired up and disable the in built elrs?
@@PhillysHobbyHouse Thanks for asking mate. I did exactly what you said and just enabled serial rx for the uart. I haven't flown yet but it looks like it's going to be much better than the inbuilt receiver. Thanks again mate.
I put 5 blade props on mine a week after I got it love how quiet it is
Link? I love how this little thing flies on 3s with stock props!

Mr, Gps n rx to uart ?
You must put the gps TX wire to the flight controller RX pad, and the gps RX wire to the flight controller TX pad.
🎉🎉🎉
How did you go? Did you get it working?

To anyone who has any questions or need help on there builds please don’t hesitate to contact me👍
Could use help with my osd for goggles v2 lol
I'm seeing some stuff but last time I put everything I wanted it all went all over the screen
Of course, have you typed in osd wtf on the presets! And upload that and then set it in your msp? If you want I can make a video on how to do it properly?
@@PhillysHobbyHouse no I haven't, and that would be amazing!
@@PhillysHobbyHouse I have it on uart 4 and msp turned on
hey dad
Hey sweetie tell your friends about my channel👌
