The new v3.2, is this so you can use the second rx as a tx for telemetry i take it ?

Rx as a Tx means instead of buying a Tx in a case and mounting it in a module you can literally get an Rx put this FW on it and connect power and PPM in from your transmitter and the Rx will work as a transmitter..... Albeit with a few extra pins lol. It's good for people that don't have a futaba or a radio that will accept a futaba module they can buy a cheaper Rx and internally mount in their Tx and have a UHF antenna in the normal place and it also looks unmodified :)

Cool, thats handy to know, just missing a buzzer but ive just read you can impliment that too with coding, gotta love the flexibility of this system :)

[thundead]

thanks for the explanation :)

@Coyote - telemetry + diversity will be in the next fw update but first I'll wait a bit more to see other range tests to confirm the current fw is working ok so I can fix whatever bugs are found.

Yet another happy thUndeadMod User:




thank you for the picture Daniel :)

~3km on the ground and still signal to spare - not bad ;)

I really like my DX8! I find the menus really easy to navigate and is feels nice to use.

Now it has 3km range and all the other benefits of OpenLRS.



A matching pair of 459 antennas I made.



The power comes from the LiPo (4000mAh) and the PPM input to the OpenLRS RX (being used as a TX) comes from the Trainer Port.
