Using with ESP-FC

To use ESP-FC as receiver just select SPI Rx (e.g. built-in Rx) as Receiver mode. Receiver provider doesn't matter here.

ESP-FC receiver

Transmitter and receiver binds automatically after power up, you don't need to do anything. Recomended startup procedure is:

  1. turn on transmitter first
  2. next power up receiver/flight controller
