Power-up
RADIO → GOGGLES → QUAD
- ARM off, throttle low, 6S battery securely strapped.
- Start the compatible ELRS radio, then compatible DJI O4 goggles.
- Power the quad last. Confirm ELRS, video, OSD and battery voltage.
- Outdoors, wait for useful GPS lock before using GPS features.
ExpressLRS binding
- Props off. Power the quad, let the receiver boot, then unplug.
- Repeat once.
- Power it a third time and leave it connected.
- Use the ExpressLRS Lua script on the radio and select Bind.
- Verify channels, endpoints, switches, telemetry and failsafe in Betaflight.
Modes and rates
In Betaflight Receiver, identify the AUX channel moved by each switch. In Modes, assign ARM deliberately and add only the modes you understand—such as ANGLE, BEEPER and, after setup, GPS Rescue. Rates are personal; adjust center feel and maximum rotation conservatively without randomly changing the tune.
