BETAFPV Configurator
BETAFPV Configurator is a utility designed to simplify updating, configuring, and tuning the radio transmitter.
Download address: https://github.com/BETAFPV/BETAFPV_Configurator/releases
The function of the BETAFPV Configurator is listed below.
-
Basic radio controller setup, like mode switch, turn on/off RF modules.
-
Full function of the ExpressLRS configuration, like outpower, packet rate, etc.
-
Channel mixer for fix wing drones.
-
Firmware update.
DO NOT power on the transmitter first and connect it to the PC. The USB port is invalid in this situation.
How to switch the protocol
Note: Switching internal protocol is only available for the Frsky version radio transmitter. ExpressLRS version can only switch to the external TX module.
To change protocols and TX module, here are the steps:
-
Power the radio transmitter off;
-
Press and hold the BIND button while powering the radio transmitter back on;
-
Then the flash color and times of the LED before buzzer alarms will change, according to the tables above.
The Frsky version could support 4 different internal protocols, including Frsky D16 FCC, Frsky D16 LBT, Frsky D8, and Futaba S-FHSS. The protocol is indicated by the flashing times of the LED when power on, before the buzzer alarms.
