1. Įvadas
The HappyModel 2.4GHz ExpressLRS (ELRS) nano series receivers and the ES24TX Pro Micro ExpressLRS TX Module are open-source radio control components designed for FPV (First Person View) applications. Based on the ExpressLRS project, these modules offer low-latency and high-refresh-rate communication, making them ideal for FPV racing and long-range flights. Their ultra-light and nano-sized design also makes them highly suitable for tiny whoop drones.
