ArduPilot ESP8266 wifi telemetry

• Tool:  ESP_NodeMCU-PyFlasher.exe
• Firmware: firmware-esp01_1m.bin
• Flashing with ESP_NodeMCU-PyFlasher

1. Wire the ESP8285(ETx, ERx) into the USB-TTL adapter, with ETx on F405-WTE connected to the Rx on the USB-TTL, and ERx connected to the Tx of the USB-TTL. Wire 4v5 and GND of F405-WTE to 5V and GND of the USB-TTL
2. Connect USB-TTL Adapter to PC while pressing and holding the ESP8285 boot button in.
3. open ESP_NodeMCU-PyFlasher
4. select Serial port of USB-TTL module,  load firmware,  select “Dual Output(DOUT)”  and “Yes.wipes all data“
5. click “Flash NodeMCU“
6. after flashing, Power off , then power on F405-WTE by USB or Battery.
7. Wait a few seconds,  search WiFi SSID  “ArduPilot”, and password is “ardupilot”
8. Tips: Red LED for ELRS receiver will not turn on if MAVESP8266 firmware is flashed in.

ExpressLRS 2.4G Receiver

• ExpressLRS AUX1-AUX8 are not full resolution CH.
• Flashing via WiFi

1. Power on F405-WTE by USB, Receiver’s LED(Red) will blink slow at first, and after 30s, it should blink fast indicating it’s on WiFi Hotspot Mode.
2. More detailed steps,  pls refer this page.
3. configurator 1.5.x or older,   Target: DIY_2400_RX_ESP8285_SX1280_via_WIFI
4. configurator 1.6.x or newer,  Target:  Generic targets used as a base 2.4 GHz –> Generic ESP8285 2.4Ghz RX

Flashing via UART

1. Wire the ESP8285(ETx, ERx) into the USB-TTL adapter, with ETx on F405-WTE connected to the Rx on the USB-TTL, and ERx connected to the Tx of the USB-TTL. Wire 4v5 and GND of F405-WTE to 5V and GND of the USB-TTL.
2. Connect USB-TTL Adapter to PC while pressing and holding the ESP8285 boot button in.
3. configurator 1.5.x or older,   Select the target DIY_2400_RX_ESP8285_SX1280 and  “UART” for Flashing Method,  set your bind phrase and Firmware Options and once done, click on Build and Flash.
4. configurator 1.6.x or newer,  Select the target Generic targets used as a base 2.4 GHz –> Generic ESP8285 2.4Ghz RX  and  “UART” for Flashing Method,  set your bind phrase and Firmware Options , Check “erase before flash” and “Force FLash “.
