VI. Hardware

The Hardware screen is where you configure specific radio hardware settings. It displays all physical hardware objects (sticks, knobs, switches) and allows you to modify them.
You can also calibrate sticks and knobs, and perform other configuration options here:

6.1 Calibration

To calibrate your physical radio controls (sticks, knobs, sliders, and 6-position switches), highlight the [Calibration] option and press the [Enter] button. The radio will guide you through the calibration steps.

Important

For gimbal calibration, use left-to-right and up-down movements, not circular motions! Also, use normal pressure at the endpoints. Excessive endpoint pressure will cause gimbal calibration errors. Don't forget to calibrate your 6-position switches either!

6.2 Input, Stick, Knob, and Switch Button List

Select an axis, knob, or switch row from the list to add a 3-character label to the control and change the control type as needed. Additionally, you can reverse the direction of a knob by selecting ->.

6.3 Other Hardware Configuration Options

Battery Calibration - Set this value to match the transmitter battery voltage. This ensures the displayed battery voltage is accurate.
RTC Battery - The current voltage of the RTC battery. The RTC (Real-Time Clock) battery maintains the radio's date and time accurately even without the main radio battery.
Check RTC - When enabled, checks the RTC battery on startup and warns you if the battery voltage is low.
Audio Mute - When enabled, mutes the transmitter until sound needs to be played. This prevents interference noise from high-power TX modules from coming through the transmitter speaker.
Internal RF Type - Select the module type for the internal module slot. Options are: Multi, XJT, ISRM, CRSF. When selecting CRSF, you can also select the baud rate. You can read more about baud rates here.
Sampling Mode (External RF) - Options are Normal and OneBit. Most users should use the default setting Normal. Only users of X9D+ and X7 radios may want to use OneBit mode.

6.4 Bluetooth

Mode - The mode that the Bluetooth module will use. Options are:

• --- - Off
• Telemetry - Used for sending telemetry data via Bluetooth.
• Trainer - Used for Bluetooth trainer mode
  After selecting a mode, you will see the following information:
• PIN Code - The PIN code of the Bluetooth device in the radio (only visible in Telemetry mode)
• Local Address - The identification address of the Bluetooth device in the radio.
• Remote Address - The identification address of the Bluetooth device that the radio is connected to.
  Name - The name that the Bluetooth device will display.
  Serial Port - Displays a list of available auxiliary serial ports that can be configured and used. The listed ports are based on the ports available in specific radio hardware. The ports listed below are examples only and may not exist in your radio.
• AUX1 - The first available auxiliary serial port can be configured with the following options:
  • Off - Disabled. Telemetry Mirror - The same telemetry data sent to the external module slot is also sent to the serial port.
  • Telemetry Input - Receive telemetry data via the serial port. SBUS Trainer - Connect trainer and student radios via the serial port.
  • LUA - Send/receive data to/from Lua scripts.
  • GPS - Receive GPS telemetry data via the serial port.
  • CLI - Send commands to the radio via the command line.
  • USB-VCP - Virtual COM port. This is one of the options most radios provide when connecting the radio to a PC. Typically set to 'CLI' for radios with internal ExpressLRS RF modules for firmware updates.
    ADC Filter - Enable or disable the ADC filter. This filter can also be enabled/disabled per model in the model settings.
    RAS - (formerly SWR) Reflected antenna signal. The lower the number, the better. A 1:1 ratio is theoretically the best. Not all RF protocols support this.

6.5 Debug

The Debug section allows you to test and debug analog controls and buttons.
