ExpressLRS Complete Beginner Guide 2025: A Straightforward Look at RC Control Links


This is a companion topic for our recent blog post on blog.unmanned.tech

ExpressLRS has become the darling of FPV drone pilots, but let’s be honest—its complexity can leave even the most seasoned flyer scratching their heads. Our latest blog post aims to demystify this RC control link, covering everything from binding receivers (yes, there are unique processes involved) to adjusting packet rates for peak performance.

You can opt for 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz frequency bands depending on your flying needs; think of it as choosing between a scone with jam or clotted cream—both delightful, but one may suit your taste better in certain conditions. The Nomad module offers the convenience of dual-band switching, perfect for navigating crowded skies—because who needs the added stress of interference on race day?

We also delve into handy tips like employing bind phrases for seamless connections and utilising the web-based flasher for firmware updates, which is infinitely more user-friendly than wrestling with archaic software. Remember, reading the manual is so last season; it’s all about keeping ahead of the game while avoiding those classic rookie blunders.

Finally, we encourage you to explore further resources and tutorials as you embark on your ELRS journey. After all, as they say, knowledge is power—or at least a very nice bonus when you’re trying to keep your drone airborne.
