Hi wonderful fountains of knowledge 👋 Looking for some detailed help here, I’m trying to set up my drone to a radiomaster Boxer and I’ve followed instructions manual, YouTube, oscar Laing and not having any luck. I got quite far with a YouTube video but then got lost on usb setup. I downloaded a elrs configurator but my pc won’t open the .exe file so I’m really stumped…who knew building one of these would be so stressful 😔 If someone could guide me through it, I’d happily drop ship some beers to you via my drone. Thanks David ---

HI David, Such fun! Q1 - Which drone are you trying to bind it to? Q2 - Do you know which receiver on the drone ? Q3 - Have you tried connecting to the ELRS receiver on the drone via its own hotspot - " `expresslrs` (This is my preferred method) ? Also this means you do not need the elrs configurator > **[Wifi Updating - ExpressLRS](https://www.expresslrs.org/software/updating/wifi-updating/#method-1-hotspot)** > > ExpressLRS aims to provide the best completely open, high refresh radio control link while maintaining a maximum achievable range at that rate with low latency. Vast support of hardware in both 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz frequencies. ---

Further on hotspot. Only power the flight controller via USB (Video transmitter will no be powered.). After about 2 mins a new wifi network should be available - … Bartwell has the answer.

Hey, appreciate the time to reply😊 I have built a 5" quad with a speedybee stack f405 V3. I’ve managed to get it connected to beta flight, spun the motors etc so it works (surprisingly) firmware is uptl date too. But binding it…damn, feels like a new language again. I’ll watch that video after work and see if I can make any sense with it! Thanks David ---

I attached a happy model (thing) to the FC too, guess this could make more sense? ---

I only get three lights on the FC one white, red and (blue flashing) Nothing on the elrs receiver however it is soldered to the correct pads. Should this have lights on without my transmitter turned on? Cheers David ---

usually the pads marked 5V are powered by the main battery - but make sure to keep it short / or with a fan running on the quad. the pad marked 4V5 will likely be the one that can also be powered by the USB (no need for the battery / fan) ---

If someone could spare 20 mins for a call or online Google meet to run me through the remaining setup id be eternally grateful. Tried all day but I have no more avenues to try now. ---

Yes I e plugged it into the battery now and the elrs receiver has a green flashing led now, do you know what I need to do from here? ---

So I’ve built, updated and flashed the firmware on both the transmitter and the receiver. Green light now stays on (I think it’s good) and they both see each other. Can’t see how to bind them or arm them anywhhere? ---

> [@DavidFPV](#): > > bind them or arm them anywhhere? Solid light suggests it is binded. Arming … I am presuming you are using beta flight.

Arming switch MUST BE on channel for ELRS 🙂 [Next page](https://greyarro.ws/t/radiomaster-boxer-setup/86564.md?page=2)
