Here --> https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS/releases

That will show all releases in descending chronological order. If you click on the "Tags" button in the top left you can filter / display information by a specific release

So... anybody here still running stock ExpressLRS on their BetaFPV Nano 900Mhz and Jumper T-Lite?
I went down a scary rabbit hole of trying nightly releases of Betaflight 4.3, so now I am weary of "newest and greatest".
What build is stable?

Thanks Snow !

@romangpro

The configurator has a check box that says something like " Show Pre-releases" If it is unchecked it will only show the full stable versions and none of the RC's or nighhtlies.

Thanks Snow

WOW...another upgrade...IMAGINE THAT

Seriously ???

Man are you tough on ELRS. Just because you are afraid of updating your TX does not mean the world should stop moving forward.
You do realize that this is a new thing right.  How can they possibly come out with a final version that will never need an update if there are still new vendors joining the game with new hardware.  Most of these new updates are for new targets.

If you want to stick with the older versions of Frsky that is fine, but no need to slam ELRS. It is a good thing.


It took me 1 afternoon to get my old stuff updated and switched over to ELRS.
Now all of my gear is on the same protocoll, has never been easier to update ( IF NEEDED ) way outperforms my Frsky stuff and is much cheaper.
Just bought a couple of EP2's rx's for $13.00 ea.
Also I have several ( old ) XM+'s and R-XSR's that are for sale if you need them.

Hi Scott,

Yes, I am concerned about changing my transmitter firmware. At some point, I will buy a RadioMaster TX16S or
what ever version is new at that time. From everything that I have found, changing my Jumper T16 is quite an
undertaking since it is an original and doesn't have OpenTX. So yes, that is a big concern for me. Plus, I just
don't like upgrading firmwares every day...on anything. 

I apologize if it sounds like I am slamming ELRS. 

I didn't intend to upset anyone, SORRY. 

Actually,  I understand and I am glad that things are moving along because I would like to change 
at some point in time. However, right now the upgrades are just too frequent for me to take the plunge.
In time things will settle down a bit. I do like what ELRS is and where it seems to be going. It makes a nice little
package for tiny whoops and small toothpicks for sure. When this all settles down, I should be able to buy a new
RadioMaster transmitter, buy ELRS gear, install the configurator, and go. 

I do realize that ELRS is still very much a "Beta" product and not fully mature. That is fine. 
I also understand that software in this hobby seems to get released without a lot of testing
and debugging...just create it, throw it out there, let the public test it, and see where it flies.
I guess that is just the nature of the beast. 

I hate what FrSky did with their products; that really bites.

Now, I am still considering TBS Crossfire, but not sure that I want to jump just yet since everything 
that I have still works. 

I am not even sure that the Ghost product will work with my Jumper, but should with a new RadioMaster. 

Hopefully, things will be a bit different when I decide to buy a new RadioMaster. At that time, I will
consider how things are going and I will very likely give ELRS a try. It is certainly worth the money. 

Anyway, I apologize for appearing to be hard on ELRS.

No big deal really  and I am not upset.
But I think you are confusing these updates with something you would have to do every time they come out.
You don't, if the firmware you put on the rx last week works, then there is no reason to update it. Unless there is a new feature you want.
All of these frequent updates are to add new targets that were just brought to market. You can update your stuff, but you don't have too.

When you do upgrade to new Transmitter we will still be here to help with any issues that may arise.  ( but you knew that   )

Scott

Hi Scott,

Yeah, I was looking at like you had to keep updating every time a new version came out.

So what part is it that gets updated with new targets?? Is that just the configurator??
Once you configure a receiver, it is done...no need for updates??

Yes, I think my Jumper is the biggest concern. When I get my next transmitter which
will likely be the RadioMaster TX16S, at least then I can keep flying while I "tinker" around
with one or the other. I hate mess with my Jumper since it is the only transmitter that I
have and don't want to chance messing it up.


Yes, this forum is the GREATEST  for help and support. 

exactly. The configurator is just the program on your PC ( Like Betaflight ) that you use to configure your firmware and flash it to the Rx / Tx.

If you are happy with the features you just flashed then you are done. If they come out with some new features that you would like then you can recompile new firmware and flash it to your gear.  And flashing couldn't be easier. You can plug into the computer with usb and use passthrough or plug in a battery and do it over wifi.  easy peasy.

I think there have only been 4 firmware updates for the rx and tx since our first full version 1.0.0 and these have been mostly safety issues. and one workaround to try and get the bogus Happymodel batch of TX's that had boot issues to work.

It is coming along nicely !!

When you get the tx16  you'll see
