File 03 · ELRS Receiver
An ExpressLRS receiver, open from antenna to firmware.
Four board designs, one firmware. Lite runs SX1281 on 2.4 GHz with a ceramic antenna. Lite-UFL swaps to a U.FL pigtail. Mono steps up to a single LR1121 for multi-band. Gemini runs dual LR1121 in ExpressLRS Xrossband mode for frequency-diverse links.
