ExpressLRS has no LQ threshold. really? (How to set up RSSI and LQ warning)

Love the very end. Dad problems 🤣😂👍👍🇺🇸

one question since i dont know why i have an issue: I see at my radiomaster, that rssi and link quality are in a good range an seem to work. when I go far away from my quad it gets lower and lower so that makes sense. But somehow my osd show link quality of 0% and -130 rssi dbm. are there any settings to adjust for this?

I keep getting a low rssi dBm warning on my osd while flying with elrs with a packet rate of 250. My LQ also just says 0 all the time. How do I set this up properly?

A video on antenna orientation would be very helpful, not finding one that’s in depth.

Great information Joshua. Thanks. I have an analogue Rekon35 ELRS built in connected to a Jumper T Lite. All good even arming works. Just can't seem to get the link quality to display on the OSD (it always says zero with the flashing warning). Where did I go wrong in Betaflight?

I do get up to -36dbm on my jumper t-pro (builtin elrs 1000mw) with an RX SX1280 receiver (with ceramic antenna). But my lua script doesn't allow me to set the tx power to 10mw, minimum I can set is 25mw.

great thx

I've seen my LQ drop to 70 on 50meters distance, onboard elrs receiver with ceramic antenna

Hi joshua. im newbee into FPV. just watched your old video where you setup RSSI through open TX on your X9D and sent it as a seperate AUX channel from your TX to RX and From FC you choose RSSI aux to that corresponding channel. do i need to do all these in ELRS too? or just connect in TX RX VCC GND and im good to go?

Just a question, how do i convert the rssi/lq to the standard 99 like xfire.

What does an RFMD of 9 mean? I thought they only went from 1-7 but my OSD on both ELRS quads I have display '9:100' in the OSD. I should be running at 500hz

I'm glad I saw. I almost emailed you about my DBM values. I'm glad to know EVERYONE has semi low DBM when your literally sitting in the room with the quad! My LQ never drops below 100 for more than millisecond though. Using expresslrs without a lua script is a little iffy.

Very helpful! Just switch all my kwads over to ELRS this week and I feel like I'm covered for warnings now. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this. You always have exactly what I need to setup. Just setup my BF warnings and RC warnings based on the -10db from min recommendation

Thanks, just used this to set up my new Elrs OSD.

Thank you. But what if i am using dji goggle with lq dbm osd

I'm flying behind some trees and my LQ went down to 7 : 30 for a few seconds from around 7 : 98 with Rssi Dbm of -93. I didn't notice any loss of control or anything weird. As I came out from behind the tree it went back to 7 : 98. I wonder if link gets worse will it switch down to a lower RF mode like 6 : 99 or 5 : 99? Or will I failsafe at a low 7 RF mode number?

Hey thank you for your help Joshua. But for some reason my Lq reads and stays at zero for some reason on my osd. All though my rssi dbm is showing the gains and drops. 🤔 I would love to just have the Lq read 2:100 or something but it all stays at 0:0. What am I doing wrong and as for my other quad I cannot seem to manage on CLI command -107 to set my osd rssi dbm alarm as on my transmitter it is on -117 but through cLI command It will only allow me to add positive number for some reason 0-130 I don’t know why. Any quick suggestions. Thank you 😊

I've been gone for 2+ years, still have my full TBS Crossfire... what is this express LRS stuff lol.... as long as I can still get my LQ and dbm on my dji's ( just watched your other very helpful video on that) thank you so much!!

Can we put same in DJI osd?

My lq drops down to 80 to 65 after 500 meters? My rssi dbm is good, what can it be?

I'm having a problem with an RX jumper ep01 it's accusing RX Lost and critical signal and sometimes it doesn't even connect with the radio I don't know what to do anymore if possible a help there I appreciate it.

If future Josh and past Josh ever comment together in a video a wormhole will form in a bando

Here trying to figure out an issue I'm having with ELRS and at the end of this video i'm just more confused than before... I have 2 identical receivers (Jumper AION) 1 has 98-100 LQ at a 1meter distance... the other oscillates between 25-70LQ I inspected the antenna and found that one of the poles had broken so I soldered it back on and the LQ sat at 80-95 for about 10 seconds before reverting to oscillating between 25 and 70. Does anyone have similar experiences? Also if it is just an antenna issue what antennas are compatible with ELRS Receivers?

I updated my elrs to 2.4 and my lq is blinking.. what do I need to do to get that to work again

I’ve just moved to ELRS and have a stalled it in my Baby Croc 5 which came with Crossfire. Can I use the Crossfire antenna (because it fits better with the stock TPU mount) and expect the same performance as the ELRS stock T-antenna?

Do you still do this with betaflight 4.3 rc3 and using expresslrs in the tools menu of the zorro transmitter

I followed your steps but I'm not seeing rssi dbm value in my dji goggles (I am able to see my other custom osd elements however). Any tips on what else I could do? Thanks.

I'm using expressLRS and my LQ is 8?

Thank you, I did learn something today.

Why didn't you consider switching the transmitter module out as well while "troubleshooting" your receiver?
I'm honestly asking because I'm thinking wouldn't the received dB get worse on the rX as well when the tX is having its own issues? (meaning if your module had had an issue and you switched it for an undamaged one would the 1RSS also get better?)
Trying to wrap my head around the relation between transmitter RSS and receiver RSS which Crossfire shows for basically every present antenna...)

anyhow, thanks a lot for the insights so far <3

You can just single press that "SYS" button to get to tools?

I had damaged after a big crash

I'll stick to crossfire

I just installed my first elrs module and receiver thank to your comprehensive tutorials! I've never been so fearful of frying things and accomplished when it all worked. Thank you for all of this!

how can you get this working with digital fpv dji?

Are this alarms working on dji OSD ?

Why when select discover new sensor i can only see 10 valúes?, and i cant see the battery sensor

500hz at 7% LQ is still 35 packets getting through each second.. so.. jittery, but more than 25hz. 😋

I shall endeavor to use my talents, and crash test some LRS devices ...always stick with your strengths...lok

If I change the rssi_offset parameter, will it affect the RSSIdBm readings? Or the normal RSSI only?
I have -45 dBm at 2 meters (25mW, 500Hz) but I'd like to shift this reading to 0 dBm.

@JoshuaBardwell would it be possible to have a tuition video on setting up the radio to read out a link quality please? Previously used your read out low voltage but as link quality is the focus for good connection now, it would be a much appreciated tutorial. I've had a go but not quite figured it out :-)

I made it almost a mile out with my Geprc Phantom and I started to run into some serious control issues. Is there something that I might be missing? And excellent video!

how to show lq on dji googles osd with jumper t-lite

So do I need to update the betaflight version on the quad? None of these setting are available I have rssi and lq that's it.

I get at 1RSS positive 46 dbm is that a problem?

Thanks!

Thank you so much Josh!!!!

ELRS ftw guys. Hands down.
