I have a similar set up to this post, TX: RM Boxer, RX: RM RP3, FC: Matek F405-WING V2 with all up to date firmware. I have completed all the steps such as changing the protocols to Mavlink on both TX and RX but I have the elrs version of the Boxer, so no backpack. From what I am understanding I can not plug the TX into mission planner with a usb nor use a wifi connection, but correct me if I’m wrong.
What solutions are possible for this?
Currently I am wondering if a DIY solution would be to use an esp32 with wifi and plug it into the pins in the JR compartment and use that as the wifi Mavlink scource, I have no idea if this is possible tho.
Doesn’t Boxer ELRS module have backpack? From what I have heard there’s are like one or two bqckpackless modules and they are old and on the budget side of things.
Every ELRS V3.0+ module (2023+) must have a wifi-capable backpack. The RM Boxer too.
Follow the guide and flash both TX and TX backpack. It is feasible to run an AccessPoint on the device that hosts the GroundControlStation and provision the backpack with the wifi id and password before flashing.
To make it work on first attempt, on Linux do something like
sudo ufw allow 14550/udp
On Windows you have to fight with Windows Defender to free up port 14550. It’s a hassle to do so with Windows 10 and newer. USB does not work with internal modules.
Thank you! I am new to all this and thought a backpack was something you physically put on the controller. I updated the backpack firmware and it works!
