Dual 1W Output Power

BetaFPV SuperG Nano Transmitter has two RF chips, each boasting a powerful 1W transmission power. This power level with a combination of the LoRa radio transmission technology can get you 100Km range and beyond.

Active cooling system

Transmitter module casing is made of CNC aluminum alloy with efficient thermal conductivity, complemented by heatsink with active cooling fan for optimal heat dissipation.

Antenna Diversity, True Diversity and Gemini mode

In the Antenna Diversity mode, two antennas are employed, and they are alternated regularly to assess the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) value of the signal. This assessment helps determine which antenna should be used for data reception.

In the True Diversity mode, receiver uses two radio chips, each connected to a different antenna. Both antennas receive data on the same frequency simultaneously and the antenna that has the strongest reception at any given time is used.

Meanwhile, in the advanced Gemini mode, two radio chips and two antennas simultaneously receive data with a 40MHz frequency difference. They also transmit telemetry data concurrently but on the different frequencies. This unique approach allows the reception of identical data packets on distinct frequencies and antennas. Gemini mode excels in maintaining stable flight, even in complex radio environments.

BetaFPV SuperG Dual Diversity Transmitter offers two customizable buttons and a USB Type-C port for . RGB LED for TX status display and 2 LEDs for each antenna status display.

Custom Buttons

BetaFPV SuperG Nano Transmitter reserves 2 buttons that can be customized by users. Here are the specific steps to operate:

1. Enable the transmitter’s WiFi or power it on and wait for 60 seconds to enter WiFi mode using LUA programming.
2. The RGB indicator light will slowly flash in green, indicating that the transmitter has automatically enabled WiFi (WiFi name: ExpressLRS TX, WiFi password: expresslrs). 
3. Connect your smartphone or computer to the WiFi network and open a web browser. Enter http://10.0.0.1 to access the custom button settings page.
4. In the corresponding button’s Action column, select the desired custom function. Then, choose the button type and the number of presses or duration in the Press and Count columns. Click SAVE to complete the settings.

Currently, there are 6 available functions that can be assigned to shortcut buttons. There are 2 ways to use the buttons: long-press and short-press. The duration of a long press can be customized, while the number of presses for a short press can also be customized. The following are the 6 functions that can be set:?

The pictures below show the functionality of the transmitter in its factory default settings. (The left button is Button1 and the right button is Button2).

BetaFPV ELRS TX modules comparison table

Power consumption and external power

When the dual transmit power exceeds 500mW, the BetaFPV SuperG Nano Transmitter exhibits relatively high power consumption, leading to a reduced battery life. To prolong the transmitter’s usage time, it is advisable to utilize an external battery as a power source.

The power consumption of the transmitter is not only related to the transmit power but also to the telemetry ratio. When using high power of 500mW and above, the return ratio can be set higher to reduce power consumption and extend use time.
For example, in Gemini mode, the power consumption of setting the return ratio to 1:128 is 1000mA, while the power consumption of setting the return ratio to 1:2 is only half of 1:128.

Note: When the voltage of the radio transmitter battery or external battery is lower than 7V (2S) or 10.5V (3S), please use the Gemini mode of 500mW and 1W carefully, otherwise the transmitter will enter the restart state due to insufficient power supply, resulting in disconnection out of control.

DIY ExpressLRS TX Nano module

Remarks

DIY Nano TX module build uses modular design it means it uses pre build modules. Only a few additional components are used (one resistor and one capacitor). Almost anyone could build this TX module with little soldering experience.?

Nano sized DIY TX module can be installed in the full and nano size JR module case. It can be even installed inside the radio as it is really small.

TX Parts list

Parts list starts from PCB. I have ordered the PCB on OSH Park?(https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/K4feONmv).?The cost of PCB was $7.10?for?3pcs.

The original gerber files for PCB manufacturing can be found here:?

https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS-Hardware/tree/master/PCB/2400MHz/TX_SX1280_Super_Slim

I have purchased all the electronic parts from Aliexpress as it was the cheapest source.

E28-2GM27S LoRa module (~$14) –?https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001812234542.html

ESP-WROOM-32? module (~$5) –?https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001833545594.html

DC-DC power supply?module (~$2.5) – https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32880983608.html

SMA antenna pigtail (~ $0.5/pcs) –?https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000848776660.html

Also you will need 10uF SMD capacitor (3528 or type B size) and the 10k?SMD resistor (0402 size).

Other things you will need: 5 pin 2.54mm header socket, silicone wires and of course a soldering iron set.

Build process

Soldered the ESP32-WROOM module and 10k resistor and 10uF capacitor. Soldering the resistor is the trickiest part as resistor is tiny (0402 size).

After the ESP32 module is soldered, you need to tempararily solder the RX, TX, 3.3V and GND wires. Connect these wires to the corresponding pins on the FTDI or any other USB to serial adapter. You can even use Arduino board. Don’t forget to short the BOOT pads for flashing the firmware by UART.

At this stage I would recommend to flash the ExpressLRS firmware to the ESP32-WROOM-32 module. For

Start the ExpressLRS Configurator. You can download it from here:?https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS-Configurator/releases/?

Select “DIY 2.4 GHz” as Device category and “DIY 2400 TX ESP32 SX12800 E28” as Device.

Select UART as Flashing Method.

Read more about the flashing the ExpressLRS here:

ExpressLRS Open Source Long Range radio control system – Complete Guide

Press [Build & Flash]. Wait several minutes for it to compile.

And flashing successful!

Now you can unsolder the FTDI (USB to Serial) adapter.

Next step solder the JR bay connector.

Prepare the power (voltage regulator) module. Short the 5V and 12V pads on the back side of the DC-DC regulator module. This will set the regulator to output the 3.45V, which is slightly more than 3.3V, but within the 5% tolerance of the modules.?

Turn the variable resistor to the clockwise end position (more about it below).

And solder the module to the EN, VBAT, G and 3V3 with the help of the pin headers.

I also would like to suggest to connect the ExpressLRS module to the JR bay, power the radio, enable the External module in the model setup and measure the voltage between the GND and VO+ pads. It should be slightly more than 3.3V, the recommended voltage is 3.45V. In my case I have measured the voltage 3.58V, which is in the range of the absolute maximum voltage ratings (+10%) for the ESP32 and E28 modules, but its not recommended to operate the modules at this voltage, so I have turned slightly the dial on the variable resistor to set the 3.45V, which is 5% more than standard power voltage for modules. In theory E28 module should be happy to have a slight voltage overhead.

I need to notice, that at this point the ESP32 and E28 modules are not powered as the Reg En jumper pads are not connected.

Once the power voltage is set and verified, you can short the?Reg En solder pads and solder the E28-2GM27S module.

Another tricky part is to switch the zero Ohm resistor from the PCB antenna to the external (ipex) antenna position. I ended up just making the solder blob between the two pads as the resistor is zero ohms anyway.

Completely assembled with all the antennas connected. Notice that 3.3V?power line Reg En jumper pads are soldered near the top right corner of the PCB board.

“Super slim” PCB variant of the ExpressLRS TX module fits easily in the JR case. Should also fit into the JR Nano case or even inside the radio as internal module.

Power output tests

It is curious what RF power output does DIY ExpressLRS module gives. I have connected the ImmersionRC power meter to the antenna output of the DIY ExpressLRS module. The ExpressLRS module RF power output was set to 10mW, Dynamic power set to OFF. I’ve measured the exactly the 10mW of the power output.

At the 100mW output setting I’ve measured the 115mW output.

And at the 250mW?setting my RF power meter measured?255mW?of the RF output.?

The 250mW output is stable, E28-2GM27S RF module does not heat up too much so no fan is needed.

?

DIY ExpressLRS Nano Receiver

Remarks

DIY ExpressLRS Nano receiver uses 0402 size components. They are small as 1.0 x 0.5mm (0.040″ x 0.020″). It is almost impossible or at least it is very hard to solder these components without hot air gun. You will need proper equipment and soldering skills for soldering this small RX.

RX Parts list

I have ordered the PCB on?OSH Park?(https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/yYtMC9D3).?The cost of PCB was $3.00?for 6pcs. That’s $0.5 for one piece. Cheap as beans.

Here is the diagram of the EBYTE E28-2G4M12S module components for reuse in ELRS receiver.

The only other components you need to get are:

0402 size LED diode, 0402 size 1uF and 2.2uF capacitors

MIC5219-3.3 or MIC5319-3.3 voltage regulator – https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33047428186.html

2.4GHz low pass filter (ballun) – 2450FM07D0034T or 2450FM07A0029T. These are harder to get. Look for it on Mouser or DigiKey.

You will definitely need the RX antenna also.

Build process

The PCB and the components are so tiny, that you need definitely need the magnifying glass, hot air soldering gun, precision tweezers and SMD soldering paste. You will have to apply the soldering paste, place the SMD components on the back side of the receiver first, solder them with a help of hot air gun and then repeat the same on the top side of the receiver.

Photos of the soldered DIY ELRS Receiver.

After the ESP-01F module is soldered, you need to solder the RX, TX, 3.3V and GND wires. Connect these wires to the corresponding pins on the FTDI or any other USB to serial adapter. You can also use Arduino Uno board for USB to serial adapter. Don’t forget to short the BOOT pads on the RX board for flashing the firmware by UART.

Package contents

You will get the T-Lite V2 radio, Antenna, USB Type-C cable, external nano sized module bay and a case for two 18650 batteries.

T-Lite V2 differences from V1

• The power supply circuit improved
• The main MCU was changed
• The internal ELRS module option
• Power led indicator changed
• Slightly brighter color

More on each of the changes are described below

Closer look

Radio hasn’t changed much. The only visible changes – radio power indicator led was changed to the led with less brightness and the T-Lite V2 has slightly brighter gray color.

A lot of warnings on the stickers.

On the top side of the radio you will find the same USB Type-C and trainer sockets. Also the SD card slot with preinstalled SD Card and SMA type antenna connector.

Inside the radio

Inside the radio you will find the same hall effect gimbals, switches, nothing has changed except the main board.

The main board was redesigned. The changes are mainly for the power supply part of the radio.

The main MCU was changed from STM32F205 to some cheaper cloned CKS32F407 MCU. Probably the chip shortage and skyrocketed prices influenced it. While it is cheaper MCU (cloned from STM32F407VGT6) it has ~25% faster clock speed and twice more the flash size (1 Mb compared to 512 Kb). So faster and bigger is better.

The lion battery charging circuit is located on the separate PCB which also populates the external module bay connector.

The battery charging process is controlled by simple and widely popular TP4056 IC.

External module bay

External module connector is hidden under the sticker on the back side of the radio. This connector was inaccessible from the outside in the T-Lite V1 and required opening the radio in order to connect the external module cable to the radio mainboard. You don’t need to to open the T-Lite V2 and it makes the installation of the external module bay much easier.

The external module bay connection cable lengh was ok for the T-Lite V1 radio, as the connector was inside the radio and mosto of the cable stays inside. However on the T-Lite V2 this connector cable is way too long and stick outside.

I had to trimm and solder the wires to make the cable shorter.

Clear and neat installation – no cables are seen.

The power supply in the T-Lite V2 is capable of providing the enough current to the higher power external modules. Quick test with Jumper AION TX module on 500mW setting confirmed if – no problem with power supply. It was unable to use power hungry external TX modules on the T-Lite V1 – not enough current and modules were tending to shut down.

Battery notes

Jumper T-Lite radio is designed to use the lion 18650 batterie with the button top.

Simple hack enabling to use the batteries with flat ends is to bend the battery tabs inwards. After this small mod you can use the most common lion 18650 batteries with flat end.

I also marked the polarity of the battery with a marker to make sure it is installed in correct way. There is a warning sticker saying that inserting the battery in reverse polarity will damage your devce. I have accidentally inserted the battery in reverse several times, however it did no harm to the T-Lite V2 radio.

RF power output test

I have testedthe RF power output of the Jumper T-Lite V2 ELRS Radio. On the 10 mW setting (Dynamic power set to OFF) it outputs almost exactly the 10 mW

On the maximal 100mW power setting (Dynamic power set to OFF) radio outputs 124 mW.

There is no 150 mW output setting in the ELRS firmware for the Jumper AION T-Lite ELRS module despite the specifications on the Jumper website.

T-Lite V2 internal ELRS module firmware upgrade

The T-Lite ExpressLRS TX module can be upgraded by WiFi, EdgeTX passthrough or UART. WiFi and EdgeTX passthrough are recommended as UART method requires additional hardware and is the most complicated one.

Upgrade by WiFi

Go to ExpressLRS LUA script on the radio, select WiFi connectivity and enable WiFi. Then open the url http://10.0.0.1 on your web browser. Select the UPDATE tab and choose firmware file.

Hi the update button and wait for the firmware to update.

ExpressLRS firmware successfully updated!

Update by EdgeTX serial passthrough

EdgeTX has ability to connect directly to the internal TX module. This is called EdgeTX serial passthrough. It can be enabled by connecting the radio to the PC by USB TypeC cable and selecting the “USB Serial (VCP)” option in the popup menu on the radio.

After this you should see the Serial port device in the Device manager, however it didn’t worked on my pc at first. All I could see were some Jumper TLite Serial Port and USB Serial Device with exclamation marks, meaning that these devices don’t work properly or the device drivers are incorrect.

I downloaded the STM32 virtual serial port drivers from the STM32 MCU manufacturer website. Here is the link (or you can google it): https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-stm32102.html

After I installed the driver it worked like charm. Now I can see the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port device in my Device Manager.

Once your T-Lite Radio EdgeTX serial passthrough is working, you can open the ExpressLRS Configurator and select the EdgeTxPassThrough as Flashing method.

Choose COMxx STMicroelectronics as serial port from the drop down below. Hit the BUILD & FLASH button and wait for the firmware to be updated.

ExpressLRS firmware successfully updated.

Don’t forget to download the newest ExpressLRS lua script after the TX module update. Especially if you are upgrading from the versions 1.0 or 2.0. You can download the Lua script from here https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS/tree/master/src/lua or from the ExpressLRS Configurator.

Place it on the radio SD card folder \SCRIPTS\.

ExpressLRS Lua script in action.

Things I don’t like

The menu navigation buttons are definitely too small. Unfortunately this is due to the extremely compact radio size. Actually the radio is so small that sometimes I wish it was just a bit bigger.

I would swap the upper three position switches with the lower two position switches as I use the top one for arming and the two position is just enough for this task.

Things I like

T-Lite is the most compact full featured OpenTX/EdgeTX radio in the market. I really like it’s compact size and from. It is very convenient to carry this radio in the backpack. T-Lite is half the size of the full sized radio.

Only one Lion 18650 battery is needed and it lasts for hours. You can also bring another one for the backup battery.
