USEFUL LINK for people using the Multiprotocol modules
in the Taranis and Jumper T12 transmitters.


github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md

This is the updated documentation describing all the protocols that are available on these modules.
Note two things however:
1) You may need to update the firmware in the module (not the transmitter firmware) to get all the protocols.
2) The descriptive text is provided by the transmitter not the module so you may have to enter the actual numbers under "Custom". Jumper T12 owners should NOT update their transmitter firmware from the OpenTX site as the Jumper transmitter uses a non-standard version of OpenTX that is supported by Jumper only.

And no, that isn't a real micro transmitter above but a concept from a cyber-punk web site!

 


​Mark Christian of Micronwings has put a nice summary of small brushed motor and gearbox ROTATION conventions on his webpage

Worth reading the whole page. Link here.

A source of small brushed speed controllers with good current capability.
​And a very small brushless 3A ESC.

This AiliExpress vendor has a number of interesting ESCs for 1S applications

Please note, The information presented here is hopefully useful but is not an endorsement by 'Indoor Aviation' of the products or services
