Overview

  • To benefit from the higher bitrate of 400 kilobits per second using OpenTX/EdgeTX you need to add a pull-up resistor to the inverter of the serial port on the R9M 2018🗻🆙
  • Strongly suggested being done for anybody looking for higher than standard packet rates using ExpressLRS 🔮

Identification

⚠️ This is only required for the 2018 version of the module which has a ACCST logo on the case 🔍

Modification
