1. 서론
The Happymodel 2.4GHz ELRS nano series receiver is an open-source program based on ExpressLRS. This manual specifically covers the EP1 RX model, which utilizes an STM32L432KBU6 MCU and SX1280 RF chip. It features a built-in ceramic antenna, contributing to its ultra-light and small size. The EP1 receiver is designed for low-latency and high-refresh-rate radio frequency communication, making it suitable for FPV racing and long-range FPV applications, especially for tiny whoops.
The EP1 receiver is an ESP8285 version of the Nano 2.4GHz receiver, sharing the same RF module as the PP RX and using an ESP8285 MCU. Firmware upgrades can be performed via Wi-Fi.

2. Setup: Binding Procedure
Follow these steps to bind your EP1 receiver to your radio transmitter:
- Power Cycle for Binding Mode: Supply power to the EP1 receiver. Wait until the LED on the receiver turns off, then immediately disconnect the power. Repeat this power cycle process two more times. On the third power-up, the LED light will begin to double-flash, indicating that the receiver has entered binding mode.
- 송신기 구성: Insert the ES24TX module or another compatible DIY 2.4G ELRS TX module into your radio transmitter. Configure the External RF mode to CRSF protocol.
- Access ELRS Menu: Access the ELRS menu from your radio's system settings. (Note: You may need to copy the ELRS.LUA file to the SD-Card tools first).
- 바인딩 시작: Within the ELRS menu, select and press the [Bind] option. If the binding is successful, the LED on the receiver module will become solid.

3. Operating: LED Status Indicators
The LED on the EP1 receiver provides important status information:
- 솔리드 LED: Indicates successful binding or an established connection with the transmitter.
- Double-Flash LED: Indicates the receiver is in binding mode, awaiting a connection from the transmitter.
- Slow Flash LED: Indicates no signal connection from the transmitter module.
- Fast Flash LED: Indicates the receiver is in Wi-Fi hotspot mode. In this mode, you can connect to the receiver's Wi-Fi network and upgrade its firmware by visiting 10.0.0.1 (password: expresslrs) in a web 브라우저.
