3.3 디스플레이 및 탐색

The 128x64 monochrome LCD display provides clear information. Use the navigation buttons (SYS, RTN, PAGE>, PAGE<, TELE) to move through menus and adjust settings within the EdgeTX operating system.

3.4 Binding and Pairing (ELRS Protocol)

The TX12 MKII supports ExpressLRS (ELRS) and CC2500 RF chips. For ELRS binding, ensure your drone has a compatible ELRS receiver. The power-on pairing method is typically used: power on the drone three consecutive times. Observe the receiver light; it should flash twice continuously, indicating it's in pairing mode. Then, on the remote control, switch to ELRS 2.4G protocol (if not already) and initiate the binding process. The remote control may vibrate, and the receiver light will steady upon successful pairing.

3.5 시뮬레이터 사용

The TX12 MKII can be connected to a computer via its USB-C port for use with flight simulators. This allows for practice and skill development without risking actual models. Ensure the simulator software is configured to recognize the controller as a joystick.
