Have you, or can you, do a similar video for the Jumper T-Pro ELRS edition? I have both radios and the Jumper has me about to tearing my hair out. Thanks again!!!!

Glad my video helped you. I don't have a Jumper T-Pro so I can't do a video on it. The process should be pretty much identical though. When they use the same firmware, the firmware governs the process. The only thing that might be different are the physical knobs/buttons.

My radio master radio says USB Serial (VCP) not (Debug) Any ideas?

hello and thank you again for this great video. Too bad I didn't see it earlier. I am looking for an original copy of the sd card for the zorro elrs because it has been working very badly since my last manipulations. cordially from France.

Thanks for the amazing video! I was just wondering if USB serial (VCP) and USB serial (Debug) are the same? My newer version of the zorro says USB serial (VCP) and i was wondering if something was wrong?

@RCVideoReviews

They're not the same. VCP is Virtual Com Port and is used to flash internal modules like ELRS. Not the 4-in-1 though. Glad you liked the video.

Well, my new zorro elrs version 3.0 is not build and flashing. I did not update the edge tx. I'm pulling my hair out. Any help will be great

Thanks for the Radiomaster and EdgeTX videos. Can anyone confirm what colour the Zorro power switch light should be during charging? Mines red when connected up to charge (but my TX16S is green). Just wondering if something is amiss? Thanks.

Hey.. ijust stuck in ce mode100mw, any solution for that?

I just got a radiomaster zorro 4in1 with TBS crossfire nano external module. I just bought the geprc rocket plus tbs crossfire edition as well. I updated the external module, then paired it with reciever on drone. Flashing blue light (means update now going to drone module) then now solid green on drone and remote. I know remote is paired because it says telemetry lost if drone is powered off. Now, I have solid green lights on both drone and remote external module. Both are paired. But when trying to get stick feedback on betaflight or receiver feedback at all, nothing. I move drone around with my hand on 3D model betaflight first page, drone moves. But nothing on reciever tab. I tried serial uart, crsf module. I tried disabling abc filter on zorro remote settings (tells you to do that on betaflight settings). I need help please. Its got to be something in betaflight is wrong settings wise. I looked up youtube videos for days. Can never find a tbs crossfire setup on zorro, only elrs. Thank you in advance!

I have a Zorro 4 in 1 i noticed on the website there is an ELRS radio module, is it difficult to remove 4 in 1 and install the ELRS module furthermore is it compatible ................. or am I just better off buying a Ranger ELRS 2.4 ghz module that can attach to the bay ??

I haven't tried the swap, so I don't know if any pieces are required outside of the rf chip/board itself like mounting brackets. It certainly doesn't hurt to have a module on the back, but you lose some of the compactness of the Zorro if you do that.

for some reason, it fail when finished the process for flashing to V3. Im missing something?

Every single time I try and flash my zorro it gives me an error? I haven’t been able to flash to the new or older versions to be able to bind to my mobula7 elrs Idk what I’m doing wrong no way binding zorro to mob7 is this difficult

All was going well until the last step to copy lua file over, first came up with error in the radio , said the syntax was incorrect, disconnected, resaved file and tried again and now radio booted with a bad config message and seems to have reset everything, the expressLRS system tab, just is stuck on loading.. any tips to find my way back? edit , saw my mistake: i didn't delete the compiled lua script ending luac

Can't really help with questions like "reset everything" and "syntax was incorrect" What indicates anything was reset? What were you doing when you saw a message of "syntax incorrect" If the ELRS lua is stuck on loading, that usually means the module is not turned on in the model setup. Under model, turn on ELRS. For further help, please join my discord and ask there. Every video has an invite.

Two things I would try: 1) Set your baud rate on the radio to 115k. 2) Try a different cable. If you can update EdgeTX you "should" work for updating ELRS because they're using the same components to communicate from PC to radio. If that doesn't work, I suggest getting on the ELRS discord and seeing if they can help out. I haven't encountered this error, so anything I suggest is speculative.

Radio settings are in radio.yml. If you copy that file, you have a backup of your settings. Model files are in modelxx.yml. You can backup all of your settings (model and radio) by copying \MODELS and \RADIO from your radio to your backup location.

So with 2.6 it's ready to go right
