        PWM Control  For setups without flight control and receivers that do not have CRSF capability, such as R/C cars or boats,  we have enabled a control for the button via PWM control. You can connect a PWM channel to the CRSF  RX1 port and simply move a switch from low to high to press and high to low to depress the button.

        Installation / Mounting  When installing the Unify EVO, please ensure adequate airflow during flight. Up to power levels of 200mW,  no airflow is less critical. With higher power setting airflow is required to maintain the set power level.  In case there is no or not enough airflow to maintain the temperature limit, the Unify EVO will slowly ...

    CRSF  CRSR is a protocol designed by Team BlackSheep and championed through the TBS Crossfire remote  control system. It has been integrated into most popular remote controls, is a incredibly high bandwidth  (low latency) full duplex, serial data transmission protocol. It comes with native functionality such as OTA ...

This ensures interruption-free racing, even with multiple video  transmitters changing channels, or powering up.
