ZERODRAG 1. Product Description The ZERODRAG Nexus1 receiver is built upon the ExpressLRS project, an open-source RC link designed for various RC applications. ExpressLRS is dedicated to optimizing link performance in terms of speed, latency, and range, positioning itself as one of the fastest RC links with impressive long-range capabilities.
5. Wiring & Configuration For connecting the ZERODRAG Nexus1 receiver to a flight controller using UART1 with the CRSF protocol: Connect Nexus1's TX to UART1 RX of the Flight Controller and Nexus1's RX to UART1 TX of the • Flight Controller.

Save changes and reboot the flight controller by selecting the Save And Reboot on the bottom right corner. Note: These steps, using UART1 as an example, provide a concise guide for integrating ZERODRAG Nexus1 with Betaflight firmware. Depending on the free UARTs available on your flight controller, select the appropriate UART as per your wiring with Nexus1 Receiver.

ZERODRAG 6. Binding You can bind the Nexus1 receiver with your radio controller using two methods, the Bind Phrase method and the Conventional method. In Bind Phrase method your receiver and radio controller will use a unique bind phrase to exclusively establish a connection between them. A single Bind Phrase can be used to connect multiple receivers to a single radio controller.
Initiate the binding status on the transmitter module or the radio transmitter. Once the LED status on the receiver changes to a solid light, the binding process is successful. This concise set of instructions ensures a seamless binding procedure for the Nexus1 ELRS 2.4GHz receiver.
ZERODRAG 7. Binding Verification You can verify the Nexus1 receiver’s communication link in the configurator software you are using. As an example, the real-time input preview from the Betaflight configurator is shown below. When you move the joysticks on the radio controller you should see the data indicators changing in response.
ZERODRAG 8. Troubleshooting Receivers with a single color LED communicate their status as follows: LED Indication Status Slow blink 500ms on/off Waiting for connection from transmitter Fast blinking 25ms on/off WiFi mode enabled Medium speed blink 100ms on/off Radio chip not detected...
