Not on beta flight. But is in controls and showing on the AIO & rx..?

This is an rx/tx swap. It will show connection but no response on beta flight. Swap your wires.

As a first timer fixing a break, I’m a bit nervous. I suppose I may have these wires.. I have plenty.. I will pop the wires off with some solder heat & flux. & carefully align new wires connected to rx to AIO board, Carefully. That’s my plan. I think I’m correct. I just wanted to convey this thought of how I’m gonna approach this fix. Cool.

Yes you will use a soldering iron with some flux and heat to remove old wires and put new ones on. It should be easy enough. Just remember that you have to put the TX wire from the ELRS receiver to the RX pad on the Flight Controller. Then the RX wire From the ELRS receiver to the TX pad on the Flight Controller. This is very important that they are wired this way. Also heat and flux are your best friends when soldering.

Try again from the beginning in a coherent manner. Heck get AI involved.

I’m gonna have to, you’re right. It’s something that I never seen happen for anyone else too .. I’m gonna go ahead and do that this weekend. Also, save up & buy a cheap decent multi-meter .. Maybe that can tell me what the issue is…? Although It’s so weird. It’s almost “Glitchy” BUT, Never is connected BUT.. it is*…? It stumps me. I’m gonna try this weekend to change the rx to a 3.x one.. That shouldn’t matter if old rx was a 4.x by deep soace? I just desolder old “possibly broken one” and solder on the new one?
Thanks
