# EspNow RCLink Transmitter | ||
|
||
Designed for use in small short-range remote-controlled aircraft, vehicles and [ESP-FC](https://github.com/rtlopez/esp-fc) flight controller software. | ||
|
||
Simple implementation of external module with EspNow RcLink protocol. Just upload code to ESP32 module and connect to your transmitters JR bay. | ||
|
||
Module accepts `PPM` signal on `GPIO13` and transmits 8 RC channels. | ||

> [!NOTE] | ||
> Keep eye on power consumption, linear voltage regulator might get hot. Switching regulator (step-down) is recommended if voltage drop is high. | ||
## Flashing | ||
|
||
1. Download and unzip selected firmware from [Releases Page](https://github.com/rtlopez/espnow-rclink-tx/releases) | ||
2. Visit [ESP Tool Website](https://espressif.github.io/esptool-js/) | ||
3. Click "Connect" and choose device port in dialog | ||
4. Add firmware file and set Flash Address to `0x00` | ||
5. Click "Program" | ||
6. After success power cycle board | ||

Your module is redy to use. | ||
|
||
## Using with ESP-FC | ||
|
||
To use [ESP-FC](https://github.com/rtlopez/esp-fc) as receiver just select `SPI Rx (e.g. built-in Rx)` as Receiver mode. Receiver provider doesn't matter here. | ||
|
||

|
||
Transmitter and receiver binds automatically after power up, you don't need to do anything. Recomended startup procedure is: | ||
1. turn on transmitter first | ||
2. next power up receiver/flight controller |
