I need a complete ExpressLRS-based 2.4 GHz solution designed from scratch, covering both the transmitter module and the matching receiver unit. This is a brand-new product, so nothing can be copied from an existing board. Scope of work • Electronic design: create schematics, select RF front-end, MCU, power stage, and filtering suitable for reliable 2.4 GHz operation under ELRS requirements. • PCB layout: optimise for low noise, clean RF paths, correct impedance, and size/weight appropriate for FPV use. • Firmware hooks: prepare pin mapping and reference code so ELRS firmware can be flashed and tested right away. Full ELRS compliance is mandatory. • Supporting files: BOM with readily available parts, production-ready Gerbers, and a brief bring-up guide. Key points • Deliver both transmitter and receiver boards. • Prior RF work or proven ELRS experience is highly valued. • I’m looking to move fast, so please outline realistic turnaround times for schematic, layout, and first-article files. • I will prototype in-house; rapid assistance during initial bring-up is expected. Dimensions: Small 20*15-20 Weight: 0.7 g (RX only) Chips: ESP8285, SX1281 Crystal Oscillator: TCXO Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz ISM Refresh Rate: 25 Hz – 1000 Hz Input Voltage: 5V Antenna Connector: IPEX1 Telemetry power 100mw 2 layer pcb if possible. If you can take this from concept to manufacturing-ready files quickly and confidently, I’m eager to get started.

Hi I am an embedded systems engineer with over 16 years of experience. I have extensive experience taking compact RF and consumer-grade products from concept through schematic, controlled-impedance PCB layout, firmware bring-up, testing, and manufacturing release. I can develop the original 2.4 GHz ELRS transmitter and receiver around the ESP8285, SX1281, and TCXO, with careful attention to RF matching, filtering, power integrity, thermal performance, antenna placement, and FPV size/weight constraints. I will also prepare the ELRS pin mapping and reference configuration, an availability-conscious BOM, Gerbers, source design files, and a practical bring-up guide, followed by rapid assistance with your first prototypes. A realistic schedule is 5 days for architecture, component selection, and schematics; 8 days for both PCB layouts and design checks; and 4 days for production files, firmware hooks, and documentation. The remaining time allows for review and refinements. I will assess whether two layers can reliably meet the RF, power, and 0.7 g RX targets before locking the stack-up. Please confirm the required transmitter output power, transmitter-module dimensions/interface, and whether the 100 mW figure applies to receiver telemetry output. Please contact me to discuss details.

Hi, I'd be excited to help develop your ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz transmitter and receiver from the ground up. This project requires careful RF design, impedance-controlled PCB layout, and seamless ELRS integration to achieve reliable performance in a compact form factor. I have experience designing RF and embedded hardware with ESP32-family MCUs, switching power supplies, and high-speed PCB layouts. My approach is to optimize the RF path, matching network, grounding, power filtering, and antenna layout while keeping the design manufacturable and suitable for a 2-layer PCB where practical. Estimated timeline: **3–5 days** for schematics, **5–7 days** for PCB layout, and **2–3 days** for BOM, Gerbers, and bring-up documentation. A couple of questions: 1. Do you have target RF output, range, or regulatory requirements beyond standard ELRS? 2. Will the transmitter use a standard JR module interface or a custom enclosure?

I have designed RF boards with controlled-impedance routing, TCXO-based timing, low-noise power supplies, and manufacturable layouts optimized for reliable wireless performance and first-pass bring-up. Approach ✅ I will define the transmitter and receiver architectures, select the RF front-end, ESP8285, SX1281, TCXO, power circuitry, and matching network while ensuring full ELRS hardware compatibility. ✅ I will design compact 2-layer PCBs with controlled RF impedance, optimized grounding, short RF paths, proper filtering, and careful component placement to achieve stable 2.4 GHz performance within the required size and weight targets. ✅ I will prepare ELRS-compatible pin mapping, reference firmware configuration, perform ERC/DRC verification, and deliver editable design files, Gerbers, BOM, bring-up documentation, and production-ready outputs. Questions ✅ Do you have preferred reference hardware or performance targets (range, latency, and receiver sensitivity) beyond standard ELRS compliance? ✅ Should the transmitter module follow a standard JR/Nano module form factor, or is this a completely custom mechanical design? ✅ Is the 100 mW telemetry output required for both the transmitter and receiver, or only for the receiver telemetry link?

Hi, I can design the complete 2.4 GHz ExpressLRS transmitter and receiver hardware from scratch, including schematic, RF layout, BOM, Gerbers, pin mapping, and bring-up support. The best solution is to first confirm the exact TX/RX size limits, RF output target, antenna layout, power budget, and ELRS firmware requirements. I’ll then design around ESP8285, SX1281, TCXO, 5V input, IPEX1 antenna, filtering, regulation, impedance-controlled RF routing, and proper grounding/noise isolation for stable 2.4 GHz operation. I’m comfortable with RF PCB design, ESP8285/SX1281 hardware, ELRS-style modules, 2.4 GHz layout, TCXO integration, power stages, antenna matching, compact PCB routing, BOM preparation, Gerbers, and prototype bring-up. Deliverables will include: * TX and RX schematics * Compact PCB layouts * ESP8285/SX1281 integration * TCXO and RF front-end design * 5V power regulation * IPEX1 antenna interface * ELRS pin mapping/reference code hooks * BOM with orderable parts * Gerber and production files * Bring-up and flashing guide I’ll aim for a 2-layer design where RF performance and manufacturability allow, and will clearly flag if a 4-layer stack is safer for reliability. I’ll focus on a clean, lightweight, manufacturing-ready design suitable for fast prototype testing. Best regards Ankit
