Great instructions! However, I got confused when powering on my babyape pro v2, it went to bind mode immediately without the need to connect/disconnect 3 times. I kept doing it over and over again wondering why the lights and the beeps were the same no matter if connected once, or 3 times. To be clear, after only one connect, it would do the double beep and the tx led was double blinking like it should when in bind mode. Finally I just decided to try and bind it and it worked. I'm pretty new to all of this and it was a little frustrating that it acted differently than everyone said it would. I'm posting this in case someone else runs into the same anomoly. Happy flying! and thanks again for the tutorial, it was very informative.
Hi Bart, thanks for sharing this, this is something I might have overlooked, as when I was making this video I have already bind it many times, and to force the receiver into binding mode, plug and unplug 3 times is the way to go.LOL Good to know it has worked right out of the box. Happy flying!
@@iFLYXWings6589 Mine came with 3.0 on it already so I didn't have to flash. But my controller was 2.5 so it wasn't binding. At first I thought the babyape wasn't going into bind mode. And that's what brought me to your fine channel. I soon figured out that the problem was in my controller and that I had to upgrade it, and then like magic, it bound. I learned a lot today, thank you 👍
Trying to do this with the baby ape pro v2. I dont have wifi on my computer. what do I select instead when flashing the drone? BetaflightPassthrough or UART? Technically I'm plugged into the FC through the bottom of the drone so I'm leaning toward passthrough but I want to double check. Thanks for the video! This whole process has been one big headache, I'd be 100% lost without these tutorials.
Frankly speaking, I never tried doing this via betalight passthrough, so i don’t think I will be much help here. Flashing via Wifi is still the easiest option, but the next option might be to flash via betaflight passthrough. But If you drone is received recently, it might already have ELRS 3.0 already. Anyway, glad that at least I helped a little
You will need to set it up yourself. Go to ELRS LUA Script - Enable wifi - Connect the WIFI using a PC - Setup your binding phrase in the webpage that pops out - Save & Reboot. (Sorry, i understand this is complicated

Hi, I ordered the darwin BABY Ape II kit( goggles, drone, batts,...included), I was wondering If i need to do the same things with mine too, Thanks Nice video!!
Well not sure if they will prebind the drone for you, if not, you might still need to go through the steps , but this is generally learn once know forever
Can someone please let me know what else I need to buy other than the Baby Ape pro to get started? None of the sites make it easy to understand. If there was a starter kit I'd be interested. Also do I need a windows PC? Only have a Chromebook and android phone
The PC I have is a Window PC, not sure if the Chrome book will work, try it first Below will be the recommended items(You can use it for a while) required beside the baby Ape ELRS 1.

Hey man. I am a newbie. "Baby Ape Pro V2 (ELRS)" does this version come with a radio controller and a goggle or do I have to buy these things separately? Thank you
If you are taking about ELRS. The baseline should have an SPI receiver, you need to flash Betaflight to 4.4 version for ELRS 3.X. You should be able to use the auto detect function at BF to find the target

@IFLY X-WING FPV i have followed the video and it worked great but recently my baby ape pro v2 is not arming. the Controller i am using is the raidomaster TX12 and it says it is connected i was wondering if you have an answer
If it was arming prior but now it is not, double check you setting to see if anything changed, check your TX12 and turn on turn off model match to see if that is the problem. Or simpler plug it into betaflight to see the arming flag
Theoretically, the FC can be powered by a 1S lipo, however, the weight of the entire drone and the motors are not meant for 1S, for this size 2S if most likely the minimum
You can as it is budget enough to start with; however, if you are complete beginner as you say, my suggestion is to start with a tiny whoop. Mobula 7 / Mobula 6 will be a good starting choice

If you are referring to analog VTXs, check to see if you are stuck in PIT Mode.
in betaflight its turned off.
Hey man. I am a newbie. "Baby Ape Pro V2 (ELRS)" does this version come with a radio controller and a goggle or do I have to buy these things separately? Thank you
The Darwin website does offer a package deal with goggles and radio, but for the most part FPV items are all solder separately
When i hit update it gave me the erorr 4 (not enough space ) do you have any idea
In this case you can try flashing it via betaflight pass through
can i also bind it with the beta fpv LiteRadio 2 Frsky?
Nope this tutorial is exclusively for ELRS
Hello if I get the no receiver option and buy the run cam wasp camera can I use my dji controller just by binding to the wasp
Which DJI controller do you have? And which DJI Goggle?
When I click on update when I put the file it says not enough space
This happens sometimes and may required to do a betaflight passthrough flash

can you switch the antena
