      @mario Have you tried using the button on the receiver itself in order to put it into binding mode?

        @tom, can you elaborate which button on the ELRS receiver you are talking about? You mean the power on/off cycling button? Is there a way to press it such that it binds to the controller?

          @tom, in other words, aside from these docs https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-elrs/, where are these instructions that refer to using a button on the ELRS receiver to bind?

            @tom, one more question, we're trying to run /usr/share/modalai/voxl-elrs/tools/debug.py to try to see the logs, but the code doesn't seem to work.

            For example, it looks for dev.port = '/dev/tty-slpi-7', but we can't find that file, so is this debug.py actually the right code to use?

            Also, this error message is returned, even on a drone that is working correctly that binds to the controller.

            ERROR: voxl_uart_read_bytes: Bus '17' is not initialized

            PS, regarding the original post, unbinding and flashing did work, we can see the LED changes, etc, and messages from the drone

              @mario Were you able to bind the controller to the drone? I think I have the same problem with my starling 2 drone. I assume you also have ORQA controller like me. Are you seeing constant green LED on drone when you turn it on?

                @Jainik-Mehta I have a Commando controller, and yes, all the LEDs on the drone operate as expected

                  @tom, just checking to see if you had any further thoughts on this.

                    @mario There should be only physical button on the receiver itself, pressing and holding it for a couple seconds within 30 seconds of powering on should put it into bind mode

                      @tom, when that happens, does the LED do the "blink-blink-pause-blink-blink-pause..." sequence, i.e. the sequence listed here under "Binding mode enabled": https://www.expresslrs.org/quick-start/led-status/.

                      That's the same mode I get when I do voxl-elrs --bind, so is there a difference between doing it via the command vs doing it by holding down that button?

                        @mario Should be the same, if you're seeing that LED pattern then binding mode has started correctly
