Need Info for Starling 2 Max That Shipped With New Wifi & ELRS Receiver
-
Just took delivery of a new Starling 2 Max and noticed that there is a new ELRS receiver (M0184) and Wifi adapter board (with the Sparrow LGA Long Range Wi-Fi Module). This is as opposed to my other relatively older Starling 2 Max units that came with the USB3.0 / UART Expansion Adapter (M00151) with AWUS036EACS and ELRS Nano RX
Would like to know the following:
- Can the new ELRS receiver be flashed with the ExpressLRS Configurator? Would like to change the receiver to work on 868MHz instead. Please advise what device target to select on the configurator if it is possible
- Was unable to find more info on the new wifi adapter board on docs.modalai. Is there a link I can refer to to look at the pinouts on the board?
- Will the new wifi adapter board be able to still support UART and USB (similar to M00151)? If it is not able to, please advise on what is the best way to have these enabled? Do I need to repurchase the M00151 adapter board and the AWUS036EACS wifi adapter? Or can i tap it from elsewhere on the voxl2 and keep the new wifi adapter board?
Appreciate the quick reply as I'm expecting another Starling 2 Max to be shipped from your store soon and would like to feedback to your sales team to make any hardware changes before it gets shipped out
Thank you in advance!

The M0184 ELRS receiver is able to be flashed with the ExpressLRS Configurator; however, it requires you to use our forked firmware repository. The instructions for using ELRS Configurator with our receivers are here: https://docs.modalai.com/elrs-configurator.

@Maxwell-Schaefer Thanks for your reply. Is this step also applicable for the BetaFPV Nano RX? Should this also used ModalAI's firmware repo? Or will this use BetaFPV's? I did look into trying to flash the Nano RX initially, but stopped short of doing it as the physical RX itself did not have a BetaFPV silkscreen on it, so I assumed that it might be using a different firmware from the stock BetaFPV
Are you able to advise on the other queries regarding the new wifi adapter board?
