Description

The RadioMaster Bandit BR1 ExpressLRS receiver leverages a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) to maintain precise frequency stability across varying environmental conditions, ensuring reliable control link integrity. Its compact PCB utilizes 0402-sized surface-mount components, providing enhanced mechanical durability and resistance to vibration in high-performance multirotor applications.

Powered by an ESP8285 microcontroller and a Semtech SX1276 LoRa RF chip, the BR1 is engineered for exceptional long-range capability with minimal latency. The integrated CRSF (Crossfire Serial Protocol) bus interface delivers full telemetry back to compatible transmitters, making it an ideal choice for pilots requiring extended operational range without sacrificing responsiveness.

Key Features

  • Built-in TCXO (Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator) ensures frequency stability for reliable long-range links.
  • High-performance ESP8285 MCU and SX1276 RF chipset for ultra-low latency ExpressLRS operation.
  • Vibration-resistant construction using 0402 SMD components, suitable for high-vibration FPV freestyle and racing drones.
  • Lightweight and compact form factor (18mm x 13.8mm) minimizes airframe footprint and weight penalty.
  • Includes a high-sensitivity, flexible 915/868MHz T antenna for optimized RF reception patterns.
  • CRSF serial protocol support enables full telemetry integration with Betaflight and other flight controllers.
  • Operates on a standard 5.0V DC supply, compatible with most flight controller BEC outputs.

Applications

  • Long-range FPV exploration and mapping drones requiring stable control links beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS).
  • High-performance freestyle and racing quads where low-latency ExpressLRS protocol is critical for precise control.
  • DIY drone builds utilizing flight controllers with CRSF serial ports for integrated telemetry (e.g., Betaflight, ArduPilot).
  • Fixed-wing UAVs and other autonomous platforms benefiting from the extended range and reliability of the 915MHz band.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the RadioMaster Bandit BR1 receiver?

The Bandit BR1 receiver operates on a strict 5.0V DC supply. It is designed to be powered directly from a 5V BEC output on your flight controller or power distribution board. Exceeding this voltage can damage the receiver's internal components.

How do I connect the Bandit BR1 to my flight controller for CRSF telemetry?

Connect the included CRSF wire from the receiver's signal pad to a dedicated CRSF RX (serial) pad on your flight controller. Within Betaflight or similar firmware, configure the corresponding UART for Serial RX and set the receiver protocol to 'CRSF' to enable both control and telemetry data.

What is the advantage of the built-in TCXO in this receiver?

The Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) maintains a highly stable frequency reference regardless of temperature fluctuations during flight. This stability is critical for maintaining a robust and reliable radio link, especially over long distances where signal integrity is paramount.

Can I use this 915MHz receiver with a 2.4GHz ExpressLRS transmitter module?

No, the Bandit BR1 is a 915MHz receiver and is only compatible with ExpressLRS transmitter modules operating on the 915MHz (or 868MHz) frequency band. You must ensure your radio transmitter is equipped with a matching 915MHz ExpressLRS module for proper communication.
