Description

The RadioMaster Bandit Micro ExpressLRS module leverages the SEMTECH SX1276 LoRa RF chipset, optimized for the 915MHz ISM band, delivering robust signal integrity and resistance to interference. Its advanced thermal management system, combining passive convection with an active turbo fan, maintains optimal component temperatures during sustained 1W transmission, ensuring reliability for extended flight sessions.

Engineered for seamless integration, the module features a standard 5-pin micro connector compatible with RadioMaster TX16S MKII, Boxer, and TX12 MKII transmitters. The onboard ESP32 and ESP8285 processors not only handle the ExpressLRS protocol but also enable the module to be repurposed as a high-power telemetry receiver, offering unparalleled flexibility for custom UAV builds and ultra-long-range applications.

Key Features

  • High-power 1000mW (30dBm) RF output using the SEMTECH SX1276 LoRa chipset
  • Wide packet rate support from 25Hz to 200Hz for customizable latency vs. range performance
  • Built-in high-contrast OLED display and 5-way navigation key for standalone configuration
  • Active convection cooling system with integrated turbo fan for sustained high-power operation
  • Dual-processor architecture: ESP32 for main control and ESP8285 for WiFi/Bluetooth backpack features
  • Includes a general-purpose 915MHz T antenna; compatible with the optional RadioMaster Moxon directional antenna
  • UART solder pads on PCB allow the module to be reconfigured as a 1W telemetry receiver
  • Built-in TCXO (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator) for precise frequency stability

Applications

  • Long-range FPV drone builds requiring robust 915MHz control links with ExpressLRS protocol
  • Integration into RadioMaster EdgeTX transmitters (TX16S MKII, Boxer, TX12 MKII) for enhanced telemetry and control range
  • Custom UAV platforms where the module can be repurposed as a high-power telemetry receiver
  • Professional drone operations demanding reliable control links in congested RF environments

Frequently Asked Questions

Which RadioMaster transmitters are compatible with the Bandit Micro ExpressLRS module?

The Bandit Micro module uses a standard 5-pin micro connector and is directly compatible with RadioMaster radios featuring a Micro Module bay, including the TX16S MKII, Boxer, and TX12 MKII. It is designed for seamless integration with EdgeTX firmware.

Can this RF module be used as a receiver?

Yes, the module's PCB includes UART solder pads, allowing it to be reconfigured and used as a high-power 1000mW telemetry receiver. This is ideal for custom long-range UAV builds where you need a robust telemetry downlink alongside your primary control link.

What is the purpose of the built-in fan on the Bandit Micro module?

The integrated turbo fan is part of an active convection cooling system designed to dissipate heat generated during sustained high-power (1W) transmission. This thermal management ensures stable operation and prevents thermal throttling, which is critical for maintaining link integrity during long-range flights.

What antenna is included, and what are the upgrade options?

The module includes a general-purpose 915MHz T antenna suitable for most flying scenarios. For dedicated long-range or directional applications, RadioMaster offers an optional Moxon antenna separately, which provides increased gain and forward signal projection.
