When upgrading ELRS receivers, there are primarily two options: Wi-Fi and Serial Port. While Wi-Fi upgrading is very user-friendly and doesn't require additional accessories, it can be susceptible to failures caused by unstable networks.

For a more reliable and professional upgrade experience, RadioMaster ExpressLRS UART Flasher is your solution. This dongle is designed specifically for ELRS receiver serial port upgrades, providing a dependable and professional solution for flashing or recovering receivers with a bad flash.
