FrSky XM Plus Mini Receiver up to 16CH 1.6g Full Range fit for Micro Drone XM

I have now bought 4 of these receivers. They are really great little receivers that use Sbus and only need to connect 3-4 wires to get it to work with your flight controller. I've used these on my drone builds and they are easy to install and setup. Although I have not even tried to update the firmware on any of mine but they still work perfectly out of the box. Only gripe I have is the RSSI pad is super tiny and can sometimes be a pain to get a wire soldered onto it but other than that this is a really great little receiver especially if your trying to save space in your quad!

Has very good range. I can’t figure out of to get rssi output to my Radio Master Tx16s, but the recover works very good.

These are cheap and do work, but if you're like me and run a Jumper T Lite radio you'll need to down grade the firmware to XM+FCC170313.frk. Joshua Bardwell has a video and link on where to find the firmware. Flashing the firmware is actually much easier than it sounds, so for the price these are a decent value, just know that you'll need to do a little work on your end to make them work.

I taped this to a thin arm on my drone and it looks like it’s not even there. I wish it came with shrink wrap but a little more electrical tape never hurt anybody. Haven’t tested the range but i’m sure it’ll be great for freestyle at least!

The first one worked flawless but the most resent one i received has bad firmware or is just bad. When you go to bind it the red and green light stay solid and won't go I to bind mode at all. I don't have anyway of updating the firmware with my taranis because I can't find any instructions to do so with the new 2019 access model only on older x9d plus tx. Also don't have an SD card u can get to work to do so even if I could get the firmware on the controller to update the receiver. Either way it should come ready to go and I shouldn't have to solder on a servo end to update my receiver. I'll be switching to crossfire soon because of the crap firmware issues with frsky constantly so hopefully I won't have this issue again.

Great low priced full range 16 channel SBUS capable receiver compatible with FrSky transmitters. Be aware that this receiver doesn't have any telemetry features but if you're using an OSD this isn't a big deal. Plus, this receiver is capable of transmitting RSSI over channel 16 but you have to enable RSSI on channel 12 in Betaflight as the first 4 channels are for AETR. Also firmware has to be updated in order to use this feature but there are videos on youtube that walk you through how to do this using your FrSky transmitter. Also, I recommend adding a dab or two of hot glue to the antenna plugs to ensure that they don't disconnect in a crash. I have used these on four builds now and I honestly don't have a single complaint.

I always get XM plus receiver for 6 years since I started FPV system back on 2015, and I never have problem with XM plus receiver, and this time, this one I'm having problem bind it in, even I did the update firmware on this XM plus receiver and did few tricks to get it bind in, but it never works! First time, first XM plus receiver in 6 years that I have problem first time and I had to return this to frsky and they was taken care of me immediately and sent me new one and I'm getting new one in 2 weeks and I'm glad with their service! Thanks frsky teams for your helpful solved my issue with this XM plus receiver!!👍🏼

I love the range, the price, the size and the weight. I also love how well it performs and has never have me a fail safe even with only one antenna. What I hate are the antennae as well as the antennae connectors. I have 3 of these receivers and none have both plugs remaining forcing me to use ok mul l one antenna. I get as much range as I need but I'd still live to have the reassurance of diversity. I also dislike not having telemetry without having to flash firmware onto the PCB using a PC that I don't have. Third the plastic bubble for the bind button always comes off. It hasn't caused any problems for me just annoys me that the receivers I'm using aren't as they should be with telemetry. 2 antennas, a bind button and an anti-crash sensor. I'll manage though. All in all the XM+ is a great FrSky receiver for $13. I would recommend it for any FrSky SBUS application where size and budget are considerations. I'm ordering another today. I'm content with its faults just wish I didn't have to be.
