ExpressLRS 2.4GHz PWM Receiver, R24-P6
-
Generic ESP8285 6xPWM 2.4Ghz RX, or HappyModel EPW6 2.4GHz PWM RX
- R24-P6 was the 1st ESP8285 6x PWM receiver based on “Generic ESP8285 6xPWM 2.4Ghz RX” target(old target name “DIY_2400_RX_PWMPEX”), and launched on Jun of 2022. We sent samples to 2 of devs for target verification after trial production. They even adjusted the target configs according to our R24-P6 voltage sense hardware. This PR can prove it. https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS/pull/1724. We just though unified target was OK. no need to add a “coat” target with just manufacturer and SKU name. But, A year after the product releasing, thousands of users have been using it and tested it in flight. someone said “No one else got the hardware for testing!” :-) https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS/pull/2193.
- EPW6 is the 2nd ESP8285 6x PWM receiver based on exactly same hardware definitions and configs if we din’t remember wrong.

Firmwares
- Generic ESP8285 6xPWM 2.4Ghz RX, or HappyModel EPW6 2.4GHz PWM RX
- ExpressLRS wiki for PWM receiver, Click HERE
- Make sure Receiver and TX module both are running ExpressLRS 3.0 or newer
——————————————————-
- Receiver has ExpressLRS 3.0 preloaded with binding phrase “123456”, the Receiver will never enter binding mode if using the traditional binding procedure.
- You need to reflash it with your binding phrase OR go into WebUI to set your binding phrase.
Flashing via Wifi
- Disconnect ESC and servos from receiver first.
- Power on receiver by 5V source. Receiver’s LED(Red) will blink slow at first, and after 20s, it should blink fast indicating it’s on Wifi Hotspot Mode.
- More detailed steps, pls refer this page.
- Target: HappyModel EPW6 2.4GHz PWM RX
Flashing via UART
- Disconnect ESC and servos from receiver first.
- Wire the receiver into the USB-TTL adapter, with TX on receiver connected to the Rx on the USB-TTL, and RX on receiver connected to the Tx of the USB-TTL. Wire 5V and GND of the USB-TTL to 5V and GND of the Receiver.
- Press the boot button while powering on the receiver, then release – the Red LED on receiver should now be solid.
- configurator , Select the target HappyModel EPW6 2.4GHz PWM RX and “UART” for Flashing Method, set your bind phrase and Firmware Options , Check “erase before flash” and “Force FLash “.
