Use Bluetooth with EdgeTX
The support for Bluetooth in EdgeTX is limited to:
Bluetooth Trainer Mode
Bluetooth Telemetry Streaming
The following Bluetooth options are not supported.
Bluetooth Audio
Wireless file access and transfers
Bluetooth joystick
Firmware
To use Bluetooth, if your radio does not come as standard with a Bluetooth module fitted (thus meaning the Bluetooth option should already be enabled in the firmware) you will need a custom compiled version of EdgeTX that needs to be built with the BLUETOOTH=YES CMake flag. You can create customized versions of EdgeTX using the CloudBuild tab on the EdgeTX Buddy website.
Once the correct version of EdgeTX firmware is installed in your radio, the Bluetooth configuration options will be available on the Hardware page of Radio Settings.
Hardware
The only off-the-shelf Bluetooth modules supported by EdgeTX are:
FrSky ACCESS PARA Wireless Module
You can also create your own Bluetooth module by purchasing an ESP32 development kit and flashing it with the firmware from following project: https://btwifimod.gitbook.io/untitled/getting-started/hardware
Telemetry Applications
The INAV Telemetry Viewer app can be used on your Android smartphone to view your telemetry data over bluetooth.
Other Important Notes:
Bluetooth is only supported on radios that have at least one AUX serial port.
The compile time option Bluetooth will reserve one AUX port (on radios with 2 AUX ports, AUX2 is reserved for Bluetooth) and it will NOT be available in the normal user interface for other purposes.
EdgeTX Bluetooth trainer or telemetry has nothing to do with internal or external RF module Bluetooth functionality.
EdgeTX Bluetooth can NOT be used for Bluetooth joystick functionality at the moment.
