This small ELRS recovery dongle allows you to unbrick and recover an ELRS receiver and also to flash firmware to it by using the UART port instead of WIFI.
The BetaFPV ExpressLRS Recovery Dongle is an FTDI USB to TTL adapter based on the CP2102 bridge controller. The ExpressLRS Recovery Dongle is compatible with most ELRS receivers based on ESP32 and ESP8XX chips including BetaFPV ELRS Lite, Nano, and Micro receivers and FPV goggles backpack.

Spot on!
Being new to building drones, I managed to brick a receiver, so I purchased another. I bricked that receiver as well, then discovered these recovery dongles.
Speedy next day delivery, plugged it in, flashed both receivers back to working order.
Excellent bit of kit, and one happy customer 🙂
