Radio Master TX16S
Press SYS, select ExpressLRS, WIFI Connectivity, Enable WIFI
If you are NOT already using Home WiFi, connect to the ExpressLRS TX WiFi access point (password is expresslrs) and browse http://10.0.0.1/
Configure to use home network if needed. ELRS Configurator then finds TX as elrs_tx.local
Notes
Successfully used the modules WIFI (very short range). Use the ELRS configurator app, to generate a gzipped bin if needed to avoid the not enough space error.
May need to use configurator to generate firmware first, then connect to device wifi.

Press SYS, select ExpressLRS, WIFI Connectivity, Enable Backpack WIFI
Use the ELRS configurator app, to generate the backpack firmware.
If you are NOT already using Home WiFi, connect to the ExpressLRS TX Backpack WiFi access point (password is expresslrs) and browse http://10.0.0.1/
Configure to use home network if needed. ELRS Configurator then finds TX as elrs_tx.local
