## Advanced Use Cases
This new telemetry feature can be expanded for various applications, e.g.:

- Real-time flight data monitoring.
- Integration with other ESP Backpack-compatible devices.
An Espressif ESP-based microcontroller, like the ESP32 or ESP8266 (and many variants) is capable of receiving ESPNOW frames. Custom firmware could be written to decode the CRSF telemetry and consume it in your own custom solution. See [this ESPNOW guide](https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp-now-esp32-arduino-ide/) for an example of developing using ESPNOW.

### What will I need to do to set this up?

To work through this guide, you will need to:

- Update the firmware on your TX and TX-Backpack (depending on your current version)
- Flash an ELRS receiver, or an ESP-based dev board as a Backpack receiver
- Wire the receiver to the Crossbow

These can be found on Amazon for cheap, and have much better WiFi range than a standard ELRS receiver.

Once you have chosen a receiver to use, you need to determine the MCU type that it uses:

The Crossbow requires frequent GPS coordinate updates in order to track the craft, and to maintain the link.

The recommendation is to use a telemetry ratio of:

- `1:2` or `1:4` if you are using a low packet rate such as 50Hz or 100Hz
- `1:2` to `1:8` if you are using a higher packet rate such as 250Hz or above
