Instructions for how to build your own: http://quadrank.huu.la/

Parts to build your own:
* NodeMCU product link: amzn.to/4cDexLq
* RX5808 module: amzn.to/3RewnKP
* Resistor assortment: amzn.to/4adlW2U

Be sure to buy a 5808 module dated 2012-03-22 (or newer) as these usually have the SPI mod already done, which is required for this project. There are modules floating around dated 2016, and these usually do not have the SPI mod. You can see the date printed on the module in the product photos.
