Hi Dave

RX v4.03 boards don't have the external EEPROM, but this don't cause any problem, the software will use the EEPROM existent in the RTC module. Just don't forget to set in the user configurable options that your RX board is a version 4.
Code:
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Hardware settings
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// ---- Define your RX board, main version number
#define Board_Version 4 // 6 for all RX boards v6.xx, 5 for all RX boards v5.xx, 4 for all RX boards v4.xxRegarding to the display, as stated in the change log, the support for 1.8" TFT display was removed. v2.0 software only supports LCD I2C displays.
We are recommending to use only LCD displays, at least since one year, mainly because a TFT display requires a lot more memory resources than an LCD, and those resources could be better used to improve the functionality and stability of the whole system.
Until you get and LCD display, maybe it is better return to v1.5 software. Don't forget to do a factory reset (pressing the push button for 5 seconds) after reprogramming the RX unit.
