Receiver Configuration
This section details how to connect and configure a receiver with the flight controller.
General Receiver Setup
The FC provides UART ports for receiver connection. The configuration involves setting the correct baud rate and enabling 'Serial RX' for the chosen UART port in the flight controller software (e.g., Betaflight Ports tab).
Identifier | Configuration/MSP (Baud Rate) | Serial RX |
---|---|---|
USB VCP | 115200 | ❌ |
UART1 | 115200 | ✔️ |
UART2 | 115200 | ✔️ |
UART4 (SPEKSAT, SBUS, CRSF) | 115200 | ✔️ |
UART5 | 115200 | ✔️ |
Note: When using a serial receiver, it is essential to configure the corresponding UART port as 'Serial RX' in the Ports tab of the flight controller software and select the correct Receiver Provider from the dropdown list.
Supported Receiver Protocols
The system supports various serial receiver protocols, including:
- SBUS
- CRSF (Crossfire)
- SPEKSAT
- Other serial protocols
A diagram illustrates receiver connection options, showing signal (RX/TX), power (5V/9V), and GND pins. It also highlights the selection of the 'Serial Receiver Provider' and the data format (e.g., SBUS).
DJI Digital FPV System Configuration
This section covers the integration of DJI Digital FPV systems.
DJI AIR Unit Module
The FC can be configured to work with DJI AIR Unit modules. The configuration table shows UART assignments and baud rates:
Identifier | Configuration/MSP (Baud Rate) | Serial Rx |
---|---|---|
USB VCP | 115200 | ❌ |
UART1 | 115200 | ✔️ |
UART2 | 115200 | ✔️ |
Supported Systems:
- DJI O3 AIR Unit: Input voltage 7.4-26.4V
- CADDX Vista: Input voltage 7.4-26.4V
Receiver Setup for DJI Systems
When using a receiver with a DJI system, the receiver must be connected via UART and configured correctly:
- The relevant UART port must be set to 'Serial Rx' (in the Ports tab).
- Select the correct data format from the dropdown list (e.g., SBUS).
A diagram shows the connection points for the DJI AIR Unit module, including power (9V, GND), TX/RX for serial communication, and input for the camera.
Analog VTX Configuration
This section details the configuration for Analog Video Transmitters (VTX).
Analog VTX Setup
The FC provides UART ports that can be configured for Analog VTX control, including SmartAudio or Tramp protocols.
Identifier | Configuration/MSP (Baud Rate) | Peripherals |
---|---|---|
USB VCP | 115200 | Disabled |
UART1 | 115200 | VTX, IRC Tramp |
UART2 | 115200 | Disabled |
