02 Wiring Diagram
PPM Control Mode
This mode uses the Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) signal to control the ESC. It is suitable for all ESCs and does not inherently feature forward and reverse switching functionality.
Connection Diagram:
- Battery to Receiver: BAT+
- Receiver to ESC: VRX2, VTX2, VRX1, VTX1, GND, 5V, PPM
- Motor connected to ESC.
Receiver Pinout: BAT+, VRX2, VTX2, VRX1, VTX1, GND, 5V, PPM
PPM Dual Channel Connection Mode
This mode allows for dual ESC control, typically for dual-motor setups. It uses two PPM channels and is suitable for all ESCs without forward and reverse switching functionality.
Connection Diagram:
- Battery to Receiver: BAT+
- Receiver to ESC1: VRX2, VTX2, VRX1, VTX1, GND, 5V, PPM1
- Receiver to ESC2: VRX2, VTX2, VRX1, VTX1, GND, 5V, PPM2
- Motor connected to ESC1 and ESC2.
Receiver Pinout: BAT+, VRX2, VTX2, VRX1, VTX1, GND, 5V, PPM1, PPM2
UART Control Mode
This mode utilizes the Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) protocol for communication. It enables control and data display, supporting ESCs like VESC and FTESC. This mode supports forward and reverse switching.
Connection Diagram:
- Receiver to ESC: BAT+, VRX2, VTX2, VRX1, VTX1, GND, 5V, PPM
- ESC connections: ESC RX, ESC TX, ESC GND, ESC 5V
Receiver Pinout: BAT+, VRX2, VTX2, VRX1, VTX1, GND, 5V, PPM
ESC Connections: ESC RX, ESC TX, ESC GND, ESC 5V
