Description
Product Specification:
This product is a DSMX Compatible 10 Channels Full-Range Diversity Antenna Receiver with a UART output for failsafe. It operates on 2.4 GHz modulation and is backward compatible with DSM2. Its dimensions are 43(L) x 34(W) x 14(H) mm, and it weighs 12.32g. The voltage range for this product is 3.45 - 7.2V.
This product features dual antennas that work independently. The antennas allow for different locations and orientations, and an independent processor monitors the incoming signal and selects the appropriate antenna for reception. As a result, the use of a primary receiver with a satellite receiver is no longer necessary, reducing weight and increasing overall reliability.
Binding Setup:
To bind this receiver, insert the bind plug into the receiver, provide power to the unit, and enable bind mode in the transmitter, ensuring a distance separation of 2 meters from the receiver. Then, remove the bind plug.
To enable 11ms frame rate for high-speed digital servo, insert two bind plugs into the receiver's binding location, provide power to the unit, enable bind mode in the transmitter, ensuring a distance separation of 2 meters from the receiver, and then remove the bind plug. A quickly flashing green light indicates that 11ms frame rate is enabled every time the units are powered.
Failsafe Setup:
To set failsafe, start by binding the receiver to the transmitter in the normal way. Then, ensure that the transmitter and receiver are turned on and insert the bind plug into the receiver. Set the transmitter controls to the desired failsafe positions, press the side pushbutton to memorize the failsafe settings, and observe that the green light at the end of the receiver turns on to indicate that the failsafe is set. Removing the bind plug will complete the setup.
High-Speed UART Output:
This product features a TX port (UART, 115200bps, 8N1) for high-speed UART output suitable for UAV or quad-flyer applications. The UART output specification when no signal is received (device reset and continuously monitor for valid signal roughly every 0.5 sec) is <0x13><'R'><'E'><'S'><'E'><'T'><0x13>, where <0x13> is used as the header for the beginning and ending identifier. The UART output specification when a signal is received (updated roughly every 11ms with 2048/11ms DSM2 protocol with 12 bytes of information) is <0x13><Throttle><Aileron><Elevator><Rudder><Gear><Aux1><Aux2><Aux3><Aux4><Aux5><0x13>, where DEC(0) ~ DEC(255) refers to the approximate value for each of the full range control output for the channels, and <0x13> is used as the header for the beginning and ending identifier.
About Failsafe:
This product's failsafe is available for all channels, and some users may find it useful for robotics applications or UAV. When the bind plug is still plugged after successful binding, pressing the mem. button will cause the receiver to memorize all channel settings at the time the button is pressed for use in failsafe. The failsafe settings will be saved even in the event of power disconnection and will restore to its functions accordingly when power is provided.
If the primary receiver and satellite receiver are unable to detect any RF signal for a continuous time interval of approximately 3 seconds, all channels will be restored to the saved setting, and the receiver will try to find a valid RF signal. If a valid signal is detected, the receiver will use it immediately.
