Trying to get FRSKY Telemetry to work with an Flip F4 FC to no avail…
Followed the instructions for the Omnibus F4 Setup guide, but the line commands are for Betaflight, and iNav commands are not the same.
Running CPPM Through a D4R II with the Rx line fed into UART 1 Tx, and the Gnd wire to the Gnd on the FC above the 5v pins. Soft serial enabled in iNav 1.8.0
GPS connected to UART 3 TX Rx SCL/SDA (working)
Tried to discover new sensors in Taranis, but to no avail…
What am I missing?
Any input would be helpful. I really would like this to work, I am reviving an old Skyfun that I want to bore holes with…
Thnx
Ted
I am a bit confused… some setup guides say to use smart port, and some say to use FRSKY…
Which is it? I have tried both, to no avail. I am sure it is just the wrong setting.
I seem to have found it. The software serial is on two small pads next to the chip labeled ch5/ch6.
Being this is an older design, the port is not in the location of the standard UART pins.
A delecate solder, but doable. It seems most pics of the pinouts of this board, do not include this info, except the one I found. I found a wiki in this board, that I had overlooked also…
Yes, one more question, do I need to run a ground line along with the telemetry wire to the FC? I am running a D4R II with CPPM. Doesn’t the ground line from the CPPM lin cover it? Yes dronetrest is a great place for answers, when I was messing with APM, I had great input for my problems.
Thnx Tim
I don’t think you need a ground wire for the telemetry. I usually run SBUS with smart port and that just has ground, 5v and sbus on one UART with a single smart port wire on another UART. The set up may be different for CPPM but I wouldn’t have thought so.
