Operating Instructions
The procedure of using TFPro with your tracking system:
1). Detect the GPS baudrate.
TFPro needs to recognize the GPS baudrate for the initial use. Please hold SetHome button
and power on TFPro. 2 LEDs on TFPro will blink alternately. Once TFPro recognize the GPS the 2
LEDs will stay solid on. After your GPS is recognized please power off the TFPro. You don’t need to
do it any more unless you use a different GPS with TFPro.
TFPro supports these baudrates: 9600,19200,38400,57600,115200bps.
Default setting is 38400bps.
2). Check the downlink status
Power on the plane and your tracker. If everything works, the RX LED of AATDriver should
blink very fast. AATDriver V5 is able to demodulate tracking data from Video or Audio signal.
We need to ensure that Video and Audio channels both are working.
Please unplug the VideoRX video cable from the tracker. The Audio cable remains on the tracker.
The RX LED should still blink (not so fast as before).
Now unplug the VideoRX audio cable from the tracker. The Video cable remains. The RX LED
should blink fast.
Press the SetHome button of TFPro for a few seconds. The tracker should “BEEP” while you
holding the button. That means the tracker receives the SetHome command successfully.
3). SetHome and take off
The blinking RED led on TFPro indicates the GPS status. More satellites are locked, faster the
LED blinks. The RED led will be solid on once the GPS locks 10 or more satellites. And it won’t
blink no GPS is detected.
After we get enough satellites (usually we need 8 or more), press the SetHome button for 2
seconds or longer until you hear the tracker Beeping.
Now you can launch your plane.
The tracker will start to track once the plane leaves 10 meters away.
Other tips:
1.Press the button on TFPro mainboard (beside the LEDs) to switch OSD mode circularly:
PAL->Disable->NTSC-> Disable ->PAL-> Disable…..
2.Hold the button on TFPro for 5 seconds or longer to reset all configuration.
3.For the details about firmware update, please refer to the MFD AutoPilot manual.
