R/C receiver
Install R/C receiver
A small or micro R/C receiver will fit underneath the I/O board, with the antennae feeding down the rear
arms. If the receiver is too big, mount it in the front section on top of the CORE PNP25 unit or under the
frame. Try to get as much separation between the R/C receiver- and VTX antenna as possible.
A short list of TBS recommended PPM/S-BUS/D-BUS receivers:
●
FrSky D4R-II: Enable CPPM by shorting/jumping signal pin ch3 and ch4, now ch1 will output PPM,
ch2 will also output RSSI
●
EzUHF 4ch Lite: Use the ImmersionRC Tools to make ch1 output PPM, the unit barely fits under the
I/O board and might require extending the SMA connector 10-15 mm
●
DJI Phantom 2, DJI DR16 Rx: To use a DJI receiver, simply connect the supplied cable on the D-BUS
header and configure TauLabs GCS to use S-BUS -
Note that Phantom Vision/FC40 uses 5G8 control
and are thus not compatible with 5G8 video systems. All other DJI systems are on 2G4
For all other receivers, inspect the manufacturers instructions to identify the supported protocols,
dimensions and layout of output header(s). Traditional PWM channels for all controls is possible but requires
some planning, see section later in the manual.
Power is provided by a 5V regulator on the frame. Use the supplied PPM cable to connect power to the R/C
receiver. If you consider using a Spektrum satellite receiver, see the installation section later in the manual.
