FrSky VANTAC RF007 - Instruction manual/cs

Úvod

FrSky VANTAC RF007 je špičková letová flybarless (FBL) jednotka, která využívá nejnovější technologii Rotorflight 2.X. Díky zabudovanému přijímači s protokolem Access nebo Twin 2.4GHz poskytuje rozsáhlou škálu funkcí a zároveň umožňuje intuitivní konfiguraci, bezproblémové nastavení a ladění v reálném čase prostřednictvím rádiového rozhraní ETHOS.

Rotorflight technologie a komplexní možnosti

Jádrem RF007 je procesor MCU STM32F722 podpořený tříosým gyroskopem, tříosým akcelerometrem a barometrem. Tyto součásti se starají o přesnost a stabilitu poskytující pilotům maximální sebevědomí a důvěru v jejich mašinu. Řídicí jednotka navíc podporuje záznam letových dat pomocí objemné 128MB černé skříňky nabízející dostatek informací pro ladění a řešení problémů.

Integrovaný přijímač FrSky a podpora externího přijímače

RF007 je vybaven vestavěným přijímačem FrSky, který spárujete přímo s vysílačem KAVAN nebo FrSky. Tím odpadá potřeba externího přijímače. Verze RF007 Archer obsahuje 2.4GHz Archer Plus RS přijímač pracující v režimu ACCESS nebo ACCST V2. Verze RF007 Twin má zabudovaný přijímač R6 Twin 2.4GHz pracující v režimu Twin. Interní přijímač je propojen přes UART sběrnici komunikující na protokolu FBUS. Pro uživatele s jinými požadavky lze přijímač připojit také prostřednictvím hlavního panelu nebo některého z rozšiřujících portů. Rotorflight podporuje širokou škálu protokolů přenosu signálu přijímače. Úplný seznam podporovaných protokolů naleznete v nástroji Rotorflight Configurator nebo na https://rotorflight.org.

Field Programming/Tuning with ETHOS Lua

Thanks to the telemetry connectivity, Rotorflight offers highly intuitive and integrated Lua-based configuration tools to run on ETHOS transmitters. Users can use these tools to tune and change PID settings, servo trims, rates, mixing/geometry, filter settings, and most other Rotorflight settings quickly and easily right from the radio screen. On supported ESCs, the ESC settings can also be configured with the configuration tool.

How to access RF007 configuration by Rotorflight Lua on ETHOS radios

Preparation: Ensure that the ETHOS system and Rotorflight Lua tools are always updated to the latest version.

Bind the built-in receiver of the RF007 to your transmitter and ensure the Telemetry port is set to FBUS mode.

Download the latest Release version .zip file of the Rotorflight Lua scripts. There are two versions available. The text-based version is a simplified system similar to other integration tools with more dense information, whereas the touchscreen version “Suite” is a more user friendly tool based on the Lua Forms system and offers some additional features.

Rotorflight Lua Suite (Touchscreen Supported) https://github.com/rotorflight/rotorflight-lua-ethos-suit e/releases

Use Ethos Suite to Install the downloaded .zip file.

Or extract the downloaded Lua files, and place the extracted folder into the Scripts folder of the ETHOS transmitter.

Go to the Lua Tasks menu on the ETHOS transmitter.

Set the installed functions to On under Lua Tasks bar.

Before opening the configuration tools, ensure you have powered the system and Discovered telemetry sensors.

Go to the System menu and access the Rotorflight Lua scripts.

How to Flash/Update the FC Firmware

To update, modify, or reinstall the FC firmware, please follow the detailed instructions on the Rotorflight Wiki: https://www.rotorflight.org/docs/setup/flashing-the-firmware.

Install Rotorflight Configurator: Start by downloading and installing the latest Rotorflight Configurator release download (https://github.com/rotorflight/ rotorflight-configurator/releases). This walk-through uses Windows, but it should also work on Linux or macOS.

Install Drivers: On Windows, install the STM USB VCP Drivers from the links on the Rotorflight Configurator page.

Note.: If there are issues connecting to the flight controller please download the ImpulseRC Driver Fixer. (https://impulserc.com/pages/downloads)

Flash Firmware to FC: Connect the FC to your computer with an USB data cable.

Now you are ready to install the Rotorflight firmware to your FC.

Open the Rotorflight configurator and click on Update Firmware.

• Choose All release and Snapshots from the dropdown. (Note: Snapshots are for development and testing purposes. They may contain bugs!! Rotorflight recommends using snapshot firmware with care and to assist the project with testing. Choose "Releases" if you would rather use the latest stable firmware)
• Select the Target you identified in Step 1. You can also click on the "Detect" button to auto detect the target.
• Select Full chip erase, this will remove all previous configurations.
• Click on Load firmware[online]

Note.: If you get the Fail to load remote firmware notice in this process, please try to have the VANTAC RF007 enter into DFU mode by holding the FC Boot button with repowering it then. Or visit the detailed instructions of the Troubleshooting section. https://www.rotorflight.org/docs/setup/flashing-the-firmware#troubleshooting

• Check and confirm the target board is correct.
• Click on Flash Firmware.

• When the programming is successful click on Connect.
