FrSky VANTAC RF007 - Instruction manual/de

Einleitung

FrSky VANTAC RF007 ist die hochentwickelte Flybarless-Einheit (FBL), die die neueste Technologie Rotorflight 2.X verwendet. Dank dem eingebauten Empfänger mit Protokoll Access oder Twin 2,4 GHz, bietet die RF007 eine umfangreiche Palette von Funktionen an und ermöglicht gleichfalls eine intuitive Konfiguration, nahtlose Einstellung und Echtzeit-Tuning über das ETHOS-Interface.

Rotorflight-Technologie und umfassende Möglichkeiten

Der Kern der RF007 ist der Prozessor MCU STM32F722, der von einem 3-Achsen-Gyroskop, 3-Achsen-Beschleunigungsmesser und Barometer unterstützt wird. Zusammen sorgen diese Komponenten für Genauigkeit und Stabilität und bieten den Piloten ein Höchstmaß an Vertrauen in ihr Gerät. Darüber hinaus unterstützt die Steuereinheit die Aufzeichnung von Flugdaten mithilfe der großen 128 MB Blackbox, die den Benutzern eine Fülle von Daten zur Fehlersuche und -behebung bietet.

Integrierter FrSky Empfänger und Unterstützung für externen Empfänger

Die RF007 ist mit einem eingebauten Empfänger FrSky ausgestattet, der direkt mit KAVAN oder FrSky Sendern verbunden werden kann, wodurch ein externer Empfänger nicht gebraucht wird. Die Version RF007 Archer enthält einen Empfänger 2,4 GHz Archer Plus RS, der im ACCESS- oder ACCST V2-Modus arbeitet. Die Version RF007 Twin verfügt über einen eingebauten Empfänger R6 Twin 2,4 GHz, der im Twin-Modus arbeitet. Der interne Empfänger ist über einen UART-Bus angeschlossen, der über das FBUS-Protokoll kommuniziert. Für Benutzer mit anderen Anforderungen kann der Empfänger auch über das Hauptpanel oder einen der Erweiterungsports angeschlossen werden. Rotorflight unterstützt eine breite Palette von Protokollen zur Übertragung des Empfängersignals. Eine vollständige Liste der unterstützten Protokolle finden Sie im Tool Rotorflight Configurator oder unter 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.

Accessing 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.

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.
