FrSky VANTAC RF007 - Návod k použití
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.
Programování/ladění za chodu pomocí ETHOS Lua
Díky konektivitě telemetrie nabízí Rotorflight integrované a vysoce intuitivní konfigurační nástroje založené na jazyce Lua, které spustíte přímo na vysílači ETHOS. Pomocí těchto nástrojů lze rychle a snadno ladit a měnit nastavení PID, trimů, výchylek, mixů/geometrie, nastavení filtrů a většinu dalších parametrů Rotorflight přímo v rozhraní rádia. Podporované regulátory otáček lze pomocí konfiguračního nástroje rovněž konfigurovat.

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. |
