Opstelling

1. Bedradingsdiagram

Refer to the following diagram for proper connection of the VTX to your flight controller and camera.

Figure 5: Wiring Diagram. This diagram illustrates how to connect the SucceX Mini Force VTX to other components of an FPV drone, including the camera (Video, GND), power source (5V, GND), and flight controller (RX for OSD control).

• Video: Connect to the video output of your FPV camera.
• GND: Connect to a common ground point.
• + 5V: Connect to a regulated 5V power supply from your flight controller or PDB.
• RX: Connect to a UART TX pad on your flight controller for OSD control (SmartAudio/TrampHV).

2. Antennaverbinding

Carefully connect your 5.8GHz FPV antenna to the MMCX connector on the VTX. Ensure a secure connection. Always connect the antenna before applying power to the VTX.

3. Betaflight VTX Tables

For full control over VTX settings via your flight controller's OSD (On-Screen Display) or Betaflight Configurator, it is recommended to set up Betaflight VTX tables. These tables define the available bands, channels, and power levels for your specific VTX.

Refer to the iFlight website or Betaflight documentation for detailed instructions on configuring VTX tables. Ensure you use tables appropriate for your region to comply with local regulations.

Bedryfsinstruksies

1. Aanskakel

Once wired correctly and with the antenna attached, apply power to your drone. The VTX will power on and begin transmitting on its last saved settings.

2. Changing Settings (OSD/Buttons)

Settings such as power level, band, and channel can be adjusted using two primary methods:

• OSD Control (SmartAudio/TrampHV): If configured in Betaflight, you can access the VTX settings menu through your FPV goggles' OSD. Navigate to the VTX section to change power, band, and channel. This is the recommended method for precise control and compliance.
• On-board Buttons: The VTX board features small buttons for manual adjustment.
  • Kragknoppie: Short press to cycle through power levels (PIT/25mW/200mW/400mW/600mW).
  • Band-knoppie: Short press to cycle through frequency bands.
  • Kanaalknoppie: Short press to cycle through channels within the selected band.

  Let wel: Always verify your selected frequency and power level are legal in your operating region before flight.

Onderhoud

• Antenna Security: Regularly check that the MMCX antenna connector is securely attached. A loose antenna can lead to poor video quality or VTX damage.
• Netheid: Keep the VTX free from dirt, dust, and moisture. Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air for cleaning.
• Fisiese inspeksie: Periodically inspect the board for any signs of physical damage, loose components, or cold solder joints.
• Hittebestuur: Ensure adequate airflow around the VTX, especially when operating at higher power levels, to prevent overheating.
