Specific Connections:

4.1. DJI Whoop Wiring

For DJI FPV Air Unit compatibility, connect as shown in the diagram. Ensure the correct UART is selected in Betaflight for serial communication.

• 5V: Connect to 5V pad on Air Unit.
• GND: Connect to GND pad on Air Unit.
• UART2 TX: Connect to RX pad on Air Unit.
• UART2 RX: Connect to TX pad on Air Unit.

4.2. Receiver Wiring (Other Transmitters)

The board supports various receiver types. Connect your receiver to the appropriate UART and configure it in Betaflight.

• F.SKY (R-XSR, R9MM): Typically uses SBUS. Connect SBUS output to the designated SBUS pad (often UART1 RX).
• IBUS: Connect IBUS output to a free UART RX pad.
• TBS Crossfire (CRSF): Connect TX/RX of Crossfire to a free UART TX/RX pair.
• DSMX: Connect DSMX output to a free UART RX pad.

Note: To use UART2 for a 3rd party receiver, you may need to disable the DJI FPV Air Unit configuration on UART2 in Betaflight. Refer to the Betaflight configurator for specific port assignments.

4.3. VTX (Video Transmitter) Wiring

Connect your analog VTX to the designated pads for video signal, power, and ground.

• Kuasa VTX: Connect to VTX+ pad (usually 5V or VBAT depending on VTX).
• VTX Ground: Connect to GND pad.
• Isyarat Video: Connect to VTX pad.

4.4. LED/Buzzer Wiring

Connect an external LED strip or buzzer to the dedicated pads for visual and audible feedback.

• LED: Connect to LED pad.
• Buzzer: Connect to BZ+ and BZ- pads.

4.5. Camera Wiring

Connect your FPV camera to the board for video input.

• Kuasa Kamera: Connect to CAM+ pad (usually 5V).
• Camera Ground: Connect to GND pad.
• Isyarat Video: Connect to CAM pad.

Initial Betaflight Configuration:

After wiring, connect the board to your computer via the USB-C port and open the Betaflight Configurator. Ensure you have the latest Betaflight firmware installed on the board.

1. Kemas kini Firmware: It is highly recommended to flash the latest stable Betaflight firmware for the SucceX-D F4 board.
2. Konfigurasi Port: Enable Serial RX on the UART connected to your receiver. Enable MSP for the UART connected to your FPV Air Unit (if applicable).
3. Tab Konfigurasi: Set ESC protocol (e.g., DShot600), Gyro update frequency, PID loop frequency.
4. Receiver Tab: Verify stick inputs are correct. Adjust channel mapping if necessary.
5. Modes Tab: Configure arming switch, flight modes (Angle, Acro, Horizon), and other auxiliary functions.
6. Motors Tab: Test motor direction and functionality (remove propellers before testing motors!).
7. OSD Tab: Customize your On-Screen Display elements.

7. Penyelesaian masalah

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your SucceX-D F4 AIO board.

Isu dan Penyelesaian Biasa:

• Board does not power on / No lights:
  • Periksa sambungan bateri dan polariti.
  • Inspect for short circuits on the board or connected components.
  • Ensure the power lead is securely soldered.
• No connection to Betaflight Configurator via USB:
  • Ensure correct USB drivers (e.g., STM32 Virtual COM Port Driver, Zadig) are installed.
  • Try a different USB cable and USB port on your computer.
  • If the board was powered by a battery during USB connection, ensure the 5V regulator is functional. Some users reported USB port damage or 5V regulator failure. Use a powered USB hub as a precaution.
  • Try connecting in DFU mode (hold BOOT button while plugging in USB).
• Motors not spinning / Only some motors spin:
  • Verify motor connections to the ESC pads.
  • Check ESC protocol settings in Betaflight.
  • Ensure motors are enabled and calibrated in Betaflight.
  • Inspect for damaged ESC FETs or motor windings.
• Gyroscope issues (e.g., yaw not working, erratic movements):
  • This could indicate a faulty MPU6000 gyroscope. If the board is new and exhibits this behavior, contact the seller for support.
  • Ensure the board is mounted securely and free from vibrations.
• Receiver not detected:
  • Check receiver wiring to the correct UART RX pad.
  • Ensure Serial RX is enabled for the corresponding UART in Betaflight Ports tab.
  • Verify the correct receiver protocol (e.g., SBUS, IBUS, CRSF) is selected in the Betaflight Configuration tab.
  • Ensure the receiver is bound to your transmitter.
• Board smokes or catches fire on power-up:
  • Putuskan kuasa dengan serta-merta. This indicates a severe short circuit or component failure.
  • Carefully inspect all wiring for shorts, especially power leads.
  • If a smoke stopper was not used, this is a critical step for future builds.
  • A board exhibiting this behavior is likely damaged beyond repair and should be replaced.
