Single GPS
Connect GPS to GPS1 port with its 8-pin DF13 connector. Most of the GPS modules are plug-and-play. Some
of the GPS module is equipped with compass and it may need calibration.
RC System Connection
The Cube supports the following signal receivers. Different type of signals has their corresponding port on
carrier board.
PWM/PPM/Futaba S.bus Receiver
PWM Receiver: The Cube cannot directly process PWM signal. A PPM encoder is needed to encode
multi-channel PWM to single-channel PPM signal. Then, connect it to RCIN port on The Cube.
PPM RC Receiver / Futaba S.Bus Receiver can be directly plugged into the RCIN port.
Some signal receivers can switch to different modes (eg: multi-channel PWM, single-channel S.Bus).
Please refer to the user manual of the signal receiver to set it to S.Bus mode.
Spektrum DSM/DSM2/DSM-X Satellite Receiver
For a Spektrum DSM, DSM2, or DSM-X Satellite receiver, connect to the SPKT port on The Cube.
Telemetry Connection
The main purpose of wireless telemetry is for two-way communication between autopilot and ground
control station, so that the real-time data can be displayed and UAV can be controlled by ground control
station.
Requirement of telemetry: mavlink protocol, passthrough protocol, or TTL serial interface.
Please ensure that the pin assignment of the cable matches the pinout of TELEM1 on The Cube. Otherwise,
please modify it.
After confirming, the telemetry can be connected to TELEM1 or TELEM2 port. Connect it by selecting the
corresponding COM port and baud rate (typically 57600) in ground control station.
Please be noticed the default baud rate of TELEM1 port is 57600. This must match to the baud rate of
telemetry.
