6.1.6. Updating a payload from an AscTec Falcon 8 UAV to an
Intel Falcon 8+ UAV
The following payloads for the AscTec Falcon 8 UAV can be updated to become
compatible with the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV:
• Sony Alpha 7R
• Inspection Payload with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ71
The update requires three steps:
1. Update the hardware with a payload adapter.
Please refer to the section “Exchanging a payload adapter” on page 207 for
instructions.
2. Perform a payload calibration.
When the payload is first connected, there will be two warning messages,
No
calib on payload found
and Payload EEPROM compromised!. Please
do a payload calibration by performing all steps described in chapter “Payload
calibration” on page 36. This will resolve the warning
No calib on payload
found
.
3. Update the eeprom flash of the payload.
Contact the Intel support team and provide the following information:
• Payload type (Sony Alpha 7R or Inspection Payload TZ71)
4. Slide the back plate assembly onto the rod of
the payload.
5. Align the ribbon cable correctly in the gap of
the front plate.
6. Connect the 10 pin wire connector.
7. Attach the back plate assembly to the front
plate assembly.
Make sure not to apply force to the servo
motor.
8. Attach and tighten the 4 screws C2.2x6.5 mm
