|
## UART Mapping |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- SERIAL0 -> USB |
||||||
|
- SERIAL1 -> UART2 (Telem1) |
||||||
|
- SERIAL2 -> UART3 (Telem2) |
||||||
|
- SERIAL3 -> UART1 (GPS) |
||||||
|
- SERIAL4 -> UART4 (GPS2) |
||||||
|
- SERIAL5 -> UART6 (spare) |
||||||
|
- SERIAL6 -> UART7 (spare, debug) |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Telem1 and Telem2 ports have RTS/CTS pins, the other UARTs do not |
||||||
|
have RTS/CTS. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The UART7 connector is labelled debug, but is available as a general |
||||||
|
purpose UART with ArduPilot. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## RC Input |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RC input is configured on the RCIN pin, at one end of the servo rail, |
||||||
|
marked RC in the above diagram. This pin supports all RC protocols. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## PWM Output |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The CUAVv5 supports up to 14 PWM outputs. First first 8 outputs (labelled |
||||||
|
"MAIN") are controlled by a dedicated STM32F100 IO controller. These 8 |
||||||
|
outputs support all PWM output formats, but not DShot. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The remaining 6 outputs (labelled AUX1 to AUX6) are the "auxillary" |
||||||
|
outputs. These are directly attached to the STM32F427 and support all |
||||||
|
PWM protocols as well as DShot. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All 14 PWM outputs have GND on the top row, 5V on the middle row and |
||||||
|
signal on the bottom row. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The 8 main PWM outputs are in 3 groups: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- PWM 1 and 2 in group1 |
||||||
|
- PWM 3 and 4 in group2 |
||||||
|
- PWM 5, 6, 7 and 8 in group3 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The 6 auxillary PWM outputs are in 2 groups: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- PWM 1, 2, 3 and 4 in group1 |
||||||
|
- PWM 5 and 6 in group2 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Channels within the same group need to use the same output rate. If |
||||||
|
any channel in a group uses DShot then all channels in the group need |
||||||
|
to use DShot. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Battery Monitoring |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The board has two dedicated power monitor ports on 6 pin |
||||||
|
connectors. The correct battery setting parameters are dependent on |
||||||
|
the type of power brick which is connected. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Compass |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The CUAVv5 has a builtin IST8310 compass. Due to potential |
||||||
|
interference the board is usually used with an external I2C compass as |
||||||
|
part of a GPS/Compass combination. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## GPIOs |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The 6 PWM ports can be used as GPIOs (relays, buttons, RPM etc). To |
||||||
|
use them you need to limit the number of these pins that is used for |
||||||
|
PWM by setting the BRD_PWM_COUNT to a number less than 6. For example |
||||||
|
if you set BRD_PWM_COUNT to 4 then PWM5 and PWM6 will be available for |
||||||
|
use as GPIOs. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The numbering of the GPIOs for PIN variables in ArduPilot is: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- AUX1 50 |
||||||
|
- AUX2 51 |
||||||
|
- AUX3 52 |
||||||
|
- AUX4 53 |
||||||
|
- AUX5 54 |
||||||
|
- AUX6 55 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Analog inputs |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The CUAVv5 has 7 analog inputs |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ADC Pin0 -> Battery Voltage |
||||||
|
- ADC Pin1 -> Battery Current Sensor |
||||||
|
- ADC Pin2 -> Battery Voltage 2 |
||||||
|
- ADC Pin3 -> Battery Current Sensor 2 |
||||||
|
- ADC Pin4 -> ADC port pin 2 |
||||||
|
- ADC Pin14 -> ADC port pin 3 |
||||||
|
- ADC Pin10 -> ADC 5V Sense |
||||||
|
- ADC Pin11 -> ADC 3.3V Sense |
||||||
|
- ADC Pin103 -> RSSI voltage monitoring |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Loading Firmware |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The board comes pre-installed with an ArduPilot compatible bootloader, |
||||||
|
allowing the loading of *.apj firmware files with any ArduPilot |
||||||
|
compatible ground station. |
