Cable Datasheets

ModalAI has various cables used by its systems. Below captures the cables by part number and provides pinouts and other relevant information. The Cable User Guide page has information on finding the right cable for your system and how to make your own cables with specific examples.

Note when voltages are listed as “Source” that side is an Output voltage for use by a “Load” or device on the other side. Be sure to check that two sources are not shorted together without first verifying from ModalAI if they are from the same prime source. Weights provided in grams are subject to +/-0.25 gram tolerances.

Description:

  • LTE v2 to Flight Core (DroneCode Compliant) Telemetry
  • No Power Connection, Signals + GND connections only

Where Used:

  • The M0030 Sierra 4G/LTE Modem has a spare UART port on J9 (matches the pinout of J2 as shown here)
  • This connector provides a 3.3V UART link directly to the Modem, which can be connected to FlightCore J5 (UART7) to create a 4G Telemetry or general purpose data link.
  • Note: Software support of this feature may still be in BETA form, please contact ModalAI for support
  • Flightcore side pinouts also match other DroneCode compliant connectors J6 (expansion UART4) and J10 (GNSS UART1) ports
  • The 4-pin side on the 4G LTE Modem also matches many other Serial Debug Ports on ModalAI HW and can be used as a general purpose UART converter from the 4-wire eSH format to 6-wire eGH format (DroneCode Compliant)

MCBL-00218

Description:

  • RC Input (S.Bus, FrSky)
  • Picks up Power on Red+Black, and Receive Signal on Orange from FlightCoreV2 to a R/C receiver 3-pin 0.1” hobby format
    • ModalAI conforms to the notion of Pin 1 = Signal, Pin 2 = 5V, & Pin 3 = GND for the 3-pin hobby format. Please notify us if you see anything here to the contrary.
  • Note: This is only intended for R/C receivers and cannot power high current servos or BLDCs

Where Used:

  • Power 4-pin JST (connector B): Flight Core V2 J8 and R/C signal 4-pin JST (connector C): Flight Core J12 to 3-pin Harwin M20 Receptacle (connector A) to RC Receiver (e.g. S.Bus/FrSky)
  • Note: This is not for Spektrum, which requires +3.3V. For Spektrum, please see MCBL-00005

Description:

  • RC Input (FrSky R-XSR)
  • Picks up Power on Red+Black (from CANBUS port), and Receive Signal on Yellow (R/C Port) from FlightCoreV2 to FrSky R-XSR format R/C receiver 5-pin Picoblade format
  • Note: This is just like MCBL-00021 but for FlightCoreV2 instead of FCv1

Where Used:

  • 4-pin JST (connector B, yellow cable): Flight Core V2 J12 and 4-pin JST (connector A, Red+Black cables): Flight Core V2 J8 to 5-pin Molex Picoblade (connector C) to FrSky R-XSR Receiver
  • Note if CONA and CONB are installed in the wrong/swapped ports on FCv2, damage should not occur due to the FrSKy receiving 3.3V instead of 5V, but the UART TX of the FrSky might be over-driven by the CANBUS transceiver damaging your receiver. Please install connectors carefully.
