(Want more options OSD UART cable options? Let us know!)

Rotor Riot F7 Betaflight

Here’s an example of how to wire it up. See here for note on Beta Flight FW.

Battery/Power Supply

2S-6S supported (), ~5W max usage

Antennas

  • M10001287 - Antenna, SINGULARITY 2.4 V2, RHCP, 100mm tube, 190mm RG178 to U.FL
  • M10001288 - Antenna, CP5.1, RHCP, 100mm tube, 190mm RG178 to U.FL

System Overview

Pairing/Binding with VTX

VTX and VRX should “pair” when both powered up by default as shipped from the factory.

Cool use cases (and things to be aware of when powering on multiple units at a time):

  • Multiple VTXs can be configured on different channels, and a single VRX can swap between channels to stream from multiple VTXs.
  • Multiple VRXs can be “paired” with a single VTX, allowing for multi view drop from a VTX
  • VTX can be configured to send over IP to VRX over VPN offering low latency stream

Software Overview

The VTX Air Unit is supported in VOXL SDK 1.6.0+.

See VTX Air Unit Software Guide for more details.

Default Settings

VTX and VRX ship with default:

  • frequency set to 5.805 GHz
  • encryption key, to generate new ones (recommended) see above
