TIP

Most users will not need to build this firmware. It is pre-built and automatically installed by QGroundControl when appropriate hardware is connected.

To build PX4 for this target from source:

make nwblue_pro-h757_default

Radio Control

Для того щоб керувати транспортним засобом вручну, потрібна система радіоуправління (RC) (PX4 не потребує системи радіоуправління для автономних режимів польоту).

Вам потрібно вибрати сумісний передавач/приймач і зв'язати їх таким чином, щоб вони взаємодіяли (ознайомтеся з інструкціями, що додаються до вашого конкретного передавача/приймача).

The RC connector is wired directly to the FMU (UART4) and powered from the 5 V rail. PX4 autodetects receivers on this port that use S.BUS, S.BUS2, Spektrum DSM / DSM2 / DSM-X, Yuneec ST24, Graupner SUMD, CRSF, or GHST. PPM is not supported: the RC pins have no capture channel on the timer that PX4 uses for PPM decoding.

Both TX and RX are broken out, so CRSF and GHST telemetry back to the transmitter works over the same cable.

GPS & Compass

The GPS connector carries GPS1 (UART8) together with the external I2C bus for a compass. The module should be mounted on the frame as far away from other electronics as possible, with the direction marker pointing towards the front of the vehicle.

Налаштування послідовного порту

UART	Пристрій	PX4 Default	З’єднання	Pins (TX / RX)
USART1	/dev/ttyS0	TEL3	ESC	— / PB7
USART2	/dev/ttyS1	—	VTX	— / PA3
UART4	/dev/ttyS2	RC	RC	PA0 / PB8
USART6	/dev/ttyS3	TEL2	VTX	PC6 / PC7
UART7	/dev/ttyS4	TEL1	TELEM1	PE8 / PE7
UART8	/dev/ttyS5	GPS1	GPS	PE1 / PE0

No port has flow control. USART1 and USART2 are receive-only: only the RX pin is broken out.

TEL3 is the ESC telemetry input and is configured for it by default (DSHOT_TEL_CFG = 103).

PWM Виходи

The board provides 9 PWM outputs, all of which support DShot. Outputs 1 to 4 are on the ESC connector, outputs 5 to 9 on the PWM AUX connector.

The outputs are split across 4 timer groups:

Виводи	Таймер
1, 2, 3, 4	Timer1
5, 6	Timer4
7, 8	Timer3
9	Timer2

All outputs within the same group must use the same protocol and update rate.

Bidirectional DShot works on every output except output 6. That output is TIM4_CH4, and the STM32H7 DMAMUX has no request line for it, so the capture DMA needed for the ESC response cannot be set up. Use output 6 for plain DShot or PWM.

OSD

There is no analog OSD chip on this board, so analog video cannot be overlaid. An HD VTX can render the OSD itself over MSP DisplayPort: connect it to the VTX connector (USART6, TEL2) and set MSP_OSD_CONFIG to 102. See OSD for details.

The port is not claimed by default, so it can be used for MAVLink or any other protocol instead.

Battery Monitoring

The board is powered from the ESC connector. The voltage divider is set by default (BAT1_V_DIV = 21.0).

Current sensing is fed from the ESC connector, so BAT1_A_PER_V depends on the current sensor in use and has to be calibrated.

Відладочний порт

There is no dedicated debug UART. The system console and MAVLink both run over USB. SWD is broken out for use with a debugger.

Оновлення завантажувача PX4

Boards that ship without the PX4 bootloader must have it flashed before PX4 firmware can be installed. Download the nwblue_pro-h757_bootloader.bin bootloader binary and follow the DFU Bootloader Update instructions.

Once the PX4 bootloader is flashed, firmware can be installed normally via QGroundControl.
