Cleanflight on CC3D Atom Mini: Frsky Telemetry?

Post by daneel »

Hi all,

when i flash cleanflight onto a cc3d atom mini board - will I still get Frsky Telemetry to my D4R-II receiver? If yes, which pins on the CC3D Atom Mini will provide me with the Frsky Telemetry?

Many thanks and all the best,
Michael

Hi!

Just a short notice. I got myself a CC3D atom mini and it works great, including Frsky Telemetry.

All the info needed to get this running is on the following web sites:
https://github.com/cleanflight/cleanfli ... %20CC3D.md
https://github.com/cleanflight/cleanfli ... lemetry.md

All the best,
Michael

Many thanks!

The CC3D Atom Mini even has a 2MB dataflash onboard, which can be used for in-flight logging using the cleanflight blackbox feature. All in all pretty awesome for a 15 USD flight controller ... can't be happier.

do you use Vbat, current and RSSI inputs ?

Hi Pierre,

I use the Vbat inputs, but since the CC3D hardware has no hardware voltage divider, one has to supply one. I'm using the Frsky Battery Voltage Sensor for this purpose (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... stem_.html) but it's easy to solder something like this yourself. This is connected to pin 7 of the RC_INPUT. This is then transmitted back to my Taranis through the softserial port (pin 4 of the RC_INPUT) which is connected to my Frsky D4R-II receiver.

I could connect the Frsky battery sensor directly to the D4R-II as well (skipping the FC), but I like to have this value in the FC as well, e.g., for failsafe settings.

I hope that I was able to explain myself well, English is not my native language (please excuse).

Feel free to ask any further questions.

All the best,
Michael

Hi daneel, I have also an atom CC3d board, flying a 250 smal quadcopter. I want to add FPV snd OSD, but first I would like to add RTH feature . Do you now if it is already possible in cleanflight or other 32bit platform? txh

Hi!

I do not know what the state of autonomous flight (e.g., RTH) on cleanflight is. For autonomous flight projects I'm using APM, which is a 8 bit platform. The 32 bit variant of APM is Pixhawk (which I have not used yet). I've done several autonomous flight projects (planes and copters) using APM and it works very well (Loiter, RTH, waypoint flight, ...).

All the best,
Michael

thx daneel, Im using multiwii 2.4 with RTH and it works great. Now I am building a plane also with multiwii and RTH.

But ASAP I will add a GPS to the CC3D (if it has capabilities for RTH). It is a nice and cheap board, and it flyies ok with my 250 quad. I hope the development of cleanflight could reach RTH capabilities soon...

CC3D with cleanflight is an awesome combination. CC3D is such a cheap board, but with great hardware, I really like it.

I just googled a bit:
GPS support in cleanflight is there, but experimental:
https://github.com/cleanflight/cleanfli ... ocs/Gps.md

There is also a RTH mode in cleanflight (called: GPSHOME):
https://github.com/cleanflight/cleanfli ... s/Modes.md

The GPS modes are "WORK-IN-PROGRESS".

When you search for cleanflight rth on YouTube there are some videos where it seems to work.

Should be exiting to try out :-)

All the best,
Michael

Hello,

I'm trying to use Frsky Telemetry on my CC3d and D4R-II.
To which output of the CC3Dd do I connect the D4R Telemetry-RX?
Am I right assuming it's Pin 4 of the RC_Input port?

And then: What Data is available out of the Box, i.e. without any Hardware?
Lastly: Can I connect
7 Battery Voltage sensor Enable feature VBAT. Connect to main battery using a voltage divider, 0v-3.3v input
8 RSSI Enable feature RSSI_ADC. Connect to the output of a PWM-RSSI conditioner, 0v-3.3v input

And then get Battery voltage and RSSI via Frsky Telemetry?

Greetings,
Hendrik
