RC Radio setup

We use the radio-based remote control setup in manual flight tests.

In the VOXL-equipped drone (Neo), we use a FrSky Taranis Q X7 as the transmitter and a FrSky X8R as the receiver.

  • The (current) setup for the switches and flight modes is as follows:
CH 5 on SF: armed/disarmed <=> up/down 
CH 6 on SA: Flight mode (Altitude/Manual/Position <=> up/middle/down)
CH 7 on SD: kill switch (null/null/kill <=> up/middle/down)

For binding or any modifications of the settings including the flight modes check out the ModalAI's instructions and PX4 Flight Modes Overview.

use the SBUS port of the FrSky X8R receiver and the VOXL flight core ports as specified here.
