5. Guía de configuración

This section outlines the general steps for setting up your Flight Controller (FC) and Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). Specific wiring diagrams are crucial for correct assembly and should be referenced from the manufacturer's official resources if available. Always ensure your drone frame is compatible with 30.5x30.5mm mounting patterns.

5.1 Mounting the FC and ESC

1. Carefully place the silicone shock-absorbing rings into the mounting holes of your drone frame.
2. Mount the 4IN1 ESC onto the frame using the provided nylon nuts, ensuring it is securely fastened but not overtightened.
3. Mount the Flight Controller on top of the ESC, aligning the mounting holes. Use additional nylon nuts if necessary.
4. Ensure proper orientation of both the FC and ESC as per your drone's design and flight controller software settings.

5.2 Conexións de cableado

• FC to ESC: Connect the FC to the 4IN1 ESC using the provided Flight Controller Adapter Cable. Ensure motor outputs (M1-M6) on the FC correspond to the correct motor inputs on the ESC.
• Potencia: Solder the XT60 power cable to the designated battery pads on the 4IN1 ESC. Pay close attention to positive (+) and negative (-) polarity.
• Motores: Connect your drone's motors to the appropriate pads on the 4IN1 ESC.
• Unidade aérea DJI: The GEP-F405-HD V3 FC supports direct plugging into a DJI Air Unit using the dedicated adapter cable.
• Cámara: Connect your FPV camera using the provided camera connection cable to the designated CAM input on the FC.
• Receptor: Connect your receiver to one of the available UARTs on the FC.
• GPS/Outros periféricos: Connect any other peripherals (e.g., GPS, VTX) to the remaining UARTs or dedicated pads as required.

5.3 Firmware Configuration

1. Connect the Flight Controller to your computer via the Type-C USB interface.
2. Open BetaFlight Configurator (or similar flight controller software).
3. Flash the appropriate firmware target (GEPRCF405 for the FC, B_X_30 for the ESCs) if not already installed or if an update is desired.
4. Configure your drone's settings, including motor directions, ESC protocols (Dshot 150/300/600), receiver type, OSD elements, and flight modes.
5. Calibra o acelerómetro e o xiroscopio.

6. Instrucións de funcionamento

Once your drone is fully assembled and configured, follow these general operating guidelines:

• Comprobación previa ao voo: Always perform a thorough pre-flight check. Verify all connections, propeller directions, battery charge, and radio control functionality.
• Armado: Arm your drone only in a safe, open area, clear of people and obstacles. Ensure your throttle is at its lowest position before arming.
• Voo: Start with gentle maneuvers to confirm stability and control. Gradually increase speed and complexity as you become more comfortable.
• Desarmado: Disarm your drone immediately after landing or in an emergency.
• Xestión da batería: Monitor your battery voltage during flight. Land before the battery voltage drops too low to prevent damage to the battery and potential crashes.

7. Mantemento

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your flight controller and ESCs:

• Limpeza: Periodically clean the components to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Use compressed air or a soft brush. Avoid using liquids directly on electronics.
• Inspección: Visually inspect all solder joints and connections for signs of corrosion, damage, or loose wires. Check for any physical damage to the boards or components.
• Actualizacións de firmware: Keep your flight controller and ESC firmware updated to the latest stable versions to benefit from performance improvements and bug fixes.
• Almacenamento: When not in use, store your drone and components in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

8 Solución de problemas

Se tes problemas, ten en conta os seguintes pasos habituais para a súa resolución:

• Sen enerxía: Check battery connections, XT60 cable, and ensure no short circuits are present. Verify battery is charged.
• Motores que non xiran: Confirm ESC is receiving power. Check motor connections to the ESC. Verify motor protocol in BetaFlight. Ensure motors are correctly configured and armed.
• Voo inestable: Re-calibrate accelerometers and gyroscopes. Check for loose components or damaged propellers. Verify PID settings are appropriate for your drone.
• Sen pantalla OSD: Ensure OSD is enabled in BetaFlight and video connections are correct.
• Problemas de conexión (USB): Try a different USB cable or port. Ensure BetaFlight Configurator is up-to-date.
• Problemas intermitentes: Inspect all solder joints for cold joints or bridges. Check for vibrations affecting the FC.

9. Consellos de usuario

• Soldering Quality: Good soldering is paramount for reliable FPV drone electronics. Use appropriate soldering iron temperature, flux, and leaded solder for strong, clean joints.
• Xestión de vibracións: Utilize the provided silicone shock-absorbing rings effectively to minimize vibrations reaching the flight controller, which can negatively impact flight performance.
• Xestión de cables Keep wiring neat and tidy to prevent interference, accidental disconnections, and damage from propellers.
• Proba: After any significant changes or repairs, perform a bench test (without propellers) to verify motor functionality and control inputs before actual flight.
