HAPPYMODEL X12 AIO 5in1 Flight Controller User Manual

Produto rematadoview

The HAPPYMODEL X12 AIO 5in1 Flight Controller is an advanced integrated solution designed for FPV (First Person View) drones, particularly suitable for Brushless whoop, Tinywhoop, and Toothpick drone builds. It combines a flight controller, 12A ESC (Electronic Speed Controller), and OPENVTX (Open-source Video Transmitter) into a single compact unit, offering a streamlined and powerful core for your drone.

This flight controller is notable for its integrated features, including an onboard SPI ELRS receiver (supporting ELRS TX module 2.x firmware) or SPI Frsky receiver (supporting Frsky D8/D16, REDPINE, and SFHSS), and Betaflight OSD (On-Screen Display). It supports 1-2S Lipo/LIHV batteries and is engineered to provide excellent RX and VTX range.

Setup and Wiring

Proper wiring and setup are crucial for the functionality and safety of your drone. Refer to the diagrams below for correct connections.

Wiring diagram for HAPPYMODEL X12 PNP V1.0 Flight Controller

This diagram illustrates the connection points for motors (M1-M4), camera signal, 5V output, GND, RX, TX, BAT+, and BUZ+ on the X12 PNP V1.0 flight controller, essential for proper setup.

Conexións de compoñentes:

Motores: Connect your drone's motors to the M1, M2, M3, and M4 pads as indicated on the board. Ensure correct motor direction is set in Betaflight.
Cámara: Connect your FPV camera's video signal to the 'Camera signal' pad, and its power (typically +5V and GND) to the corresponding pads.
Batería: Connect your 1-2S Lipo/LIHV battery to the BAT+ and GND pads. Observe polarity carefully.
Receiver (if external): For external receivers, connect RX and TX pads as per your receiver's protocol (e.g., SBUS, Crossfire). The PNP version does not have an onboard SPI receiver.
Zumbador: If using an external buzzer, connect it to the BUZ+ and BUZ- pads.
Tira de LED: Connect compatible LED strips to the LED_STRIP pad for visual indicators.
