4.4 Gwida bil-Vidjo għall-Installazzjoni

For a visual guide on installing a flight controller into a drone, please refer to the following official BETAFPV video. While this video demonstrates installation for a Meteor series drone, the general principles for connecting the flight controller and VTX module are applicable.

5. Linji Gwida Operattivi

5.1 VTX Power Settings

The integrated onboard VTX allows power adjustment from 25mW to 400mW. Higher VTX power consumes more energy and generates more heat, which can reduce flight time. For optimal flight time in indoor environments, it is recommended to use 25mW to 100mW power settings.

5.2 Ir-rabta tar-riċevitur

The Air 5IN1 Brushless Flight Controller integrates a Serial ELRS 2.4G RX with default protocol ELRS and firmware version V3.4.3. Ensure that your binding device (e.g., radio transmitter) uses the same protocol and firmware version for successful binding.

6. Manutenzjoni

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your flight controller.

• Spezzjoni Fiżika: Periodically check all solder joints and connections for any signs of damage or loose contacts.
• Ġestjoni tal-Kejbil: Ensure all cables, especially coaxial cables and antenna wires, are properly secured and not under tension to prevent damage.
• Indafa: Keep the flight controller free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft brush or compressed air for cleaning.

7 Issolvi l-problemi

Jekk tiltaqa' ma' problemi, ikkunsidra l-passi komuni li ġejjin għas-soluzzjoni tal-problemi:

• Ebda Qawwa: Check battery connection and ensure the correct polarity. Verify the flight controller receives power.
• Kwistjonijiet Vinkolanti: Confirm that your transmitter and the FC's ELRS receiver are on the same protocol and firmware version. Re-attempt the binding process as per ELRS documentation.
