**PINIO**

* PINIO1 /PIO1 pad, Low Level by default, Low/High level switchable by Mode-USER1
* PINIO2 is for camera input switch by Modes-USER2

**Tips**

* F405-VTOL has **INAV fw** preloaded for QC

| <p>Mixing Dshot and normal PWM operation for outputs is restricted into groups, ie. enabling Dshot for an output in a group requires that ALL outputs in that group be configured and used as Dshot, rather than PWM outputs.<br>If servo and motor are mixed in same group, make sure this group run lowest PWM frequency according to the servo specification. ie. Servo supports Max. 50Hz, ESC must run at 50Hz in this group.</p> |                                                 |                                                       |                                               |                                            |                   |

* **set LOG\_BACKEND\_TYPE = 1 (File) for SD card logging**
* **If sending highspeed serial data (eg. 921600 baud) to the board, use USART1(Serial1) or USART2(Serial6).**

**Frsky Smartport Telemetry**

* non-inverted (hacked) S.Port signal
* any spare Uart\_TX
* SERIALx\_BAUD 57
* SERIALx\_OPTIONS 7
* SERIALx\_PROTOCOL 4 or 10(for yaapu)

**DJI FPV OSD (ArduPilot 4.1)**

<https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/common-msp-osd-overview.html>

* OSD\_TYPE = 3
* SERIALx\_PROTOCOL = 33
* MSP\_OPTIONS = 0 (polling mode)

**Relay(PINIO)**

* PINIO1, PIO1 pad, Low Level by default
* PINIO2, Camera switch, C1 ON by default

\# GPIOs

* PA4 PINIO1 OUTPUT GPIO(81) LOW //PIO1 pad
* PB5 PINIO2 OUTPUT GPIO(82) LOW //camera switch

\# RCx\_OPTION: RC input option

* 28 Relay On/Off
* 34 Relay2 On/Off
* 35 Relay3 On/Off
* 36 Relay4 On/Off

e.g.

* RELAY\_PIN 81 //PIO1 GPIO
* RC7\_OPTION 28 //Relay On/Off, Use CH7 of Transmitter to control PIO1 Low/High Level
* RELAY\_PIN2 82 //Camera switch GPIO
* RC8\_OPTION 34 //Relay2 On/Off, Use CH8 of Transmitter to control high/low level on PB5 pad

The configured feature will be triggered when the auxiliary switch’s pwm value becomes higher than 1800. It will be deactivated when the value falls below 1200.

Check the pwm value sent from the transmitter when the switch is high and low using the Mission Planner’s Initial Setup >> Mandatory Hardware >> Radio Calibration screen. If it does not climb higher than 1800 or lower than 1200, it is best to adjust the servo end points in the transmitter.

Tips

* F405-VTOL has **INAV fw** preloaded for QC
* Target **MATEKF405TE\_SD** is not listed in INAV configurator 4.x.x, It is supported by INAV5.0 or newer
* ArduPilot fw, set **LOG\_BACKEND\_TYPE = 1 (File)** for SD card logging
