A friend gave me an older(?) 3DR radio?

Anyway, it has 4 leads/wires coming off the "flying" portion.

Can someone take a look at the pic and tell me which of the 6 board connections need wires soldered to them, and to which pins on the APM 2.5 they should go?

And...maybe this isn't worth the trouble?  Maybe I should just get a new 3DR telemetry setup?

Thanks...

  • Thomas... As far as I know... It is an actual 3DR radio... But really, I can't be sure.

    The main issue is that there are supposed to be 5 wires going IN to the APM 2.5 from the radio (though only FOUR go into the APM 2.0...and this is why I think this isan "old" radio, as it appears it is wired for an APM 2.0?).

    I am pretty sure that if I can solder 5 wires to the correct 5 pads on the back of the radio (and not use that connector at all), and connect those 5 wires to the correct 5 pins on the APM 2.5, I just might be able to get it to work.

    But....

    Even if I get those wires correct, I wonder if there is something else about thos old radio... Firmware... Whatever... That will prevent it from working with the APM 2.5?
