Trying to ID parts.

Posted by Dean R on February 9, 2013 at 9:52am

Hi all,

Very new to the scene so thought I'd see if I can get some answers to my very basic questions.

I have just received a new Arduplane RTF from UDrones, I ordered it with FPV and 3DR Telemetry kit (433mhz Europe). I have a long way to go before I have all the necessary parts and flying skills to get it into the air. At the moment I'm looking at what I have and what each part does.

So my question is have they sent me all the correct parts, the picture below is of the telemetry kit, however the USB cable which I have 2 of only has a four pin female connector, while the ground unit has 6 pins. The air unit is plugged in with a 6 pin connector.

If anyone has some time to answer this I would be so grateful.

Deano

    Yes, that's fine. You'll only need four pins. Just plug it in so the black wire goes to the pin marked "BLK" or "GND"

    I'm not sure why they send you two FTDI cables. You only need one.
