Tested hardware for BBBMINI

Posted by Mirko Denecke on October 7, 2015 at 12:15pm

This is a list of tested hardware for the BBBMINI. If you have other hardware in use, please let me know, so I can update the list.

RC Receiver

  • FlySky FS-R9B with PPM-Encoder,
  • Frsky X8R, via S.BUS, 5V VCC, R4 = 0 Ohm, R5 = not used (open), latest X8R firmware required
  • Frsky X4RSB, via S.BUS, 5V VCC, R4 = 0 Ohm, R5 = not used (open), latest X4RSB firmware required
  • Frsky D4R-II, via CPPM, 5V VCC, R4 = 0 Ohm, R5 = not used (open)
  • OrangeRX R615X, via CPPM, 5V VCC, R4 = 0 Ohm, R5 = not used (open)
  • OrangeRX R620, via S.BUS, 5V VCC, R4 = 0 Ohm, R5 = not used (open)
  • Spektrum AR7700 PPM, 5V VCC, R4 = 0 Ohm, R5 = not used (open)
  • Spektrum Satellit SPM 9645, 3.3V VCC, R4 = 0 Ohm, R5 = not used (open), has to be bind before use
  • Turnigy 9x 8C V2, 5V VCC with PPM-Encoder (Arduino nano), R4 = 1k Ohm, R5 = 2k Ohm

GPS

  • Drotek Ublox NEO-M8N GPS module, 3.3V VCC, (-B /dev/ttyO5)
  • Hobbyking Ublox NEO-7 GPS module, 5V VCC, (-B /dev/ttyO5)
  • MAX-7Q Ublox Neo-7Q GPS module, 5V VCC, (-B /dev/ttyO5)
  • BeStar BN-800, Ublox M8N GPS Module (clone I think but reports as M8N), 5V VCC (-B /dev/ttyO5)
  • BeStar BN-880, Ublox M8N GPS Module (clone I think but reports as M8N), 5V VCC (-B /dev/ttyO5)
  • Neo 6M GPS module, 3.3 V VCC (-B /dev/ttyO5)

Telemetry

  • 3DR USB-Radio connected to BBB USB port, (-C /dev/ttyUSB0)
  • 3DR UART-Radio connected to UART4, 5V VCC, (-C /dev/ttyO4)
  • Crius Bluetooth Module connected to UART4, 5V VCC, (-C /dev/rttyO4), baudrate must be set to 57600 (AT+BAUD7)

Laser altimeter

    add that line to your rc local, the link you provided is for the bepop. you would be better off looking at how the emlid or erlerobotics starts arducopter automatically. on the bbbmini github mirko provides instructions on starting arducopter. Add that line to your /etc/rc.local. My board boots quickly everytime.

    Hi Mirko,

    How to put debian on auturun mode ?. to be able to launch the bay at any time, instead run the command : 

    sudo /home/debian/arducopter -C udp:192.168.178.26:14550 -B /dev/ttyO5 

    I can follow instructions below? http://dev.ardupilot.com/wiki/building-for-bebop-on-linux/

    Regards !

    Hi Mirko, 

    Please guide me how to fly, because this is the first time I approached with quadcopter

    hello all !!

    I have a Fr Sky V8fr-II HV and arduino nano 

    I should be how to connect them with bbbmini ?

    thanks !!

      Hi Thomson,

      you need a S.BUS or PPM receiver, but your FrSky V8FR-II HV has PWM outputs. Please look for a PWM to S.BUS or PPM software (like this https://github.com/davidbuzz/BuzzsArduinoCode/tree/master/buzz_8pwm...) for your arduino nano. If the arduino nano is a 5V system, then please use R4 = 1kOhm, R5 = 2kOhm.

      Regards

      Mirko

      Thanks Mirko ! 

      I've connected the devices as you suggest but I can't control the flight , then I change the R4 = 1 k by a strand of copper wire, it works fine !

      Regards

    Hi Mirko, 

    I updated a FrSky D8R-II PLUS following this link( http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/frsky-s-cppm-at-27msec-firmware...) and is working fine. With same resistors - 1K and 2K with 5 volts 

    • Mirko Denecke > Vinicius Juvinski February 22, 2016 at 12:08pm

      Hi Vinicius,

      do you have a scope to test the output signal from the D8R-II PLUS? All FrSky that I know have 3.3V output, so you do not need resistors.

      Regards

      Mirko
