New jD-IOBoard firmware and Configurator is available.


New version of jD-IOBoard MAVLink / FrSky bridge software is now available on our download area. This version contains several bug fixes and also new features.

Also new jD-IOBoard Configurator is available on download area. New Configurator needs IOBoard firmware to be at least v0.5 to get all new features and configuration options to work.

Main IOBoard firmware fixes/features:

Voltage/Cell count improved
Output pins can now be configured
FrSky telemetry can be enabled/disabled
Ground speed is working correctly
LOW Battery alarm introduced
Request factory reset on reboot added
Rear light patterns now saves correctly
Many small optimization and fixes

Configurator features:

New tab to configure Output pin locations
Version checks for firmware
easy issue tracking, download buttons added
EEPROM saving improved
Accidental saves without parameters is now impossible
Low battery alarm threshold added
IOBoard pin orders added

Currently configurator software only works with MAVLink firmware. Board is Arduino compatible so it can be programmed easily with normal Arduino IDE in anyways users want.

There are several example programs in our repository at github. http://github.com/jdrones/

Hi JD,

is there a way to also program "MavLink"-independed blink-pattern? Could you please point me to the right direction? Thank you!

Any chance that these can be sold by 3DR here in the states so we don't have to pay so much in shipping to get them here from Thailand!

Th jdrones IO board is mostly used for easily driving leds. It's cool in that it listens to the telemetry output from the APM, interprets it and lights up the leds according to armed/disarmed status, etc. The FrSky telemetry bridge is exactly the kind of thing that we shouldn't put into the main flight controller but should instead should put on these types of separate boards.
