{% endhint %}

#### Done

![XBLink connect to Pixhawk Cube](/files/-Md5l8xJmMoCgzY2ScCI)

### Step 2: Connect Flight Controller

You can use Telemetry 1 or 2 of pixhawk for connection with XBLink. Telemetry 1 is normally used for Telemetry Radio (like: RFD900...) and Telemetry 2 for XBLink.

The baudrate on XBLink **must be same** with Pixhawk baudrate (Telemery **1** or **2**).&#x20;

* For ArduPilot: **SERIAL2\_BAUD = 57**(Default, it means 57600), **SERIAL2\_PROTOCOL**=**2** (MAVLink 2)      &#x20;
* For PX4: **SER\_TEL2\_BAUD = 57600** (Default 921600, you should change to 57600 for save data)

**Note:** If you have problem with Telemetry 2 port, you can use Telemetry 1 Port (Default baud rate Telemetry 1 is 57600, MAVLink:1). XBLink still works normally with both MAVLink 1 and MALink 2.

### Step 3: Connect XBStationPilotApp and Ground Station Software

* Open XBStationPilotApp
* Login (Username and password in XBLink box)
* Connect to GCS

# FlightSafety

This section contains information about Flight Safety with XBLink

## GCS Failsafe

When you make a BVLOS flight in an area with weak 4G signal. Disconnection between UAV and Ground Control Station may occur. XBLink will automatically reconnect to the nearest 4G base station (4G mobile tower).

If you flight in an area not covered 4G signal, UAVs return (RTL) is necessary. So, the best way to achieve safe flight is to activate GCS Failsafe on your UAVs.

The Ground Station Control (GCS) failsafe controls how UAVs will behave if contact with the GCS is lost. The GCS failsafe monitors the time since the last MAVLink heartbeat from the GCS. If no heartbeat is received FS\_GCS\_TIMEOUT seconds (Default seconds), the GCS failsafe event will trigger based on your parameter settings. Note that if no GCS is ever connected, the GCS failsafe will remain inactive regardless of parameter settings.

Please read the Ardupilot documentation carefully to activate GCS Failsafe

### Copter

&#x20;[FS\_GCS\_ENABLE](https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/parameters.html#fs-gcs-enable) = 1 (Ground Station Failsafe Enable, switch the copter to RTL Mode. If the GPS position is not usable, the copter will change to Land Mode instead.)

&#x20;[FS\_GCS\_TIMEOUT](https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/parameters.html#fs-gcs-timeout) = 35 (Timeout before triggering the GCS failsafe. 35 seconds is the time to reconect or restart the 4G module in XBLink)

{% hint style="info" %}
More detail, follow this section: <https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/gcs-failsafe.html>
{% endhint %}

### Plane

&#x20;[FS\_GCS\_ENABL](https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/parameters.html#fs-gcs-enabl) = 1 (GCS failsafe enable)

&#x20;[FS\_LONG\_TIMEOUT](https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/parameters.html#fs-long-timeout) = 35 (he time in seconds that a failsafe condition has to persist before a long failsafe event will occur. 35 seconds is the time to reconect or restart the 4G module in XBLink)

&#x20;[FS\_LONG\_ACTN](https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/parameters.html#fs-long-actn) = 1 (ReturnToLaunch)

{% hint style="info" %}

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/npEB_8ehhlQ>" %}

## Step 2: Configure Flight Controller

You can use Telemetry 1 or 2 of Pixhawk for connection with XBLink Plus. Telemetry 1 is normally used for Telemetry Radio (like: RFD900...) and Telemetry 2 for XBLink Plus.

The baud rate on XBLink Plus **must be same** with Pixhawk baud rate (Telemetry**1** or **2**).&#x20;

* For ArduPilot : **SERIAL2\_BAUD = 57**(Default, it means 57600), &#x20;

  &#x20;                            **SERIAL2\_PROTOCOL**=**2** (MAVLink 2)     &#x20;

#### **More information:** [**here**](https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-telemetry-port-setup.html)

* For PX4: **SER\_TEL2\_BAUD = 57600** (Default 921600, you should change to 57600 for save data)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If you have problem with Telemetry 2 port, you can use Telemetry 1 Port&#x20;

(Default baud rate Telemetry 1 is 57600, MAVLink:1).&#x20;

XBLink Plus still works normally with both MAVLink 1 and MALink 2.
{% endhint %}

# Setup

This section contains the hardware connection of XBLink Plus.

XBLink Plus hardware connection mainly includes SIM, Antenna, XBCamera V2, Flight Controller and Power up.

### Nano SIM Card <a href="#sim-card" id="sim-card"></a>

XBLink Plus supports push-push NanoSim connector.

Insert your SIM card into the SIM Card slot, the chip contacts have to **face up**.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
The SIM card is recessed into the enclosure and you might need a tool to push it into the socket. You can hear a click when the card is inserted.
{% endhint %}

To remove the SIM card, push onto the card with a tool. You can hear a "click" and the card will be pushed out of the enclosure. To remove the card again, push it in once more and it will pop out.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/V7UhOgnjBsZho5SShYUK" alt=""><figcaption><p>      SIM Card must be faced up</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/vvXcDaMqjYFlP3CsIP4y" alt=""><figcaption><p>Push in/out card by using tool</p></figcaption></figure></div>

### Antenna <a href="#antenna" id="antenna"></a>

Connect the four LTE antennas to the MMCX connectors.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/ftIcmMZ5RQ4xNuDXDNhc" alt=""><figcaption><p> Connect LTE Antennas to XBLink Plus </p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Note:** Be careful with the antenna port. Remove or Install it in a **straight angle**.

&#x20;**We are not responsible if the antenna is damaged due to physical impact**&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Antenna installation and removal instructions:** [**here**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAXGtti88gc)
{% endhint %}

### XBCam V2

Connect XBCam V2 to USB type C port.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/Dsxv7yQkUNVtWEf5bcN5" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>Connect XBCamera V2 to XBLink Plus </p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="danger" %}
Please don't connect any HDMI cameras like Gopro,... to **CSI port**. This is **CSI** not **HDMI port**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**  We currently support variety of Cameras and Gimbals in [**here**](/xblink-plus/user-manual/advanced-configuration/cameras-and-gimbals)

&#x20;           For another payload via **CSI** or **HDMI**, please contact us.
{% endhint %}

### Connect Flight Controller (Telemetry)

You can use Telemetry 1 or 2 of Pixhawk for connection with XBLink Plus via [**COM1/2**](/xblink-plus/user-manual/getting-started/interfaces#com1-2-j3) (optional) or [**COM3**](/xblink-plus/user-manual/getting-started/interfaces#gps-com3-j4) port.

<div><figure><img src="/files/ktJBINgH6Iqukpm98ClV" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>Connect <em>Pixhawk</em>  to XBLink Plus</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/1JhHfwnUI4slh2M0yX1m" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Config baud rate of Pixhawk to 57600,  SERIAL1\_BAUD (Default 57, it means 57600), SERIAL1\_PROTOCOL: 2 (MAVLink 2)
{% endhint %}

### Power up

XBLink Plus supports 7-30V voltage input. We highly recommend **3-4 S battery  or 12V DC UBEC** (minimum 3A)  to power (6S battery is possible but make sure it's high quality and low discharge)

<figure><img src="/files/Ud6s8MnYYAGcPv7G9cbH" alt=""><figcaption><p>Power up XBlink Plus</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you use low quality or high discharge 6S battery for drone, we are not responsible for damage.
{% endhint %}

### Done

<figure><img src="/files/pfHEFbsZrNRcCDApgOhN" alt=""><figcaption><p>Completion of setup XBLink Plus</p></figcaption></figure>

Once XBLink Plus has green color continue to the next step to connect it to [XBStationPillotApp](/xblink-plus/user-manual/xbstationpilotapp).

<figure><img src="/files/M1EK8UVbZXKx5ZmmsSNS" alt=""><figcaption><p>Telemetry Setting</p></figcaption></figure>

**a. Telemetry Host port**

TCP telemetry server port, Ground Control Station can connect to this port via TCP to get telemetry data. Default is **5760 (or 5761, please see on XBStationPilotApp)**

**b. Telemetry stream protocol**

Telemetry data is relayed through internet in 2 connections method:

* UDP to archive minimize latency (possible packet loss, suitable for Joystick mode)
* TCP method to achieve high reliability (**default**)

#### 2. Serial Setting

<figure><img src="/files/JGDvCRwSIQVqR3GVFsFh" alt=""><figcaption><p>Serial Setting</p></figcaption></figure>

**a. Serial Port**

Port allows you to choose serial port on companion computer

{% hint style="info" %}
Choose option is ttyS0 if you connect to **COM1** ( ttyAMA4 -> **COM2** or ttyAMA5  -> **COM3**)&#x20;
{% endhint %}

**b. Serial Baudrate**

Baudrate allows you to choose serial baudrate on companion computer

The baudrate on companion computer have to same the baudrate (telemetry 2) on Pixhawk

* With PX4: **SER\_TEL2\_BAUD** (Default 921600), you should change **57600** for stable and save data.
* With ArduPilot : **SERIAL2\_BAUD** (Default **57**, it means 57600), \
  &#x20;                             **SERIAL2\_PROTOCOL**: **2** (MAVLink 2)

{% hint style="info" %}

# Secondary Pilot Connections

## Overview

<figure><img src="https://cdn-images.xbstation.com/secondary-pilot-overview.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The XBStation Pilot App is designed to manage and control pilot accounts through a hierarchical structure of MainPilot and Secondary Pilots. The MainPilot serves as the primary account, with full control and management capabilities, while Secondary Pilots act as auxiliary accounts linked to the MainPilot. This structure allows for flexibility in account management, enabling multiple users to access and control different aspects of the system while maintaining overall control through the MainPilot.

* MainPilot Mode: The MainPilot connection is the central account with complete access and control over the system. The main pilot operates independently of the secondary pilot's connection. The main pilot only loses connection or is logged out when another user with main pilot rights logs in. This implies that the system does not allow multiple users with main pilot rights to be connected simultaneously, enforcing a single active session for the main pilot role.
* &#x20;Secondary Pilots: These are auxiliary accounts linked to the MainPilot. They allow different users to log in and control specific aspects of the system, providing flexibility and enhancing collaborative operations.&#x20;
  * Secondary Pilots are only accessible once the main pilot key has been set.
  * The system is configured to allow a certain number of secondary pilots to connect simultaneously. If over this certain number, the system then disconnects one of the currently connected secondary pilots to allow the new one to connect

## **Activation**

You need to purchase a subscription to activate this feature:

1. **Access the Payment Page in XBStationPilotApp:**

   * Navigate to the `Payment` section and select the `Products` option.
   * Choose the desired package(s) to purchase.

<figure><img src="https://cdn-images.xbstation.com/secondary-payment-success.webp" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## **USAGE**

* Setting the Main Pilot Key:

  * To activate the main pilot key, go to the app’s main menu, select 'Pilot Connection,' enter the password, and press 'UPDATE.'

  <figure><img src="https://cdn-images.xbstation.com/secondary-payment-update-key.webp" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

  * After setting the main pilot key, restart the app.&#x20;
    * Tick the MainPilot checkbox and input the key, your connection will be logged in as main pilot

  <figure><img src="https://cdn-images.xbstation.com/secondary-login.webp" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

  * If the MainPilot box is not checked after setting the key, the system will automatically default to Secondary Pilot mode.

{% hint style="info" %}
If another user logs in under MainPilot mode, the initially logged-in account will lose connection. This ensures that only one MainPilot account maintains control at a time.

Secondary Pilots can only be activated after the main pilot key has been set.

Multiple secondary pilots logging in: If multiple Secondary Pilots are logged in, the system will prioritize connections based on login order, with the earliest login losing connection if the maximum number of Secondary Pilots is exceeded.

# FlightSafety

This section contains information about Flight Safety with XBLink Plus

## GCS Failsafe

When you make a BVLOS flight in an area with weak 4G signal. Disconnection between UAV and Ground Control Station may occur. XBLink will automatically reconnect to the nearest 4G base station (4G mobile tower).

If you flight in an area not covered 4G signal, UAVs return (RTL) is necessary. So, the best way to achieve safe flight is to activate GCS Failsafe on your UAVs.

The Ground Station Control (GCS) failsafe controls how UAVs will behave if contact with the GCS is lost. The GCS failsafe monitors the time since the last MAVLink heartbeat from the GCS. If no heartbeat is received FS\_GCS\_TIMEOUT seconds (Default seconds), the GCS failsafe event will trigger based on your parameter settings. Note that if no GCS is ever connected, the GCS failsafe will remain inactive regardless of parameter settings.

Please read the Ardupilot documentation carefully to activate GCS Failsafe

### Copter

&#x20;[FS\_GCS\_ENABLE](https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/parameters.html#fs-gcs-enable) = 1 (Ground Station Failsafe Enable, switch the copter to RTL Mode. If the GPS position is not usable, the copter will change to Land Mode instead.)

&#x20;[FS\_GCS\_TIMEOUT](https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/parameters.html#fs-gcs-timeout) = 35 (Timeout before triggering the GCS failsafe. 35 seconds is the time to reconnect or restart the 4G module in XBLink)

{% hint style="info" %}
More detail, follow this section: <https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/gcs-failsafe.html>
{% endhint %}

### Plane

&#x20;[FS\_GCS\_ENABL](https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/parameters.html#fs-gcs-enabl) = 1 (GCS failsafe enable)

&#x20;[FS\_LONG\_TIMEOUT](https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/parameters.html#fs-long-timeout) = 35 (he time in seconds that a failsafe condition has to persist before a long failsafe event will occur. 35 seconds is the time to reconect or restart the 4G module in XBLink)

&#x20;[FS\_LONG\_ACTN](https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/parameters.html#fs-long-actn) = 1 (ReturnToLaunch)

{% endhint %}

### 5. Power up

XBLink Mini supports 7-30V voltage input. We highly recommend **3-4 S battery or 12V DC UBEC** **(minimum 1.42A)** to power (6S battery is possible but make sure its high quality and low discharge)

<figure><img src="https://files.gitbook.com/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FTEnid8slfk8yG87EyboI%2Fuploads%2FVtnxLpuWSrRhbCjZ9hka%2FPower_jst_MINI.png?alt=media&#x26;token=84ae08aa-896b-4bc7-969a-2f0e2b32bba0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you use low quality or high discharge 6S battery for drone, we are not responsible for damage.
{% endhint %}

### 6. Done

{% hint style="success" %}
Once XBLink Mini's LED has blinked a g**reen color** continue to the [next step](#step-2-configure-flight-controller).

## Step 2: Configure Flight Controller

You can use Telemetry 1 or 2 of Pixhawk for connection with XBLink Mini. Telemetry 1 is normally used for Telemetry Radio (like: RFD900...) and Telemetry 2 for XBLink Mini.

The baud rate on XBLink Mini **must be same** with Pixhawk baud rate (Telemetry **1** or **2**).

* For ArduPilot : **SERIAL2\_BAUD = 57**(Default, it means 57600),

  **SERIAL2\_PROTOCOL**=**2** (MAVLink 2)

#### **More information:** [**here**](https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-telemetry-port-setup.html)

* For PX4: **SER\_TEL2\_BAUD = 57600** (Default 921600, you should change to 57600 for save data)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If you have problem with Telemetry 2 port, you can use Telemetry 1 Port

(Default baud rate Telemetry 1 is 57600, MAVLink:1).

XBLink Mini still works normally with both MAVLink 1 and MAVLink 2.
{% endhint %}
