SIYI
This section will describe how to connect and configure Air Unit of Siyi, Pixhawk & Camera to XBLink 5G.
Hardware Setup
Connect Pixhawk
Method 1: Connect to both XBLink and Siyi Air Unit.
In case the telemetry port of flight controller is unoccupied, we highly recommend to use this method to ensure stable and reliable telemetry signal.
