# Quick Start

This section contains the hardware connection of XBLink.

**Buy link:** <https://store.xbstation.com/xblink>

## Connection

XBLink hardware connection mainly includes Antenna, SIM, and Flight Controller, Camera.

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

XBLink support 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
Be very careful with the port antenna. Remove or Install the antennas in a **straight angle**. We are not responsible if the antenna is damaged due to physical impact

### Connect Flight Controller (Telemetry)

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.

**Note:** Config baudrate of Pixhawk to 57600,  SERIAL1\_BAUD (Default 57, it means 57600), SERIAL1\_PROTOCOL: 2 (MAVLink 2)

### XBCamera

**Note:** For another payload via CSI or HDMI, please conntact us

### Power

XBLink supports 7-16V voltage input. You can directly connect 3 S battery to power XBLink (6S battery is inefficient and unstable with long-term use)

**Note: Please use 3S battery or 12V DC Ubec** (minimum 3A) for high effective and stable performance power supply to XBLink. If you use 6S high discharge battery for drone, we are not responsible for damage.

{% hint style="info" %}
&#x20;Please check carefully, **avoid wrong between Power Port and UART Port** (also use for Cooling Fan), both is JST-GH 4 Pin. We are not responsible for this confusion.
