Quickstart Guide

This section provides a Quickstart guide

When you received XBLink, all software has been installed, you can check your credential on your box. Note: Please do not install any software or flash XBLink

XBLink - Initial Setup

Step 1: Setup XBLink

Insert your nano SIM card

Insert nano SIM to XBLink

Connect LTE antennas

Note: Be careful with the antenna port. Remove or Install it in a straight angle. We are not responsible if the antenna is damaged due to physical impact

Connect LTE antennas to XBLink

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.

XBLink connect to Pixhawk Cube

Connect Camera

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

Note: 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.

Done

XBLink connect to Pixhawk Cube

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).

• For ArduPilot: SERIAL2_BAUD = 57(Default, it means 57600), SERIAL2_PROTOCOL=2 (MAVLink 2)

• 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

XBStationPilotApp

Step 4: Test and Flight

1. Put XBLink on your drone

2. Check the connection between XBLink to Pixhawk, Camera, SIM Card, Antennas

3. Connect battery

4. Waiting about 30s for XBLink start up

5. Check led Indicator: https://docs.xbstation.com/xblink/led-indicator
6. Open XBStationPilotApp, Login

7. Connect to GCS: QGroundcontrol or Mission Planner
