{% 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 %}

### 2. Connect antennas

{% hint style="warning" %}
**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 %}

{% endhint %}

### 3. Connect XBCam V2

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

{% 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**](https://docs.xbstation.com/xblink-plus/user-manual/advanced-configuration/cameras-and-gimbals)

For another payload via CSI or HDMI, please contact us.
{% endhint %}

### 4. Connect Flight Controller

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

<div><figure><img src="https://752643261-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1Ot9F_Ob2Aboz1SKNK%2Fuploads%2F3pHnkRCafUecmWzN6JEW%2FPlus_Atena_XBCamV2_Cube.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=8f0e6154-c718-4d31-9548-d920017c8ae4" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>XBLink Plus connect to Pixhawk Cube</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="https://752643261-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1Ot9F_Ob2Aboz1SKNK%2Fuploads%2Fio5pXjnhVJr1E7McsB5y%2FGroup%20144.png?alt=media&#x26;token=2237afce-ee62-4625-8314-fd4cda33ed62" 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 %}

### 5. 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="https://752643261-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1Ot9F_Ob2Aboz1SKNK%2Fuploads%2FQU0iY6DX2FAsRKCSD9te%2FPower_Up_Plus.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=f6411312-d100-44aa-be76-b83f4796a657" 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 %}

### 6. Done

<figure><img src="https://752643261-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1Ot9F_Ob2Aboz1SKNK%2Fuploads%2FYKYQKDfXZMOCOF4LEF1f%2FPlus_Pixhawk_Cam_Pin_Green_Solid.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=6f226828-75c3-48c7-a96e-41ee57228c14" alt=""><figcaption><p>XBLink Plus connect to Pixhawk Cube</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="success" %}
Once XBLink Plus has **green color** continue to the [next step](#step-2-configure-flight-controller).
{% endhint %}

## 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.

## Step 4: Test and Flight

1. Put XBLink Plus on your drone
2. Check the connection between XBLink Plus to Pixhawk, Camera, SIM Card, Antennas
3. Connect battery
4. Waiting about 30s for XBLink Plus start up
5. Check led Indicator: [LED meanings](https://docs.xbstation.com/xblink-plus/user-manual/getting-started/led-indicator)
6. Open XBStationPilotApp, Login
7. Connect to GCS: QGroundControl or Mission Planner
