Quickstart Guide

This section provides a Quickstart guide

When you received XBLink SAT NDAA, all software has been installed, you can check your credential on your box.

Please do not install any software or flash XBLink SAT NDAA.

Step 1: Setup XBLink SAT NDAA

1. Connect to Starlink

Connect XBLink SAT NDAA ETH0 port to Starlink RJ45 port

After that, connect the ethernet cable from satellite device

Note:

• Be careful with the ethernet cable and port. Remove or Install it in a straight angle. We are not responsible if the ethernet cable and port is damaged due to physical impact

• If you test the device on the ground, make sure the satellite device is placed outdoors with a clear view of the sky to receive satellite signals. Poor weather conditions (heavy clouds, rain, storms, etc) may also affect internet connectivity.

2. Connect XBCam V2

Connect XBCam V2 to USB type C port.

Note: We currently support variety of Cameras and Gimbals in here

3. Connect Flight Controller

You can use Telemetry 1 or 2 of Pixhawk for connection with XBLink SAT NDAA COM1/AUX

Note: Config baud rate of Pixhawk to 57600, SERIAL1_BAUD (Default 57, it means 57600), SERIAL1_PROTOCOL: 2 (MAVLink 2)

4. Power up

XBLink SAT NDAA 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)

Power up XBLink SAT NDAA

If you use low quality or high discharge 6S battery for drone, we are not responsible for damage.

5. Done

Once XBLink SAT NDAA has green color continue to the next step.

This is a setup video using the standard SAT, but the process is similar for the SAT NDAA: here

Step 2: Configure Flight Controller

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

The baud rate on XBLink SAT NDAA 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

• 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 SAT NDAA still works normally with both MAVLink 1 and MALink 2.

Step 3: Connect XBStationPilotApp and Ground Station Software

1. Download: here

2. Open XBStationPilotApp

3. Login (Username and password in XBLink SAT box)

4. Choose XBLink SAT

5. Connect to GCS

Step 4: Test and Flight

1. Put XBLink SAT NDAA on your drone

2. Check the connection between XBLink SAT NDAA to Pixhawk, Camera, Satellite device.

3. Connect battery

4. Waiting about 30s - 60s for XBLink SAT NDAA start up

5. Check led Indicator: LED meanings

6. Open XBStationPilotApp, Login

7. Connect to GCS: QGroundControl or Mission Planner
