Radiolink Upgraded Version SU04

PIXHAWK ultrasonic module SU04, could applicable to Radiolink PIXHWAK/ Mini PIX/TURBO PIX flight control, And the open source PIXHAWK flight control, but we must use Radiolink SU04 special FC firmware (V3.5.7 version) to use the SU04 omnidirectional obstacle avoidance ultrasonic module, other open source flight control except open source PIXHAWK does not support.automatic identification of flight control I2C, UART, MAVlink interface protocol, avoid obstacles upwards, set downwards, the first dual filtering technology, 30ms speed response, 0.4cm detection accuracy, transceiver integrated 0 blind zone, precision barrier without delay. Multiple Security technology. SU04 is intended for ages 14 years and older.

Built-in 32-bit processor

30ms Speed Response

Built-in 32-bit processor, using breakthrough hardware and software dual filtering technology, a very low latency of 30ms is achieved while ensuring accuracy.

With a high detection accuracy of 0.4cm

0.15in High Precision

With a high detection accuracy of 0.4cm, even small obstacles can be accurately captured.Detecting the dead area of the 0 blind zone, accurately positioning, not afraid of obstacles.

real-time monitoring of environmental information to detect obstacles

60 Degree Beam Angle

60° beam angle, real-time monitoring of environmental information to detect obstacles, to achieve obstacle avoidance in six directions, and to fly more easily.

Multiple Operating Modes

Multiple Operating Modes

Fire rescue: can fly along obstacles, not afraid of flying hands misjudgment, blind zone and wind, airflow,timely perception of obstacles, efficient and safe implementation of rescue.

Fruit tree plant protection: can be set on the ground for precise operation on uneven slopes.

Teaching and training: avoiding the mishandling of newcomers, the bomber can effectively protect the teaching equipment, and the teaching is more secure.

User Guide

Missionplanner

Step 1: How to connect

Download MissionPlanner on the Radiolink official website. connect the cable to the flight controller as shown, and connect the flight controller to the MissionPlanner to adjust the parameters.

Warning: When using the module, the flight controller cannot be powered by USB and needs to be powered by the battery! ! !

A. Connect PIXHAWK: Connecting the SU04 and the I2C port of PIXHAWK with a 4 pin to 4 pin wire.

B. Connecting MINIPIX:

WARNING: DOT NOT inset memory card. 4 pin to 6 pin wire is needed: the 4 pin end to SU04 and the 6 pin end to the GPS port of MINIPIX

Parameter List

Step 2: Module type setup

Click " Config/Tuning " - click on " Full Parameter " List - click " Search " in the lower right corner and input " PRX_TYPE" - input value 4 - click on the right " Write Params " to save the value.

Parameter Tree

Step 3: Setup the avoidance distance and the avoidance enable/disable

Click " Config/Tuning "-click on " Full Parameter Tree "--click on the " “AVOID”, " set the value of the AVOID_ENABLE 2--Set the value of AVOID_MARGIN 3

click on the right " Write Params " to save the value.

Click Config/Tuning

Step 4:How to Enable/Disable the avoidance function by transmitter(Optional)

Click " Config/Tuning " - click " Full Parameter List " - click " Search " in the lower right corner and enter " CH7_OPT " - enter value in the figure 40 - click on the right " Write Params " to save the value.

Step 1

Step 5 :Transmitter setting steps A

Click INITIAL SETUP on the top of the interface, then click on the " Mandatory Hardware " drop-down menu and click on " FailSafe " to view the values.

A. Toggle the switch. If the PWM value of CH7 is more than 1800, it means the avoidance function is enabled when the switch is at the bottom position.

Step 2

Step 6: Transmitter setting steps B

B. If the PWM value of CH7 is less than 1800, it means the avoidance

function is disabled when the switch is at the top position.

Button Functions of SUO4: Flight controller PIX can simultaneously support 6 SU04. front/back/left/right/upward/downward. So the direction of each module should be set. Every press on the button, the module direction changes once accordingly clockwise and the module LED flashes. Different flash frequencies mean different directions. Once-Front, Twice-Right, 3 Times-Back, 4 Times-Left, 5 Times-Downward, 6 Times- Upwards.

After completing the above configuration

Step 7: Data Check

As the data of the latest official MP is not well shown, it’s suggested to download the Radiolink' Mission Planner for MINI PIX to check data.

After the above setups are complete, the SU04 data can be checked on MP. Disconnect the PIXHAWK and restart the Mission Planner. When the MP is connecting, a new interface (as shown below) will come out automatically and the working condition of SU04 can be checked. If it doesn’t come out, please click the icon at the task bar on the desktop.

 Pixhawk configuration

Step 8: Flight Modes

Flight modes need to setup after the parameters of PIXHAWK have been set and the Ultrasonic Sensor SU04 works, the basic flight modes include 1: Stabilize, 2: Loiter.

Flight testing steps

1) Power on the drone and wait till the blue LED of PIXHAWK blinks, meaning the initialization of PIXHAWK is complete.

2) Press the safety switch about 1 to 2 seconds till the red LED of PIXHAWK is on when the blue LED of PIXHAWK is blinking.

3)Unlock the drone and the motors will begin to move if armed successfully. Push the throttle stick slowly, change the flight mode to Loiter when the drone takes off.

4) Toggle the CH7-SWA(or any other 2 position switch, it depends on which you setup at the very beginning) to turn on the avoidance function.

5) Push the throttle and aileron sticks to make the drone close to the wall/obstacle, the drone will control the racing speed and stopped at the 3 meters far from the wall/obstacle automatically. If the flight speed is too high and the distance to the wall/obstacle is less than 3meter because of the inertia, the drone will stay at 3 meters away from the wall or obstacle automatically.

Connect the pixhawk's I2C port with one end of the 4pin cable

Alt-Hold Function Downward

The Alt-Hold downward function is same as the obstacle avoidance function, the direction of SU04 downward can be setup by pressing the same button. Press the button 5 times and the LED flashes 5 times, and the direction of SU04 is set downward.

With PIXHAWK: Connect SU04 and the I2C port of PIXHAWK with a 4 pin to 4 pin wire

With MINIPIX: the 4 pin end to SU04 and the 6 pin end to the GPS port of MINIPIX. WARNING: DOT NOT inset memory card.

Parameters Setup 1: Click “INITIAL SETUP”on the top-- Click"Optional Hardware”on the left--Click “Range Finder”--Click the pull-down menu and choose “MaxbotixI2C” or “LightWareI2C". Step 2: CONFIG/TUNING-Click “Full Parameter List”-Input“RNGFND_MAX_CM”and “RNGFND_MIN_CM” click “Enter” change RNGFND_MAX_CM value to 450cm and

RNGFND_MIN_CM value to 43 cm-Click “Write Params”
