OneRC R20 Instruction Manual

1. The antenna body, feeder line, and SMA connectors should avoid direct contact with metal and carbon fiber structural parts, and keep a distance of at least 10 mm.
2. When routing the feeder line, keep it away from devices with large currents and severe electromagnetic interference, such as motors and electronic speed controllers.
3. The two sky-end antennas should be kept apart from each other as much as possible, with a mutual spacing of at least 20 cm.
4. On a multi-rotor drone, the standard omnidirectional antenna at the sky end should be installed vertically downward from the horizontal plane of the fuselage.
5. On a fixed-wing drone, the antenna can be installed vertically upward or downward from the horizontal plane of the fuselage.
6. The connection between the sky-end antenna feeder line and the connectors at both ends should not be pulled forcefully or bent excessively, otherwise the feeder line will be damaged.
7. During flight, avoid having the communication between the drone and the ground end blocked by obstacles.
8. The SMA connectors of the antenna must be tightened.

Joystick Calibration

 

Steps for Dial Wheel Calibration

• Before performing the dial wheel calibration, please make sure that the left and right dial wheels of the remote control are naturally stationary and not displaced by external forces.
• In the "Dial Wheel Calibration" menu, click "Start Calibration", and then the following interface will appear.

• According to the prompts, if the two dial wheels are already at rest naturally but the output values of the joystick channels are not 0, it means that the neutral points of the dial wheels have shifted. At this time, do not touch the dial wheels and directly click "Next".

• The calibration of the neutral point has been completed. Next, calibrate the maximum limit. Follow the prompts on the interface, push each dial wheel to the maximum limit in every direction in turn, and then click "Complete Calibration".

 

Channel Settings

• The channel setting function allows you to set the travel amount, neutral point, positive and negative directions, as well as the channel mapping of each channel on the remote control.

Servo travel amount

• The default travel amount range of the remote control is from 200 to 1800. Select the target channel and input the required travel amount value, then the change can be made successfully.

 

Neutral point adjustment

• The default neutral point travel amount of the remote control is 1000. Except that the neutral point of the multi-dimensional switch can be set, the neutral points of the other channels are automatically calculated and generated according to the settings of the travel amount.

Channel reverse

Select the target channel and click the corresponding positive/negative switch to successfully set the forward and reverse directions of the channel.

 

Channel Mapping

The remote control supports a total of 21 physical channels and 32 communication channels, allowing users to freely define the mapping relationships between physical buttons, switches, joysticks, and communication channels through the mapping function. Select the target channel, click the channel mapping button, a list of switches will pop up, and then select the required switch to complete the mapping successfully.

 

 

System Settings

The system setting function can be used to set the remote control buttons, multi-dimensional switches, dials, joystick modes, USB configurations, internal and external module switching, and channel configurations.

 

Button Settings and Multi-Dimensional Switches

This function can be used to set the output mode of all buttons. By default, it is non-self-locking.

 

Regarding the working modes of self-locking and non-self-locking

Self-locking: After pressing the self-locking button, the button will bounce back, but the channel of this button will keep outputting, with the output value being 1800. When the button is pressed again, the channel output returns to 200.

Non-self-locking: When the non-self-locking button is pressed, the output of this channel is 1800. When the hand is released, the channel output returns to 200.

 

Dial wheel settings

Through this function, you can switch between the angle output and the angular velocity output of the dial wheel.

 

Mode Settings

Through this function, you can switch the joystick modes. The available modes include American style, Japanese style, Chinese style, and custom.

 

USB Settings

You can switch the configuration between USB-C video transmission and data transmission. Video transmission means that the internal software of the remote control can be used to output images, while data transmission means accessing the internal storage of the remote control via a computer and a USB cable. After selecting data transmission, the system window drops down, and the USB preference is set to [File Transfer].

 

Module Settings

Through this function, you can switch between the internal and external video transmission modules. After switching to the external module, the internal video transmission module will automatically shut down.

An external video transmission module can be connected via the E1 interface on the top of the remote control. The wire sequence definition of the E1 interface is as follows:

 

Channel Settings

 

This function allows you to save the current channel configuration as a file to the local device, and also enables you to load other channel configuration files to set up the current channel configuration.

 

 

 

 

Video Transmission

This function can be used to set up the video transmission and view its status.

 

Video Transmission Settings

The settings interface allows operations such as binding, selection of frequency point working modes, selection of baud rates, selection of modulation and coding modes, and restoring factory settings.

 

 

Image transmission status

The status interface allows you to view important status information about the link between the receiver and the transmitter.

Video and Data Transmission Forwarding and Sharing

The remote control turns on the hotspot and forwards it to the PC via Mavlink.

• First, make sure that the link connection between the remote control and the sky end is established;

• Turn on the hotspot of the remote control. Click [Settings] - [Network & Internet] - [Hotspot & Network Sharing] - [WLAN Hotspot] - [Turn On]. After turning it on, connect the PC to this hotspot;

• Open QGC and ensure that the image output is normal;

• Click [Application Settings].

 

 

• The video forwarding functions are as follows:

【General】—【Video Settings】—UDP Forwarding IP Address and Port (Enter the IP address and port of the PC's Wi-Fi) —UDP Forwarding Code Stream Settings: H265

• The Mavlink forwarding functions are as follows:

Click on 【Mavlink】—【Ground station】—【Enable Mavlink forwarding】, enter the host name. For the host name, enter the IP address and port number of the PC's Wi-Fi. After the input, you need to restart the software for the configuration to take effect.

requently Asked Questions

• Q:The data transmission cannot be connected?

• A:Check whether the baud rate setting is consistent with that of the flight controller. Check whether the TX and RX between the air unit and the flight controller are reversely connected. Check whether the data transmission levels of the flight controller are consistent (the factory default is TTL).

 

• Q:Can other apps be installed on the remote control?

• A:Yes, it can. The remote control already has the commonly used open-source flight control ground station QGC built-in.

 

• Q:How to bind the devices?

• A:Power on the air unit, and turn on the ground unit (remote control). Press the binding button on the air unit until the indicator light blinks to enter the binding state. Then click "Bind" in the RC software of the remote control to complete the binding. After binding, the page will show "Bound".

 

• Q:How to display images when using an Ethernet camera?

• A:Just make sure that the Ethernet configuration of the Android system is on the same network segment as the camera, and then set the RTSP-based streaming address corresponding to the camera in QGC.
