Wiring Instructions

Secure the module to the aircraft or other equipment using the 4x M2 screw holes on the back of the sky-end module, and connect cables as shown in the diagram below.

Notes:

  • Users must prepare their own soldering iron and solder for wiring. Ensure soldered joints are secure and free from open circuits or shorts during soldering.

  • This product generates significant heat. Do not touch it directly without external heat dissipation.

  • Avoid prolonged use of the module in environments without external heat dissipation, as this may cause product damage.

  • When installing sky-end antennas:

    • Maintain a minimum spacing of 100mm between the cylindrical sections of the two antennas for optimal communication performance.

    • Keep antennas as far away as possible from metal or carbon fiber components.

    • Ensure antennas remain unobstructed during flight.

  •  

Firmware Upgrade

Follow these steps to upgrade the Sky-End module:

  1. Connect the Sky-End upgrade cable between the remote controller’s AUX interface and the Sky-End module’s UART1 interface. Connect the remote controller to a PC using a Type-C data cable.

  2. Power on the remote controller and supply power to the Sky-End module.

  3. Launch the CwGcs2BaseMainPC software. After connecting to the remote controller, set the auxiliary serial port mode to CDC<=>AUX.

  4. Open the CwGcs2RoverPC software, click "Open Firmware", and select the Sky-End firmware file.

  5. Click "Start Upgrade" and wait until the software displays a success message at the bottom.
