|
## Pinout
|
||
|
|
||
|
![CubeOrange Board](CubeOrange-pinout.jpg "CubeOrange")
|
||
|
|
||
|
On each connector the red dot indicates pin 1.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## UART Mapping
|
||
|
|
||
|
- SERIAL0 -> USB
|
||
|
- SERIAL1 -> UART2 (Telem1)
|
||
|
- SERIAL2 -> UART3 (Telem2)
|
||
|
- SERIAL3 -> UART4 (GPS)
|
||
|
- SERIAL4 -> UART8 (GPS2)
|
||
|
- SERIAL5 -> UART7 (spare, CONS)
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Telem1 and Telem2 ports have RTS/CTS pins, the other UARTs do not
|
||
|
have RTS/CTS.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The CONS port was originally used as a debug console, but is now a
|
||
|
general purpose UART (debug output is now on USB).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Connectors
|
||
|
|
||
|
Unless noted otherwise all connectors are JST GH 1.25mm pitch
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
The CONS port is an additional UART connected to SERIAL5. The pinout
|
||
|
in the CONS port table below is ordered so that the GND pin is closest
|
||
|
to the cube. The TX pin is closest to the servo rail.

### SBUS Out port
|
||
|
|
||
|
The SBUSo port is a port attached to the IO processor which can be
|
||
|
used to output all servo channels via SBUS. It is enabled by setting
|
||
|
the BRD_SBUS_OUT parameter.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The pinout below for the SBUSo port is labelled so that GND is closest
|
||
|
to the cube. The 5V pin on the SBUS output port is connected to the
|
||
|
servo rail.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When SBUS output is disabled (by setting BRD_SBUS_OUT to 0) you can
|
||
|
use the port for analog RSSI input from receivers. To enable for RSSI
|
||
|
input you need to set:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- BRD_SBUS_OUT 0
|
||
|
- RSSI_TYPE 1
|
||
|
- RSSI_PIN 103
|
||
|
|
||
|
You cannot have both SBUS output and analog RSSI input at the same time.

### SPKT port
|
||
|
|
||
|
The SPKT port provides a connector for Spektrum satellite
|
||
|
receivers. It is needed to allow for software controlled binding of
|
||
|
satellite receivers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The pinout of the SPKT port given below is given with the 3.3V power
|
||
|
pin closest to the cube (pin 3).

### FMU and IO SWD
|
||
|
|
||
|
When the case is removed there are two SWD connectors, one for FMU and
|
||
|
the other for IOMCU. The IO SWD connector is the one closer to the
|
||
|
servo rail. The GND pin of both connectors is the one furthest from
|
||
|
the servo rail.

## RC Input
|
||
|
|
||
|
RC input is configured on the RCIN pin, at one end of the servo rail,
|
||
|
marked RCIN in the above diagram. This pin supports all RC
|
||
|
protocols. In addition there is a dedicated Spektrum satellite port
|
||
|
which supports software power control, allowing for binding of
|
||
|
Spektrum satellite receivers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## PWM Output
|
||
|
|
||
|
The CubeOrange supports up to 14 PWM outputs. First first 8 outputs (labelled
|
||
|
"MAIN") are controlled by a dedicated STM32F100 IO controller. These 8
|
||
|
outputs support all PWM output formats, but not DShot.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The remaining 6 outputs (labelled AUX1 to AUX6) are the "auxiliary"
|
||
|
outputs. These are directly attached to the STM32H743 and support all
|
||
|
PWM protocols as well as DShot.
|
||
|
|
||
|
All 14 PWM outputs have GND on the top row, 5V on the middle row and
|
||
|
signal on the bottom row.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The 8 main PWM outputs are in 3 groups:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- PWM 1 and 2 in group1
|
||
|
- PWM 3 and 4 in group2
|
||
|
- PWM 5, 6, 7 and 8 in group3
|
||
|
|
||
|
The 6 auxiliary PWM outputs are in 2 groups:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- PWM 1, 2, 3 and 4 in group1
|
||
|
- PWM 5 and 6 in group2
|
||
|
|
||
|
Channels within the same group need to use the same output rate. If
|
||
|
any channel in a group uses DShot then all channels in the group need
|
||
|
to use DShot.

||

|
## Battery Monitoring
|
||
|
|
||
|
The board has two dedicated power monitor ports on 6 pin
|
||
|
connectors. The correct battery setting parameters are dependent on
|
||
|
the type of power brick which is connected.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Compass
|
||
|
|
||
|
The CubeOrangePlus has an AK09916 builtin compass that is part of the
|
||
|
ICM20948 IMU.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## GPIOs
|
||
|
|
||
|
The 6 PWM ports can be used as GPIOs (relays, buttons, RPM etc). To
|
||
|
use them you need to limit the number of these pins that is used for
|
||
|
PWM by setting the BRD_PWM_COUNT to a number less than 6. For example
|
||
|
if you set BRD_PWM_COUNT to 4 then PWM5 and PWM6 will be available for
|
||
|
use as GPIOs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The numbering of the GPIOs for PIN variables in ArduPilot is:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- PWM1 50
|
||
|
- PWM2 51
|
||
|
- PWM3 52
|
||
|
- PWM4 53
|
||
|
- PWM5 54
|
||
|
- PWM6 55
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Analog inputs
|
||
|
|
||
|
The CubeOrange has 7 analog inputs
|
||
|
|
||
|
- ADC Pin14 -> Battery Voltage
|
||
|
- ADC Pin15 -> Battery Current Sensor
|
||
|
- ADC Pin13 -> Battery2 Voltage
|
||
|
- ADC Pin4 -> Battery2 Current Sensor
|
||
|
- ADC Pin18 -> Vdd 5V supply sense
|
||
|
- ADC Pin8 -> ADC port input
|
||
|
- ADC Pin103 -> RSSI voltage monitoring
|
||
|
|
||
|
## IMU Heater
|
||
|
|
||
|
The IMU heater in the CubeOrange can be controlled with the
|
||
|
BRD_HEAT_TARG parameter, which is in degrees C.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Loading Firmware
|
||
|
|
||
|
The board comes pre-installed with an ArduPilot compatible bootloader,
|
||
|
allowing the loading of *.apj firmware files with any ArduPilot
|
||
|
compatible ground station.
