Wiring Diagram

CSKY405 Wiring

UART Mapping

The UARTs are marked Rn and Tn in the above pinouts. The Rn pin is the receive pin for UARTn. The Tn pin is the transmit pin for UARTn.

  • SERIAL0 -> USB
  • SERIAL1 -> UART4 (MAVLink2 telem)
  • SERIAL2 -> USART1 (Serial RC input) (DMA capable)
  • SERIAL3 -> UART5 (GPS)
  • SERIAL4 -> USART3 (User) (TX DMA capable)
  • SERIAL5 -> USART6 (User) (TX DMA capable)
  • SERIAL6 -> USART2(DMA Capable) (RX2 normally only used for single wire RC inputs (SBUS)PPM,etc.)t, but can be used as normal UART if :ref:BRD_ALT_CONFIG<> =1)

RC Input

RC input is configured on the RX2 pin (inverted and sent to UART2_RX). It supports all single wire RC protocols except serial protocols such as CRSF, ELRS, etc. Instead, these devices can be connected using both TX2 and RX2 if if :ref:BRD_ALT_CONFIG<BRD_ALT_CONFIG> =1 and :ref:SERIAL6_PROTOCOL<SERIAL6_PROTOCOL> set to "23".

OSD Support

The CSKY405 supports using its internal OSD using OSD_TYPE 1 (MAX7456 driver). External OSD support such as DJI or DisplayPort is supported using USART6 or any other free Uaet. See :ref:common-msp-osd-overview-4.2 for more info.

PWM Output

The CSKY405 supports up to 10 PWM outputs. All outputs support DShot.

The PWM is in 5 groups:

  • PWM 1 in group1
  • PWM 2 in group2
  • PWM 3,4 in group3
  • PWM 5,6,10 in group4
  • PWM 7 in group5
  • PWM 8,9 in group6

Battery Monitoring

The board has a builting voltage and current sensors. The current sensor can read up to 90A continuosly, 215 Amps peak. The voltage sensor can handle up to 6S LiPo batteries.

The correct battery setting parameters are set by default and are:

  • BATT_MONITOR 4
  • BATT_VOLT_PIN 14
  • BATT_CURR_PIN 7
  • BATT_VOLT_MULT 21.0
  • BATT_AMP_PERVLT 10.35

Compass

The CSKY405 does not have a built-in compass, but you can attach an external compass using I2C on the SDA and SCL pads.

VTX power control

GPIO 84 controls the VTX BEC output to pins marked "12V". Setting this GPIO high removes voltage supply to pins.

Loading Firmware

Firmware for these boards can be found at https://firmware.ardupilot.org in sub-folders labeled CSKY405.

Initial firmware load can be done with DFU by plugging in USB with the boot button pressed. Then you should load the "CSKY405_bl.hex" firmware, using your favourite DFU loading tool.

Subsequently, you can update firmware with Mission Planner.
