RC Input

All compatible RC protocols can be decoded by attaching the Receiver's output to the SBUS input pin next to the Servo/Output VCC input connector. Note that some protocols such as CRSF or FPort including telemetry, require connection to, and setup of, one of the UARTs instead of this pin.

PWM Output

The PixSurveyA2 supports up to 14 PWM outputs. First first 8 outputs (labelled 1 to 8) are controlled by a dedicated STM32F103 IO controller. These 8 outputs support all PWM output formats, but not DShot.

The remaining 6 outputs (labelled 9 to 14) 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 Monitor Settings

These should already be set by default. However, if lost or changed:

Enable Battery monitor with these parameter settings :

:ref:BATT_MONITOR<BATT_MONITOR> =4

Then reboot.

DroneCAN capability

There are 2 CAN ports which allow connecting two independant CAN bus outputs. Each of these can have multiple CAN peripheral devices connected.
