5. Setup & Wiring

Careful attention to wiring is crucial for the proper and safe operation of your flight stack. Refer to the diagrams below for correct connections.

5.1 ESC Wiring Diagram

Connect your motors and battery to the ESC as shown. Ensure correct polarity for the battery connection. The included capacitor should be soldered to the main battery pads (BAT+ and BAT-) on the ESC to filter power noise.

5.2 Flight Controller Connections

The F765 Flight Controller supports various peripherals. Connect your camera, VTX (Video Transmitter), RC Receiver, GPS, and Buzzer according to the diagram. Pay close attention to the correct UARTs and power pins.

5.3 Montaža sklada

Mount the flight stack onto your drone frame using the provided screws, nuts, and rubber grommets. The soft mounting grommets are essential for reducing vibrations transmitted to the flight controller's gyroscopes, improving flight performance.

6. Navodila za uporabo

After completing the physical installation and wiring, proceed with the software configuration and initial flight checks.

6.1 Posodobitev in konfiguracija vdelane programske opreme

1. Povežite se z računalnikom: Use a USB cable to connect the flight controller to your computer.
2. Namesti gonilnike: Ensure necessary drivers (e.g., STM32 Virtual COM Port Driver, Zadig for DFU mode) are installed.
3. Vdelana programska oprema krmilnika leta: Open Betaflight Configurator (or your preferred flight control software). Select the correct target for the F765 FC (e.g., HGLRCF765) and flash the latest stable firmware.
4. Vdelana programska oprema ESC: Use BLHeliSuite32 to update and configure the ESCs. Ensure all ESCs are running the same firmware version.
5. Začetna konfiguracija: Follow the standard Betaflight setup wizard for sensor calibration, motor direction, receiver setup, and mode assignments.

6.2 Predpoletni pregledi

• Verify all connections are secure and correctly oriented.
• Check motor spin direction in Betaflight Motors tab (with propellers removed).
• Confirm receiver inputs respond correctly in Betaflight Receiver tab.
• Zagotovite voltage and current sensor readings are accurate.
• Perform a range check with your radio system.

7. Vzdrževanje
