ESP32 TELEMETRY RADIO

This board is a Wifi telemetry radio based on an ESP32-C3. It allows communication between a Pixhawk flight controller and a ground station (such as QGroundControl) in a simple and lightweight package.

The board is designed to plug straight into an available telemetry port on your Pixhawk flight controller, with no soldering required. Simply take a 6-wire JST-GH cable (that comes with Pixhawk flight controllers) and connect the board to the flight controller.

The ESP32 runs DroneBridge for ESP32 software, which enables the link between the vehicle and the ground station. This comes pre-flashed on the board so that the only configuration that is required is on the flight controller.

Features

• Pixhawk standard JST-GH 6 wire telemetry port for connection to the flight controller.
• 30mm flight stack footprint means easy integration with other components such as 4 in 1 ESCs.
• USB-C connector to flash updated or customised firmware to the ESP32, no external programmer required.
• Flash and boot tactile switches make these tasks easy and remove the need to use jumpers or soldering.
• 3.3V rail can provide 2A to the ESP32, ensuring full power draw from the ESP32 will never cause a problem.
• Switch mode regulation from 5V to 3.3V means little wasted energy, which is always important on UAVs.
• Extra GPIO and the 3.3V rail are exposed on the underside of the board for custom expansion.
• 1mm thick PCB means the whole board only weighs 5.36 grams!
