FC Plus Sensor Module

preview1

preview

FC Plus is a modular add-on board designed for UAV flight controllers, providing advanced telemetry, GPS, object avoidance (ToF, Sonar, IR), and LED indicators for status feedback. This repository contains the necessary documentation, hardware setup guides, sensor integration instructions, and communication protocols (LoRa/WiFi) to enhance UAV autonomy and safety.

Board Designs Overview

This repository contains a collection of FC Plus Sensor Modules Boards categorized by their transmission modes. More details about the transmission modes can be found in the Transmission Modes Classification.

Note: The PCB colors are used to visually distinguish the boards. The Antenna Diversity boards feature yellow PCBs, while the True Diversity boards are blue. The Gemini Mode boards are marked with red PCBs, and the Gemini Xrossband (GemX) boards are designed with purple PCBs for easy identification.

Note: In the following boards, the LSM303AH magnetometer was selected over other options due to its better overall performance, offering improved accuracy and reliability in magnetic field sensing. The MAX-M10S GPS module was chosen instead of the SAM-M10Q for its lower cost while still providing good performance for navigation, making it a more economical choice for the boards.

3. Gemini Mode Boards

Note:

  • The Gemini boards are actually the True Diversity boards operating in Gemini Mode.
  • To enable Gemini Mode, set the RX Antenna Mode to Gemini via Lua script.
  • Single Antenna RX boards can also operate in Gemini Mode but must use Model 5 in Model Config Matching via Lua script.
  • Gemini-capable receivers should use Model 6 in Model Config Matching.
  • Click on 🔗 Go to True Diversity Full Diversity Boards (Blue Boards) to view compatible receivers.
