Arris FPV250 Programming manual

ARRIS FPV250 V2.0 Assembling Manual
Thank you for purchasing ARRIS FPV250 FPV Racing Quad copter. This is the 2.0
version, we have upgraded the flight controller to SPRacing F3, which is more
effective and responsive. Here is a simple assembling manual to assemble it.
Before we start, please prepare the following tools:
1.5mm screw driver x 1
2.0mm screw driver x 1
3.0mm sleeve x 1
Scissors x 1
Tweezers x 1
Thread Lock
1. Install the Frame
The picture below includes all the frame plate required, we need to assemble
them to be a whole frame.

1.1. Install the damper balls to the vibration damper plate, then install the
finished vibration damper plate on the battery plate. It should look like this after
you assemble it.
1.2. Install the arms
Use M3 x 12 screws on the arm like the picture below and put the red aluminum
column on the screws.

1.3. Install the bottom plate
1.4. Install the landing skid. Here we need the M3 x 6 screws and M3 nut.
Install them according to the following pictures.
For the assembled BNF and RTF version, due to the package limitation, we
changed the landing skid to the rubber one as below. For this one, we use the
M3 x 12 screws to assemble it.
1.5. Install the red aluminum column. In this step, we need to use the thread
lock and M3 x 6 screws.

1.6. Install the camera fixing plate
1.61. Prepare the parts
1.62. Put the camera fixed plate in front part as below:

1.7. Install the upper plate, use M3*6 screws, remember to use some screw
glue on all the screws.
Now we finish the assembling of the frame.
2. Install the Electronic Components
Before going to the next step, we need to understand two terms.
“CW”means the motor rotation is clockwise.
“CCW”means the motor rotation is counter-clockwise.
2.1. Solder the motor with ESC
2.11. Cut off the extra wires for brushless motor and ESC, for the motor wires,
just leave 1.5 to 2 CM length will be OK.
2.12. Put some soldering tin on motor wires and esc wires, which will be used in
the future steps. Put the 2MM heat shrink tube on the motor wire.

2.13. Pay attention to the diagram below to ensure that the motor will turn the
correct direction when assembling. For the CCW motor (with black motor cap),
you need to cross the two wires when connected to the ESC; while for the CW
motor (with silver cap), the wires should not cross and go directly to the
corresponding ESC wires.
2.2. Install the correctly soldered motor on the bottom plate of the frame. The
motor should be installed according to the following diagram. Here we use M3*7
screws with screw glue.

2.3. Install the brushless ESC
2.31. After all the motors have been installed well, stick a double-sided adhesive
tape to the position of the ESC, then place the ESC on it.
2.32. Fix the brushless ESC with cable ties, then put the heat shrink tube on the
ESC wires. (we can pick off the upper plate for easily installing purpose at this

time).
2.32. Pass all the ESC wires through the arm according to the following pictures.
All the red wires should be put in one side, and all the black wires in the other
side and then tight them by the cable tie.

2.4. Install the Power Distribution Board (PDB for short). Here we use 4 X
M3*10 nylon screws, 4 X M3 nylon nuts and 6 X M3*6 nylon columns. Pay
attention to the direction of PDB board. See pictures below：

2.41. Solder the PDB board, don`t mix up the positive and negative electrode.
2.5. Solder the wires of camera and video TX
2.51. Take out the wires for camera and video TX which has been included inside
the package.

2.52. Cut off the extra wires.
For the camera wire, divide the three wires and cut off the red and blue ones for
future use.
For the video TX wire, since we only need “+” “-” and signal, cut off the rest
black and white ones.
2.53. Use a JR male plug to solder the signal wire of the video TX, if you don`t
have such plug, you can also directly solder the signal wire of the video TX to
camera together.

2.6. Solder these wires to the PDB, since the camera using the 12V voltage,
video TX can be directly soldered on the ESC position, then connect signal wire
of video TX and camera together.
2.7. Solder the power cord and power detective cable for the F3 flight controller.
Since F3 flight controller is powered by 5V voltage, the power detective cable
can be directly soldered on the position of ESC.

2.71. Solder the XT60 plugs. Here we need two about 15cm 14AWG silicone
wires and 5cm heat shrink tubes ( for “+” and “-” use) and a XT60 male plug.
2.72. Soldered the prepared XT60 power cord to the PDB.

2.8. Install the F3 flight controller. Here we need 4 X M3 nuts. Pay attention to
the direction of the F3.
2.9. Solder the connection wires of F3 flight controller
2.91. Cut off the extra signal wires firstly, then wrap the rest wires with heat
shrink tube.

2.92. Solder the black wire to “-” position
2.93. Solder the white signal wire to the “S” position. Pay attention of the
sequence of the ESC, mistakenly solder might cause flying danger. Refers to the
following picture.

2.94. We don`t need the red positive wire, so wrap it with a heat shrink tube.
This will avoid short circuit during flight.
2.95. Soldered the pre-soldered 5V power cord on F3 according to the following
picture:

2.96. Solder the power detective cable which has been soldered well in previous
step on the F3.
2.97. Solder the buzzer. Soldered two power cord on buzzer and stick the buzzer
on bottom plate with adhesive glue. Then solder the power cord to
“Buzzer“ position of the F3 board.

2.98. Solder the receiver connection wire. Her we use R6D, which is support
SBUS.
Prepare a JR female plug, solder the black wire to negative pole, red wire to
positive pole and white to the RX.

2.10. Install the camera. Here we need 4 X M2.5 * 16 nylon screws; 4 X M3*5
nylon columns and 4 X M2.5 nylon nuts. Do not use metal screws. The pictures
below are the details of the camera mounting.

2.11. Stick the video TX on the frame with a 3M adhesive tape according to the
following picture.
