Basic setup
Please, follow carefully these next steps, and always remove your propellers when you’re
configuring your quad
Step 1: Plug USB cable and connect Radiance with the computer then open BetaFlight
Step 2: Configure Ports.
(1) Turn on MSP of UART 1 to use OSD.
(2) Turn on Serial Rx of UART 2 to use Receiver Mode
(3) Select SmartPort of UART 3 to use S.Port of Receiver.
* Note: Please check in connection to correct select for this function.
Step 3: Go to Configuration and choose ESC/Motor protocol in ESC/Motor Features

Step 4: Select Serial- based receiver in Receiver Mode
If you are using SBus, iBus or a Spektrum Satellite, you will need to pick your Serial Receiver
Provider. Follow this table:
RX Type
Serial Receiver Provider
DSM2 Satellite
SPEKTRUM1024
DSMX Satellite
SPEKTRUM2048
FrSky RX
SBUS
Futaba RX
SBUS
FlySky RX
IBUS
Turnigy RX
IBUS
Ex: If you use SPD15 or XSR Receiver then you choose SBUS in Serial Receiver Provider.
Go to CLI and type the following commands:
set sbus_inversion = ON
save
If you use LR1000D Receiver please type:
set sbus_inversion = ON
save

Step 5: Go to Receiver tab to configure the receiver and select the channel mapping
compatible with your transmitter.
Ex: Choose 3rd mapping (JR/ Spektrum/ Graupner) if you use FrSky Receiver.
Step 6: Go to Modes to set ARM range and choose auxiliary functions Aux.
* Note: the Aux number associated with the switch you will use for arming, other modes
function

Tips
How to configure your Spektrum RX with your flight controller:
In Betaflight Configurator:
Go to the Ports tab
Enable “Serial RX” on the UART 2
Click “Save”.
Then go to the Configuration tab. Under the section labeled “Receiver”, pick
SPEKTRUM2048.(Note: If you are using a DSM2 receiver, pick SPEKTRUM1024.)
Click “Save”.

Finally, go to the Receiver tab. Pull down the drop down that says “Channel Map” and select
the “JR / Spektrum / Graupner” option.
Once again, click “Save”.
How to turn on bind mode
Safety warning: never plug battery to the quad during setup.
Connect quadcopter to the computer and go to Command-line interface (CLI) tab.
Remember to type “save” and hit enter after these commands have been executed.
Type in the commands as pictured above, or copy and paste them from below:
set spektrum_sat_bind=9
set spektrum_sat_bind_autorst=0
save

Note –if you are using a DSM2 receiver, change “set spektrum_sat_bind=9” to
“set spektrum_sat_bind=5”
Reboot your flight controller by unplugging the flight controller from your PC then plugging it
back in.
Your RX should go into bind mode by now as the LED on the RX will be blinking rapidly.
How to set up OSD via BetaFlight Serialpassthrough:
Note:
UART 1 is typically reserved for the USB so if you have connected anything
you want to access on that UART, this will not work
Depending on your setup you may need to power the device you are trying
to connect to access it.
How to set up OSD with BetaFlight via Serialpassthough:
Step 1: Connect your flight controller to the USB on your computer.
Step 2: Open Betaflight and connect to the flight controller while noting the com
port it’s using.
Step 3: Go to the Ports tab and verify what UART you’ve connected to your device.
