QUICK START GUIDE
1
Set Voltage for Radio RX
The Voltage Output for Pad 5 must be set to 5V or 3V
in order to be enabled. The LUX V2’s Pad locations are
positioned in a way to make it simple to connect the
Radio Receiver for Power and Signal.
1.
Connect ESC’s
The LUX V2 is designed in a way that the ESC Data wires
are connected to the 4 corners of the Flight Controller.
There are 4 extra Ground Pads to help if connecting the
wires by soldering.
3.
Setup Software
LUX V2 supports Betaight, Cleanight (RACE target),
and Raceight.
5.
Connect Battery (2-6S)
Connect the LUX V2 to the PDB or Battery. No Voltage
Regulator is needed if battery power is between 2S -
6S (7.4V - 22.2V). Using this method for powering also
enables Voltage Monitoring for Telemetry Data.
2.
Connect Radio Receiver (RX)
UART4 (Pad 4) is dedicated as Radio Receiver. It supports
PPM and Serial RX. The Pads are positioned in a way
that it makes it simple to connect and power the Radio
Receiver.
