MyFlyDream TeleFlyPro User manual
Notes
Thank you for purchasing the MyFlyDream TeleFlyPro (hereinafter referred to as
TFPro).
Please follow this manual to get familiar with the TFPro and to operate it correctly.
The TFPro is designed for use with RC-models only. Please use it in compliance
with applicable local laws. The reliability and accuracy of the tracking system
depend on a number of factors. A strong electromagnetic interference, strong
winds, bad GPS status and other reasons may cause a bad result. Please consider
the risk and take it yourself. Any loss or damage caused by the AP system is not our
responsibility.
We reserve the right to continuously improve the product performance, so this
document may be not in full compliance with the TFPro you purchased. The latest
version of this document will be available at our website:

MFD TeleFlyPro is an enhance unit for MFD AAT(AutoAntennaTracker) system.
The main function of TeleFlyPro is to modulate the tracking data into Video and Audio signals.
These video and audio signals can be transmitted via a common Video-TX /RX module. With
a V5.0 or newer AATDriver, the AAT system is able to demodulate the tracking data from the
video or audio signal and use it to track the plane.
TFPro’s advanced features include:
1) Modulating tracking data both into video and audio signals. It’s more reliable and works
with most VTX/RX without audio channel compatible issues.
2) TFPro has advanced ,pixel-level black/white OSD function. OSD can be disable if it’s not
used.
3) TFPro uses a barometer to measure the altitude instead of GPS. The tracker now tracks
more accurately than before.
4) An optional 100Amp current sensor is available if user needs to measure the
current/voltage of the power system of the plane.
If you need a full-function AutoPilot device for you plane, we recommend our MFD
AutoPilot product.

A) Power
This port supplies power to the TFPro. The TFPro has its own switching power unit so it can
be powered from 7-20V. But if you want to share this power with the camera and the video
transmitter, we recommend you to power the AP with a 3S lipo since most of the camera and
video TX need 12V.

B) CAM/VTX Power
PIN#2 is connected with PIN#1 internal. PIN#15 is the power supply pin for Camera and
VideoTX.
So if you want to share the Power with CAM/VTX, just plug a jumper cap to PortB (PIN#2 and
PIN#15).
If you want to use a separate power for CAM/VTX, please connect it to PIN#15.

E) Sensors
This port is for current sensor, battery voltage sensor and RSSI input.
The Current sensor has a 4pin connector. Please plug the connector to PIN#6~PIN#9. Please
notice that the black wire of the current sensor should be aligned to PIN#9.
After connecting the current sensor, the PIN#20 is for RSSI input is still visible. Connect the
RSSI signal from your RX to it. The RSSI input is buffered inside the AP. So there is no need to
use any external circuit to buffer your RSSI signal any more.

3.Operating Instructions
The procedure of using TFPro with your tracking system:
1). Detect the GPS baudrate.
TFPro needs to recognize the GPS baudrate for the initial use. Please hold SetHome button
and power on TFPro. 2 LEDs on TFPro will blink alternately. Once TFPro recognize the GPS the 2
LEDs will stay solid on. After your GPS is recognized please power off the TFPro. You don’t need to
do it any more unless you use a different GPS with TFPro.
TFPro supports these baudrates: 9600,19200,38400,57600,115200bps.
Default setting is 38400bps.
2). Check the downlink status
Power on the plane and your tracker. If everything works, the RX LED of AATDriver should
blink very fast. AATDriver V5 is able to demodulate tracking data from Video or Audio signal.
We need to ensure that Video and Audio channels both are working.
Please unplug the VideoRX video cable from the tracker. The Audio cable remains on the tracker.
The RX LED should still blink (not so fast as before).
Now unplug the VideoRX audio cable from the tracker. The Video cable remains. The RX LED
should blink fast.
Press the SetHome button of TFPro for a few seconds. The tracker should “BEEP”while you
holding the button. That means the tracker receives the SetHome command successfully.
3). SetHome and take off
The blinking RED led on TFPro indicates the GPS status. More satellites are locked, faster the
LED blinks. The RED led will be solid on once the GPS locks 10 or more satellites. And it won’t
blink no GPS is detected.
After we get enough satellites (usually we need 8 or more), press the SetHome button for 2
seconds or longer until you hear the tracker Beeping.
Now you can launch your plane.
The tracker will start to track once the plane leaves 10 meters away.
Other tips:
1.Press the button on TFPro mainboard (beside the LEDs) to switch OSD mode circularly:
PAL->Disable->NTSC-> Disable ->PAL-> Disable…..
2.Hold the button on TFPro for 5 seconds or longer to reset all configuration.
3.For the details about firmware update, please refer to the MFD AutoPilot manual.
