10 Using the UART Connector for Telemetry
Via the UART connector, the MicroVector can output a rich set of flight data information to recent Taranis™,
DragonLink Advanced™ and potentially other radios and LRS systems. Also, with our Open Telemetry UART
protocol, it’s easy to incorporate Vector information into your own projects.
10.1 UART Connector Pinout
The UART pinout is as follows:
5V Pwr: Typically not needed for UART connection, assuming the peripheral is powered
otherwise. 100mA max current draw. Note that all the “5V Power” connections are
connected together inside the MicroVector. Don’t connect a power source to more than one of
these connections! 6V Max!
Ground: This connects to the ground of your peripheral (if needed).
Sig Out from uV: This line provides the signal output from the uV, to the peripheral.
Sig In to uV: This line provides the signal input to the uV, from the peripheral.
