Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd PANDAⅡ module installation The Autopilot module must be placed horizontally and as close as possible to the plane‘s CG (Center of Gravity). The default direction is the arrow direction must be pointing towards the nose of the plane (i.e. direction of flight). You can change the direction to four directions via the GCS software, i.e direction forward, back, left, right (shown below) .
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd GPS module installation GPS module including a flat-GPS passive antenna. This is a sensitive antenna for GPS signals, while false signals reflected from the ground is effectively filtered out. Install the GPS unit horizontally. Keep metal objects and other conductive materials such as carbon fibre away from the GPS unit. Additionally no transmitting antenna should be around the GPS antenna.
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd Data Radio module installation The Data Radio module should placed away from the GPS module , Panda2 module and the servos as far as possible, in order to avoid the disruption of these devices. The Data Radio antenna should be vertically up or down when you install it . Certain frequency bands from the Data Radio can interfere with servos due to electromagnetic emission.
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd Camera installation The P1 port of the autopilot module output a camera shutter triggered signals, this signal is TTL level(0-3V),but you need to do the camera transformation, open the camera and release the Camera Remote Cord. The picture below show the transformation of Canon S100V. Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd http://www.feiyudz.cn 17 service@feiyu-tech.
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd RC setting、SW1&SW2 channel setting Panda2 requires a minimum of 6-channel RC receiver.4 Receiver channels are used for aileron (channel 1), elevator (channel 2) ，throttle (channel 3) and rudder (channel 4) signal output. 2 free Receiver channels are required to control the Panda2 Flight Modes (a 3-position switch or dial knob, ‖SW1‖) and Autopilot Mode (a 3-position switch or dial knob, ‖SW2‖).
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd Pnada2 indicator light instruction Panda2 with three colors LED which can send out red, blue, green light. Also yellow, white, purple and other colors light through the combination. Operators can know the Panda2‘s operating mode by judging the different colors which the LED sends out and the flash frequency. green light flash means GPS location fixed, red and blue light indicate Panda2 working mode.
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd Install GCS software and USB driver Firstly, you should download the GCS and USB-TLL serial driver on our official website: www.feiyudz.cn. Insert the USB data cable into your computer(don't connect any other things into USB data cable ) , you will find there is more than one port(COM and LPT), the port―COM1‖in the ―Prolific USB-to-Serial Com Port (COM1)‖ exactly is the Virtual serial number. Open the GCS, you can see the following interface.
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd Connect Panda2 to our GCS software When you finish the flight control system installation and power on the whole system. Please choose the right COM"X"(Like:COM1),baud rate:19200 and click on "Connect" button, this time will pop-up a dialog, ask you to enter a file name which used to keep records of the flight trajectory. For example we input the file name "test", click on for sure, the trajectory will be saved into "test.log" file.

Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd First flight test 1.Assume that flight control system and ground control system connection is complete and right. 2.Turn on your RC, power on your aircraft and ground control station. 3.Open our GCS software ， choose the right COM ， baud rate 19200 ， Click on ,input file name "test", click on ―Save‖, now you should be able to see the flight data like attitude, altitude ,voltage ,etc. on our GCS software. 4.
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd 5. Switch ―SW2‖ to ―NULL‖ and switch ―SW1‖to ―Manual mode‖. Use your RC sticks to control the aircraft servos surface to see the movement is right or not. 6. To Check the servo control surface automatic movement and setting install direction, also the airspeed and altimeter, First, you should switch"SW2" to "NULL" mode, then switch "SW1" to the " Stabilized Mode ".
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd 7. Data checking and vibration testing: First check every flight control data is right or not. Pushing the throttle ,and check whether the value of the " AHRS ERROR " is increase at each throttle part. The normal situation is at the value of 0, if the values continue to increase, it shows that you need to do more damping installation for Panda2 module. If you do not do well job for damping installation, the aircraft can not take off. 8.
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd 11.Gyro Initialization: Please click on the ―Gyro Init‖ button to do the gyro reset.
