3 Pin G T3/R3/R1 5v CUR BAT RSSI LED PPM/SRX Function Ground UART3 TX, UART3 RX, UART1 RX 5v Output Current Sensor Input voltage 6-26v (2-6S lipo) RSSI Digital LED Output Bridge PPM for PPM. SRX for SBUS, SUMD, other serial connections The accelerometer and gyroscope need to initialize every time the board is given power. • • • Do not disturb the LUX board or your quad while powering on. Do not disturb the LUX board or your quad while plugging in. Wait until the initialization sequence is completed.
4 Package Contents Check the product box for the following items: • • • LUX FC Pin Headers (Straight and Right Angle) Quick start guide Device Specifications • • • • • • STM32F303 32-Bit Processor MPU6500 MEMS gyro/accelerometer STM32 DFU mode for bootloader + software Up to 26v (6S lipo) input 5v 1.0A output 3v/5v RX Voltage Output Selectable Do not use LUX for unintended applications such as commercial aerial photography.
5 BASICS Hardware Setup Make sure to select your RX input and logic level by bridging the appropriate jumpers. • • • • Bridge only 3v for SPEKTRUM satellite. Bridge only 5v for Futaba, FRSKY S.BUS, ORANGE, etc. (no signal inverter needed). Select PPM for PPM, or SRX for Serial RX. The 3v jumper only changes voltage output for 5v pad next to RX. RX Connect ESC signal wires • • Connect the corresponding ESC signal wires to pins 1, 2, 3, 4 on page 2.
6 Connect LED Strip You can connect an addressable LED strip (WS2812B) to the LUX flight controller. Connect your LED strip to pins labeled LED. LED Enable feature in CLI: feature LED_STRIP Connect Battery (Main (Main Power connection) Your LUX flight controller has input voltage 6-26v (2-6S lipo). Connect main power lead to pins labeled 10. 10 Always check the polarity before plugging in. There is no reverse polarity protection.
7 Software Software Installation/Setup Hardware Driver Your Lumenier LUX has a Micro-USB connector. Hold the “boot” button while plugging in for the first time. The LUX has two modes. It switches to “DFU” mode while the “boot” button is pressed as it is plugged in. Windows users: • • • • Download Zadig from http://zadig.akeo.
8 ADVANCED FEATURES PID Stick Tuning (OSD) MW OSD Your LUX flight controller can be programmed via stick positions, using your OSD (On Screen Display) to display and change settings. To access the OSD menu, make sure your LUX board is disarmed. Move the Throttle position to middle, Yaw right, Pitch up. Change PID settings by using Pitch/Roll for selecting a value, and Yaw for changing the selected value.
9 TROUBLESHOOTING Firmware Upgrade STM32 DFU MODE Your LUX board can always be recovered and restored to factory defaults should you ever encounter software issues. Simply hold the “boot” button on your LUX board while plugging in the USB cable. You can release the button after plugging LUX into your computer. STM32 DFU FLASH TOOL: TOOL: http://bit.do/LUXDfuSe Follow the installer prompts, then select your device and firmware file. Windows users will need to uninstall the Zadig driver listed on page 7.
