Interfaces
This page describes the general information and interfaces location of AIRLink Telemetry Module.
Front side
ETHERNET - JST GH SM08B-GHS-TB
Pin number | Pin name | Direction | Voltage level | Function |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 5V | IN | +5V | Radio module power supply |
2 | 5V | IN | +5V | Radio module power supply |
3 | ETH_TXP | OUT | +3.3V | Ethernet transmit positive |
4 | ETH_TXN | OUT | +3.3V | Ethernet transmit negative |
5 | ETH_RXP | IN | +3.3V | Ethernet receive positive |
6 | ETH_RXN | IN | +3.3V | Ethernet receive negative |
7 | GND | Ground | ||
8 | GND | Ground |
The ethernet interface is decoupled with capacitors. Ethernet cable should be twisted to reduce EMI noise. Shorter cables are recommended for increased performance and higher bandwidth of the interface.
FAN - JST GH SM06B-GHS-TB
Pin number | Pin name | Direction | Voltage level | Function |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 5V | OUT | +5V | Fan output |
2 | Reserved | |||
3 | Reserved | |||
4 | Reserved | |||
5 | Reserved | |||
6 | GND | Ground |

TX LED - Transmission activity
RX LED - Receiving activity
LINK LED - Link activity
CPU LED - CPU activity
PWR LED - Power enabled
RSSI LEDs - Received signal strength indication
RSSI LEDs status:
Blinking in turn: searching for pair
Blinking all at once: RF disabled
Solid: RF connection established, pair found
Top side
The top side has an enclosure-integrated heatsink.
AIRLink telemetry module is designed to work standalone (no cooling fan) without overheating at maximum output power with ambient temperatures of up to 50° C.
In case there is a chance of overheating in your application - the module has 4x M3 mounting holes for the cooling fan.
