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.
AIRLink has integrated 1.5KΩ pull-up resistors for all I2C lines. No external pull-up resistors required.
Main GNSS and compass port
Main telemetry port
CSI camera input
CAN 1
CAN 2
AIRLink has integrated 120Ω CAN bus termination resistor. To comply with ISO 11898 user the second 120Ω resistor at the other end of the bus.
SBUS input
16 PWM output channels
2x LTE antenna sockets in 4G, 4x LTE antenna sockets in 5G
WiFi antenna socket (AP & Station modes)
SmartAP AIRLink has a large number of serial ports with the following pinout:
