- Page 2 To connect with the EZ-GUI Ground Station Android app, use Driver 1 (in settings), at default baud rate of 115,200. You may need to have the battery connected at startup depending on the power of your OTG connection. The battery can be removed immediately after the flight controller is powered.

Page 4: Receiver Connection
If you’re using telemetry, set the telemetry type on UART 3 (e.g. SmartPort for X4R, XSR) On the configuration page, choose Serial based receiver and the type that matches your receiver. Also enable TELEMETRY on this page if you’re using it. SSD Flight Controller Manual v1.2 Page 4... - Page 5 Satellite receiver For a Spektrum satellite, set UART 3 to Serial Rx On the configuration page, set receiver type to Serial based and choose SPEKTRUM2048 for DSMX and SPEKTRUM1024 for DSM2.

- Page 6 (without USB). Once blinking, bind the transmitter. Check receiver function - if channels are mixing, switch between 1024 and 2048 In the CLI type set spektrum_sat_bind = 0 and then save to stop future binding SSD Flight Controller Manual v1.2 Page 6...
- Page 7 Select PPM RX input on the configuration page (don’t make any changes on the Ports page). UARTs The SSD has several available serial ports as well as some specified. You may use any available port for any purpose that can be specified on the ports page.
- Page 8 The most widely compatible modern analog protocol and a good default if you’re not sure what to use. Oneshot 42 A faster Oneshot, compatible with BLHeli_S (not standard BLHeli). Multishot The fastest analog protocol. Works with BLHeli_S natively and regular BLHeli ESCs that have been flashed with multishot firmware. https://github.com/4712/blheli-multishot/releases SSD Flight Controller Manual v1.2 Page 8...
- Page 9 Choose the desired logging rate. Note that you can’t read the SD card through the USB connection – it must be removed and read externally. SSD Flight Controller Manual v1.2 Page 9...

Page 10: Motor Connections
Motor Connections The SSD follows the standard Betaflight motor numbering and rotation direction as seen on the motors tab. For a standard quad, connections 1-4 are used with 5 and 6 available for other use or power supply to other devices. Motor connections 1-4 are not normally supplied with +5V. - Page 11 You can enable live mode to have it work while you change settings. By default it will cover 1000-2000 us (zero to full). Connect this to your switch, servo or other PWM controlled device using the power and ground connections as required. SSD Flight Controller Manual v1.2 Page 11...
