TBS CORE PNP PRO installation
The TBS CORE PNP PRO upgrade will make the DISCO PRO a full-featured quadcopter. You will be able to see
current power index, home direction, speed, altitude, distance to home, exact GPS coordinates and notifications
to assist you while flying. See the official CORE PRO manual for further details and setup, available at
team-blacksheep.com/tbs-core-pro-manual.pdf.
A full resolution diagram of the following procedure is available on the next page.
●
By following these instructions you will end up with a dual CORE & CORE PRO setup where the video out
from the on-board CORE (with video switching) will feed into the CORE PRO, where the OSD overlay will
be applied. The on-board CORE can now be used to charge the GoPro HD camera at 1A, if desired.
The on-board CORE automatic gimbal profile switching (at >3A) will function as normal and no change
●
is necessary.
●
First, enter the CORE menu via the buttons on the top plate and set CAM TYPE to SWITCH and OSD to
OSD OFF - to enable pilot<->GoPro camera switching and avoiding overlapping OSDs.
●
Connect the GoPro and pilot camera as normal to the top plate (IMU/GoPro and CAM). Disconnect the
video transmitter (VTX) from the VTX port on the top plate.
Then, you need to connect the video out from the VTX port on the DISCO PRO to the CAM port on the
●
CORE PRO. Connect the video transmitter (VTx) to the VTX port on the CORE PRO.
●
Note: If the VTx is high power and has an on-board regulator, connect the power leads (normally red
and black) to the unregulated power pads on the bottom plate (+/- pads) on the DISCO PRO. The video
signal (normally yellow wire) should be connected separately to the VTX port on the CORE PRO.
●
For the CORE PRO current sensor, you need to connect the PWR OUT to the battery lead on the DISCO
PRO. Connect the current sensor to the CORE PRO unit with one of the short BST-cables. The battery
now connects to the PWR IN on the current sensor.
(Optional) To establish a connection between the EzUHF (available separately) and CORE PRO, use one
●
of the longer BST-cables and connect it between the OSD Link port on the EzUHF and LINK port on the
CORE PRO. This replaces the short black EzUHF OSD Link cable which normally connects to the rear
connector on the top plate.
●
Lastly, connect the GPS module (available separately) to one of the BST ports on the CORE PRO. Mount
the GPS module on the rear section on the DISCO PRO.
Now, with the rewiring done, power up the DISCO PRO and your goggles. Enter the CORE PRO menu
●
and make sure the current sensor is set to 100A, RSSI set to LINK (EzUHF) or ANALOG/DIGITAL and
calibrate the compass (if used).
●
The setup is now complete. See CORE PRO manual for further configuration options.
