What’s Included
- BrotherHobby H743 flight controller
- M3*8mm silicone case
- SH 1.0mm 8-pin ribbon cable (60mm) ESC cable
- SH 1.0mm 6pin ribbon cable (80mm) DJI connection cable
- SH 1.0mm 6-pin ribbon cable (80mm) GPS connection cable
- SH 1.0mm 4-pin ribbon cable (65mm) receiver connection cable
- SH 1.0mm 3-pin ribbon cable (65mm) LED connection cable
- SH 1.0mm 4-pin ribbon cable (65mm) image transmission connection line
Wiring Notes
- SBUS receiver note: The SBUS signal line must be connected to the SBUS pad on the front of the flight controller (which uses serial port 2 internally). If using a DJI system at the same time via the dedicated 6-pin socket on the back of the flight controller, disconnect the SBUS signal line of the DJI ribbon cable from the flight controller; otherwise the SBUS receiver may not be recognized normally.
- ELRS receiver note: Suggested TX and RX connection is to the T2 and R2 pads. When using a DJI system at the same time, if recognition issues occur, disconnect the SBUS signal line of the DJI ribbon cable from the flight controller.
