Cheap DIY RC link based on LoRa 868MHz modules

Protocol

Byte Description Notes
0 Preamble "Q" 0x51
1 Frame type & Payload Length bits 7-5 defines frame type, bits 4-0 payload length
2 Packet ID
4 - 36 Payload 32 bytes max
payload length + 3 CRC XOR of all previous bytes

Frame types

Value Description Direction
000 RC channels data RC_DATA TX -> RX
001 Receiver health and basic telemetry RX_HEALTH RX -> TX
010 Request receiver configuration TX -> RX
011 Receiver configuration RX -> TX
100 Set receiver configuration TX -> RX

RC_DATA frame format

Protocol allows to send 10 RC channels in total encoded as following

  • channels 1 to 4 encoded using 10 bits each (5 bytes)
  • channels 5 to 6 encoded using 8 bits each (2 bytes)
  • channels 7 to 10 encoded using 4 bits per channel (2 bytes)

Total length of RC_DATA payload is 9 bytes

RX_HEALTH frame format

Byte Description
0 RX RSSI
1 RX supply volatage, sent in 0,1V
2 RX analog input 1 sent in 0,1V
3 RX analog input 2 sent in 0,1V
