Assembled Raspberry Pi 5 mounting plate¶
Remove protective films from both sides of the thermal pads. Apply the thermal pads to the positions highlighted by the red frames in the image. Install the cooling heatsink by inserting retaining clips through the heatsink into the designated holes on the Raspberry Pi 5. Connect the cooling system to the designated connector located under the protective cover.
Installing the cooler¶
Assembled Raspberry Pi 5¶
Mount M3x30 nylon standoffs (Cell 21) to the plate with the Raspberry Pi 5 using M3x8 screws (Cell 8).
Installing the standoffs¶
Assembled Raspberry Pi 5 mounting plate¶
Install the assembled Raspberry Pi 5 mounting plate onto the frame’s anti-vibration standoffs. Secure the plate using M3x4 screws (Cell 10).
Installing the Raspberry Pi 5 mounting plate¶
Connect the telemetry ribbon cable to the Raspberry Pi 5. Connect to the outer row of the header, starting from pin 8 (GPIO 14). Ensure the black wire is connected to pin 14 (Ground) (see wiring diagram). Connect the mating end of the ribbon cable to the UART4 port of the flight controller with the black wire in the far right corner.
Raspberry Pi 5 to flight controller connection¶
Camera, Rangefinder, and Screen Installation¶
Install the camera on the small mounting plate. Secure it using M1.4x4 self-tapping screws (Cell 19) in the designated holes. Use a PH1 bit.
Installing the camera¶
Install M3x20 nylon standoffs (Cell 22) onto the small mounting plate and secure them with M3x6 screws (Cell 9).
Installing the standoffs¶
Install the small mounting plate (with the camera attached) onto the gripper plate using M3x6 screws (Cell 9).
Installing to the gripper plate¶
Install the laser rangefinder onto the gripper plate using M2x6 screws (Cell 16) and M2 nylon lock nuts (Cell 5).
Installing the rangefinder¶
Connect the laser rangefinder ribbon cable (see wiring diagram).
Connecting the rangefinder¶
Secure the gripper plate to the quadcopter frame using M3x8 screws (Cell 8). Connect the camera ribbon cable to the computer, following the wiring diagram.
Securing the gripper plate¶
Connect the rangefinder ribbon cable to the UART1 port on the flight controller. Ensure the black wire is inserted into the far-left pin. Route the cable through the opening in the flight controller housing (see wiring diagram).
Connecting the rangefinder¶
Install the screen onto the flight controller housing using M2.5x6 screws (Cell 18) and M2.5 nylon lock nuts (Cell 4).
Installing the screen¶
Solder a Dupont connector to the one UBEC and a JST connector to the other UBEC. On the other side, connect the wires and solder on an XT30 connector. Connect the UBECs using double-sided adhesive tape.
Preparing the UBECs¶
Install the UBEC onto the Raspberry Pi 5 plate using double-sided adhesive tape. Connect the UBEC to the ESC via the XT30 connector. Connect the first UBEC wire to the Raspberry Pi 5 at pin 4 (5V power) and pin 6 (Ground) (see wiring diagram).
Installing the UBECs¶
Connect the receiver to the SBUS/CRSF port (UART 6) of the flight controller (black wire in the far left pin) (see wiring diagram).
Connecting the receiver¶
Install the flight controller housing onto the aluminum standoffs. Secure the receiver in the designated holes using nylon cable ties. Route all wires through the wire cutout. Connect the screen to the Raspberry Pi 5 by connecting the red wire to pin 1 (3V3) and the black wire to pin 9 (Ground) (see wiring diagram).
Installing the FC housing¶
Guards, Legs, and LED Strip Installation¶
Thread the battery strap through the designated holes of the carbon mounting plate. Install the plate to the aluminum standoffs using M3x8 screws (Cell 8).
Installing the mounting plate¶
Arrange guard crossbars into a square shape. Place lower prop guards onto the corners. Secure these components using M3x10 screws (Cell 13) on the top and M3x40 nylon standoffs (Cell 23) on the bottom.
Securing lower guards¶
Secure the upper prop guards and crossbars with M3x10 screws (Cell 13).
Tip
Arrange the elements so that the crossbars point inward and the arcs point outward.
Securing upper guards¶
Install M3 press-fit nuts (Cell 1) into the designated holes at the edges of the arms.
Press-fitting¶
Install the assembled guard to the underside of the frame and secure it with M3x10 screws (Cell 13).
Installing the guard¶
On one side of a large landing gear, insert M3x6 screws (Cell 9) into the designated holes. On the opposite side, install M3x10 aluminum standoffs (Cell 14). Cover the standoff with the anti-slip spacer. Repeat this process for all landing gears.
Assembling the landing gear¶
Attach the landing gear to the arm and secure it with M3x6 screws (Cell 9). Do the same for the other landing gears.
Installing the landing gears¶
Stick the LED strip to the plastic LED ring. Snap the ring into the designated hooks on the landing gears and secure the wires with a nylon cable tie. Connect the LED strip power to the second UBEC. Connect the signal wire to pin 21 (GPIO 9) (see wiring diagram).
Installing the LED strip¶
Install the propellers according to the rotation directions indicated in the image.
Installing the props¶
Before your first power-up, check the following:
All components are securely fastened.
All electrical connectors are correctly connected.
No wires are damaged and no connectors are loose.
The battery has no signs of swelling, overheating, or physical damage.
The propellers have sufficient clearance and do not contact the guard, wires, or any other quadcopter elements.
Caution
Do not power on the quadcopter until all detected faults have been fully resolved.
