Holybro SiK 100mW 433MHZ 915MHZ Telemetry Radio V3 For Pixhawk Flight Controller

The Holybro Telemetry Radio is a small, light and inexpensive open source radio platform that typically allows ranges of better than 300m “out of the box” (the range can be extended to several kilometres with the use of a patch antenna on the ground). The radio uses open source firmware which has been specially designed to work well with MAVLink packets and to be integrated with the Mission Planner, Copter, Rover and Plane.
The radios can be either 915Mhz or 433Mhz and you should purchase the model which is appropriate for your country/region.

Micro-USB port
4-position JST-GH connector

Dimensions
26 x 53 x 10.7mm (without antenna)
Power
Supply voltage: 5VDC (from USB or JST-GH)
Transmit current: 100 mA at 20dBm
Receive current: 25 mA
Serial interface: 3.3 V UART

Status LEDs
The radios have 2 status LEDs, one red and one green. The meaning of the different LED states is:
Green LED blinking – searching for another radio
Green LED solid – link is established with another radio
Red LED flashing – transmitting data
Red LED solid – in firmware update mode

Connecting to Pixhawk4
Use the 4 pin JST-GH connector that should have come with the radio to connect the radio to your Pixhawk4’s “Telem 1” (“Telem 2” can also be used but the default recommendation is “Telem1”).

Connecting to a PC
Connecting the radio to your Windows PC is as simple as connecting the micro USB cable (which should have been included with the radio) to your PC. The necessary drivers should be installed automatically and the radio will appear as a new “USB Serial Port” in the Windows Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT). The Mission Planner’s COM Port selection drop-down should also contain the same new COM port.
