Recommended steps for installation of the FETtec AIO 35A – N

  • Connect to FETtec Configurator and update to the latest firmware (see firmware update and settings)
  • Install the AIO in your copter (see Connection diagrams for correct wiring and installation)
  • Make sure everything is connected properly and check without propellers
  • Connect to KISS GUI/FETtec Toolset to proceed with final configuration of the FETtec AIO 35A (FC configuration)

Connection Diagram

FETTEC AIO 35A N NewBeeDrone - fig

Receiver connector:

  • GND
  • 5V
  • TLM: Telemetry signal to receiver
  •  SIG.: Receiver signal to FC

Acronym explanation:

  • Motor 1 – 4: pads for motor connection
  • GND: Reference Signal Ground
  • 3-6S – / +: Battery input voltage (12V-27V)
  • Reset: Reset button to force the FC in bootloader mode, not needed for normal operation
  • RGB_LED: pad for LED connection
  •  5V/GND/RX4/TX4: free serial

The 8 pin connector combines all necessary connections for analog or digital VTX and camera.
It includes:

  • VCC (Lipo+)
  • GND for cam and VTX
  • Video in: Analog video signal from cam
  • Video out: Analog video to VTX
  • BEC 5V/16V: power supply for cam and/or VTX, switchable voltage, real Pit capable
  • VCS/TX3: for smart audio / tramp configuration or TX for digital FPV systems
  • RX3: for digital FPV systems

4 pin connector:

  • GND
  • 5V
  • TX1: function configurable in GUI
  • RX1: function configurable in GUI

Note: A unit’s transmit signal (TX) must match the corresponding receiver (RX) at the other end.
It must therefore be wired crosswise in order to transmit a signal

Configuration

The FETtec AIO 35A – N works with FETtec KISS firmware version 1.3RC47i or later !
The FC and ESC of the FETtec AIO 35A – N Board are flashable via the FETtec Configurator.
Download the FETtec Configurator here: https://github.com/FETtec/Firmware/releases.
Or use the online tool https://gui.fettec.net/.
FC update (KISS)

choose USB and select the correct COM Port and press connect. You should see the FETtec FC G4 as shown.
Click “Remote Firmware” button and select the latest available firmware. Press “Flash selected!”  FC is flashed now!
Settings can be made in the KISS GUI.
Download: https://github.com/flyduino/kissgui/releases

Reconnect USB after this step!
We recommend to always use the latest available firmware to get the best user experience.
If you like to try new features and firmware developments you can join our Discord channel and download the latest beta firmware to try on your own risk (https://discord.gg/pfHAbahzRp)

FC update and settings (FETtec Alpha FC firmware)

  1. Open FETtec Toolset https://gui.fettec.net and choose ALPHA Configurator.

  2. Connect the FETtec FC via USB.

  3. Open the ALPHA Configurator and select open port. Choose the serial port on which the FC shows up and press connect.

  4. If you have KISS FC firmware running on your FC, you will get a warning if you want to flash FETtec Alpha FC firmware. Press “OK”FETTEC AIO 35A N NewBeeDrone - fig 9

  5. “Select new firmware to flash”.
    We always recommend flashing the latest available firmware.FETTEC AIO 35A N
NewBeeDrone - fig 8

  6. Confirm to flash FETtec ALPHA firmware by pressing “OK”FETTEC AIO 35A N NewBeeDrone - fig 20

  7. FC firmware update is done!FETTEC AIO 35A N NewBeeDrone - fig 21The FC needs a restart after that, therefore the com port is requested to be selected and connected again  Now you can customize everything in the GUI according to your wishes. Please connect everything like described in the manual of the AIO.

The receiver signal will get auto detected (supported systems are Frsky Sbus+S-Port, CRSFv2 and CRSFv3 and Ghost).

Get back to KISS

If the FETtec Alpha FC firmware is flashed on your FC and you want to get back to KISS firmware, follow these steps:

  1. Open FETtec Toolset https://gui.fettec.net/
  2. Connect the FETtec FC via USB.
  3. Press the reset button once
  4. Open the FETtec ESC Configurator and select “USB” and connect.
  5. Choose the serial port on which the FC shows up and press connect.FETTEC AIO 35A N NewBeeDrone - fig 55
  6. Now the FC shows up and you can select KISS Firmware (FETtec FC G4 1.3-RC47m) in “Remote Firmware” and press “Flash selected!”FETTEC AIO 35A N NewBeeDrone - fig 22
  7. Flashing to KISS FC firmware done.FETTEC AIO 35A N NewBeeDrone - fig 23

Firmware updates

For firmware updates it is the same procedure as flashing the FETtec Alpha FC firmware.
Connect FC via open port and choose “Firmware”.![FETTEC AIO 35A N NewBeeDrone

Settings

You can set up the FC according to your wishes in the ALPHA Configurator.
FETTEC AIO 35A N NewBeeDrone - fig 25All functions are explained in the respective category.
For more information and help use the FETtec Alpha FC firmware manual available at www.fettec.net/download

ESC update and settings

Choose KISS FC Passthrough and press connect. all devices should show up now.
The Overview page allows to flash individual ESCs. The Setting page allows to adjust all available ESC parameter.
– Reverse rotation direction
– Slow start
– 3D mode
– PWM min & max signal
– ESC Beep enabled
– Current calibration
– Individual ESC ID (for use on onewire protocol) In the Telemetry page you can spin the motors, view and debug the motor telemetry.

OSD
The FETtec AIO 35A – N has no analog onboard OSD but you can connect the FETtec OSD Board which is also available in our shop www.fettec.netFETTEC AIO 35A N NewBeeDrone - fig
