XBP9X Telemetry Radio
Instructions
Holybro XBP9X Radio can be configured easily using Digi’s free XCTU software
or via Digi’s simplified AT or API command sets. The Radios provide secure,
reliable delivery of critical data between devices with 256-bit AES
encryption.
With RF line-of-sight ranging up to 65 miles* and strong interference blocking
capabilty, the Radios are ideal for those applications requiring the
combination of range, data redundancy and data reliability.
Features:
- USB Type-C port, integrated USB to UART converter
- 6-position JST-GH connector, can be directly connected to pixhawk4 flight controller
- High voltage BEC on board, Support DC7~35V voltage supply
- Can be powered by USB or flight controller in 100mW transmit power mode
- UART transmission LED indicator
- Three-stage RSSI LED indicator
- 256-bit AES encryption for secure data communications
- DigiMesh networking topology for redundancy and reliability
- Fully certified for use in unlicensed 900 MHz band

Power
Supply voltage:
5V DC from USB or 6-position JST-GH (100mW)
7~35V DC form 4-position JST-GH (500mW or 1000mW)
Transmit current:
300 mA/5V at 20dBm
500mA/7V at 27dBm
800 mA/7V at 30dBm
Receive current: 40 mA
Serial interface:
3.3 V UART
51.9×35.4 x 11.5mm (without antenna)
Please note: when 500MW or 1000MW output is taken, battery must be used
for power supply, otherwise the transmission will be unstable.
Status LEDs
The radios have 6 status LEDs, there blue, two orange and one green. The
meaning of the different LED states is:
STATUS
LED (green) – indicate the heartbeat of the module.
| Green blinking | module is alive |
|---|---|
| Green off or solid | module is crash |
RSSI LEDs(blue) – indicate the receive signal strength.
| RSSI | 25 (LED) | 50 (LED) | 100 (LED) |
|---|---|---|---|
| <25% | off | off | off |
| 25%~50% | on | off | off |
| 50%~85% | on | on | off |
| 85%~100% | on | on | on |
UART LEDs(orange) – indicate there are datas transmitting or receiving over UART.
