Function

The board merges together three modules:

  • Visual Positioning System - receiving and interpreting data from bottom camera and ultrasonic sonar for flight stabilization.
  • Intelligent Flight - using data from cameras for collision detection and object tracking.
  • OFDM transceiver - receiving commands from Remote Controller, and transmitting telemetry data plus compressed video stream for FPV.

Thick lines present propagation of video data. The live video feed comes from Camera Encoder board through Flex Film Cable. The Leadcore SoC (LC1860C) processes it and prepares input data for the ASIC scrambler for the Lightbridge protocol (DJI R101). That scrambler contains DJI IP with synthesis the digital part of Lightbridge protocol. The scrambler prepares video data and telemetry to be sent through radio channel, and supplies it to WiMAX Transceiver (AD8040), from where the modulated signal is amplified and sent toward antennas.

The antennas can also receive DUML packets from the RC, in which case the input RF signal is amplified through LNA, received through WiMAX Transceiver, and provided to the ASIC scrambler for error correction and unscrambling. The DUML packets are provided to the Lightbridge Main Controller Unit, and from there routed to other modules of the drone.

The MCU micro-controller is responsible for configuring the transmission by sending SPI commands to the WiMAX Transceiver, and setting logic signals on some configuration lines of the ASIC scrambler.
