6. GND

3. JTAG

The JTAG interface is implemented on a JST SM06B-SRSS 1mm pitch connector.

Very useful device for debugging is the Black Sphere Debugger (http://www.tag-
connect.com/BLACK-SPHERE-DBG ).

For flashing the bootloader, firmware and debugging, the cheap STM32 Nucleo or STM
LINK-V2 boards can be used (http://mbed.org/platforms/?tvend=10 ).

The Pixracer V1 board is supplied with FMU bootloader flashed, so one doesn’t need to
flash it again.

4. LEDS and SAFETY SWITCH

There are 2 LEDs on the Pixracer V1 board –Power LED ( GREEN ) and RGB status LED.

LED STATUS TABLE

GREEN = Power LED = always ON

SAFETY SWITCH STATUS

ON = FMU ARMED

SLOW BLINK = Ready to arm

FAST BLINK = Error / Refusing to arm

5. POWERING Pixracer V1

There are two power inputs – USB ( only for programming and testing ) and Power from the
Power connector.

NOTE! The Power must be between 5.0VDC to 5.5VDC!

The VDD_SERVO rail is NOT connected to the Pixracer power!

PIXRACER V1 USER MANUAL 2015

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE!

THE MAX ALLOWABLE TOTAL CURRENT CONSUMPTION FOR ALL


PERIPHERALS IS 1A! Don’t connect the VCC of servos or High Power
Telemetry/OSD modules.
