SBUS control

Table of Contents
Basic control #

Instead of AIR Commander Link system you can use SBUS input for controlling the Entire and Camera.
You can use separate RC controller, or use DJI Expansion KIT to implement control under LightBridge2.
When DJI Expansion port is used, connect the F-PORTs outputs to PWM/SBUS converter and then Connect the SBUS output into PORT A or B of the Entire.

1.    Connect to the Entire Wi-Fi and setup page.
2.    Open the MENU and select SBUS mapping
3.    You will see the list of Entire’s function on the left side.
4.    Control channel can be assigned by clicking to the list item

     

Firstly select “Channel” from the drop down menu to channel you would like to use for this function.
White arrow under the “blue slider” should start moving left / right depending on current SBUS input of the selected channel.
Then select portion of channel, where Entire should trigger the function.

At the image below, when value of Channel #1 will be in upper third, Entire will trigger photo. When Channel #1 value will be out of blue portion, Entire will be idle.

Control modes #

In the list of available features for control via SBUS you’ll find two different kinds:

SINGLE TRIGGER function (Trigger photo, Video and other)
This kind of function is based on two portions of SBUS channel. One portion is “iddle”, and second (blue part selected) is “Active”. When value of the channel is in “Iddle” portion, Entire does not react. If channel value reaches “Active” portion (blue), Entire will trigger corresponding function.

DUAL WAY function (ISO, Aperture and other)
This kind of function is based on dual way control. Because those functions can be controlled UP or DOWN, configuration does not include any “blue slider” trigger selection. Entire simply expects that if selected SBUS channel is in the center, function is idle. If channel reaches high values, Entire trigger function in direction UP (for example ISO+). When selected SBUS channel reaches low values, Entire triggers function DOWN. Once channel value is back in the center, function control is stopped.

Channels preview #

SBUS may be confusing as you can not “see the channels”. If you are unsure which button / knob is mapped to which channel, you can show live channels in preview window. Sliders will move as per current SBUS input. Click to little icon at the top to show channels:

Master channel #

It would be very confusing to have separate channel to each function.
Master channel function combine control of multiple function by only two channels. One channel is selecting the function which will be controlled. Second (control) channel then trigger function UP or DOWN. In practice, you can assign Select channel to “Knob” on the DJI Expansion box, and angle will then switch the function to be controlled. Function Control channel is then assigned to the channel of stick controller. By the Knob angle you will choose the function (Aperture/ ISO / etc.) and by the stick. You can trigger function UP or DOWN.
