Sentinel Spektrum Bind Board

Overview

The Sentinel Spektrum Bind Board is a hardware solution that allows software binding of a Spektrum radio receiver directly to your RB5 Flight or Voxl2 (Sentinel) based drone solution. It creates a seemless software experience for binding without all the hassle of a binding plug or other plug removal/insertion methods.

This accesory is specific to Spektrum and will not work with other R/C receivers.

Block Diagram

This diagram shows both options for RB5 Flight and Sentinel installation options.

M0094-BD

Pin Tables

In both options, the 3-position JST SHR connector matches the Spektrum pinout as follows:

PinNetNotes/Usage
1VREG_3V3_RCSpektrum Power
2GNDSpektrum GND
3RC_UART_RXSpektrum UART TX

The reason for the different configurations with M0094 illustrated here is that the RB5 Flight platform has a dedicated GNSS/Mag connector (J19), whereas Voxl2 (Sentinel) has a multi-purpose connector J19 that has GNSS/Mag + R/C added, so the cable assembly is a little more complicated.

RB5 Configuration

The RB5 configuration mates with J12 and J10 simultaneously.
