See the receiver connection guide below.
Pin 4 is EITHER connected to UART2 TXD or to a bi-directional inverter on UART5.
Use UART2 for telemetry when the T2/TLM bridge is set to T2. 

Use UART5 for telemetry when the T2/TLM bridge is set to TLM.

 holes are connected to each other.  VIN can be used 

to power the board.  When VIN-5v Pads are bridged only connect OUTPUTs to 

VIN

 holes.

IMPORTANT: The first 4 round CENTER pads (on the left) are NOT CONNECTED by default.  Set the TLM/

VCC bridge ONLY if you need to use them.

If you have ESCs that have TELEMETRY OUT then set the TLM/VCC bridge to TLM and then connect each 

ESC’s TELEMETRY OUT signal to the first four round center pads.  Use UART4 for ESC TELEMETRY.
