KOPIS 1
Install the Receiver
Your KOPIS comes fully built. But there are still some basic steps that you need to do, to make sure that
your transmitter is going to work correctly with KOPIS.
We’re going to walk through those steps now.
KOPIS comes either as a
Plug-n-Fly
(PnF) model or a
Bind-n-Fly
(BnF) model. The BnF model has a FrSky
XSR receiver already installed. If you purchased the BnF model, you can skip the installation instructions
below. Go directly to the binding instructions.
If you purchased the PnF model of the KOPIS, you need to install your own receiver. We strongly
recommend that you use a low-profile-receiver like the FrSky XSR, X4R-SB, or XM+. The FlySky A8S is
another good choice. The KOPIS is designed to be small and light, for best flight performance. But this
also means it will be hard to fit a large receiver onto it.
First, use an M2 hex driver to remove the four screws at the corner of the KOPIS top plate. Remove the
top plate. This will expose the flight control stack. A wire has been pre-installed from the factory for
your receiver to connect to.
The pre-installed wire has a connector for a FlySky A8S receiver.
If you have a FlySky radio, simply plug
that receiver in to the pre-installed wire.
If you have any other receiver, cut the connector off the wire
and solder it directly to your receiver, or install a new connector if you prefer. (DO NOT CUT THE WIRES
WHEN THE BATTERY IS PLUGGED IN!)
The pre-installed wire has three colors: red, black, and yellow. The red wire is for power; the black wire
is for ground; the yellow wire is for signal. Be sure to reference the pinout diagram for your receiver, to
ensure that you are connecting the correct pads together.
You must use a receiver that supports a serial protocol such as SBUS, iBus, and Spektrum Satellite. You
cannot use a PPM or PWM receiver with the Kakute F4 AIO.
If your receiver requires 5v power (most receivers except for Spektrum Satellite), no additional action is
required. If your receiver requires 3.3v power (most Spektrum Satellite receivers),
you must move the
red wire from the 5v pad on the Kakute to the 3v3 pad right next to it.
This will require you to take the
Atlatl video transmitter off the top of the flight control stack to get at the solder pads on the KOPIS.
Do
not connect a receiver that takes 3.3v power to the 5v wire that is installed from the factory or you
will destroy the receiver.
We recommend securing the receiver to the quad using a piece of servo mounting tape or double-sided
foam tape. Stick the receiver to the top of the Atlatl video transmitter, on top of the stack. If you have
used a low-profile receiver, there should be enough room between the top plate and the Atlatl.
