1. Brief introductions for GCS

FY-31AP GCS is similar to Panda GCS, the main functions include

electronic map、telemetry data monitoring、flight attitude instrument、speed,

altitude instrument, location, and telemetry data recording and playback, air
route editing, map loading management etc. Brief introductions for the

GCS of FY-31AP are shown as below.

Software operating environment:
CPU frequency:
1GHz or more

Memory capacity: 1G or more

Hard disk space: At least 200MB free disk space
Operating System: Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 etc
Monitor: 1024x768 resolution or above

The computer Serial Port: Support USB serial converter or 9-pin port which
baud rate is 19200 or more

Other Peripherals: Keyboard, Mouse

2. The installation of GCS and USB-TLL

Firstly, you should download the GCS and USB-TLL serial drive on our

official website: www.feiyudz.cn.

FYGCS 2D 4.0 version download link:
http://www.feiyu-tech.cn/download.php?id=47

USB-TTL serial drive download link:

http://www.feiyu-tech.cn/download.php?id=35

After download the program please click install.Suggestions install all the
way by default. Or choose the right path. Path had better not choose
desktop, path don't with Chinese, blank space or strange characters, path

not too deep.

Open the GCS, you can see the following interface.

(If you can’t open the GCS in Vista or Win7 system, please find out the
executable file, and run it as the administrator.)

Step 1: install the USB-TTL serial drive
1) Double-click the serial drive, installed by default.

2) Restart the computer and make the drive be activated.

3) If it can't be used, please uninstall the original drive and reinstall this one,

or search its PL2303 chip to the latest version on the Internet.

Step 2: confirm the USB-TTL

Virtual serial number (take Win XP for example)

1) Insert the USB-TTL interface cable into computer USB COM port(don’t

connect TTL port to any other wire ) , you will find there is more than

one port(COM and LPT), the port“COM1”in the “

Prolific

USB-to-Serial Com Port (COM1)

” exactly is the Virtual serial number.

2)inserter a few times for confirmation

3)Modify the serial number if necessary

3. Hardware connection instruction

FY-31 AP provides a data radio interface (UART), you can downlink

telemetry data and receive control information by radio and monitor the real

time flight by the computer. The telemetry data includes: Longitude, latitude,

altitude, speed, heading, positioning, operation mode and the real-time
output amount of the servo and so on. By matching with remoter adapter,

you also can send the receiver signal to FY-31AP module by the radio to

achieve remote control. By matching the GCS, it can

real time display flight

trace and flight parameters. In addition, you can c

onduct pointing flight, or

change flight attitude in real time and circling radius and so on.

Note: FY -31AP telemetry data default frequency is 10hz, because

downloading frequency is too high. Use half duplex radio (such as FY -

602, FY - 605) will give the computer brings great burden, cause GCS is
not able to use or extremely slow. If you need to use our GCS for

real-time monitoring. We strongly recommend that you should change

the telemetry data frequency to 1hz, remote data frequency to 10Hz,
avoid to cause computer burden, And influence the normal use of our

software.

If you just connect with Hornet - OSD to realize FPV, And you do not

need to use GCS to real-time monitoring, Then you do not need to

change the frequency.

Frequency modification method:

Connect the FY-31AP to the computer directly for setting (shown as

below)

(In order to let your FY-31AP can success connect to the GCS to

change the frequency, For protection measures. FY-31AP firmware More

than V1.20 , the first 10s FY-31AP will automatically change data output
frequency into 1hz.After 10s will automatically be back into the default

10hz.)

FY-31AP connection options

A. Use the data radio to connect to FY-31AP.

You can use a pair of data radio to realize wireless setting.

It is

convenient to debug, and you can upload air route at any time. You also can

realize the function of monitoring flight attitude and flight trace. You can fly
