thanks in advance


There's no module in the H107L TX, you'll have to find another one, search ebay for a7105-500m for example.

thanks for the info, i take it the chip is hardwired into the main pcb then?

We can't see the traces, they must be underneath the 2.4 RF module, if you have a multimeter with fine tips you'll have to find the connections from the a7105 chip sdio, sck and scs to the module header pins.

Compare to your scheme and my photo, the point is located on top right. So there is a rotation of +90 deg.... I think it's easy to find all those pins :)

Yes, they are easy to find on the chip, now you've to trace the 3 interesting pins to their corresponding pins on the module header

Unless you want to try to solder wires directly on the QFN chip :P

My next question concerning the logic analyser... I think I will have only female/female wire .... I need some female/male or some female/mini-croco :)

From Rcgroups Hubsan 107D thread.

"got it to work, by soldering 2 wires on the + and - of the VTX board, and the main + and - of the battery cable of the TX.

It's working but at 5860 MHZ only !! At least, I have it working ! I was desperating having it to work..

Now, it's heating a little bit, but it works."

Apparently the video tx module works just fine with only the power wires connected, unfortunately not on a boscam frequency.

I'll try to understand how to set the frequency once I have one.

That's weird, in SeByDocKy's picture I can see CS0, CS1 and CS2 on the vRX, just as if it was a "classic" 8 channels vRX.

Here is the A7105 module of the H102D and in the general for the first generation of FPV TX of hubsan product



For the 3 CS pins ... it's strange coz in fact, I can also select a channel with +5Mhz increment ....

A few wire scraps will be OK, no need to buy anything else.

I wonder why they removed the RF amp in the newer versions ...

I think I will be able to use directly the female connecor on the pin .. there is enough space I guess

Coz it's for a nanoquad.... My TX was designed for spyhawk plane which have something link 500m of control range.

Does the H102D have telemetry ?
I'm working on it now and should have something to test soon.

No telemetry :( but maybe everything is here and with your work maybe we can expect a miracle ....

I'm currently trying to implement telemetry and I'm having an issue, I can control the quad for a few seconds (random, 1s-15s maybe) then motors stop and controls stop working.

I only have a H107L but adding telemetry shouldn't change anything for it.

Here's my code, I hope an A7105 expert (PB, Midelic ?) can help to debug, I've probably overlooked something obvious..

from hubsan_cb():
case DATA_1:
case DATA_2:
case DATA_3:
case DATA_4:
case DATA_5:
    if( txState == 0) // send frame
    {
        if(state == DATA_1)
            A7105_SetPower(Model.tx_power); //Keep transmit power in sync
        hubsan_build_packet();
        A7105_Strobe(A7105_STANDBY);
        A7105_WriteData(packet, 16, state == DATA_5 ? channel + 0x23 : channel);
        if (state == DATA_5)
            state = DATA_1;
        else
            state++;
        delay=3000;
    }
    else 
    {
        if( txState == 1) // switch to rx mode 3ms after packet sent
        {
            A7105_Strobe(A7105_RX);
            A7105_Strobe(A7105_RX); // 0xc0 appears twice in the dump 
        }

        for( i=0; i<20; i++)
            if(!(A7105_ReadReg(A7105_00_MODE) & 0x01)) // data received ?
            {
                A7105_ReadData(packet, 16); // A7105_RST_RDPTR + 16x A7105_05_FIFO_DATA
                Telemetry.p.hubsan4.volt = packet[13];
                A7105_Strobe(A7105_RX);
                break;
            }
        delay=1000;
    }

    if (++txState == 8) // 3ms + 7*1ms
        txState = 0;
            
    return delay;

If I remove A7105_ReadReg(A7105_00_MODE) and following instructions in the if block there's no problem anymore.

I'm pulling my hair (or what remains of it).

... and I don't even know if it actually grabs telemetry data during the few seconds it works because I do not have a H107D.

Anyone with one wants to try a build ? :P
