Connector | Description |
---|---|
EXT5 | External 5V input if you need more power than what C5V line can provide |
E5O | Output pin for EXT5 connector. Used for external 5V is needed |
CAN1 | UAVCAN main connector. Identical to CAN2 port, can be used for linking to another UAVCAN device or terminator |
CAN2 | UAVCAN main connector. Identical to CAN1 port, can be used for linking to another UAVCAN device or terminator |
C5V | C5V is connected to CAN1/2 power line and protected with 500mA automatic FUSE. |
3V3 | 3.3V LDO regulated output pin. Same LDO provides power to the main MCU. Max output 3V3/300mA. |

There are TWO main softwares for this board. One is Bootloader and another is operation Firmware. Please do not mix them. Firmwares you upload with SLCAN board over the UAVCAN databus. Bootloader is uploaded via SWD connector.
This board is coming with latest UC4H Bootloader firmware uploaded at jDrones. Normally you do not need to update bootloader unless: You want to upgrade or you have “bricked” your UC4H board.
You can download always latest firmwares and bootloaders from our document site. You need jDrones STM32 Programmer to burn bootloader in this board.
Firmwares/Bootloaders, please take a look at our firmware page
