Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the TTL TX and TTL RX optical transceiver modules?
A: The TTL TX (transmitter) module sends optical signals over the fiber link, while the TTL RX (receiver) module receives those optical signals and converts them back into TTL-level electrical signals. For a complete point-to-point optical communication link, you need one TX module on the transmitting end and one RX module on the receiving end.
Q: What power supply does this TTL optical transceiver module require?
A: This module supports a wide DC input voltage range of 5.5V to 26V, making it compatible with most standard drone and UAV battery systems, including 2S to 6S LiPo configurations.
Q: Is this module compatible with standard drone flight controllers?
A: Yes. The TTL interface is a standard serial communication protocol supported by the vast majority of drone flight controllers and companion computers, including popular platforms like ArduPilot, Pixhawk, and similar systems. Simply connect the TX and RX data lines to the corresponding UART port on your flight controller.
Q: Can this optical transceiver module really transmit data up to 40 km?
A: The 40 km specification refers to the optical transmission distance over a suitable fiber-optic cable under ideal conditions. Actual performance may vary depending on fiber quality, connectors, and environmental factors. This module is designed for professional and advanced hobbyist long-range UAV applications.
