REVOLT

REVOLT V2 OWNERS TAKE NOTE​

All of the information referring to Revolt V2 applies to Skitzo FC as well, it's identical board (just different color).

Is not currently supported in current BetaFlight builds but can run BetaFlight now with the following instructions.

  1. Install 3.1.7 or higher Betaflight version

  2. Solder the pads on the bottom of the board to enable UART 1 for Inversion See this Photo.

  3. Solder up the cable for the receiver on UART 1 as shown in the revolt V2 diagram (make sure its the V2 diagram) https://flightone.us/wiki/#pinout_section

  4. Do this command in CLI.

set serialrx_halfduplex=ON

(This setting became default with v3.4.0.)

  1. Hit Save.

  2. On the REVOLT V2 you also need to jumper the RX1 and TX1 pads to get receiver working. Take a look here.

Telemetry to FrSky XSR​

As far telemetry you have to do the "un-inverted XSR hack" which isn't a big deal at all. Link to the X4r/XSR hack the telemetry works with this XSR hack, just remember to connect your S.Port wire to TX3 pin on the Revolt v2, don't get confused with the Revolt v2 wiring diagram which shows S.Port going to Rx3 pin.

Blackbox logs download corruption fix for MAC users​

If you have issues downloading blackbox logs, this will fix the problem : https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=36811734&postcount=44503 more details here : https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/issues/411

It's a temporary solution requiring you to manually install patched up version of BF configurator, next release of official BF configurator is going to fix that.

Revolt V1 S.BUS configuration after v3.4.0​

With v3.4.0, REVOLT target was completely rewritten as a standalone target, rather than a sub-target of REVO target. The new target also introduced a new default value of duplex option for UART1 which is suitable only for V2 and V3 boards, but it made Revolt V1 configuration from pre-v3.4.0 incompatible with post-v3.4.0 configuration.

With post-v3.4.0, Revolt V1 users who are connecting S.BUS to SBUS pad must explicitly turn off the serialrx_halfduplex to OFF.

set serialrx_halfduplex = OFF

The theory behind this operation is depicted by this drawing.
