Chapter 1 BDS200 Introduction

1.1 Features of BDS200

BDS200 is a professional drone for competitions. The inertial navigation of the gyro, accelerometer, and barometer and the Kalman filter altitude-hold algorithm perfectly solves the contradiction between high speed and stability, greatly reducing the difficulty of beginning and allowing the public to experience the flying pleasure of competitive racing.

The RTF version comes with an 8-channel remote controller which can be adjusted parameters by mobile phone APP. Equipped with the top potentiometer made in Noble from Japan, the control accuracy of the joysticks is 0.25 microseconds. Parameters can be easily set up and modified with an Android or iOS mobile APP connected via Bluetooth. The low transmitter, receiver, and power battery voltage alarm value can be set according to actual needs.

The receiver R8XM integrated the fly-by range telemetry function. When the power battery voltage is lower than 6.7V, the green light of the flight controller starts to flash slowly to indicate the return of flight, and the soccer drone slowly descends 5 seconds later to ensure a safe landing.

Altitude-hold and Stabilize Modes can be switched with one button. After the soccer drone is flipped, the CH8 roller switch can be used to trigger anti-turtle mode.

The soccer drone can be quickly restored to its original position after falling at any angle, which solves the problem that it is difficult to flip over after falling on its back, ensuring that all three players in the team can continue to participate in the competition effectively.

Made of new crash-resistant material, it will be safe even in the case of strong collisions and violent falls in competition.

Chapter 2 Before Flight

2.1 Power Supply

Power for transmitter T8S: Make sure the transmitter is fully charged.

Power for BDS200: The voltage of 2S LiPo battery packed with BDS200 is not fully charged by default, so the battery needs to be charged with the charger CM210 before flight.

The LiPo battery charger CM210, specially designed for 2S LiPo battery, sharing the professional development and high precision of CB86PLUS, ensures safer charging and battery life span.

CM210 Instruction for Use:

Insert one end of the standard USB cable into the Type-C input port of the CM210 charger (as shown in the picture below), and then connect the other end of the USB cable to power supply equipment such as power bank, computer, mobile phone adapter, etc.(Input Voltage: 5V) After the right connection, the red LED indicator will be always on.

Insert the balance port of the standard 2S lithium battery of A560 into the charging port of CM210 (as shown in the picture below). Then the green LED indicator starts flashing, which means it starts to charge the battery. (Note: The green LED indicator flashes during the charging to indicate normal charging; If the red LED indicator flashes during the charging to indicate abnormal charging. Please reconnect battery and cable to troubleshoot the abnormality.)

When all four LED indicators turn solid green, the battery is fully charged, and the charger will automatically stop charging.

Remove the battery and then disconnect the power supply.

2.4 LED Indicator Introduction

The drone comes with two light panels, located in front and behind the battery compartment of the drone, which are the team LED indicator light and the tail LED indicator respectively.

Team LED indicator: When the aircraft is not unlocked, you can switch colors by short pressing the CH6 switch of T8S. There are seven colors that can be switched, including red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, blue and purple.

Tail LED indicator: You can know the status of the flight controller through color changes.

When the aircraft is powered on but not armed, the yellow LED flashes;

When the aircraft is armed, the blue LED is always on;

When the battery voltage is low, the red LED flashes slowly;

When the battery voltage is seriously low, the red LED flashes fast;

When the aircraft is in anti-turtle mode, and the colored LED flashes.

2.5 T8S Transmitter Switch Introduction

T8S has 2 three-position switches, 1 knob-switch, and 1 push-button.

CH7 three-position switch is used to arm/disarm the aircraft. When CH7 switch is moved to the direction of CH8 switch(the top), it is armed (the throttle stick must be at the lowest position). When the CH7 switch is moved to the bottom, it is disarmed.

CH5 three-position switch controls the flight modes: stabilize mode and alt-hold mode. When the CH5 switch is moved to the bottom, it is in stabilize mode. When CH5 switch is in the center or moved to the direction of CH6 push-button (the top), it is in alt-hold mode. In alt-hold mode, the aircraft can maintain a constant altitude and hover in the air when the throttle stick is at the midpoint. The aircraft will rise above the midpoint of the throttle and descend below the midpoint of the throttle.

CH8 knob-switch controls the anti-turtle mode. When the aircraft is tilted at a large angle, the motor cannot take off after arming. Turn CH8 knob-switch fully clockwise to activate the anti-turtle mode. In anti-turtle, the tail LED will flash colored lights.

CH6 push-button switches the color of the team LED indicator. The picture below shows the functions of the remote control. Short press once to change one color. There are seven colors that can be switched, including red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, blue and purple.

2.6 T8S Transmitter Joystick Calibration

When the joystick of the T8S is not in the center position, or there is large difference of the travel amount, T8S needs to be calibrated. T8S joystick calibration method is as follows:

When the transmitter is power-off, toggle both sticks at the central point. Press rudder trimmer button (The first button on the left) and turn on transmitter at the same time. Four green LED indicators will start flashing and T8S is ready to be calibrated.

2. Range Calibration: Toggle both sticks (Ch1-4) to the highest point/maximum and the lowest point/minimum. Then back to the central point. (Refer to image below)

3. Central Point Calibration: When the joysticks are placed in the central point, press rudder trimmer button (The second button on the left), there will be DD sound. Four flashing LED indicators turn solid green means stick calibration is complete.

Chapter 3 Get Ready to Flight

Drone inspection:

1. Make sure the battery is installed securely and fully charged, and the battery is not bulging, deformed or damaged.

2. Inspect the propeller. Check whether the propeller is in good condition, without damage, cracks , aging and softening. Make sure the propellers are installed firmly and rotate smoothly, without jamming.

3. Inspect the fuselage and components. Scan the appearance of the fuselage to see if there is any damage, whether there are cracks in the screw connections, and whether the screws of each component are tight.

4. Check whether the motor installation is tight, and manually turn the motor to check whether the rotation is smooth.

5. Check the transmitter:

① Make sure the transmitter is fully charged.

②The joystick has no deformation in appearance and can be rotated flexibly without lag.

③The LED indicator of T8S lights up normally and there is no abnormal alarm signal.

Chapter 4 Three Flight Modes

CH5 three-position switch controls the two flight modes: stabilize mode and alt-hold mode. When the CH5 switch is moved to the bottom, it is in stabilize mode. When CH5 switch is in the center or moved to the direction of CH6 push-button (the top), it is in alt-hold mode. After the drone is turned over, turn CH8 knob-switch fully clockwise to activate the anti-turtle mode. In anti-turtle, the tail LED will flash colored lights.
