Nano with 3DR telemetry module

We do not have those specific modules so it’s impossible for us to test your particular setup.
Are you sure to connect to the serial port, not the i2c port ?

Unless the diagram is incorrect.

This is the right port, and pinout.
Again, you need to verify that upon starting a connection in WinGUI you get the requests on the other end otherwise it will not work.

Those modules are not made for the Quadrino Nano so some tweakings and verifications are required.
Also, when i tested (back in 2015) with the 3DR modules, it was OTG using a phone not WinGUI

In theory it works the same but maybe not.
You can have a try in OTG as well.

Excuse my ignorance but what is “OTG”?

Also, Do you know where a list of commands that I could send to the Nano over the serial-1 port to get it to respond? Dump data, beep, flash, etc…
I could hook directly to the Nano port with a normal serial port on a computer to see if I can get it to respond.

The OTG stands for “On The Go” you can read more about it HERE.
In this case it would be connecting your module directly to a phone or tablet instead of the PC.

The MultiWii Serial Protocol is quite intensive to use but HERE it is.

There is a “CLI” tab on the WinGUI. do you know where I can find commands that the Flight Controller will respond to?
Thanks…Tom

The CLI tab will not work unless you are connected and your problem is the connection.
About the list of commands, they are linked in the previous post.

If you are referring to this list of commands, the FC doesn’t respond when connected to the computer running WinGUI and typing in “MSP_IDENT” and selecting “send”. (Or any of the others)

I’m not a programmer myself but the protocol is far more intricate than just typing the text, that I know.

You might want to look for examples online regarding the multiwii protocol.

I’ve tested some wireless XBee modules this afternoon and the latency is too much for WinGUI to properly work. I’m getting an error too.
