MicoAir LR24-P 2.4GHz 1000mW 30dBm Data Transmit Module For Pixhawk Ardupilot PX4 10KM Long-Range LoRa Telemetry Radio

MicoAir LR24-P 2.4GHz 1000mW 30dBm Data Transmit Module For Pixhawk Ardupilot PX4 10KM Long-Range LoRa Telemetry RadioThe LR24 P Telemetry Radio is a small, cheap radio with superior performance for flight controller that typically allows ranges of better than 10 kilometers. And it is very suitable for Pixhawk or other Audupilot PX4 flight controller. It will connect automatically when power up without any configuration unless you need to implement some special features. The LR24 P works in the 2. 4GHz, so is better to use 915M receiver (BlackSheep ELRS 915) than any

The LR24-P Telemetry Radio is a small, cheap radio with superior performance for flight controller that typically allows ranges of better than 10 kilometers. And it is very suitable for Pixhawk or other Audupilot/PX4 flight controller. It will connect automatically when power up without any configuration unless you need to implement some special features.

The LR24-P works in the 2.4GHz, so is better to use 915M receiver (BlackSheep/ELRS 915) than any other 2.4G receiver on your drones.

Manual:

LR24-F will automatically bind and connect to each other after powering on with default setting, the green LED will always on when connection has completed. It can be used for communication between flight controller and ground station software (Mission Planner or QGroundControl) without any settings.

If some parameters of LR24-F needs to be changed, the MicoAssistant helps.

Download the MicoAssistant and Driver

MicoAssistant

CP2102 Driver (WIN7/10/11)

Follow the tutorial to install the CP2102 driver in windows.

Installation Guide for CP2102 Driver Step By Step – MicoAir Tech

After the driver installation is finished, connect the LR24-F to the PC via USB, open the device manager and remember the port number, will need it later.

Setup

Open the MicoAssitant, choose the correct port number of the radio, click “connect” button with baudrate “57600”.

Nothing will happen until you click the “Radio” button.

Click the “Radio” icon to open the Radio Setup Page, this will only happen when radio elemetry module has correctly connneted to PC and the driver has been installed.

You need to click “READ“ button to refresh the params on the first time. Modify the parameters according to your needs，and then click “WRITE” button to write it into module. The new parameters will take effect after re-power on.

Note that once the baudrate is modified, the new baudrate needs to be used the next time you connect.

Parameter Description

MODE

• DUPLEX (default): Bidirectional communication mode. In this mode, both telemetry can communicate with each other, and only 1-to-1.
• BROADCAST_TX: In this mode, the telemetry can only send data, usually use in RTK base station.
• BROADCAST_RX: In this mode, the telemetry can only receive data, usually use in RTK rover station.

RATE

• LOW (default)：2.4K Byte/s
• MID: 4K Byte/s
• HIGH: 8K Byte/s 
• ULTRA HIGH: 20K Byte/s 

Low-speed mode is enough for flight controller

CHAN_MODE

• MANUAL: In this mode, need to setup the working frequency manually, 2400-2482MHz, 1MHz step.
• AUTO (default): In this mode, it will work in a frequency automatically with lowest interference.
• FHSS_GROUND: FHSS mode for the radio telemetry which connect to PC.
• FHSS_AIR：FHSS mode for the radio telemetry which connect to flight controller.

 ADDR

Address parameter has a range of 1-30000, and default vaule is 1000, telemetry module can only communicate with each other with the same address value.

CHANNEL

This parameter can only be set in the “MANUAL” CHAN mode, with a range of 0-82, corresponding to 2400-2482MHz.

BAUDRATE

Baudrate for the JST-GH port, 9600-115200 can be set, and 57600 is default.

USB_BAUD

Baudrate for the USB port, can only be set to 57600 (default) or 115200 or 921600.
