MEX PDI Builder

MEX PDI Builder is the main configuration tool to adapt a MEX to a specific vehicle, including user-defined commnication protocols. It includes:

  • Telemetry: real-time onboard UAV metrics, such as sensors, actuators and control states.

  • Communications: through general purpose inputs and outputs, PWMs and CAN channels.

  • Stick control signal management: compatible with Stick Expander, Futaba, Jeti, FrSky and TBS. It includes custom configuration for other sticks.

  • Arbitration: MEX is able to send PWM signals using arbitration in the same way Veronte Autopilot 4x does.

Read the user manual for MEX PDI Builder for more details.

MEX PDI Calibration

MEX PDI Calibration is a straightforward application employed to calibrate the magnetometer embedded in MEX. It is recommended to use the MEX PDI Calibration the first time and every time MEX is employed at a different region, since the magnetic field of the Earth may change.

For more details, read the user manual for MEX PDI Calibration.

Note

By default, MEX has not any configuration. In consequence, MEX will be in maintenance mode and Veronte Link will show the Loaded with Error status. Nonetheless, it is possible to load a new configuration with MEX PDI Builder; since the maintenance mode allows to connect a computer and load any configuration, with any connection (USB, RS-232, RS-485 or CAN).

Lists of Variables

This section shows the variables employed by MEX. Nonetheless, MEX share variables with Autopilot 1x. To read these variables, read the List of variables of 1x Software Manual.
