Plantraco HFX 900 module

Post by SR71 »

Did someone try to connect/integrate the HFX900 module ?

?

They state that this module is compatible with Futaba and Hitec.
The connections are documented here:

It is feasible to connect this module to TH9 or Taranis ?

I can't tell from experience with this particular module, but it should work.
You would either have to supply 12V to it externally, or by connecting it to the 5 Pin connector in the module bay.

PPM would be your Signal, +BAT would be the 12V and GND remains Ground.
However, the datasheet of this particular module does not tell you how your PPM signal has to be configured. You might have to experiment with this or do some further research.
Also note that +BAT in the module bay does not necessarily supply 12V but only the battery voltage, in case of the standard 6 cell NiMh pack that comes with the Taranis this would be approximately 9.6 V.
I would advise you to contact the manufacturer of this module, they should be able to give you some additional information, especially the voltage range it operates at and the PPM configuration.
