MATEKSYS CRSF-PWM-6 Signal Converter for CRSF Receivers to 6 PWM Outputs

Introduction

The MATEKSYS CRSF-PWM-6 is a compact and efficient signal converter designed specifically for FPV and UAV enthusiasts. It bridges the gap between modern long-range radio receivers using the CRSF protocol (like TBS Crossfire and ExpressLRS) and hardware requiring standard PWM signals, such as servos or flight controllers needing direct servo outputs. This module is perfect for fixed-wing models, custom drone builds, or any project where precise servo control is essential from a CRSF-compatible receiver.

Key Advantages

• Versatile Signal Conversion: Converts CRSF protocol signals into six independent PWM outputs, enabling compatibility with a wide range of servos and actuators.
• Adjustable PWM Frequency: Supports multiple PWM frequencies (50/100/160/330/400 Hz, default 50 Hz) to match the requirements of different servos.
• Dual UART Ports: Includes two UART ports for connecting your receiver, GPS module, or for easy firmware updates.
• Integrated Telemetry: Features battery voltage detection and supports external current sensor input for real-time monitoring of crucial flight data.
• Advanced Features: Automatically sets failsafe values upon initial signal reception and supports firmware upgrades for future enhancements.
• Wide RF Band Support: Compatible with CRSF receivers operating on 868 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.4 GHz frequency bands.
• Lightweight Design: Extremely compact (25 x 16 mm) and lightweight (1.3g), ensuring minimal impact on your drone's overall weight and balance.
