The F.Port 2.0 protocol is the upgraded protocol from 1.0 version which integrates SBUS and S.Port into one line. This new protocol enables one Host device to communicate on one line with several Slave accessories. All connected devices by ACCESS receiver (Host) can be configured wirelessly to the ACCESS radio base on this protocol.
Q: What changes from 1.0 to 2.0 version?
The 1.0 version initially realized and simplified the F.Port bus transmission with integrated SBUS and S.Port from one Receiver to another device. The upgraded 2.0 can enable more devices to form into a chain to connect by the unique host device, all the connected devices can be upgraded and configured on the ACCESS radio over the air.
To complete the duplex data transmission between devices, the Signal via SBUS works separately unlike the configuration command & telemetry data interaction via Smart Port base on two different protocols.
F.Port now allows you to connect only one standard servo cable with the integration of SBUS signals and S.Port telemetry through a single connection. This opens up the possibility of seamlessly pairing a single receiver on F.Port protocol with multiple telemetry devices as well as simplifying one’s setup.
Usage includes Flight Controller
Standard models equipped with Flight Controllers usually use the Flight Controller as a hub to connect components like motors, video transmitter, ESC, and other accessories. With the new F.Port 2.0 protocol, the flight controller can host its’ own line of accessory (Slave), in addition, the flight controller (Slave) can also be controlled by the (Host) receiver.
Usage with FreeLink App
The ACCESS radio that comes equipped with a PARA module, pairing the F.Port 2.0 protocol can enable the FreeLink App to configure and flash the firmware for any F.Port 2.0 capable devices amongst the product line.
