Skydroid G11 Remote Control User Manual

Ⅰ. Overview

1. Product Features

G11 is Skydroid’s first flagship remote controller equipped with a Linux operating system. Ditching traditional open-source solutions, the G11 adopts in-depth customization and closed development based on the Linux kernel. It completely eliminates system redundancies, fundamentally avoiding software conflicts and crash risks, and delivers an ultra-stable, smooth, low-latency and secure industrial-grade control experience for users.s nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

Weighing only 480g, the unit features an ergonomic curved body that significantly reduces fatigue during prolonged holding. Built-in a high-capacity 10000mAh battery, it delivers an ultra-long runtime of 5 to 6 hours to fully guarantee uninterrupted operations. In terms of communication, it supports automatic switching between the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz dual frequency bands, with a maximum control range of 20km, maintaining rock-solid signal performance even in complex electromagnetic environments.

It is fitted with a 4.5-inch 1920×1080 full HD screen that presents delicate and lifelike images, and supports real-time OSD overlay to display flight data and video transmission status at a glance. Equipped with 11 precisely arranged physical control channels with distinct tactile feedback, it enables blind operation without visual check.

2. Main Uses and Scope of Application

G11 can be used for video image transmission (camera purchased separately), data transmission and control of unmanned devices including helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, multi-rotor UAVs, UGVs and USVs.

10. Remote Controller Frequency Binding

Receiver 1: GR01

Method 1:
①Power on the remote controller and supply power to the receiver. After power-up, the green light stays solid on, the blue light blinks intermittently, and the fan rotates periodically.
②Long press the frequency binding button on the receiver until the blue light flashes rapidly, then release the button.
③Tap Settings ⚙–〉Wireless Settings –〉Frequency Binding –〉Start Frequency Binding, confirm the operation and wait for binding success prompt.
④Once binding is successful, the receiver’s blue light will stay solid on.

Method 2:
①Cycle the receiver power four times quickly; it will automatically enter binding mode on the fourth power cycle with blue light flashing rapidly.
②Tap Settings ⚙–〉Wireless Settings –〉Frequency Binding –〉Start Frequency Binding, confirm the operation and wait for binding success prompt.
③Once binding is successful, the receiver’s blue light will stay solid on.
Notice: Maintain a distance of less than 50cm between the transmitter and receiver while performing frequency binding.

11. Video & Data Transmission Connection

Receiver 1: GR01

Wire according to the diagram above. Connect the SBUS & data transmission port of the receiver to the SBUS & data transmission port of the S3 flight controller, and connect the LAN port of the receiver to the LAN port of the gimbal camera. (Note: For device power supply and other wiring connections, please refer to the respective user manual.)

(1) Viedo & Image Ttansmission

Take Skydroid C10 Pro as an example: power on the camera and connect it to the LAN port of the receiver, then the video feed will be displayed.
If a third-party camera is used, its network segment must be set to the 144 segment (192.168.144.XXX). Tap Settings ⚙ to enter the settings page, select RTSP, tap Read Settings, enter the RTSP pull stream address of the camera, then save the settings. (Refer to Section 6 Video Settings in this manual.)

Note: The RTSP address of third-party cameras shall be provided by the manufacturer.

(2)Data Transmission

When data transmission cable and baud rate both set correctly, the flight controller data transmission will be automatically connected.

Note: If the connection fails, please check the following:
①Whether the serial port baud rate of the receiver matches the baud rate of the flight controller’s data transmission port (The baud rate of S3 flight controller is 921600).
②Whether the wiring definition of the data transmission is correct (RX connects to TX).
