Matek AP_Periph CAN RC Input Adapter
Seamlessly integrate your favorite serial receiver into a modern DroneCAN ecosystem with the Matek CAN-L4-RC Input Adapter. This powerful node is designed for advanced UAV and FPV drone builders, converting standard serial RC protocols (like CRSF or SBUS) into the robust DroneCAN protocol. It’s the perfect solution for large, sophisticated aircraft where wiring simplicity and signal reliability are paramount.
Integrate Any Serial Receiver onto the CAN Bus
The CAN-L4-RC allows you to use any standard serial receiver as a remote node on your vehicle’s CAN bus. This is ideal for large FPV planes or VTOLs where the receiver may be located far from the flight controller, such as in a wing or tail section. The CAN bus provides a more robust and interference-resistant communication link over longer distances compared to traditional UART wiring.
Optimized for ArduPilot & DroneCAN
Running on the proven ArduPilot AP_Periph firmware, this adapter ensures reliable and seamless integration with flight controllers running ArduPilot. It acts as a dedicated bridge, faithfully translating your radio inputs to the CAN bus for the flight controller to process. This is a professional-grade drone part for serious FPV drone and UAV builds.
Compact, Lightweight & Efficient
Designed with a tiny 23×12.5mm footprint and weighing only 2.5 grams, this adapter adds virtually no weight penalty to your build. It features low power consumption (10mA) and uses a standard JST-GH connector for a simple, plug-and-play connection to your vehicle’s CAN bus.
