(1) with 1k resistor
(2) for older receivers like TM1000 & TM110, 1k-3.3k pull up resistors are needed. For newer receivers with both XBUS and SRXL2 ports, no pull ups are needed. If incorrect choice, XBUS won't work. Try the other option if no telemetry is shown in transmitter
(3) Optional
Status led of the board blinks when sending telemetry. If it doesn't blink check connections and config.
RP2040 Zero pinout
RP2040 Zero has to be powered with 5v or less. For higher voltage, a voltage regulator is needed.
It can be powered from the telemetry port or from BEC. Some receivers deliver 5v or less at the telemetry port, even if BEC voltage is higher than 5v. Check that voltage supplied to RP2040 is not higer than 5v.
Press BOOT button during startup and paste the binary file MSRC-RP2040.uf2 to RP2040 folder
If you want to build the firmware for the RP2040 yourself:
Install RP2040 SDK
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/dgatf/msrc.git
cd board
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
File to flash: project/MSRC-RP2040.uf2
Connect RP2040 to USB and update config with msrc_gui. msrc_gui.AppImage for Linux and msrc_gui.exe for windows. After update reboot RP2040 manually.
Debug mode can be enabled and viewed with msrc_gui.
If you want to build msrc_gui:
- Install QT
- Install Qt serial port library (Use Maintenance Tool or in Ubuntu sudo apt install libqt5serialport5-dev)
- cd msrc_gui
- mkdir build
- cd build
- qmake ..
- make
It is recommended to update config with msrc_gui as not all parameters are implemented in lua script.
The configuration is modified with a lua script (X7, X9, X-lite and Horus with openTx 2.2 or higher)
Copy the file msrc.lua to the SCRIPTS/TOOLS folder. (if using older openTx 2.2 copy to SCRIPTS folder and execute by long press)

- CRSF: serial, 416666 bps
- Sanwa: serial, 115200 bps
Connect MSRC to Smartport.
Connect MSRC the telemetry port.
Auto-config may be used to detect the new sensors.
For older telemetry receivers with only XBUS port like TM1000 and TM1100, pull up resistors are needed. For newer receivers with both XBUS and SRXL2 ports, pull up resistors are not needed. In either case it has to be the correct option, otherwise XBUS won't work. So, if no telemetry shown in transmitter try the other option (with or without pull ups). One of the two posibilities will work. (Thanks RCG_KevinB & Kallend from RCGroups for solving this issue).

Spektrum SRXL is bidirectional with telemetry, other SRXL are unidirectional. See SRXL.

Any ESC with Kiss telemetry: APD F, blheli32, Summit X.
APD F
Telemetry port for APD F: pin T
Types of telemetry:
-
RPM output it is a PWM signal with the RPMs. Select PROTOCOL_PWM and connect to pin PWM in as noted in connections table
-
PWM telemetry. For this type of telemetry you need to flash beta firmware. It provides serial telemetry with RPMs, voltage, current and temperature. Select PROTOCOL_APD_F. Connect ESC pin T to pin Rx as defined in connections table.
Serial telemetry with RPMs, voltage, current and temperature.
If the ESC have a PWM signal or a phase sensor is installed, RPMs can be measured. If ESC have both serial and PWM signal, like Hobbywing V4/V5, then PWM signal is not needed for telemetry
The telemetry is send over the ESC signal. Castle Link has to be enabled in the ESC config

(2) For 80A models and higher
(3) Not available in all models
(4) Sensors varies depending on model and firmware. See annex
(5) Upgrade to latest firmware version. But note VBAR versions of firmware are not compatible. Install a non VBAR version of the ESC firmware
If voltage is available the cell voltage average is calculated for 3S,4S,5S,6S,7S,8S,10S and 12S batteries. 10 seconds after power on the number of cells is autodetected. Average cell voltage to be >3.8v for correct cell count
If current is available, battery consumption is calculated in mAh
Adjust RPMs in msrc_gui:
- Set the number of pair of poles of the motor, Pair of poles
- For helis also set the pinion and main gear teeth: Pinion teeth, Main teeth
Alternatively this can be done in the transmitter
Serial GPS (NMEA protocol) is supported. Select the same baudrate as the GPS module.
Calibrate voltage analog sensors with Voltage multiplier. Or from opentx, but it is recommended in order to increase sensor resolution
Multiplier = (R1+R2)/ R2
No need to calibrate. For fine tuning adjust in ntc.h: NTC_R_REF, NTC_R1, NTC_BETA
Calibrate current analog sensor from msrc_gui. Or from opentx, but it is recommended in order to increase sensor resolution
Set sensor type:
-
Hall effect (ACS758, Amploc). Multiplier = 1000 / sensitivity(mV/A). Select auto-offset or set zero current output voltage (Viout), which us the voltage at current 0
-
Shunt resistor sensor. Multiplier = 1000 / (ampgain * resistor(mΩ))
Vcc for the airspeed sensor must be 5V. The maximum readable output the sensor is 3.3V due to the rp2040 ADC range : 0-3-3V
The limits the maximum speed to about 120km/h. Over 3.3V output the reading is the same as for 3.3V. It won't damage the rp2040 as Vout current is 0.1mA.
If higher speed measurement (up to 170km/h) is needed, an stepdown has to be added. But this is still not added to the code.
Relation between Vout and delta pressure.

If a barometer sensor is installed, you'll get more accurate airspeed values as air density is calculated with actual temperature and pressure. Otherwise following default values are used: 20ºC and 101325Pa.
Parameters:
slope = Vcc/5. Nominal value is 1
offset = ±6.25% VFSS = ±0.25. Nominal value is 0
Transformation formula:
Transformation formula with MSRC parameters:
Air density calculation:
R -> dry air constant
Airspeed calculation:
TAS -> airspeed (m/s)
The following I2C sensors are suported:
- Barometer: BMP180, BMP280, MS5611
Note: only XBUS for now
Fuel flow sensor with PWM pulses are supported. It is neded to set the parameter ml/pulse.
If this parameter is unknown, to calibrate:
- Measure the weight of the tank or the model
- Enable Fuel Flow sensor in msrc_gui
- Then either:
- Set the parameter ml/pulse to 1 and then the number of pulses will be the consumption in your transmitter
- Enable log in msrc_gui and note the number of pulses
- After a while, stop the engine. Note the last number for pulses
- Weight the tank or model again and use the folloing formula to obtain the parameter:
ρ -> fuel density (g/m3)
ΔWeight -> g
The default sensor id is 10. This can be changed with change_id_frsky
Depending on your configuration some the following sensors will be available in Opentx. After configuration go to sensors screen and update with Search new sensors

Some of the sensors have to be adusted in openTx
If not adjusted in MSRC config you can adjust in the sensor parameters in opentx:
- Blades/poles: number of pair of poles * main gear teeth
- Multiplier: pinion gear teeth
Remark: Instead of adjusting the sensor in opentx, it is recommended to use Voltage multiplier to increase the sensor resolution.
Measure the voltage of the battery with a voltmeter and adjust Ratio in A3, A4 sensor.
Remark: Instead of adjusting the sensor in opentx, it is recommended to use Current multiplier to increase the sensor resolution

To calculate the battery consumption add a new sensor:
- Type: Calculated
- Formula: Consumption
