How to Connect BetaFPV A02 VTX

Here’s is the pin out of the A02 VTX:

Seems like they made a mistake on the labels of the pins in the VTX they sent me. The second “SW” from the top is actually “GND” (ground). Not a problem as long as you are following the manual for connection.

Here is an example how to connect the A02 VTX to a flight controller, in this case the BetaFPV F722 AIO FC. The color of the lines in the diagram corresponds to the 6-pin connector’s wires’ color.

How to Exit PitMode

PitMode allows racers to power up video transmitter during race events without interfering with others. It does this by reducing VTX power to the minimum, with a limited range of about 2-3m.

You can activate PitMode by pressing the button on the VTX twice.

To exit Pitmode, double-press the button, and it will return to the previous power state.
