FrSky - Two-Way System Protocol

This document outlines a two-way communication protocol between a remote device and host. It defines the hardware, serial communication settings, frame structure, and data types exchanged. Frames are 10 bytes headed by 0xFF and contain fields for header bytes, analog values, thresholds, link quality, and user data bytes. The protocol provides error-free communication and bi-directional exchange of sensor readings, settings, and custom user payloads.

Two-way system protocol

1. Aims

To help user develop his or her own program to fully make use of FrSky’s dual-way system.

2. Hardware defination

2.1. remote end

Port 1: 0~3.3V voltage, value: 0x00~0xff.


Port 2: 0~3.3V voltage, value: 0x00~0xff.
Port 3: RS232 RX pin.
Serial COM setting: 4800bps, 8bit, No parity, 1 stop bit.

2.2. host end

Serial COM setting: 4800bps, 8bit, No parity, 1 stop bit.


Build in error free protocol, there is no need for error correction by user.

3. Frame protocol

Ten bytes frame headed with 0xff.

3.1. Host end

Input for setting alarm threshold


HEAD1 HEAD2 Threshold Greater Alarm level 5 bytes Answerred with
value 1:greater than 0: greatest 00
0: less than 1: middle
2: lowest
0xFF 0xFC Analog 1 1/0 The same frame
0xFF 0xFB Analog 1 1/0 The same frame
0xFF 0xFA Analog 2 1/0 The same frame
0xFF 0xF9 Analog 2 1/0 The same frame
Input for request all available threshold setting

3.2. Remote end

Just pure user bytes.
