Viulinx

Viulinx (by Taisync) offers compact, all-in-one digital datalink systems that carry HD video, telemetry and RC control on a single encrypted channel.

Based on OFDM waveforms with FPGA-based signal processing, Viulinx modules are well-suited for inspection, mapping, and ISR platforms where simplicity, low weight, and reliable long-range links are the priority.

Key capabilities

  • 1.4 GHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.8 GHz variants — choose frequency based on range and regulatory requirements

  • Ranges from 10 km (2.4 GHz) up to 100 km (1.4 GHz, 5 W with directional antenna)

  • All-in-one link: video downlink + telemetry + RC uplink in one module

  • Sub-300 ms glass-to-glass latency; AES-256 encryption standard

  • Compatible with QGroundControl, MissionPlanner, and standard RTSP video pipelines

  • Viulinx MINI at just 25 g — ideal for small VTOL and multirotor platforms


Connecting to DroneCore

Viulinx air units connect via (telemetry) and optionally (FX variants with IP interface). The exact port depends on the variant chosen.

DroneCore version

Cable

DCS1

UART (TTL)

<TELEM_UART_LABEL> on Cube carrier (e.g. TELEM2)

JST-GH 6-pin telemetry cable

DCS1

Ethernet (FX variants)

<ETH_PORT_LABEL> on Jetson carrier

Ethernet patch or JST-to-RJ45 adapter

DCS2

UART (TTL)

<TELEM_UART_LABEL> on adapter board

JST-GH 6-pin telemetry cable

DCS2

Ethernet (FX variants)

<ETH_PORT_LABEL> on adapter board

Ethernet patch or JST-to-RJ45 adapter

Power the air unit from the <5V_PAYLOAD_LABEL> rail - all Viulinx modules operate at 5 V.

For UART-connected variants, set the Cube's matching SERIALx_PROTOCOL to MAVLink2 and SERIALx_BAUD to match the Viulinx uplink baud rate (typically 57600 or 115200). RC passthrough (SBUS/PPM) connects directly to the air unit's RC input - no additional wiring to the Cube is needed for that function.

For the Viulinx MINI at 25 g, the JST-GH 6-pin cable from the DCS standard telemetry harness fits directly with no adapter.
