Introduction
The AeroBuddy is a dedicated hardware SBUS multiplexer designed to simplify pilot training. It creates a robust "Buddy Box" system directly on the drone, eliminating the need for complex linking cables between radios or unreliable wireless trainer protocols.
How it Works (Trainer Mode)
In a training scenario, you have two pilots:
The Instructor (Master): Has ultimate authority. They can fly the drone or hand over control to the student.
The Student (Slave): Can fly the drone only when the Instructor permits.
The AeroBuddy connects both receivers to the drone. The Instructor's (Master) receiver controls a "switch" (via a PWM signal).
Switch OFF: AeroBuddy routes the Instructor's signal to the Flight Controller.
Switch ON: AeroBuddy routes the Student's signal to the Flight Controller.
If the student gets into trouble, the instructor simply flips the switch on their radio to instantly regain full control.
