Introduction

Overview of the BCON1 Transmitter

BCON1 is an Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Stand Alone Transmitter for Class

B0 equipment. BCON1 1090 MHz Non-Transponder-Device (NTD) is implemented independent of a

Mode S transponder to provide the implementation of Extended Squitter (ES) for drones and other

light vehicles/airplanes. The carrier frequency of ADS-B Message transmission is 1090 ±1 MHz, the

ADS-B transmitted message is broadcasted automatically once per second. The Downlink Format (DF)

18 is used for transmitting ADS-B Messages from BCON1 transmitter.

BCON1 transmitter accepts own GPS position information via serial (RS232) interface connected

directly to GPS receiver or via autopilot. The transmitter is preconfigured to use built in precision

altimeter which provides accurate altitude data. BCON1 transmitter support mutual suppression which

is needed when the ADS-B equipment is used along with pulse L-band equipment on board.

BCON1 can be supervised through proprietary Skysense Serial Communication Protocol (SSCP) or

Command Line Interface (CLI) via a serial interface using terminal software or BCON1 windows

application.

Get Started

Unpacking your parcel

Verify that following three items are included in the parcel:

One BCON1 transmitter. The picture below shows BCON1 with its various interfaces

One USB cable to connect BCON1 to your computer. This cable is only used for configuration

of BCON1.

One SAMTECH cable harness (with wires only on one end) to connect BCON1 to your drone.

Connect BCON1 to your computer

To use BCON1 with your computer, you need:

RS232 (DSUB9 male)-USB adapter cable (not included with BCON1)

Micro-USB cable for power supply and configuration (Included with BCON1)

A PC with a USB port, and with Windows Operating system (Windows 7 or later version).

Terminal emulator program.

BCON1 GUI client

Set up BCON1

Setup on BCON1 can be made with either an RS232 terminal port (e.g. HyperTerminal) or using BCON1

GUI client.

Install BCON1 client

Install the latest version of windows application that is available on github public repository

https://github.com/Skysense-io/tools/tree/master/bcon1-client-gui

Install Terminal application

Download the terminal application of your choice and then open the application and follow the on-

screen instructions.

Setup via BCON1 client

To connect BCON1 to your computer you need a USB cable, connect the microUSB end to the BCON1

and the standard USB end to the PC/Laptop. If the BCON1 is properly connected then the PC will detect

the new hardware as CDC Virtual COM, this COM port enables RS232 communication to BCON1 via

USB cable. Follow the instructions in Appendix C to install the device drivers.

Connection

Then open the GUI client, on BCON1 tab a new COM port should appear in the serial port list.

Click on the serial port to establish a connection with the BCON1.

Dashboard

This section provides selection of key settings and data.

If no new Com port appears in the Serial Port list, check the cables and make sure that there are

no unknown hardware devices in the Device Manager.

Parity: None

Stop: 1 bit

Flow control: None

Verify the connection by typing AT in the terminal window, BCON1 will return in response the

product id and acknowledgment.

Configure ICAO Id

Enter the new ICAO Id in hexadecimal by using the icao command in the terminal window, BCON1

will return in response the acknowledgment.

Toggle Transmit Mode

Turn off the transmission using txs command and then set the new ICAO id, at the end turn on the

transmission using txo command.

See Appendix B, for full list of CLI commands supported by BCON1.
