Power your strip with 5V and GND, and connect signal line to PWM6 through-hole.

Don't forget to turn on the feature "LED_STRIP" in configuration tab of BFC.

And I don't know which is which anymore as far as aio.
I'm confused for last couple of month now

Is the a thread for f4 pro v2?

This is a F4 AIO thread, so I will explicitly write it.

With STOCK BF 3.1.x, LED strip works on
F4 AIO (OMNIBUSF4 target) : PWM5

F4 V2 and F4 Pro (OMNIBUSF4SD target) : PWM6
Are you sure about the V2 board mapping the LED strip to PWM6?

I just dump my "Resource" list from my V2 and noticed that it showed A01 matching LED Strip and Motor 5 pad (copied it in part below)
resource MOTOR 5 A01
resource MOTOR 6 A08
resource LED_STRIP A01

Am I messed up? Thanks

Code:
#ifdef OMNIBUSF4SD
    DEF_TIM(TIM5,  CH2, PA1,  TIM_USE_MOTOR,               TIMER_OUTPUT_STANDARD, 0), // S5_OUT
    DEF_TIM(TIM1,  CH1, PA8,  TIM_USE_MOTOR | TIM_USE_LED, TIMER_OUTPUT_STANDARD, 0), // S6_OUT
#else
    DEF_TIM(TIM5,  CH2, PA1,  TIM_USE_MOTOR | TIM_USE_LED, TIMER_OUTPUT_STANDARD, 0), // S5_OUT
    DEF_TIM(TIM1,  CH1, PA8,  TIM_USE_MOTOR,               TIMER_OUTPUT_STANDARD, 0), // S6_OUT
#endif
Can you check the target identifier? If OBF4, your board is flashed with OMNIBUSF4 (which corresponds to your resource mapping).

There is a need to connect the servos to the board. I tried to connect to PWM5 and PWM6 but the servo is not working.
Which pin of the servo can be connected, or what settings you need to make?
Thank you.

With BF3.1, you have to explicitly assign servos by cli resource command.

Try

Code:
resource pwm 5 none
resource pwm 6 none
resource led_strip none
resource servo 1 a1
resource servo 2 a8
save

3.1.x PWM freaking out fix


For those of you need an immediate fix for the PWM motor freaking out on arm:

Exotic OMNIBUS

There is an entry "[BF3.1.x] Fix PWM motors freaking out on arm".

The servo is not working. You can still need something to set up in the "Servos"?
My resource settings:
Code:

resource MOTOR 4 A02
resource MOTOR 5 A01

resource MOTOR 7 NONE
resource MOTOR 8 NONE
resource MOTOR 9 NONE
resource MOTOR 10 NONE
resource MOTOR 11 NONE
resource MOTOR 12 NONE
resource SERVO 1 A01
resource SERVO 2 A08
resource SERVO 3 NONE
resource SERVO 4 NONE
resource SERVO 5 NONE
resource SERVO 6 NONE
resource SERVO 7 NONE
resource SERVO 8 NONE
resource PPM 1 B14
resource PWM 1 B14

What are you going to do with these servos? Cam gimbal, tail servo for TRI, triggering external PWM controlled device, etc... Different use case require different settings.

For connecting a receiver - I have a spektrum ar7700, it has PPM output also SRXL output.

I can use either, but tried PPM to the UART3 pins, but couldn't get it to recognize. Do I need to solder the little jumper between SBUS and PPM? In the GUI I've selected the Rx_serial under ports tab for UART3.

If I use SRXL do I just connect this to the DSMX port on the FC?

I'm trying to flash a Omnibus F4 Pro (V2) from my Airbot with BF 3.1.3 (Target OmnibusF4SD).
I have the Zadig Driver Installed and could go to DFU-Mode without Problems.
When I try to flash, the FC gets erased (Progress bar "Erasing" gets filed. After the deleting I get instantly a full yellow progress bar "Flashing" and then nothing happens (I have waited a long time). Afterword the FC didn't connect in normal Mode, but Bootmode (DFU) is still accessible (but won't flash).
I have read that it could be possible, that the Bootloader is blocked and I should use a FTDI Programmer to unlock.

Where should I connect the FTDI? Is Uart1 ok? How to proceed?

As I mentioned in the clones and counterfeits thread, I don't know about Speks, but I realized that you are using UART3.

OMNIBUS F4 Series uses UART1 for Serial RX. Try switching to UART1.

For the jumper, SBUS must be closed. How does your jumper section look like? (There are a couple of revisions.) A pic would be great.

Servo will be used to tilt the course video camera.

Can you try flashing it in DFU mode, with Full chip erase = OFF?

If flashing is successful and you can connect normally with the configurator, goto CLI tab and enter "defaults" to erase the old config data stored in eeprom; this will be equivalent to "Full chip erase".

The blocked bootloader issue seen on clones are kindly addressed in newer configurator.

Ahhh can someone please help me, I must be missing something but I cannot connect ibus to this board, not using the sbus pins (j7) but this works for ppm ok, everything else I try I can't get it to work, tried j2, j6 and j1, all on Rx pin , selected serial and ibus on config page, selected the correct UART , tried 2 omnibus f4 boards and two receivers 1 x6b and a ia6b , just don't know what I've missed

Use J7 and UART1.
