All standard package X55 units come with the Herelink Controller by default.
For more information about the Herelink Controller, please refer to the Herelink documentation.
By default, the Herelink is set up as a Mode 2 configuration.
The Herelink is fitted with six programmable buttons and one scrolling wheel. By default, the buttons are configured as follows.

To configure the buttons, open QGC, go to “vehicle setup” and click the “Buttons”
Flight mode must be set only through the QGC buttons page, and not the SBUS signal in Herelink settings.
The Herelink controller is able to share data via a Wi-fi hotspot connection to broadcast the information to a PC or tablet, to be used with other flight control software such as Mission Planner. To share telemetry data using this method, the hotspot has to be turned on.
To turn on the Wi-fi hotspot, click the icon next to the arrow.
To access the wireless hotspot settings, press and hold the Wi-fi option in the notification drawer and select “Tethering & Portable Hotspot”.
You can set your hotspot name and set the password.
On the PC, connect the Wi-fi to the hotspot. Open Mission Planner and set the port to “UDP” and click “Connect”. Enter port “14550”
You are now connected to the same Wi-fi network as the Herelink.
