================
JAE JRE-30 Radar
================

The JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics Industry) JRE-30 radar is a light weight (70g) radar with a maximum range of 30m. The relatively wide beam width (10 deg) and reliable ranging even in difficult environments can make it a better choice than lidar for some applications.

Where to Buy
============

The JAE JRE-30 radar can be purchased directly from `JAE <https://www.jae.com/en/>`__. Note that it is only certified for use in Japan.

Specifications
==============

- Size: 50mm x 82mm x 28.8mm
- Weight: 70g
- Power consumption: under 500mA
- Input voltage: 4.5V ~ 5.5V
- Range: 0.1m ~ 30m
- Accuracy: +- 10cm
- Update rate: 30hz
- Transmitter antenna: 10deg
- Receiving antenna: 20deg
- Frequency: 24.05 ~ 24.25 Ghz (190Mhz)

Connection to Autopilot
=======================

The radar has an 8-pin BB8B-PH-K-S JST connector with the following pinout

+--------+------------+------------------+
|Pin No |Name | Details |
+========+============+==================+
|1 |VCC 5V |5V input |
+--------+------------+------------------+
|2 |GND | |
+--------+------------+------------------+
|3 |TxD |UART Tx |
+--------+------------+------------------+
|4 |RxD |UART Rx |
+--------+------------+------------------+
|5 ~ 8 |NC |Not connected |
+--------+------------+------------------+

If you choose to build a custom cable BPH-002T-PO.5S socket connectors should be used.

Setup
=====

Set the following parameters which assume the radar is connected to the autopilot's Serial1 port

- Set :ref:`SERIAL1_PROTOCOL<SERIAL1_PROTOCOL>` = 9 (Rangefinders)
- Set :ref:`SERIAL1_BAUD<SERIAL1_BAUD>` = 460 (460800 Baud)
- Set :ref:`RNGFND1_TYPE<RNGFND1_TYPE>` = 41 (JRE Serial)
- Set :ref:`RNGFND1_MIN_CM<RNGFND1_MIN_CM>` = 10 (cm)
- Set :ref:`RNGFND1_MAX_CM<RNGFND1_MAX_CM>` = 3000 (cm)
