Basics of RCDroidBox and Android application
Getting to know RCDroidBox We suggest that you try out RCDroidBox first at home or
somewhere quiet with an internet connection. Both the RCDroidBox and the Android application are
sufficiently documented, follow well-established usage and their use is intuitive. However, it is still
better not to be distracted by worries about the model aircraft, the bright sun or a flat phone battery
etc. when trying the product out for the first time. A smaller number of active BT devices will also
make it easier to choose the right one when connecting for the first time
Android application distribution The Android application which allows the visualization
and administration of the RCDroidBox data is available free of charge on Google Play. Even though
the application is free, Google Play requires users to create a user account. If you do not already
have a Google Play user account, then you will need to go through a simple process to set one up.
In order to install the RCDroidBox application you will need to go to Google Play, search for “JATAYA
RCDroidBox“ and then click on install. After approving the installation you will have the application
ready for use. Google Play will automatically remind you of any future updates for the application
Bluetooth connection security RCDroidBox is protected against unauthorized access using
a four digit PIN code. You will need to enter this code only once (during the so called “pairing“), as
your cell phone or tablet will remember the code. The primary purpose of this protection is to prevent
accidental or deliberate connection to your RCDroidBox by somebody else.
Firmware updates RCDroidBox continues to be developed further. In order to provide
everybody with the most recent features, improvements and bug fixes, a so-called "firmware update
mechanism" is built into the RCDroidBox. The Android application can automatically detect if the
firmware is the most recent, and if not, it automatically offers to update it.
First start and the configuration of the device
1) Selection of the device for pairing Connect the power supply to your RCDroidBox. The
status LED indicates by periodic flashing that the device is waiting for the Bluetooth connection. In
the Android device run the application and from the main menu choose the [RCDroidBox device] →
[Find RCDroidBox device]. From the displayed list choose the device named "RCDB_NewBorn". After
the selection is done you will be forwarded back to the main menu of the application.
2) Change of the device name and PIN You will be prompted to change the device
name and PIN on first usage of the [Telemetry], [Maps] or [Jetibox] menu items. The change of the
device name and PIN must be made as the device cannot be used if the PIN or name have the
factory default values i.e. the PIN is "1111" and the name is "RCDB_NewBorn“ or “RCDB_ReBorn“.
These must be changed.
Go to the application main menu and choose the [Telemetry] item. In approximately 5 seconds there
will be the dialog box shown prompting for the PIN entry. Enter the PIN "1111" and press [OK]. Wait
another 5 seconds for the dialog box which will prompt you for the personalized device name and
PIN. Enter the new PIN you have chosen (different from "1111") and press [Save]. Wait 30 seconds
until you will be prompted for re-entry of your new PIN. Enter your new PIN code once again.
3) Firmware actualization If the newer version of firmware is available for RCDroidBox the
menu item [Update firmware] is activated in the main menu. If this item is active in your application
menu, choose it and perform the actualization. The actualization of firmware begins 30s after the
layout (screen) is displayed. Wait for specified duration to expire and do not leave the screen. If the
actualization is performed correctly, or if the actualization was not requested by the program, you can
start to use your RCDroidBox device.
