MicoAir MStar24 2.4GHz One-to-Many Telemetry Radio

The MicoAir MStar24 is a 2.4GHz LoRa telemetry system for point-to-multipoint links: one MStar24 Base ground unit monitors and controls up to eight aircraft at once from a single ground station. It carries MAVLink2 from every ArduPilot or PX4 flight controller in a fleet to Mission Planner or QGroundControl, and the transparent link passes any other serial data too.

Key features

• The Base appears on the PC as eight virtual serial ports (ChA–ChH), one per aircraft, so each vehicle connects as its own link
• OLED display shows mode and per-channel signal strength
• Shared downlink of 10.5 KB/s in standard mode or 22 KB/s in high-speed mode
• MStar24-F air units connect to the flight controller's serial port over JST-GH 4-pin and also run classic one-to-one or broadcast telemetry
• Not compatible with LR24, LR868 or LR900 radios

• Air unit max power: 500 mW
• Air units per Base: 1–8 (default 4)
• Range: up to 10 km (manufacturer figure)
• Base interface: USB, 8 virtual serial ports, 57600 baud default
• Module address: 1–30000 (default 8888)
• Antenna: SMA

Choose Base Only to extend an existing MStar24 fleet, Base + 4 Air Units for a four-aircraft setup, or Base + 8 Air Units for the full eight-aircraft capacity. The downlink is shared, so four air units in standard mode get about 2.6 KB/s each; keep MAVLink stream rates modest on larger fleets.
