Cannot Find SERIAL6 Parameter in Mission Planner and see nothing in serial ports



Hi everyone,

I’m new here and would really appreciate some help.

My setup:

  • Mission Planner version: 1.3.82
  • Flight Controller: MatekF765-WSE
  • Firmware: ArduCopter_with_BL 4.6.1

I was trying to configure a serial port for my flight controller in Mission Planner. I’ve connected a telemetry radio (LR24F) to UART6, and I expected to see SERIAL6_* parameters in the Full Parameter List. However, they’re missing — I can see other serial ports (e.g. SERIAL0 to SERIAL5), but not SERIAL6.

I’ve attached a screenshot showing what I mean.
I was told all serial ports should be configured via the Full Parameter List, but I can’t find SERIAL6 at all.

Has anyone encountered this before? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Default UART order

  • SERIAL0 = console = USB
  • SERIAL1 = Telemetry1 = UART7 (support CTS and RTS signaling)
  • SERIAL2 = Telemetry2 = USART1
  • SERIAL3 = GPS1 = USART2
  • SERIAL4 = GPS2 = USART3
  • SERIAL5 = USER = UART8
  • SERIAL7 = USER = UART6 (TX only unless BRD_ALT_CONFIG = 1, then RX available also)
  • SERIAL8 = USER = UART5 (RX only, for ESC telemetry)

Thank you so much. It worked.
