Abstract: A method for assigning addresses to a plurality of controllers carried by a movable object includes receiving, at each controller, an addressing signal including an address and transmitted from a master controller via a shared communication interface that is shared by the plurality of controllers and the master controller, the plurality of controllers each being configured to control a component of the movable object; perform, in response to receiving the addressing signal, an assessment to determine whether a selected controller among the plurality of controllers has previously received an activation signal transmitted from the master controller via a respective private communication interface of a plurality of private communication interfaces that are connected to the master controller in parallel; and assigning the address to the selected controller in response to determining that the selected controller previously received the activation signal according to a result of the assessment.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for assigning addresses to a plurality of functional modules carried by a movable object are provided. In one aspect, a method can comprise: (a) transmitting an activation signal from a control module to a functional module of the plurality of functional modules via a first communication interface, thereby activating the functional module for addressing, wherein the plurality of functional modules are each configured to control a component of the movable object; (b) transmitting an addressing signal comprising an address from the control module to each functional module of the plurality of functional modules via a second communication interface different from the first communication interface, thereby causing the address to be assigned to the activated functional module of step (a); and (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) for each functional module, thereby assigning an address to each functional module.
