Can you post the code use the hash box in the reply bar 9th from right. Have you set up the baud rate right. What is the parity setting it is spitting out. Question: Is my wiring correct? How does that correspond with the 3. Yes that is right but the threshold between a 0 and a 1 is around 3V so there should be enough to trigger the input.
Two points about the code:- 1 You are always changing the LED into the "nothing received" state, so when you are receiving something you will miss it on the LEDs. That will affect the threshold and might cause it not to work, so try the software serial for your input and so use another pin. I've tried the NewSoftSerial approach with no success that's why I switched to the serial port digital pin 0.
I wasn't sure if the NewSoftSerial library supports Baud. I'll give it another try. You might like to check if this is upsetting your receiver. If it is then you need a non inverting buffer between the two like two transistors or two inverters from a 74LS04 so you actually get serial signals into the Arduino.
Also, keep in mind the 3. I can receive non valid data via NewSoftserial with baud rates or less. According to the source code of the NewSoftSerial library it can transmit up to but only receive up to baud. I don't receive any data via digital pin 0 no matter what baud rate I select. Possibly DSSS is implied. Or possibly i have no idea what i am talking abut. With regards to crossfire which I would like to use, which flight controllers work with there crfs protocols.
Pretty much its like trying to race a model type A car against a modern honda, of course the new car will win. This is one thing I do not like about the industry, it is very hard to get true data because almost everyone that does testing is bias towards one or the other, Im trying to find true up to date data, of what is actually on the market that you can buy today not what you would have bought 10 years ago.
Its stupid really, why even put the data out there if its bias. You should also mention the protocols used between the transmitter and transmitter module. It also suprises me that the Horus seems quite slow when its advertised as having this new faster iXJT protocol.
Is this latency something unique to the X10S or should the X12S be the same? Does the signal wire alone, communicate the PWM signal from the Rx to the servo or controller, not needing a second ground wire? I have purchased both a Dimension Engineering DE Sabertooth 2x5RC motor controller and a SportBEC to power the receiver, an I have been instructed by DE staff to cut the two power wires from the aabertooth unit and only plug in the yellow signal wire, as the red and brown power wires are not required since I am using the SportBEC unit to provide rx power.
Is this logical? Tom Garing. Dear Oscar I have made model planes since I was 7. I am now pushing 80 and thought about making a quad- I know very little about the the control systems used.
I am fully conversant with electronics cad cam 3D routers and the like. I also design and build from the PC up, I fully understand Lipos brushless etc however I have not got the faintest idea as to telemetry etc regarding to quads I found your web site by accident yesterday and found it enthralling educational and addictive thank you very much.
Hello, Thanks for this great info. Is it possible to control multiple devices from one RC controller? Say i have 1 Futaba remote and 3 different RXs mounted to 3 cameras. Is there a system that exists that is multi -channel that can switch between the RXs or are they all ? You tested with a switch on the transmitter. Thank you for the info. I just wanter to know if frsky receiver would work with flysky transmitter?
I am asking this because in racercube aio, there is frsky receiver. Now since frsky transmitters are costly, i want to use flysky transmitter. So is there any setup to connect frsky receiver to flight controller of racercube.
Thank you for the comprehensive article Oscar. Really helps N00bs such as myself. Just one question: are the Tx and Rx protocols specific to each other? I have a Fr-sky x4R sb on y aircraft. Actually I am looking to have transmitter from futaba for atleast years. Need some help. Hi there Oscar, I have a question for you. Might be a question for either the FC or TX manufacturer. Yes, X4R-SB?
Oscar,,,,,I very much appreciate all of your write ups and the knowledge and research that you share time and again. Let me explain my current context and then I will get to the question part. I am a Spektrum radio user. Recently upgraded from the DX6i to the latest version of the DX8. On all units I am using Orange receivers. That is my history in short. In pre-study,,,,I feel that I grasp just about all with the exception of the twist that me being a Spektrum user throws into the build.
And also coming from no telemetry background adds another stress-or. All of the build videos are built pardon the pun around using the Frsky system. I have found nothing with a Spektrum addendum. With all said,,,,I have also come to vaguely understand that there are various types of telemetry i.
I think you can begin to see my last bit of consternation. Telemetry generally refers to the flight info sent from the RX to TX. Although Spektrum has produced two serial receivers one operating on 3. Additional sensors were available for altitude basically a barometer and talk of a GPS — but I never saw that come to market.
Regardless FrSky has a gamut of different sensors and you can program the radio to do different things with the information. Firstly, thanks for your posts. It depends on which SBUS receiver you are talking about. I just want to double check. I mean can I use Futaba sensors on a FrSky receiver? And vise versa? Satllite receiver outputs nice digital codes for each channel using standard UART protocol.
Some details of the protocol are available in my DIYDrones post diydrones. Regards, —Alex. Thank you for this. Excellent overview. Finally I found a good explantion that answered my questions.
Best Christof. In the aircraft I have a Spectrum AR receiver. I cannot get the Fail Safe to operate properly. Everything else works. Once everything is bound, I turn off the transmitter and the motor in the aircraft goes to high throttle instead of low throttle? I know they are with weatronic and IFS protocols. Best regards. Jorge Herrera. Hi, I think your explanation is slightly misleading. In serial communication, in contrast with parallel communication, multiple signals are multiplexed or encoded into a single stream.
Error checking is the responsibility of the individual protocol, i. This was written a few years back, my writing was terrible.
I will update this as soon as i can. I am an electrical engineer with college degree. As the name suggests this type of receiver requires serial port on the flight controller. A serial bus with only on wire to carry the serial data stream is called half duplex. Full duplex is the bus type that used to be provided on computers remember the DB9 connector with a Tx and Rx pin. Serial simply means the data arrives in a stream. Parallel means the data bits are broken into parts and sent simultaneously.
The other day I looked at the pinout for the Pixhawk on the arducopter website and I seem to recall that the uart bus had Txd and RxD pins or full duplex. Hi Oscar, I have an old ? As is apparent , I have been around RC for a while but the new protocols are a bit confusing.
It also allows for bi-directional telemetry support, giving users more access to telemetry features from their devices and even allowing setup and configuration right from their transmitter.
No computer or smart device required! Weighing just 1. The receiver comes with the plug uninstalled for the enthusiasts looking to reduce weight and clutter. Simply attach leads directly to the PCB or mount the connector and plug the included wire from the SPM into a compatible flight controller.
With an operating voltage range between 3. Fly-By Telemetry is a low range telemetry signal that is perfect for checking telemetry before and after a flight. The SPM employs an advanced antenna diversity system that provides optimal range, RF performance, and polarization.
