SBus connection on Atmega2560

Post by matster »

Hi

Which rs232 port do I connect my SBus port from my X8R FrySky receiver?

I'm running 2.30Navi-B7 firmware and software

Thanks in advance :)

Whichever you define in #define RX_SERIAL_PORT x.
Remember that you need a signal inverter.

I just setup my X4R with one ofd those to the Flip Pro 32u4 based FC, worked great. I did have to use the DEV 1648 branch to get the S.Bus values to stabilize. Watch out for that, I remember reading the FrSky sends packets at 9ms and the baseline 2.3 code had to be adjusted to sync properly.

OK good news is that the inverter and serial port etc worked as well.... :)

however in my WinGUI I still can only allocate AUX commands to 1-4 AUX, I can see that 5-8 are working, but they're not selectable!

what am I missing?

It isn't, unfortunately. Multiwii stops at 8 channels total.

i guess to show that it is being decoded from sbus, and likely with the intention for when it is supported in mw.
