I'm using a clone arduino nano with a 328P and on-board serial-USB using a CH340G iC. I'm not able to get my orangeRX (model R615) to bind. I'm not sure I fully understand the process in the first place but let me describe what I know.
I'm using MW 2.4 (also note I have no other orange / DSMX / DSM2 equiment so I cant simply bind some other way then move it over to the MW...)
Devo 7E with Deviation (running the 3/5/15 nightly)
Arduino nano clone w/ 328P
This is the Rx section of code (as-is while I'm trying to bind)

So when I try to bind I disconnect the MPU6050 board from A4/A5 (the only I2C port on the 328P based nano) and un-comment the 4 bind lines above (do I need to comment out "#define SPEKTRUM 1024" and "#define RX_SERIAL_PORT 0 " while I'm trying to bind with the other 4 lines active?). I then plug in the orange Rx to A4, A5 and A6, compile, upload, power off, power back up and open the GUI, connect and try to hit bind but nothing happens, no lights flash or anything and because the MPU6050 is now disconnected all the readings on the GUI go crazy (and I get an ever rising I2C error count) but that's it. Also note (as I believe it should be) the purple/blue "RX BIND" button appears on the lower left of the GUI only when the 4 bind lines are active, if I comment those back out the button isnt there.
I've got no idea what I'm doing here, I have tried to speculate what the issue is but everything I look into, thinking it's going to be it isnt it and I get no closer, I've been working at this a few days now. I'm not ready to fly, still finishing up my 3D printed frame and waiting on new props but I have it all setup on the bench and it should be fine for testing (especially just for getting this thing bound).
Thanks in advance for any help!
edited to add: Also note I found this post on RCG, while I wasn't comfy giving it 5v I did use my bench PS to give the orange sat unlimited 3.3v, it could of drawn up to 2A if needed, so I know that's not the problem.
