Flip Pro and SBUS

Post by dfruehwald »

Where do you attach SBUS on a 32u4 based controller?

Can SBUS and Bluetooth be used at the same time?

Can CPPM and Bluetooth be used at the same time?

CPPM and bluetooth, yes. sbus and bluetooth, no.
You only have one serial port available.

Thanks. In that case I'll get a SBUS to CPPM converter or switch to a D Series receiver which might be a better option so I can have Telemetry.

Is there a board that can do Bluetooth and SBUS at the same time? A Mega or STM perhaps.

Any atmega2560 based board will do that.. they have 4 serial ports.

Thanks. I found a Pro Mini which is a 2560 in the 50x50 format that should work.

Just have to decide between that or the Quanton (32-bit) boards.

Got my Flip Pro working with S.Bus. You need an inverter cable then connect signal to RX1. I used the Raw input so the onboard reg supply's 5V to the Receiver via VCC and Ground. Had to go to 2.3 - 1648 to get S.Bus values to be stable with FrSky X4R
