hobbyking multiwi pro 2.0 using serial/ spektrum sat rx

[captainanthony]

Ok I have been trying to find out if it is feasible to use either a spectrum type sat Rx(just the sat) OR an open lrs orange rx ( ppm using RX ch5 configured for serial out ) with the hobbyking type fc (MCW MEGAv1.0 ) multiwii pro 2.0

My problem is not the software but knowing where to make a connection(s) on the FC circuit board for reach of the above 2 options
I see from pictures that some of the later boards ( from whitespy) have ports on the board to connect a sat RX input . Descriptions on the arduno /multiwii do not seem pertinent to the board I am using>>>>> i.e. " For MEGA boards, attach sat grey wire to RX1, pin 19" pin 19 ????

Also where do I connect a buzzer to this board and rssi input ? so I can seeit on the GUI.......from what I have read I could guess the connections but if some one knows for sure I would prefer to use their experience

Hook it up to any serial port and define the serial port number used in the config.h.
However, the satellites run on 3.3V.. you have to use a 3.3V voltage regulator on the power line, or grab 3.3V from the board somewhere. GND and signal hook up directly.

Actually, I just found this: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2141820
Should answer your question.

Arakon, Thanks for the info that really helps .......... I have now got the serial RX orange uhf open LRS working ! on A8 Input of the multiwii.. next I am about to try the setup with the orange SAT RX ( two projects going off at once )
still tying to figure out why the buzzer (beeper) won't cooperate . I have it connected to D8 ( between ground and signal ) also still trying to figure out how to get the rssi from serial RX in to the mutlti wii board so I can see it on the GUI .it's a guessing game trying to find the input to the FC
