Hello

I have Problems with my Sbus R6203SB Reciever.
I will try to explain with my english.

Until now i used a 7 Chanel Reciever with my Futuba FF7.
This combination works well.
Now i will change to SBus,  because i will operate two additional servos for camera.
I made a wire for connection to cc-board.  I solder a servo-wire to
the main-port wire. Red to red, black to black and orange to orange.
The blue one is unused.
My Reciever is bound to transmitter. Lights up in green.
Unfortunately i can not connect to the GCS.
I made some Screenshots.
What else should i change in the GCS?
I Use a Macbook Pro.

Thanks for help.
Claus

I do not think the Receiver type setting at the top is correct. Change that back to PWM and leave the mainport only on S.Bus.

Ahh. Ok i try it later at home.

But i don't understand why?
It is a S-Bus reciever.
These are settings from a colleague.

I'm using S.Bus on most of mine, using that same receiver.  Everything you have looks correct to me.  The only difference is that I'm using Windows, and I have telemetry enabled on my flexi port.   I believe I've only tried this with 0819 software.

Cheers,
Rusty

So now the receiver is on but unfortunately memory is now yellow!
Do not know why the receiver is there.
Strange is that when I am out at the RCinput and whant to remove the check mark from RC Flight mode and i press save gcs automatically put the mark back.

that's likely because it is not calibrated, same number on the left and right (139)

[macranger]

So now so far everything seems to be working.
Will now have my 2 servos connect the camera gimbal.
Did that now write the following:
Servo pitch compensation to port 1 on the receiver (see picture)
Servo roll compensation on port 2 on the receiver (see picture)

When I have the order RCInput Roll Pitch Throttle Yaw FlightMode
(See picture)
Output are my 6 motors (see picture)

When I say in Camera Roll Stabilization Channel Mapping for Channel 1 Roll and for Channel 2 Pitch and press save then the programm set this two points automatically back to none ????
What do I need to adjust for where?

Thank you for your help

Yes, this is the OUTPUT channel mapping and channel 1 & 2 are already used for the motors. You have to select the servo channels here that connect to your camera servos (7 & 8 for example). And you have to configure this two channels in the output windows (second picture). I have to admit that I never used the camera stabilization feature but this is how I understand the configuration.

[AlPackin]

this is a hexacopter?  All 6 outputs shown are motors?

You can't assign your servos to ch1 and 2 because they are already being used by the motors.  They have to be set to 7 and 8 which are reassigned, unused PWM input pins. The servos must be setup in the output configuration screen.

You also need the correct firmware version to do this.  Information here

I was searching while you were posting D-Lite, and missed your post

[macranger]

Ok this is my firmware. Is the version right?
But should i put  the servos from the gimbal in the reciever or to the kabel from the mainboard?
If to mainboard i need an adapter isn't it?

The version looks okay.

Well, as you want to use camera stabilization, the gimbal servos have to go the CC board, otherwise it will not have any control over the servos. If you want manual control only (no stabilization) you can connect the gimbal to the receiver directly. And yes, you have a hexa so all 6 "normal" servo outputs are already occupied so you need to connect the gimbal servos to one of the channels that is normaly used as PWM input (output 7-10). This requires a kind of adapter or you have to remove two of the headers from the PWM input cable and attach a male header. (Edit - sorry, that will not work as the servos needs power. You need a Y-cable to get power from one of the other connectors and only get the PWM signal from the PWM input cable)

no you have the 819 FW which does have camera stabilization but only for a quad.  It only supports 6 outputs.  The next release supports 10 outputs.  You can only get the next release by joining the Flight Test Team at the moment but it should be available to the public soon.

You will have to use the PWM receiver cable that comes with CC as an output cable that will support outputs 7 to 10.

you must have gotten out of bed a few minutes earlier then I did today D-Lite

Ah, yes, you are right! I only checked that his firmware supports camera stabilization (which it does) but the 10 channel support was added later..

But in the output i have channel 7 and 8?

Or i have to wait for the release?

[D-Lite]

The 10 channel feature was first introduce end of october while the official release was build in august so it doesn't contain this feature. As Al said, you would have to join the flight test team or compile it yourself to get a newer release.

Maybe I'm closer to the server so my data packets arrive a bit earlier ;-)

yes, 7 and 8 show on the screen but are not supported in the version
Let me see if I can find out how much longer before the next release or we can add you to the Flight Test Team if you would rather

[macranger]

ok fine.  i would.
i bought the reciever only for this.

[macranger]

can someone tell me why the memory is sometimes yellow?
