can someone tell me why the memory is sometimes yellow?

the memory usage on CC is fairly high and adding features like camera stability add to that.

lets see, dankers made a post in a different forum with a link to the pre-release firmware, I'm just copying and pasting it here and hopefully it will work
http://dl.dropbox.co....6c-install.exe

this will give you 10 outputs

Looks good, the link works.
@macranger: just be aware that this is not an official release so it is not tested as well as what you will normaly get from the download page. There will most likely be no major issues but please be careful when testing. Don't forget to export your UAV settings and erase all board settings before doing the firmware upgrade. This saves some trouble with incompatible settings.

Thank You!!!
Now i need a adapter for my two servos to conect to the mainport.
Have someone a picture of that????

[AlPackin]

I don't recall ever seeing a picture but I'll look around ....

I didn't find any picture but you just have to breadboard a servo header and connect the wires from the RC Receiver port cable

Ok. Should i connect 1 servo to 5 and 1 servo to 6?
But there is only a signal wire. I think the servo also need
ground and plus?

yeah, you need three wires to each servo, the wire from CC is only one of them (signal).  How to best wire that is up to you.  You could use servo extension cables, remove the CC pin from its plug and plug it into the extension cable signal position then just wire the +/- to an esc bec.

or you could cut the connector off the servo and CC cable and just solder all the correct wires together

[macranger]

Sorry for so many questions. But i'am not fit in such stuff.
Can i share the ground and the plus from the first wire? Solder together?
And only signal to orange and purple?

I guess it depends on how much current your servos draw.  I wouldn't really want to source current through the RC Input cable, its pretty small gauge wire.  I would connect 5v and ground from an ESC and only the signal wire from CC.

[macranger]

Do you mean like this?
All 3 red wire (2 servo and 1 bec) and all 3 black wire together?

yes (do not connect to the red and black in the CC cable).  Only connect the yellow and green from the CC cable to the signal wires to the servos.  Servo power from the ESC.

[dezent]

This is what my config looks like using sbus.
Make sure you solder the cable

orange - orange
red - red
black - black

works very well.

[dezent]

macranger asked me about a picture of my sbus cable, here is a picture of it, very simple

[macranger]

thanks dezent!! but this is only for one servo, isn't it?

[macranger]

i don't really understand. have you a 2 axis gimbal too?
can you take a picture how you install that?

[AlPackin]

I think dezent is just showing you his SBus to serial port cable not the output wiring to the servos that you are looking for.  The current topic here has deviated from the title of the thread
