Thank you for the comment! Yeah, I never ever imagined that this video would get all of this viewership. This really highlights that although we all missed this instruction, FrSky was also wrong to break years of wire color convention on their receivers. I wonder every time I get a comment on this video… why couldn’t they have just made it the yellow wire? If they did, this video would never have existed and hundreds of people would not have had this confusion.

Thank you so much John, I've been scratching my head for few hours trying to figure out what went wrong with my 1st r-xsr receiver until I saw you video, it's a freaking simple mistake lol. Thank you so much!

I feel like such an idiot. I took electricity in college and I only said "maybe the wire is on the wrong pin" after looking at the manual and realizing it said s.port , I ignored that fact and spend another hour trying to solve the problem that I already knew the answer to, anyway thanks, you helped me realize i should have gone with my first assumption

Thank-you for posting this.

Hi there!! I'm having issues to bind the receiver to my X9D+... don't know why but I am not able to make it work. I didn't realize about the position of the cable (thanks for that) but for binding the receiver the cable is not important, right?? I should be able to bind the receiver just powering it, right or wrong?

Thank you so much for this video!!! I spent 4+ hours trying to figure out why I'd didn't work. Bought a used quad with this receiver, and the guy told me he tested it, so I don't look to much into the wiring. And to my surprise, it was wrong. Again that for the amazing video.

Isai don’t know if I would say I’m an expert :P but honestly it’s not just Hawaii that has it bad with hobby stores mainland USA does too. The hobby stores I’ve all been in recently, on the east coast, and in mid America where I live now... suck! They don’t sell anything relevant to FPV, and it’s all Spektrum radios and receivers. I can’t go to these stores for anything except a simple cable or connector if I need it. Hobby stores will probably all be dead in another 10 years since they’ve failed to be more up to date and internet prices and stores are hard to compete with.

I hoped it would work finally after 6 hours of trying to bind it, but it didnt...New firmware for transmitter and receiver, changed the wiring as you mentioned, but still no positiv result. Do I need to wire the yellow wire differently to my FC, if I change the position as you mentioned in the video? The yellow wire is wired on to signal? And which firmware version should I use for Taranis QX7 with the same receiver as you showed in the video? Many thanks for your help!

Yes I've done it on my leader 120.. took ages to find the problem. It nearly flew out the window 😂👍

Thanks so so much!

Gavlar Fpv 78 No I haven’t. I want to take a look at the F port stuff which supposedly can transmit more telemetry over a single wire but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. With this setup you just get basic RSSI telemetry which is most important to me.

If I want to use FPort in the update I use the way it is and download the FPort firmware. Or do I need to do the SPort first followed by the Fport changing wires between flashing. I am glad I view your KZread and hope it work in INAV F4 controller

Thank a Lot. That tin make muy craizy.

I hope you can help im out of opitions,Im trying to setup r xsr, f405 wing in inav 2.5, i flashed recever with latest firmware, binds to radiomaster tx 16s no problem but in inav i get no stick inputs, i have 4th wire down green going to sbs on FC, power and ground same uart 2 ive tried 3rd wire down on recever yellow to rx and tx but still no inputs in inav. The radio shows good stick inputs in inputs,mixer and outputs and shows good signal from recever , I hope you can help. Thanks

I bought a BNF and flew it once. I ripped off the antennas to the r-sxr and now it won’t arm or show imputs in Betaflight. But it shows signal on On the R-axr and my Taranis.. what did I do to it?

When you do this do you still need to connect to uart? I'm using this reciever with a taranis qx7 but still can't seem to get the betaflight reciever tab to recognize inputs even after doing this and binding the controller to reciever

@JohnCuppi

Yes you need to connect to a uart with serial_rx switch enabled in the ports tab for that uart. Usually there will be pads assigned for sbus and those will be what you want to use.

Hi, how do you check UART's? I think i have everything correct but im getting no inputs from my receiver in betaflight

Hi buddy some I am having this problem I had it working and then I updated the firmware on my flight controller through beta flight now I'm not getting any inputs I will admit I am new so I don't really what I'm doing. Are you saying to change the wires on the firmware cable before you do the firmware it are you saying switch the wires going into flight controller? If I had it working before then maybe it's an issue of the firmware from the flight controller and the receiver not being compatable.. And also on the uart setting on beta flight how do I know which uart to click on?? Thanks for this video.

Saludos desde Ecuador excelente informacion

Dude any idea if it still doesnt work? I got mine to bind

Thank you !!

I'm stumped. I updated the rsxr firmware. I bound it to my radio before I installed it. I installed it in a Tinyhawk 2 that was getting CALIB flag using the onboard SPI receiver and it would fall out of the sky. So the Tinyhawk seemed to have more problems because the motors stopped spinning up, it began to only connect to Betaflight sometimes when I would plug it in, but I got light flashes when I would arm and in Betaflight the receiver was working. I took the RXSR off the Tinyhawk and just ordered a new FC for the TH. So I installed the RSXR in my first build. A Succex f4 V2.1 16x16 stack. I wired it as you showed here. I have it in the correct places on the FC, but when I plug a battery into the quad there are no lights on the RSXR. No lights, no movement in Betaflight in the receiver tab. I took the receiver off and plugged into a 5v 1.5a power supply and the lights light up as they should. Plug it back into the quad and nothing. I thought maybe I have a bad solder joint even though they look good. I desoldered the 3 wires and soldered them back to the FC and still no lights on the receiver. Also strange, plugging a battery into the quad will give me all the start up tones except for the last 2. If I have it plugged into the computer/Betaflight and then plug a battery in, I get all the tones. I can spin the motors up in Betaflight, but no receiver. Do you have any idea what this could be? I'm going nuts here. I've broken the flight controller on my Tinyhawk 2. I broke the frame and one motor on my Tinyhawk Freestyle 2. I have this beautiful 3 inch Tadpole with a nice stack, Xing 1404 4600kv motors, a beautiful day that is slipping away, and rain in the forecast for tomorrow. I even used the smoke stopper you recommended just to make sure I didn't blow anything up.

Hey John! Thanks for making this video. I saw on the documentation that the 5th wire (white) was SBUS_IN so I've plugged that one on the SBUS port of my FC and I'm having that same issue with Betaflight at the beginning of your video. When I look at your wiring, it seems that you've put the yellow cable on the 4th pin of the R-XSR, which is SBUS_OUT/CPPM. Am I seeing wrong? Shall I try to wire my cable to SBUS_OUT/CPPM instead of SBUS_IN?

@JohnCuppi

6 жыл бұрын

That’s correct! I moved the yellow wire to the 4th which is sbus_out or rather the sbus output signal that is intended to feed to the FC. The 5th wire is SBUS-in; which is intended to connect to the sbus_out of another RX. No worries though. Move the 5th wire to the 4th pin shown in this video and you should be good.
