G+_Michael Rawson Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have a newbie question about quadcopters. I'm building a 250 kit and have got the Flysky FS-i6 2.4Ghz 6CH Transmitter & Receiver kit from here: http://www.radioc.co.uk/Flysky-FS-i6-2-4Ghz-6CH-Transmitter-Receiver-p/3510.htm. My problem is that I don't understand how to connect flight controller to the receiver as the pins (on the receiver) are only labelled with channel numbers 1-6, not "AIL" etc. I've scoured the manual and searched online but I'm just confused now! The flight controller is an Acro Naze. Any and all help appreciated. http://www.radioc.co.uk/Flysky-FS-i6-2-4Ghz-6CH-Transmitter-Receiver-p/3510.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve C Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Channel 1-6 on the receiver is the OUTPUT that you would connect to the servos in a plane. The RC receiver connects to the controller, if it's a fancy digital one, with just 1 cable if it has combined digital input. If the controller is a cheaper one that has 4 inputs for rudder, throttle, etc, then you have to pick 4 of the receiver outputs to connect to the 4 inputs on the controller and program them to do what you want. In the case of my Fr Sky Taranis, it's receiver has both 8 outputs for servos and 1 combined output that goes to the PX4 controller so I only need to connect 1 cable between the 2 and I can still use the 8 separate outputs for other things if I want.

G+_Michael Rawson Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks very much Steve. From what you've said I think it's probably programmable. I'll give it a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve C Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The first 4 outputs are probably already programmed to be throttle, rudder, etc. to match the RC transmitter's sticks, at least they were on my Taranis. If that's the case you may just need to connect something, such as a servo for testing, to see which ones work for the functions of the sticks. That should probably be documented somewhere in the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Wayne Black Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Would this help clear things up? There are a ton of YouTube videos on the Naze Acro. This fellow has some warning when first starting it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Wayne Black Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Another trick I've learned when doing searches. Type in Google something like "connecting the Acro Naze to the receiver". Now switch to "Images" and you'll find more info and stuff than clicking through a long list. Also a good way to find pin outs for various plugs.
