Thank you - we have a whole series called 'Introduction to Remote Control' for just that. Lots of new pilots coming into the hobby, especially for mutlicopter flying and we try and provide useful resources for those to get them up flying safely and as quickly as they can. Happy flying!
today is 8-28-2017 great video produced in 2015 this video will explain every question you have about basic receiver protocol a very well explained video still relevant
This and your other videos have been brilliant, saved me a fortune. Just coming back to RC after an 8 or 10 year break and am pleased to see that most of my kit, Spektrum DX8 and a handful of Orange 615X receivers, is still pretty current. All I really need to do is upgrade the FCs (Using some of your recommendations from another video) Plus, all clearly delivered with a perfect balance of detail and zero waffles. No name, no pack drill but some of the info videos can be 20 minutes long and almost devoid of intelligible information.
I picked up a racing FPV quad at a swapmeet this past weekend. I've only been a fixed-wing RCer so far, and am quite illiterate on non-PWM technology. This video was very informative and has helped me begin to crack the code for flying aircraft with flight controllers. Thanks!
THANK YOU for clearing up my issues and understanding what just happened after I purchased a "Radian" with AS3X which is great..but I have a Taranis X9 lite, so that had me thinking then and now realize these will not bind . I was bummed yet this was all due to me not understanding some of the new RC world. So either a Spectrum Transmitter so we can fly as is. OR take out AS3X and pop in a frsky, trying to get a frsky that might simulate the AS3X now, more to learn :)
If you are new to all this then check out my three videos that explain power, control and FPV systems for first timers - ruclips.net/video/xPDc6r6nRTU/видео.html
Once again, thank you for the time that you take to share such informative videos. I've been flying rc helicopters and planes for nearly 4 years and, thanks to this video, I now know the difference between PWM and PPM. I use all Spektrum gear, so the SBUS isn't very much use to me but the rest of the info was invaluable. Thanks very much!!!
+mountaindewdude76 if you didn't know, Spektrum finally have released a serial receiver. www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPMAR7700 Orange also have a DSMX Full Range RX with S.Bus output and it includes telemetry. www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=79338
Magical! Cristal clear, everythings from this tech vocable used about RC is now accessible to my hurt bain.... Hey, doc: you just killed the headache, THANK YOU !
This is a great video, very informative. I had to go back and re watch it again due to my current circumstance with my radio. I have one of those Orange Rx with satellite, works great actually.
well use a futaba 14sg, and i was being fed misleading information. i was told to use SBUS, and that it was the same as PPM, but i did not want to run the extra hardware for this to work. i was also told there was no such thing as FASST compatible RXs with PPM. but google says otherwise. i will go onto sharing your vid on my RC group to prove i was on the rite track. so thanks again. FYI your naz32 series helped me out heaps for my tricopter. (V3) am just researching now PIDs effect the craft. maybe that could be another vid you could do. what PID do what. i was using KK on my craft before Naz. finding it hard to translate settings.
Thx, very simple and great understandable information, very gratefull there are guys like you out there who can clearify Things like these, i'm a spektrum user so it's gonna be a easy setup next time:-)
I am new to this PPM, and S-Bus. Great entry-level introduction to the three methods of sending signals... So, as for the satellite receiver method... I can use just the satellite RX, plugged into the flight controller. No other receiver is required? This makes sense of what I did (following another tip) when I used a JETI duplex system to operate a DSM2 aircraft. I used what they call a "bridge box" with an "Orange DIY TX module, connected to the PPM output of the JETI RX. The JETI transmitter I use to control my DSM2 devices are now possible with this rig. In short, your video did an excellent job of explaining how PPM output sends all the different control channels to the DSM2 DIY module! Thanks!!
Yet another great video.... Thank you for this and indeed all the other videos you produce! I actually thought S-Bus and PPM were the same! Lol.... I'm fitting a MFD AutoPilot to my plane and now know I need a new receiver! I also need to update ALL of my receivers and my FrSky TX to the LBT firmware! I know that's gonna be a task!
This was very helpful in learning wich protocol to use with my flysky transmitter although i am using the ia6b receiver I keep losing signial and am thinking of upgrading to a better radio system have had three crashes on the FS-I6X system
Very informative video u made tht we can learn from. It really removed my doubt while I m going to to buy all drone parts , bt don't understand th wiring diagram from RX to FC. Thanks indeed for ths video . :-D
The Flip is a very close cousin of the Naze32 - I do have a series on the Naze32 that may help - ruclips.net/p/PLYsWjANuAm4p47OBBTOo4Xr3lNUc8PFpc Best of luck.
Also my quad is equipped with the naze32 rev6 flight controller. All of the electronics on the squad are built-in till one circuit board. So basically if one of the ESC's go bad all of them are bad because you cannot replace just one because it is built in
I'm fairly new to all this, been using naze32 rev6 w/FrSky X4R Receiver. if i'm not mistaken, PPM mode holds up to 8 channels, 4 of them for throttle, pitch, yaw, roll, leaving 4 left for things like Arm, Flight mode, Alt Hold. leaving only one channel left. SBus, on the other hand, allows up to 16 channels if i'm not mistaken. now i have channels open for readouts, GPS functions (i.e. position hold, return to home), switch to turn LED's ON or OFF. and more. I felt that this was not given a big enough + over PWM & PPM modes. Russ from Coral Springs, Fl, USA
Great explanation for the technologies. Thank you! But I tend to like the redundancy of PWM and individual cables especially for multirotor. if one would loose their yaw due to weak cable, as an example, one could still navigate their craft home on the remaining controls. If this was PPM, or any other one-wire option above, you'd loose all control and be screwed. I'm all about redundancy, especially if you have $1500 in the air, even if it means dealing with a few extra wires.
+Tommy Waldner failsafe detection on modern flight controllers is now very sophisticated. Using a PPM or other single wire connection means that if there is a problem, the flight controller can detect it and take appropriate action. Happy flying!
cheers mate, for your video on controller, i brought a F450 drone, never again buy a copy, the receiver is radiolink T8FB, R8EF, and the flight controller is a Thuner QQ, where i brought the drone for, did not have a clue, many thanks
Hi thanks for a timely lesson; I have just got back into this magic hobby and a steep learning curve; I am building a tricopter and chose the ET vector FC I have a Sperktrum DX6 and bought a SPMAR 7700 Rx which has a satellite; you say connect the satellite to the FC what about the main Rx does it also connect and howI have been flying fixed wing trainers on PWM all very enjoyable Thanks for your time Adrian
+Adrian J Vermeer Welcome back to the hobby. They satellite can be connected as an auxiliary set of antennas to the main radio receiver or connected directly to the flight control board (if supported) that makes the installation and wiring very easy. I would not use an R616XN from HobbyKing instead as the challenges with 5v vs. 3.3v are all avoided. Best of luck with the build..
At 4:42 I finally see how to connect single wire connectors to the RX. I watched your video on unboxing the ZOHD Orbit but you didn't show how to connect the stabilizer to the RX. The Orbit is the first of my 8 planes that has with single wire connectors.
First off, great video. In the video it is mentioned that some people do not prefer DSM technology. Why is this the case and if so, what are the alternatives? From what I can find it seems that DSM is easy to find transmitters and receivers for, while all the others seems to be specific to a certain company so you are locked into that brand.
Great video. I have a few questions, however. 1.) If I'm setting up a fixed wing aircraft for use with an OrangeRX TX10i 10-channel transmitter, how do I determine the right receiver to use (between SBUS and CPPM)? 2.) If I only anticipate needing, say, 6 channels initially for servos, etc., can I use a receiver that has 9-channels? The reason I ask is, I may want to add an FPV setup down the line and this would require the use of one or more additional channels. 3.) You referenced the "flight controller" in the video, but I wasn't sure if this was for multi-rotor aircraft. Unless I'm mistaken, a typical fixed wing setup goes from battery to ESC to receiver to outputs (servos). Am I wrong in thinking that there is no flight controller with this type of application? Sorry for so many questions. I hope they all make sense. Keep up the great work!
Great video. I am currently flying Naze32 with Spektrum Satellite. I have an SP3 board on the way and can not find the wiring information I need to do for the Spektrum Satellite only. I can use a receiver but like the satellite only on my Naze.
+Mark Haman I would guess UART3 and connect to the header pins but I would suggest you contact the guys who sold it to you for support.. Best of luck...
This was really helpful, what i want to be clear more on the sbus, when using using the sbus mode can you plug servos to the pwm channels on the receiver like the ppm?
Should have mentions that if you have a ppm system, and set all the channels to full, the sync pulse come indistinguishable = bad, unless you intentionally crate a delay
As soon as you told me I had a PWM transmitter from the Hitec Aurora 9x manual, I searched "Differences between PWM and SBus." ...and of course the first result that shows up is this video. Thanks again, Lee! (I'm sure this won't be the last time I say this). I now understand the physical differences of the various types, but I was wondering if you can shed light on what is better in terms of "speed", I guess? Because the signals in a PWM system have individual wires to talk along, would this make transmission time easier, thus faster than say a SBus system? ...or perhaps more stable?
+Michael “MiMo” Richard In real terms the difference in speed is imperceptible. The PPM frame is between 22.5 and 27milliseconds so it's all happening faster than pilot reaction times. In some flight controllers they then multiplex the PWM signals anyway so any faster transmission using 'parallel' signals is lost anyway. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you, happy flying!
Because of the existing NAZA-M V2 flight control I have changed the newly purchased FlySky i6X transmitter from I-BUS to S-BUS. Now I wonder how to connect the existing FS-IA10B receiver to the flight control.
thks for taking your own time for beginners like me !,,i`ve watch most of yours vids and you got me so hooked up that next summer i`m planning to built my own 800mm to 900mm size octocopter, i` ve bought most of the materials i need to build it ,3mm carbon fiber sheets, tubes ect. (but for electronics) i`m panning to buy a taranis x9d and with your advices ,,frsky x8r or trs8sb receiver,frsky gps v2, variometer sensor,telemetry ,fvp ,lights ect (well equipped) what would be the best match for me, sbus,ppm, or pwm thks for tour advice,,,,,
Very useful as always! I am swapping my sat rx for an R620X (poor signal on sat) .. the sat was connected via serial (as per your video on how to solder this into the naze board). Now I take it I will have to disable serial, enable ppm (CLI) but where does the servo lead connect to on the naze? Can I hook this to the either pin 6, 7 or 8 where my esc servo leads plug into (pins 1-4) ? Any free port on that should work, right? BEC supplies +5V on pin 5 already, so this should be as easy as that?
Bought mini 2, three months ago. Love it. Now want to return to flying fxd wing FPV. Not done so for 7 years. What happened to immersion plug and play?
With the majority of flight controllers now supporting S-bus (and the better ones including an S-bus inverter), have you moved towards S-bus as your preferred protocol for multi-rotor aircraft, instead of PPM?
Thanks very much for your very informative video. I should like to ask if I have an OrangeRx receiver on my plane, then it needs a separate power source ? For example a 4 AA batteries ?
Nice video Lee, Cleared it up for me. Do you know how you bind the Sat rx directly with out a main Rx. I understand you can do this with the Naze32. Have you done a video of this, Would be grateful for the info? Regards Garry
Garry Nutter No video from me but some others have done it. You need to bind the satellite receiver to the radio using a conventional receiver with the sat port on the side them unplug it from there and install it onto the Naze32. This is covered in the Naze32 manual pages. Best of luck with it!
@Painless360 Thanks for the video! Do you know if you can connect 35MHz receivers using PPM or SBUS? The MATEK F411 controller I’m interested in doesn’t seem to support PWM and I’d rather save the weight on the wiring!
Omg soooo helpful even though this is 9 years old now lol. Thank you soo much! Couldn’t find an explanation like this anywhere else!
This cleared up so much ambiguity around all of these protocols. Thank you for the clear walk through!!
Extreme useful even if just for understanding!! :D
Thanks for this. A lot of people forget that their are new people getting into the hobby and never go over the basics.

Can I hook this to the either pin 6, 7 or 8 where my esc servo leads plug into (pins 1-4) ? Any free port on that should work, right? BEC supplies +5V on pin 5 already, so this should be as easy as that?
+jerry486dx4 You'd connect it to where we show for a PPM connection.. Best of luck!
Bought mini 2, three months ago. Love it. Now want to return to flying fxd wing FPV. Not done so for 7 years. What happened to immersion plug and play?
Not seen them for years! Happy flying!
@@Painless360 Thanks for reply. Asked because I have some old gear which appears to respond when attached to a battery.
Nice. Thanks
Great job. Do you have an update for the newest Spektrum set up. And what is the solution to go from Spektrum to S-bus ??
Some Spektrum recievers offer SBUS out... best of luck
can you suggest what ones do ?
With the majority of flight controllers now supporting S-bus (and the better ones including an S-bus inverter), have you moved towards S-bus as your preferred protocol for multi-rotor aircraft, instead of PPM?
Usually yes, unless I need all the UARTS for peripherals (GPS, OSD etc) then I'll choose PPM. Happy flying!
Thanks very much for your very informative video.
I should like to ask if I have an OrangeRx receiver on my plane, then it needs a separate power source ?
For example a 4 AA batteries ?
Yes. Usually from a 5v BEC. See my Introduction to Remote control and RC basics playlists for more on how it all works.. Best of luck
Nice video Lee, Cleared it up for me. Do you know how you bind the Sat rx directly with out a main Rx. I understand you can do this with the Naze32. Have you done a video of this, Would be grateful for the info? Regards Garry
Garry Nutter No video from me but some others have done it. You need to bind the satellite receiver to the radio using a conventional receiver with the sat port on the side them unplug it from there and install it onto the Naze32. This is covered in the Naze32 manual pages. Best of luck with it!
@Painless360 Thanks for the video! Do you know if you can connect 35MHz receivers using PPM or SBUS? The MATEK F411 controller I’m interested in doesn’t seem to support PWM and I’d rather save the weight on the wiring!
I would think that would depend on the capabilities of the reciever. If it has sbus out then it should be fine... best of luck
