I designed a junction board and had 20 of them made by JLCPCB for less than $5. It has 6 pairs of 3 pins which provide 2 connections for up to 6 channels. It measures 20.5mm x 18.5mm and connects to my receivers using one 3-pin lead (channel 1) and one 5-pin lead (the signal wires for channels 2-6. It allows me to place the receiver ahead of the battery and run only 8 wires under the battery tray instead of 18. The dual throttle connections allow me to power everything from a separate BEC, if desired. I made a prototype using perfboard and used it in a 70mm E-flite Viper..
Hello, a simple question about the TDMX... How many channels does it deliver via SBUS OUT at most...? 16 channels or 24 channels? Thanks you very much for your answer.
That depends on the sbus device you plug into it. All mine that i have used are only capable of 16ch but if the device you are hooking up to the receiver is capable of 24, it should work. I believe you have to change the sbus type in the receiver options to 24ch in order for it to work.
Great timing for your video as I'm researching the TDMx for a 3 channel wing set up(2 servos and a ESC) . What's the simplest way to go about doing this with a X20S radio?
Are you asking how to setup the mix? If so build a new model with 1 ail, 1 elevator, no rudder and no flaps. Take both elevator and aileron rates and make the weights 50٪. On the aileron mix, change the Chanel count to 2. Make output 2 ch2. On the elevator mix, change the Chanel count to 2. Make output 2 ch1. Reverse channels as needed. This is how I setup my Mirage 2000 which is a delta edf.
@@all_rc thanks for that. I was talking about wiring the TD Mx for 2 servos. Mine should be arriving in a few days, I think it'll all make sense once I have both the receiver and the TrasMaTech . I couldn't quite get the wiring set-up.
Just wire the Outputs from the tdmx to the top of the trasmatech board starting with ground, power (V) then ch1, ch2, ch3, ch4 . If you don't need sbus or s.port, you are done. You only need 2 servo connectors, not the 3 I used. Both the TD MX and the Trasmatech are clearly labeled. If you have any issues, feel free to email me at all.rc.air@gmail.com and I'll be happy to help
It would be perfectly safe. However, the reciever, although very thin is kinda fat. It might be a bit fat for your thin bodied dlg. I would check the dimensions of the receiver against the space allocated for your receiver. Also, i assume your dlg is carbon fiber so you would want the antennas outside the body. The receiver has 3 antennas. 2 traditional 2.4ghz antennas and one 900mhz antenna. The 900mhz is a bit bulky for a dlg, especially outside the body. Frsky does make stone very narrow receivers specifically for gliders. They aren't dual frequency like the TD-MX but they might be better suited for a dlg. I run the Frsky GR6 receiver in my dlg. Very small and lightweight with a built in vario. If you compete then i assume you don't can't have a vario but is nice to have when just flying the dlg for fun. It's only 2.4ghz but it works very well.
Yep. I mentioned that in the video. Tdr6 at the time of the video was just brand new. I was using that system before the tdr6 was out and only the tdr10 and the tdmx was available. I posted the video for those like me that had quite a few tdmx receivers. I was planning on using the tdmx for redundancy on my big planes but found that the tandem receivers were so solid I stopped using them that way.
You put out great information that is clear and concise have you tried messing around with any of the inav stuff that looks interesting as well
Not yet .. but yeah, I do want to play with that. If I do, I'll definitely put up a video

Would it be safe to use in my dlg glider?

Cool but why not just buy td r6?
Yep. I mentioned that in the video. Tdr6 at the time of the video was just brand new. I was using that system before the tdr6 was out and only the tdr10 and the tdmx was available.
