Great setup and test for failsafe working or not.. My ibus receiver worked like your example, my ppm receiver didn't.. I'll never use ppm again on any long range quad ...I always thought that the failsafe feature was solely dependent on the flight controller, not the receiver.... great to know....Ibus rules !
Nothing like a actual live test to ensure it actually, fer shure, works as expected. Better than seeing your quad disappear over the horizon and wondering why. Thanks for all your wonderful videos. You do a great job, kiddo. John
Hi Albert I have a Evo radio and love it. Looking for the smallest Rx and the FS-A8S fits the bill but did notice on HK "The FS-A8S is built for use in multi-rotor drones and is a 1-way receiver (no telemetry)"
Yeah,not sure how they could add telemetry into something that small so that should have been obvious. I dont know the cost of it. I bought a bunch of the micro lemon receivers a year or so ago. They work as well as expected too and the price made it worth buying them. Some guys really dont get that you are not going to fly FPV beyond what your viewer transmitter and receiver is capable of so really range means nothing unless you like wondering where your mini quad went after your goggles went blank. Nothing disappointing about that. You did a good job presenting this and honestly,what more could you expect.
At last a video that shows failsafe working on this receiver, I'm currently running PPM and had no luck so going to go over to sBus as per your instruction....thanks so much 👌🏼🚀😎
Thanks Albert, good advise on the manual and pressing the button for 2 seconds to change from iBus to sBus, all works fine however when I cut power and reconnect I have to always press the bind button for 2 seconds on the receiver for it to respond??
Hmmm, that's a new one I haven't seen before... you might want to completely reset the model and rebind in the correct output mode and see if that fixes it.
Thanks! I'm pretty much gonna stop using the Taranis for multirotors but keep it for my planes. The Evolution is just that good and for what I need it works great.
Looks great. I won't run it on carbon fibre quads though; it really needs dual diversity to be competitive with a LemonRX satellite. Carbon being a signal blocker and all...
I just ordered one... super excited You were Abel to I use ibus with no problems ? I thought I seen on other channels where they say you can only use ppm or sbus. Thanks
The (very old) Flysky FS-A6 RX behaves the same way: No binding confirmation, no telemetry, no RX based failsafe. Not a big problem IMHO as you always setup FC based failsafe anyways. Plus the standard telemetry from the FS-IA6B only show the stabilized 5V supply voltage .. so really not that useful. The FS-A6 doesn't do PPM though and is about 3 times the size :-)
8:36 with the music put a smile on my face. Nice touch, Albert. I'll have to look at the specs. I have iA6c on myx220. Now, I happen to have one of these A8s' lying around and with a Gt2 200 on the way i', not sure I should use it permanently. What flysky rx would you recommend on the gt2 200? I'm not interested in telemetry.
Hey Albert, is this plug and play on the GTR90. I just got my GTR today and the connector is 4 pin but only has the 3 wires. I assume white is the signal. I am running a Qx7 with a multi-protocol module. thanks very much, always watch your videos and have learned a lot!
hi guy these small receivers are they just for drones friends just bought one on bangood with transmitter for a plane .ive not come across this type before .iam old school receivers with 6 points to plug into servos throttle flaps etc
So I got a couple of these RX's to try and I am having latency that I didn't have before using the stock RX. I maybe missing something in my setup but wondered if you have flown the stock RX the Evolution comes with vs the micro RX? Just wondering if it's just me...Love your videos. I too ditched the Taranis for the Evolution, since I only fly Multirotors I love it!
cool quad i just got an irange ir6x tx 10ch from bg looks like it came with the same rx rebranded clone dirt cheap. nice tx you have i did want that one but still learning my i6 having too much junk already was going to upgrade the firmware my tgy-i6 but dont want to screw it up.after 2 1/2 months my eachine v-tail finally came after changing the settings in cleanflight via seby`s video it flys well enough.i definately want to install this very small rx in my mini tricopter so far have only set up pwm so must learn this ppm ibus sbus keeps the wires minimal.as always good informative video.still much to learn.will this be good install on tricopter with an atom cc3d fc?
Hey Albert, did you end up ever shortening up the antenna on the fs-a8s receiver? What is proper way to do this? I'm currently running this on my tiny whoop and would like to cut down weight, but I can't imagine its okay to just snip the existing antenna to make it shorter.
I have the turnigy evolution, and FS82. When I bind the blue light on the rx goes from fast flashing blue to slow flash, and when I back out of binding screen the receiver light goes solid blue. Turn everything off and on, the rx blue light responds to the transmitter being turned on, but there is no output on the drone. When it starts up it beeps to signify calibrating the throttle limit, but fails to find the other side of the limit, as if there's no signal being transmitted. Any ideas?
Hey Albert, is the fs-a8s compatible with 1s batteries? I saw that the required input voltage for the receiver was a minimum of 4v, I’m trying to build a custom 1s micro
great, i've been wanting to buy some of these but was worried about the failsafe, so it seems that the FC takes over failsafe duties? i've never used that option window to set failsafe before, i usually just select the drop option and set up my tx to failsafe...hopefully e can sort out the rssi... and on the cc3d too
The receiver does go into failsafe but I wanted to make sure it disarmed for sure so I set it up this way. It probably works the normal way as well but because of the strange binding I just wanted to be sure.
Hmmm tried to set this up on my tarot 130 it bound to flysky i6 no problem but wouldn't show in betaflight no matter which port I tried and all settings yet ppm on tiny irange was no issue
Hello, good video I have the same problem with the receiver I have the flysky i6s transmitter, you could give a little more detailed solution, greetings from Chicago
Binded mine fine but i cant get it to work on any protocol, PPM/ibus or Sbus none work... Its this un-inverted signal? Anything im missing? Thanks for the great reviews. This micro brushless quad is insane, i think i need one. :P
Albert Kim the i6X, the new Flysky Tx, the the stock receiver and the TGY-iA6C both work fine... :( I wanted to do a range test with the A8S, oh crap. :(
I wonder if you can help me? i got this receiver for my drone set it up and it worked fine But then one day a few flights later it now just has a huge delay in the throttle low throttle works fine then it is all or nothing like a switch. anyway it is super weird and dont know what to do besides get a new kind. what receiver would you recommend for the AFDHS 2A thanks!!!
Hi Albert. Thanks for your tips. Unfortunately I’m having a”bad Rx” showing on my osd warnings. And my brand new babyhawk r won’t arm. It shows the input when I move my sticks so I’m bound but something is not right in my set up. I’m kind of new at this and don’t have all the answers. I’m running this receiver and set it upon ibus. Need some help. I know it’s a simple fix. I’m just not able to get going :( Maybe I can record a vid and post it on my channel. You can see my screens on Betaflight. Will that be helpful?
First read this page and see if it helps you... after that you should have more information about why it won't arm. Without that information I don't know where to start to help - github.com/betaflight/betaflight/wiki/Arming-Sequence-&-Safety
Albert Kim thank you. Like I said before it’s saying “ Bad RX “ In the github there is an explanation Saying receiver recover from failsafe and to turn arm switch off. What does this mean for me to do. How do I do that ? Can you walk me through it ? Thank you. I also just posted a video on my channel showing my set up with Betaflight. It would be much appreciated if you can help me figure this out.
+craig jenkins most likely your output mode in the i6 doesn't match what's in Cleanflight. Also double check your connections to the flight controller and that the bind is true.
Every body makes video on binding prosses only.no body makes video on complete wiring connection of reciver and controller and escs.as you told in this video about binding only.can you make complete video how to wiring controler with escs also
Can this receiver be used without a flight controller? I have a skid type rover build with two ESC's and use mixing with a FS-i6 radio with a FS-iA6B receiver to run it. The two ESC servo leads plug into channel 1&2 of the iA6B receiver. Could this be accomplished using the FS-A8S? I see how it connects using a flight controller via IBUS but not sure how else it would work. I like the tiny size of it and would work better with my build.
So this is a super complicated question and difficult to answer here. You can switch the receiver into PPM mode and use a PPM to PWM converter to do what you want. I have a video on how I used one of those converters with a crossfire receiver but it's the same concept... you can watch the video here... ruclips.net/video/TLCRTKxsnck/видео.html

Hello, thx for your Video! I hope i can find some help here... sry for my english, i just want to ask you guys if its possible to connect an turnigy on/off switch receiver to this FS A8S receiver to control leds on the radio. i dont have any of these material but i am about to order everything to build my quad, thats why i am interested to know if that is possible. i dont see any channel pins on the FS A8S like on the FS i6B but maybe there are solder possibilities and i cant find any pictures on the internet. Tank you very much for your time! Happy Flying
damn I'm disgusted, anyway thank you very much for your quick answer it's really nice. you win a subscriber and a like ... good continuation and greetings from paris 😉
Hi, I have this receiver and I have interference problems. When I go to maximum gas I lose for 1 second the communication with my flysky i10. Have you had any problems of this type? I use motors t-motor f40 controller kiss, esc kiss, thank you.
Your PDB 5v regulator is probably too weak. In a low voltage situation like a big punchout, its not supplying 5v to the receiver. This is probably what is going on.
You probably don't have the correct protocol selected or you have the signal on the wrong UART. Double check your connections and make sure you are using the proper protocol.
Possibly. I would suggest shortening the antenna and getting rid of the connector and heatshrink. Basically, you gotta get the weight down as much as possible.
The setup will vary based on which FC you use. I believe there are already a lot of setup videos on this receiver. Try to find one where they use a similar FC to what you are using.
Does that transmitter work with the new 2A protocol? If it does, then it will work with this receiver. This receiver only does the 2A protocol and not the older one.
Hey man, nice vid. My receiver is bound up, but not showing anything in CF. Serial uart port is checked, and checked the rx Serial and I bus in the receiver tab. Using the eachine i6 and the diatonic naze3 Rev 6, any ideas?
+Aaron Williams Could be a lot of things. I dont have enough information to provide a diagnosis. I'd double check all your connections and make sure you didnt mix up TX and RX on the UART
Sorry, I don't have that radio, however, I suspect it should work just fine since the i6 is compatible with the 2A protocol that this receiver bind with.
Did you have to make changes in that transmitter to connect to the reciever, I also have the turnigy but have never really used it for anything other than simulator. I'm semi new to all this and I'm having troubles binding recievers to the jumper t lite. I've tried xm+ and radiolink r12dsm. And I'm pretty frustrated up to this point haha. I'm thinking about trying the flysky receiver with the turnigy or I also have the flysky fs-i6 I I got with another drone I bought years ago. Nice video and thanks for any info you can provide to me.
I did not put it on a 1S brushed. It was a 2S brushed. However, it was the same F3 board I run my 1S brushed on and it is powered by 5V on the UART. The board has a step-up/down regulator to provide 5v to the receiver.
My understanding is this is a "1-way" receiver only. The other receivers that have telemetry are "2-way" so this receiver is less capable. Probably had to do it to get it this small.
Thanks for the great videos! I really want to get that evolution controller but I want to use it for my tiny whoop too... I see that eachine is releasing a Flysky version of the beecore fc for the E010/tiny whoop... Any idea if the evolution might bind with that as well? Here's the link:m.banggood.com/Beecore-F3_EVO_Brushed-ACRO-Flight-Control-Board-DSM2-For-Inductrix-Tiny-Whoop-Eachine-E010-pnew-1089021.html
Albert Kim wow thanks for the quick response! Have you seen or heard of anything promising coming out for a tiny whoop sized quad you can control with the evolution Tx ? That controller just seems great to me...
FS-A8S has known brownout and signal drop issues! Tons of crashes. Version 2 has not fixed it. www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2792377-FS-A8S-help
Hi Albert! One question, I want to connect this receiver to f3 osd of other video ( ruclips.net/video/jG2l4gbnr_E/видео.html ) I want to connect for ibus...where I should connect the receiver in fc?? io2? io2c (uart2)?? This receiver works with 5v and f3 too wright??
Other thing...I want connect my fpv to the same flight controller. Them, I connect vin and vout to fc. But my camera and transmitter only have one ground. I conect the ground cable to fc ground or to pdb ground?? The osd information of flight controller is given for vin/vout pins directly to transmitter wright??
Albert Kim, Is there a Tiny Whoop that someone that has built that is compatible with the Turnigy Evolution? (Meaning the tiny whoop accepts the AFHDS 2A Protocol) Maybe someone has stepped up voltage to use this receiver?? Anyone mounted a Eachine AIOF3_Brushed flight controller/reciever to a tiny whoop? (Link Below) bit.ly/2i33sXE
I'm not aware of any. Also, that AIO board is much too large for a Tiny Whoop frame. Hopefully, they will come up with a V2 version of the BeeCore F3 that will work with the 2A protocol soon.
It's the native digital protocol that Flysky developed and not a copy of SBUS which is found in Futaba and Frysky. There is less jitter in the signal. I'll have a video later showing the differences.
Nice review. Not much of a range test but I guess you couldn't risk a failsafe beyond the park. I see why you love that little quad, it flies great!
Great setup and test for failsafe working or not.. My ibus receiver worked like your example, my ppm receiver didn't.. I'll never use ppm again on any long range quad ...I always thought that the failsafe feature was solely dependent on the flight controller, not the receiver.... great to know....Ibus rules !

Nothing like a actual live test to ensure it actually, fer shure, works as expected. Better than seeing your quad disappear over the horizon and wondering why. Thanks for all your wonderful videos. You do a great job, kiddo.

I might do a follow up video and will be sure to show this is working.
Thanks. You're a good egg (something my parents said, I think it means you're not rotten).
Hi Albert I have a Evo radio and love it. Looking for the smallest Rx and the FS-A8S fits the bill but did notice on HK "The FS-A8S is built for use in multi-rotor drones and is a 1-way receiver (no telemetry)"
Yes, it's one way but the only one this small. It's been working great for me. I have like 20 of these small receivers in various builds now.
Thanks. Now if they could just stuff telemetry in that little Rx it would be perfect!
I bet one will be out in the next 6 months
Voltage to run the a8s, good review.@@AlbertKimTV
Yeah,not sure how they could add telemetry into something that small so that should have been obvious. I dont know the cost of it. I bought a bunch of the micro lemon receivers a year or so ago.

+Jason Cross try and rebind and switch the mode on the receiver per the user manual
Do you know how to wire the sbus into a Airbot F4?
Thanks Albert, good advise on the manual and pressing the button for 2 seconds to change from iBus to sBus, all works fine however when I cut power and reconnect I have to always press the bind button for 2 seconds on the receiver for it to respond??
Hmmm, that's a new one I haven't seen before... you might want to completely reset the model and rebind in the correct output mode and see if that fixes it.
thanks for the help man. i was messing with this for about an hour trying to get it to bind and freaking out
Awesome video brother! been waiting for a small rx to work with the Evolution. like the videos man keep them coming!
Thanks! I'm pretty much gonna stop using the Taranis for multirotors but keep it for my planes. The Evolution is just that good and for what I need it works great.
Thank you so very very much, I thought that it's not binding... I almost gave up on it...!
Looks great. I won't run it on carbon fibre quads though; it really needs dual diversity to be competitive with a LemonRX satellite. Carbon being a signal blocker and all...
I just ordered one... super excited You were Abel to I use ibus with no problems ? I thought I seen on other channels where they say you can only use ppm or sbus. Thanks
+Freddy banuelos ibus no problem
Awesome video as always ? I should of pre ordered them saved a few bucks but will be getting 2-3
Thanks for sharing this micro rx. looks great👍
Can i use this receiver for the plug an play emax babyhawk r. Thank you
The (very old) Flysky FS-A6 RX behaves the same way: No binding confirmation, no telemetry, no RX based failsafe. Not a big problem IMHO as you always setup FC based failsafe anyways.

Have you tried the fsa8sv2 yet? I saw a range test between four flysky micro receivers and it did the best.
Hey Albert, is this plug and play on the GTR90. I just got my GTR today and the connector is 4 pin but only has the 3 wires. I assume white is the signal. I am running a Qx7 with a multi-protocol module. thanks very much, always watch your videos and have learned a lot!
No, it's not PNP. You need to use UART6 instead if you use IBUS. If you use SBUS, it might work, but I've never tried it.
hi guy these small receivers are they just for drones friends just bought one on bangood with transmitter for a plane .ive not come across this type before .iam old school receivers with 6 points to plug into servos throttle flaps etc
So I got a couple of these RX's to try and I am having latency that I didn't have before using the stock RX. I maybe missing something in my setup but wondered if you have flown the stock RX the Evolution comes with vs the micro RX? Just wondering if it's just me...Love your videos.

+BumpierDrake960 I'm not experiencing any latency. Are you using IBUS or PPM?
cool quad i just got an irange ir6x tx 10ch from bg looks like it came with the same rx rebranded clone dirt cheap. nice tx you have i did want that one but still learning my i6 having too much junk already was going to upgrade the firmware my tgy-i6 but dont want to screw it up.after 2 1/2 months my eachine v-tail finally came after changing the settings in cleanflight via seby`s video it flys well enough.i definately want to install this very small rx in my mini tricopter so far have only set up pwm so must learn this ppm ibus sbus keeps the wires minimal.as always good informative video.still much to learn.will this be good install on tricopter with an atom cc3d fc?
Haha.. Same thing happened to me. Didn't seem to bind , but it was. They should really have that in the instructions.
that tomoquad build looks amazing, bit expensive or me.
Hey Albert, did you end up ever shortening up the antenna on the fs-a8s receiver? What is proper way to do this? I'm currently running this on my tiny whoop and would like to cut down weight, but I can't imagine its okay to just snip the existing antenna to make it shorter.
You can watch my other video to see how to properly shorten it - ruclips.net/video/Eo-clc0Hdms/видео.html
Thanks!
I'm sold on the size!!..and I could care less about telemetry, but do you think it's got the range, of the fs-ia6b?
I think I will try a longer range test... need to find somewhere bigger to fly. Kinda hard where I live. Stay tuned!
The specs say 300 meters without any ground interference
For a device that small that is pretty impressive !!!!!!
I wouldn't push it much past 100m unless your in absolutely interference free environment with the antenna in a good location on the craft
I have the turnigy evolution, and FS82. When I bind the blue light on the rx goes from fast flashing blue to slow flash, and when I back out of binding screen the receiver light goes solid blue.

hey kim does it also bind with FlySky T6 radio transmitter??
thanks!!
+Adrian Antones I don't know
I bought 2! What would you say the range is compared to the fs ia6b receiver? Thanks a lot!
Thats a very nice micro quad you got there, any link to it?
Hey Albert, is the fs-a8s compatible with 1s batteries? I saw that the required input voltage for the receiver was a minimum of 4v, I’m trying to build a custom 1s micro

I'm new to this hobby, so it might be a dumb question but how do you know the compatibility between receiver and transmitter?
They have to be from the same brand. FrSky, FlySky, and Spektrum are the big ones in use right now.
Albert Kim ohhhh I see... thanks for the fast reply
Is there a way to permanently put this receiver in ibus mode so you don't have to push the bind button every time you turn it on?
Hmmm tried to set this up on my tarot 130 it bound to flysky i6 no problem but wouldn't show in betaflight no matter which port I tried and all settings yet ppm on tiny irange was no issue
Hello, good video I have the same problem with the receiver I have the flysky i6s transmitter, you could give a little more detailed solution, greetings from Chicago
Can you describe the problem you are having in more detail?
How far does the reception of the FS A8S? in approximate meters... Thanks!
About 200-300m in good conditions... 100m or less in bad conditions.
looks like a good receiver but is there anything that small with the voltage feedback ?
Nothing I'm aware of. Perhaps the next revision will include more features.
have you had any luck with voltage monitoring using the supplied receiver ?
Yes. See this video - ruclips.net/video/cMCV9PI7Vi0/видео.html
Binded mine fine but i cant get it to work on any protocol, PPM/ibus or Sbus none work... Its this un-inverted signal? Anything im missing? Thanks for the great reviews. This micro brushless quad is insane, i think i need one. :P
What transmitter are you binding it to?
Albert Kim the i6X, the new Flysky Tx, the the stock receiver and the TGY-iA6C both work fine... :(
I wanted to do a range test with the A8S, oh crap. :(
Would you recommend this if i’ll put it with a 5inch racer?
I wonder if you can help me?
i got this receiver for my drone set it up and it worked fine
But then one day a few flights later it now just has a huge delay in the throttle
low throttle works fine then it is all or nothing like a switch.
anyway it is super weird and dont know what to do besides get a new kind.
what receiver would you recommend for the AFDHS 2A thanks!!!
Are you sure it's the receiver? Have you tried another one to see if it behaves the same?
my old receiver broke and i replaced it with this new one and now throttle is like a switch
Hi I have fitted flysky I range x receivers to my micro quads but concerned they don't have failsafe would this board be a good alternative thanks
If you setup this FS-A8S receiver properly, failsafe does work on IBUS and SBUS. It doesn't work on PPM however.
What sort of lipo battery are you using will a 3.7v lipo work. I am trying to fix a 2ch glider that pcb died
This rx needs 5v
show how you bind it and set it all up I have 3 drones and can't figure out how to hook it all up plus have it on betaflight
Hello, how long can fly this micro Receiver?
will the turnigy evolution work with the kingkong 130 fly egg ? thanks.
please tell me why a range test of a 300m Rx was only tested to 100m ?
I would if I had a larger place to fly at.
Hi Albert. Thanks for your tips. Unfortunately I’m having a”bad Rx” showing on my osd warnings. And my brand new babyhawk r won’t arm.

In the github there is an explanation
Saying receiver recover from failsafe and to turn arm switch off.
What does this mean for me to do. How do I do that ?
Can you walk me through it ?
Thank you.
I also just posted a video on my channel showing my set up with Betaflight. It would be much appreciated if you can help me figure this out.
hi i can bind receiver but when in cleanflight receiver tab doesn't do anything . eachine i6 controller f3 flight controller not evo .help help please
+craig jenkins most likely your output mode in the i6 doesn't match what's in Cleanflight. Also double check your connections to the flight controller and that the bind is true.
My one doesn’t always disarm on the evolution, if there is a bit of throttle or on its side, any clue?
check your receiver channel extents in Betaflight
Every body makes video on binding prosses only.no body makes video on complete wiring connection of reciver and controller and escs.as you told in this video about binding only.can you make complete video how to wiring controler with escs also
Friend sepude put a racing dron x220mm?
Will this work on a 1s battery? Planning to put it in a micro quad.

Please test maximum range on ground. Swap antenna to coaxial dipole and test it again.
What's a coaxial dipole and where would I get one?

I got receiver plugged in on sbus spek side of flight controller ppm on other side but eachine controller do not have ppm mode 😕
I cannot bind this to my Taranis , would the iRangeX 4 in 1 help this problem ?
Yes, you'll need the multiprotocol module to bind to flysky. Get the newer version of the 4-in-1 with the USB port. If you can't find it let me know.
Yes I have the new version with USB port and yellow PPM dial..
Hello, thx for your Video! I hope i can find some help here... sry for my english, i just want to ask you guys if its possible to connect an turnigy on/off switch receiver to this FS A8S receiver to control leds on the radio. i dont have any of these material but i am about to order everything to build my quad, thats why i am interested to know if that is possible. i dont see any channel pins on the FS A8S like on the FS i6B but maybe there are solder possibilities and i cant find any pictures on the internet. Tank you very much for your time! Happy Flying
Hi Albert, is it possible to get the RSSI values to the betaflight OSD with this receiver...?
+Avi Harazi no... There's no telemetry coming back from the receiver with this one.
Albert Kim Thx! But😔...
is there any other flysky micro receiver that can?
+Avi Harazi none in the micro class.
Just out of curiosity what is the purpose of the side terminal of a8s
Its PPM
you can bind it with the fly sky fs-t6?
What IS that cable called That you can Plug inbetween the resiever and the FC??? (With the two pinns)
Not sure, but it came with the receiver and if you have the receiver, you should have it.
Thanks man, I had the same issue
Can I use it for a 220mm racing dron? regards
Yes, I have on the Diatone GT200
Albert Kim, how far you can fly with this reciver?
Hi i have a wizard x220hv with this receiver and i haven't the telemetry battery voltage of my quad on the screen do u know why? Thanks for help
This receiver doesn't send telemetry back
damn I'm disgusted, anyway thank you very much for your quick answer it's really nice. you win a subscriber and a like ... good continuation and greetings from paris 😉
This flysky receiver will send telemetry back but it's a bit unclear on how to utilize the data - ruclips.net/video/1QV_Wo0S_BU/видео.html
Ok Thanks i'll check this video, i know it's so important cauz i can see it on osd, but i found it strange not seeing it on my receiver...
Hi, I have this receiver and I have interference problems. When I go to maximum gas I lose for 1 second the communication with my flysky i10. Have you had any problems of this type? I use motors t-motor f40 controller kiss, esc kiss, thank you.
Your PDB 5v regulator is probably too weak. In a low voltage situation like a big punchout, its not supplying 5v to the receiver. This is probably what is going on.
Albert Kim Ok I will try to change pdb I use matek v3 and recently I have acquired the new version with osd thanks for your help. Like
is it good with a 210 quad?
thanks that was very helpful 👍
Will this work with a fly sky i6s
I can't seem to get mine to turn on, it's bound but in cleanflight it doesn't recognize my transmitter
You probably don't have the correct protocol selected or you have the signal on the wrong UART. Double check your connections and make sure you are using the proper protocol.
Albert Kim OK
Albert Kim do I need to connect the yellow wire from the RX to the FC
How far away does this receiver have? Thank you
about 300m
Will this work work with taranis x 9d plus?
+Russell Kegler no
how about the failsafe 0n that rx sir?
+Joli Nychill De Pedro it works in ibus and sbus modes
Albert Kim thank you for that very informative review.☺
Would this be ok on a tiny whoop or even a qx95
Possibly. I would suggest shortening the antenna and getting rid of the connector and heatshrink. Basically, you gotta get the weight down as much as possible.
Albert, Will this work with a flysky fs-t6 ?
I don't know. Does that radio speak the 2nd gen 2A protocol? That's that this receiver is compatible with. It's not compatible with 1st gen.
do you have a video of how to set up this reciever on a drone on beta flight
The setup will vary based on which FC you use. I believe there are already a lot of setup videos on this receiver. Try to find one where they use a similar FC to what you are using.
Im new to building drones and Im not quite sure what "FC" stands for dose it mean like sbus and ibus and ppm
FC means flight controller
i have the spracing f3
This micro receiver work with FS-T6 Transmitter ?¿
Does that transmitter work with the new 2A protocol? If it does, then it will work with this receiver. This receiver only does the 2A protocol and not the older one.
Ok, many thanks Albert.
I'm afraid the protocol is different, it's a real pity.
Hey man, nice vid. My receiver is bound up, but not showing anything in CF. Serial uart port is checked, and checked the rx Serial and I bus in the receiver tab. Using the eachine i6 and the diatonic naze3 Rev 6, any ideas?
+Aaron Williams Could be a lot of things. I dont have enough information to provide a diagnosis. I'd double check all your connections and make sure you didnt mix up TX and RX on the UART
Albert Kim it should be in the urx right?
Did you put your a8s in the youbi? As trying to put it in a different quad but now I'm gona try to put it in the youbi
+Aaron Williams yes its in the youbi
Oh OK nice, did you use the provided sbus connection wire harness provided to set it up ibus?
How far is that receiver?
300m range
what is that battery pack you are using to power the flight controller ?
It's 4 AA NiMH batteries
ah nice, so 6v is close enough to 5 that it works ?
rechargeable AA have a slightly lower voltage so mine is just about perfect at 5v.
Do you know if this thing will work with my FlySky FS-I6?
Sorry, I don't have that radio, however, I suspect it should work just fine since the i6 is compatible with the 2A protocol that this receiver bind with.
john1945xxxxxx Yes it will
I just ordered 2 of them.
Did you have to make changes in that transmitter to connect to the reciever, I also have the turnigy but have never really used it for anything other than simulator. I'm semi new to all this and I'm having troubles binding recievers to the jumper t lite. I've tried xm+ and radiolink r12dsm. And I'm pretty frustrated up to this point haha. I'm thinking about trying the flysky receiver with the turnigy or I also have the flysky fs-i6 I I got with another drone I bought years ago. Nice video and thanks for any info you can provide to me.
Your issue is really strange. Sounds like you need to update firmware on your transmitter but that's just a guess.
@@AlbertKimTV maybe I will try that, thanks
Mr. Albert can it go on a brushed flight controller
An if so can you do a video on it. Love your channel man
Yes, and I put it on a 2S brushed quad. The Coretex Tiny 115. Build video will be out on Monday.
Just to confirm it worked on 1S fine?
I did not put it on a 1S brushed. It was a 2S brushed. However, it was the same F3 board I run my 1S brushed on and it is powered by 5V on the UART. The board has a step-up/down regulator to provide 5v to the receiver.
Thanks man, when I bought radio didn't know it didn't work with older protocol
I am building a 5 inch quad and cant fit a normal receiver, how do you think this will perform compared to a full size receiver with dual antennas?
+Tim langley it has less range and if your antenna placement is poor you can get failsafes.
I went ahead and bought one, I think I will look for a longer antenna that might help a little bit.
Using IBUS...I will try again.
heloww, this working when 1s lipo ?
no. needs 5v
Great Video!! :D
soo small 👍🔥
No telemetry as there is only 1 antenna. 1 to receive and the other to send... That's how I understand it.
My understanding is this is a "1-way" receiver only. The other receivers that have telemetry are "2-way" so this receiver is less capable. Probably had to do it to get it this small.
Exactly :-)
Looks like Thousand Oaks
Thanks for the great videos! I really want to get that evolution controller but I want to use it for my tiny whoop too... I see that eachine is releasing a Flysky version of the beecore fc for the E010/tiny whoop... Any idea if the evolution might bind with that as well? Here's the link:m.banggood.com/Beecore-F3_EVO_Brushed-ACRO-Flight-Control-Board-DSM2-For-Inductrix-Tiny-Whoop-Eachine-E010-pnew-1089021.html
+Jeremy Wilson That one doesnt work with the Evolution unfortunately
Albert Kim wow thanks for the quick response! Have you seen or heard of anything promising coming out for a tiny whoop sized quad you can control with the evolution Tx ? That controller just seems great to me...
+Jeremy Wilson I will be doing a conversion of the Furibee F90 soon. Videos coming soon.
FS-A8S has known brownout and signal drop issues! Tons of crashes. Version 2 has not fixed it.

Hi Albert! One question, I want to connect this receiver to f3 osd of other video ( ruclips.net/video/jG2l4gbnr_E/видео.html ) I want to connect for ibus...where I should connect the receiver in fc?? io2? io2c (uart2)?? This receiver works with 5v and f3 too wright??
Use IO_2, serial-RX CH3 pin and 5V. Yes, it will work. Also, I believe that UART is UART3, not 2.
thank you so much!
Other thing...I want connect my fpv to the same flight controller. Them, I connect vin and vout to fc. But my camera and transmitter only have one ground. I conect the ground cable to fc ground or to pdb ground?? The osd information of flight controller is given for vin/vout pins directly to transmitter wright??
ground is the same everywhere. Just pick something on the FC, it should be fine. VIN is from the camera, and VOUT goes to the VTX.
Thank you so much!!! Follower and fan forever ;)
Albert Kim, Is there a Tiny Whoop that someone that has built that is compatible with the Turnigy Evolution? (Meaning the tiny whoop accepts the AFHDS 2A Protocol) Maybe someone has stepped up voltage to use this receiver?? Anyone mounted a Eachine AIOF3_Brushed flight controller/reciever to a tiny whoop? (Link Below)
bit.ly/2i33sXE
I'm not aware of any. Also, that AIO board is much too large for a Tiny Whoop frame. Hopefully, they will come up with a V2 version of the BeeCore F3 that will work with the 2A protocol soon.
s bus. work
Erik Haugland Yes
thanks :-)
Yes, but I recommend you use IBUS instead. It works better than SBUS on the Flysky setup.
How is iBUS better?
It's the native digital protocol that Flysky developed and not a copy of SBUS which is found in Futaba and Frysky. There is less jitter in the signal. I'll have a video later showing the differences.
No telemetry :( or diversity
True on both, but I think it works great and does what I need. Telemetry is nice but not required for my purposes.
I bought 2! What would you say the range is compared to the fs ia6b receiver? Thanks a lot!
about 300m. I flew it in this video - ruclips.net/video/wN7WcVctMx4/видео.html
Hi. The signal output on the station as it is set for SBUS ?. Thank you
Can i use this receiver for Flysky Ct6b transmitter . Thanks
Will this work on the flysky i6s
+joel ben yes
thank you
