An other great thanks to you, i have decide to build an RCVR-1 (quite finished) and choosed the FS iA6B to control this simulator associated with my TX16s. Ignorant about FlySky FS-iA6B , your video illuminates my thoughts :-) Since I decided to buy and use the TX16s in nov 22 i have discovered a large new world, extremely interesting. Your channel is so instructive. A i have ordered one of your sweat shirts i will think about you on field . With regards & thanks from France - Besides thanks to all others who comment your videos, so rich in information ...
I'm certainly glad you found the channel and more importantly, the information within is useful to you. Merci d'avoir laissé un commentaire et de soutenir la chaîne avec votre achat. Bonne chance avec votre nouveau modèle.
Just wanted to say that this also works with a Radiomaster Zorro transmitter, steps are very much the same but there is zero information about that on the internet except your video. So to anyone googling, that's how you do it, and here are a bunch of keywords to direct you to this comment: FS-IA6B receiver Radiomaster Zorro transmitter bind
I use flysky RX all the time. The PWM/PPM selection tells the receiver what to output on the main channels, use PWM for servos. If you want PPM for stabilizer or flight controller then select that option (PPM output is in CH1). The SBUS/IBUS setting tells the receiver what to output on the IBUS Servo port on the top (labelled in green). IBUS and SBUS are basically the same but inverted logic - again useful for flight controllers or stabilizers. Flysky also have a IBUS sensor inputs, you can daisychain standard flysky sensors (voltage, temp, rpm, altitude) but the best thing about opentx is it supports way more custom sensor data via the flysky protocol so flight controllers will report the full gps, current, attitude stuff too.
Charles, Thanks for clarifying. I'm familiar with PWM, PPM, SBUS (and I understand IBUS is FlySky's version of SBUS that doesn't require inversion on flight controllers). I thought it was odd though that using other combinations resulted in telemetry dropouts and jerky servo movement. Since I'm not using sbus/ibus/ppm it worked out. I may do a little more testing and reading to find out if there's something else at play because the Rx side protocol shouldn't cause telemetry issues.
The flysky receiver ia6b is great and I'm using it with the voltage sensor which is very useful in order to maximize the flight time the only issue that i have that im getting all the time messages about telemetry lost .. any idea what can be the issue ?
I have seen similar if I power up really close to the TX. Normally a power cycle on receiver and transmitter after moving them apart sort it for me. Never had any issues in the air
I had the wrong radio. Exchanged it for Jumper T18 lite and all was well. Had to change radio from Mode 2 to Mode 1. Not as hard and scary as I thought it might be. Took longer to disassemble and reassemble than to do actual conversion. Had to use PWM IBus for binding and to hold telemetry. All working OK except no voice for Throttle Safety and Aileron and Elevator dual rates. Flaps also a bit weird. Added some other voice commands from another radio but even though I can play them from menu in Sys. mode, they do not appear in listing in SF page. Your video was a great starting point. Also, I prefer setting up my radios on the radio and not using Companion.
Yeah, it's pretty easy to change from mode 1 to mode 2 on these. You can either swap the gimbals completely or move/replace the pin and spring. Glad you got it worked out. Try to spend some time learning companion. Once you get the hang of it, you'll never look back.
Thanks, RCVR.... Very helpful video like all you do. I'm guessing that these ia6B units were so inexpensive because there was a hardware change around then. Looks like current models can now use 4-8.4v power (2s lipo) unlike the older ones which were 4-6.5v. For fixed wing this allows 20-30% more servo torque at nearly no expense. Wish it was clear if this is actually hardware or just labeling and spec sheet. All that said, these are nice little receivers at very fair prices.
I was at the field today and on the free shelf, someone left a plane with an Orange Rx + Stab. Couldn't believe it--I grabbed it. So now I have this FlySky, the Orange+Stab, and the Lemon from Altitude on the way. All of these choices are a win win with the TX16s.
@@RCVideoReviews Haha, fair response. I guess I could just count on winning giveaways on your channel but I'm gonna guess that's not a sustainable long-term model. Thanks again BTW 🙂
I just picked up a few more of these and I'm starting to use their voltage sensor too. I flew with an IA6B over the weekend and it performed quite well.
@@Cute_Lovley_Kind_Garden_Pets oh my problem i just make mistake, my version is Tx16S se , its just can binding to frsky, so i just add a JP4in1 to my remote and doing update
Wow this is great, I'm thinking I can grab an FS-iA6B and get battery voltage telemetry from it with my TX16s as at 2:26 of your video A1 voltage. Am I correct? or will I also need a Flysky FS-CVT01 Voltage Collection Module? Cheers love your videos, they have helped me get back into RC helis in my retirement.
Hello, I have the Radiomaster tx16s max pro version 2.7...I'm doing exactly what you are doing with the same receiver. My issue is that while the bind is successful, once the TX is shut off and I go to power up my plane to fly, the bind is lost. Powering off the Rx and powering the Rx back on, the bind remains. The bind is always lost after powering off the TX and then powering the TX back on. I've used the 0 and different receiver numbers (even used 51 as you did) and still the bind disappears when TX is shut down. I only have 1 model entered into the radio so what's happening? Can you help? Thank you
@@RCVideoReviews thank you sir, your videos are super helpful... I didn't found, videos about costum splash screen, custom background and costum sounds in your videos, if possible please also do cover that... I would highly request and recommend to use windows paint option or some other simple and user friendly software for resizing images.. Best Regards.
Hi, thanks for showing nice way to binding to FS-iA6B Rx, but i've question will it working the same if using TX16SE? we know that there are other variant for Radiomaster TX16 ( TX16S and cheaper one TX16S SE) thank you
is that the ELRS version TX16S or 4 in 1? I don't seem to be seeing the same information on my TX and it refuses to bind to my Flysky FS2A receiver. What am I doing wrong (I have the ELRS transmitter)
I don't know if it can bind to that one. Here is the supported protocol list for the MPM: github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md If your Rx uses a protocol on that list, the TX16s will bind with it.
Thanks for this information i kept trying to bind to my FS-A8S and it would not work. But i have a few x6bs laying around so I will use that one instead!
I successfully bound that rx to my tx, but after I power down then power up my tx I get a warning that says no fail safe set. Has this happened to you at all?
@@RCVideoReviews You sure about that, John? I've got an FS-iA10B here and that's just the 10ch version of the old FS-iA6B that you've got there. The iA10 was just the straight PWM version of the iA10B with no serial outputs.
vary good video. i programmed 1 of 5 drones thank you. too bad my tbs crossfire module is faulty im waiting on getfpv to respond and replace i just got it yesterday
Nice video! 2hat about the flysky module? How radiomaster show the information? Flysky has the voltage module, altitude module, rpm, etc .. can you show and example?
If the modules report telemetry through the Rx, it's very simple to just "discover new sensors" on the TX16s telemetry screen and the data will autopopulate.
Howdy great video i followed your step by step instructions binds right up problem i am having is when i unplug flight controller battery i get audio alert saying lost telemetry and when i plug battery back in it says recovered telemetry but stays bound. then when i unplug helicopter battery and turn transmitter off and restart transmitter and plug heli battery in its not bound anymore so i have to rebind. now this receiver was bound to a flysky transmitter before you got any ideas what could be wrong Thanks Don Johnson
I think I found the answer to your problem. It also explains why I never saw an issue. I only ever had one AFHDS2A RX bound to my radio at a time: You must use a different Receiver Number for each different AFHDS 2A receiver you bind. Re-using numbers will remove the binding for the previous receiver.
Some guide , Before binding my receiver found this , Module update recommended?? What's that's mean . Also can bind turnigy 9x8c V2 receiver and HK TRGA V2 RECEIVER ?? If try bind so what protocol ?
Also pls guide that , turnigy 9x 8c v2 receiver and hobby king , HKTR6A V2 , work can bind with radio master 16 ? i have 12 receiver in stock of these ,
You need to find out what protocol your RXs use and see if you can find them on this list: github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md
@@RCVideoReviews thanks for your kind reply. I am not expert about protocol. Can u help me these work with radio master TX 16? Which protocol work ,if work can u make video?
Flysky iA6B has a pretty loyal following and you can't beat their price. Definitely simple too, but best is another question. Do you want telemetry? Range? Or are you just flying basic planes line of sight?
Technically yes, but it's not the "bind with anything" module. That is a 4in1. The cc2500 can bind with a small handful of protocols, so technically is it ""Multi"" protocol, but go for the 4in1.
I first would like to thank you for all the great video!!!! I have just purchase a TX16 the your video have been very helpful. Would you know if the TX16 will bind to a Tactic receiver, Modulation:SLT 2.4GHz FHSS
Hey Bruce, Glad the videos are helpful for you. It does support Kyosho FHSS but it doesn't specify Tactic. If you have Tactic receivers you could try binding under Kyosho but I don't think it'll work. Here is the MPM module protocol list: github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md
Hi I have a question. I have a Flysky receiver. Under name of Aerosky badge. Anyway's receiver is a FS-R6B and it is not the AFHDS 2A but AFHDS. Does module don't support Fly Sky Afhds? I'm having issue binding :(.
Hi 😊👋 Thanks for this video! I have RadioMaster TX16S with hall sensor gimbals, multiprotocol. Can tx16s bind with Flysky x6b receiver? I tried to bind but unsuccessfully.. Thanks again
Here is the protocol list: github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md If the Rx is on that list, it should bind.
Hey John, thanks for the video. When I connect one of my analog servos (Corona CS238MG) to the fs-ia6 receiver it didn't work well and it affects all other servos. Then all servos stop working after a few seconds. Is it possible to connect these analog servos with another protocol other than SBUS to work properly? Or would you recommend a solid receiver for the tx16s to run these servos properly? Cheers.
That sounds more like a servo problem or power problem than an RX problem. The RX only passes BEC power through to servos, it doesn't generate power. The only thing coming from the RX is signal. I would do two things: 1) Make sure you have sufficient power and amperage connected to the Rx. 2) Test each servo individually. Based on what you described, I doubt it's an Rx problem.
Many thanks for the quick reply. Thats what i was going to buy but i was told this will only give me on screen height and not give me an audible rising and decending tone! Can you verify this for me please. Cheers
Great video. Received my Radiomaster today but cannot seem to access the FlySky 2A protocol. I just get FlySky only. How do I change to the 2A protocol? Your video shows your t/x already on FlySky 2A.
I just looked on my radio and confirmed FlySky2A shows up immediately after FlySky. I did nothing special to gain access to that protocol. Just enabled internal RF module and scrolled right to it. You may need to check your MPM firmware version and maybe even flash a new one. It should be there out of the box though.
@@RCVideoReviews Multi is on and FlySky shows up to the right. Click on FlySky which now blinks, rotate scroller and then Corona shows up, keep scrolling and get various other radios but no FlySky2A. A bit disappointing as I only bought this radio to get access to FlySky 2A so I could use voice commands for sensors.
thanks for the video- really helpful ....errmm silly question, but when you mentioned "pick a reciever no in your case 51"- can this be any generic number or is it specific to each reciever - ? if so how do i find this info.. also any heads up on how i shoud correctly plug KOPILOT into this reciever .. for a standard T trainer .. really struggling with setting it up with this reciever .. getting into a pickle as to which KOPILOT cables should go into it what set of receiver pins and which port- thanks and apologies for the many questions !!
If you use a number other than 00 when you bind, the radio will have to have that model loaded to command the receiver. If you use 00 as the Rx number, then any model that was bound with 00 as the Rx number will be able to send commands to the Rx. You use any Rx number you want. Rx numbers are shown in Companion so you can use that to keep them straight.
@@RCVideoReviews thanks , that’s great ... My main hurdle is how to connect this specific receiver to kopilot ... it’s more where and which cables from Kopilot to the receiver ... not sure if I should be connecting to to ibus pin on the top or ch 5 pins or the ppm pins ? Any heads up please ? The rest I think I am confident about Thanks
@@Jay-gf7mg I haven't tried ibus with Kopilot, but none of this is that hard. Red to Positive, Black to Negative, Signal to Signal. Should be the top right horizontal slot.
Is it possible to get the telemetry data from the voltage meter module for this rx? Btw these receivers have MASSIVE range with the kind of antennas they use
A1 comes in with Rx voltage. Based on what I saw via discover sensors @ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zKN2w-_zkH8.html I'm going to say I don't think so.
@@RCVideoReviews I just received one of those remotes and I use the same transmitter in my RC racing Sailing boat. DF95 looking forward to binding and using
have you tried to turn off the TX with the RX still on? In my case it just loses the bind. If i turn on the RX before the TXm also the bind is gone. do you have it too?
I haven't specifically tried any of those combos, but I normally power of the rx before tx, and the last time I checked, I still had a bind. You really shouldn't lose bind no matter which one gets turned off first.
Hi, Guys, I have a problem with this receivers: I can bind, but some days later the bind is lost and I need repeat the process. Someone have that same problem and know how fix it?
Give each receiver a different number (in the set-up) before you bind it. If you don't the transmitter will only remember the last Flysky receiver it was bound to and drop the bind to all previous ones. Same thing for any other protocols where the option is available in the Model Set-up.
Will this bind directly to the flysky rx or do I have to upgrade or do something to the tx ,I'm kinda new to radiomaster and I want to buy this one next month
hi, first time i made fpv drone (radiomaster tx16s) i paired it with fs-ia6b but the motors are not moving, why do you think? everything looks normal in betaflight.
If you're getting Rx movement in Betaflight and your motors aren't turning you have something wrong in Betaflight or the motor wiring. If BF sees Rx movement the problem isn't with the Rx. If BF does not see Rx movement you have to get that working.
@@RCVideoReviews thank you friend, i found the problem. I did not activate the key required for the motors to start and therefore the motors did not start
The MPM didn't change in the MK2--same device. So yes, the *supported* FlySky protocols on the existing MPM will work in a Mk2 TX16s. Be aware, not all FlySky is supported by the MPM.
Hello everyone. I am trying to control some led lights that turn on with one of the switches of the Tx16s but I can't get them to turn on with all their intensity. I control them but they are rarely seen. If I connect them directly to 5v they turn on with their full intensity. Does anyone know how to turn them on with one of the switches on the remote? I am using the same receiver as the one in the video the FS IA6b, Thanks
The 5v rail should supply 5v regardless of the switch position, so I don't think you have a power problem. The switch changes pulsewidth on the signal line, not voltage on the voltage rail. You may need to find out if the led controller has a specific pulsewidth it needs to see and set that up in the radio.
Hello sir..im using tx16s and usually my rx is radiomaster r168...but currently really hard to get r168 even directly from china My question is, is this particullar flysky rx works well with tx16s in term of connection?i fly edf jet 80mm fly usually around 200m. A bit worry about lossing the connection. Please advise
I would suggest buying one and range testing it. I've flown mine around the park and it does fine. I haven't measured range so I can't give you an honest answer.
For a practical demonstration of what this receiver is capable of (in low interference conditions - no 2.4ghz receiver does very well in an area overloaded with wifi hash no matter how much it costs!) look up the test video done on the West Coast of New Zealand by iforce2d. Pushed it out to about 11km off the coast!!! Don't let the Spektrum/Futaba snobs tell you that they are no good! 🙄
Can i use more than one reciever (FS-iA6B) for more plane, with this remote (tx16s) without re binding when change Plane..? Because for me, everytime i change planes (all planes use FS-iA6B receivers) i must re binding.. if not it wont work.. is there anything wrong with my binding process..? please advice me.. Thanks
You shouldn't have to re-bind receivers. I never do. I have 40+ craft with all kinds of different RX's from different makers using different protocols and I never have to rebind any of them.
@@zayyandzikraka3833 Need help. I manage to bind the flysky i6 on the radiomaster, but when I select another model aircraft, when I return, the bind is lost. I need to rebind every time I fly. Any solution for the problem? thanks!
Binding is specific to RF comms with the RX. There is no option to specify s.bus vs pwm for output in the bind process. So yes, s.bus should work just fine.
@@RCVideoReviews Yep. You should select PWM/S-Bus when binding to the iA6B receiver. Otherwise the receiver will put out i-Bus on the Serial Pins NOT S-bus. Thus you cannot use the Flysky FS-i6 transmitter with the iA6B receiver if you need it to output S-bus because the FS-i6 CANNOT be set transmit S-bus. But the i6X can.
Not sure. There are three options. Try all three to see if one of them works: Flysky 1 Flysky V9x9 V6x6 V912 CX20 A7105 Flysky AFHDS2A 28 PWM_IBUS PPM_IBUS PWM_SBUS PPM_SBUS PWM_IBUS16 PPM_IBUS16 A7105 Flysky AFHDS2A RX 56 RX
Check out the protocol page: github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md That Rx is supposedly AFHDS2A and that is listed on the protocol page. Flysky AFHDS2A 28 PWM_IBUS PPM_IBUS PWM_SBUS PPM_SBUS PWM_IBUS16 PPM_IBUS16 A7105 Flysky AFHDS2A RX 56 RX
Ciao!! Sono nuovo nel modellismo. Ti scrivo perché ho una radiomaster pocket cc2500. Vorrei abbinarla alla mia ricevente integrata su fly controller crazy bee f4. Però non trovo il protocollo? Sai aiutarmi? Grazie in anticipo! Un saluto dall'Italia! ❤
It says on this page: www.tinywhoop.com/products/crazybee-f4-lite-1s-flight-controller-fc-esc-rx-vtx-frsky Options include: FrSky Version: Frsky D8 FlySky Version: AFHDS and AFHDS-2A So it's one of the three.
Ti ringrazio molto per la risposta! Ma il mio problema era un altro. Ho già la ricevente Fly Sky ma non riesco a fare il bind con la Radio Master Pocket CC 2500. Non è compatibile con flysky? Era questo che volevo capire🙏
@RCVideoReviews nice video my friend. I hot a happymodelX v.2.2 FC, AIO Flysky SPI. Everything was fine until one day i started to get those annoying telemetry lost/ recovered. Some times 1-3 times sometimes nonstop. They wierd thing is i sometimes get it on the simulator too.😂 Is so strange... I thought well maybe i crash and i damaged something but I don't understand why it does it on the simulator. (When i have multiprotocol off on the tx16s i think is fine) i know it could be anything but i would appreciate an opinion. Thank you in advance 😊
You can always set failsafe options in the radio under model setup. Below the Rx bind options you should see a line called "Failsafe mode" On that line you can specify hold, custom (which lets you program per channel values), no pulses, or receiver. I haven't verified operation on the ia-6b, but if you set failsafe on the Tx to receiver, then you have to hold your sticks where you want them by pressing the FS/Bind button on the Rx. Personally, I would just use custom instead. Much easier to manipulate and change after the fact.
Those are re-branded FlySky RXs. They should work fine: AFHDS 2A is supported github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md
Nice one - yep FlySky Receivers are really great value and work great with the TX16S, including failsafe settings and access to telemetry. I find the RadioMaster TX16S and FlySky IA6B Rx gets better range compared to using the standard FlySky i6 Tx (my i6 is modded to 10Ch via bojangles software hack) and the servo actions are smooth over the full range (using std analogues). Currently I'm waiting on a FlySky FS-CVT01 Voltage Sensor to arrive to add to the telemetry so i can monitor the flight pack voltage separately from the ESC derived 5 volts that you see as the A1 value in telemetry by default. For those who want to hack the IA6B to give a flight battery voltage directly there are hack videos and forums that demonstrate how to mod the IA6B receiver (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vUC08Ky5qr0.html is one example).
I looked at that voltage sensor. It looked kind of beefy compared to what I'm used to from FrSky. I was surprised. I thought the telemetry would require jumping through hoops--nope. Hard to beat $11 for a 6ch sbus Rx with telemetry. I hope FrSky is paying attention--they've gone the wrong direction.
@@RCVideoReviews Agreed, and the FlySky IA10B 10 channel receiver is just the same as the IA6B but with more channels....and still cheap for a 10ch Rx. I was gearing up to buy a new FrSky radio just as the TX16S came on the market; after a few reviews of the TX16S it was like shut up and take my money.
Yup. Me too. I had a few issues and looked at just buying another Taranis until I did the reading--same exact response. I thought I read there is an external MPM out there...?
@@Toth_Marton If you have the TX16S radio paired with a FlySky Rx then plug in the voltage sensor into the Rx and then scan for the voltage sensor in the telemetry settings in the Tx and it will appear as an available value. You can then use that value as you want, either to trigger automated responses at nominated voltage levels or direct off a switch.
@@RCVideoReviews no i dont :) but i know that flysky has the lowest latency protocol on the market. Im planing to switch fsi6 for tx16s but i would like to keep fs receivers in my helis but im afraid that tx16s multiprotocol will induce some higher latency
