Other FlySky receiver quadcopter

[Touchoco]

Hello Guys,

I finally received my stuffs to build my first quadcopter !!! I'm delighted. I manage to make all motors spin in the right sense !
But unfortunatly, I'm having troubles with the receiver. I need it for wednesday and I don't know which one would work for a quadcopter.
I found this one, but it's for airplanes or gliders.... Is it the one I should take ?

I forgot the link ^^ Stupide me ^^ Amazon.com: FlySky FS-R6B CT6B 2.4Ghz 6CH receiver for FS-TH9X 9CH Transmitter: Toys & Games

If you have a TX9, it will work just fine.

 

[Touchoco]

No , I have a FS-T6

 

[Tony]

I read the reviews and in there they state it will work with the fst6 just fine.

 

[Touchoco]

Ok thanks you.
For now I found an FS-R6B with a friend but when I put it with the cc3d the led doesn't light up
When I put the receiver directly on an esc the led is blinking until i startup the fs-t6 while pressing the bind key. then the led remain lighed.
What should I do ?

 

[Tony]

Check the input voltage that is powering the Rx. It should be around 5vDC. ,

 

[Touchoco]

I checked. I don't have 5V. But I checked the wires and they are fine. Do you know what's wrong ?

 

[Tony]

Are you using OPTO ESC's by chance? If so, then you need an external BEC.

 

[Touchoco]

No I'm not. But I use only one of the 4 ESC red wire to power the CC3D. Can I use one of the 3 others to power the radio receiver ?

 

[Tony]

Yes you can. And if they are not switching BEC's, you can actually hook all 4 of them up. But they have to NOT be switching. This will also give you more amperage being you will be using more esc's.

 

[Touchoco]

How do I know if thez are switching ESC ?
I'm using these but I don't see anything about switching or not

 

[Tony]

Can you post a link to the ESC's you are using?

 

[Touchoco]

Yes of course.

[Tony]

It doesn't say anything about being a switching BEC so you should be safe. Are any of your ESC's putting out 5vDC?

 

[Touchoco]

Yes, one does.

 

[Tony]

Use that one for power. Then you should get a light on the Rx and power the FC as well.

 

[Touchoco]

OK thanks you ^^
What do you call an FC ?

 

[Tony]

The Flight Controller.

Just a quick question. Do you have all of your ESC's connected together to use one battery? It's just odd that only one ESC has power. Makes me a little worried.

 

[Touchoco]

All of my ESC are connected together and they passed the test with OpenPilot. I didn't checked the power output for all of them because I put some thermo shrinking sheath one the red wires which weren't connected to the FC.

 

[Touchoco]

I think the box of the CC3D I'm having is keeping me from wiring it properly ...
Thanks you again Tony I could have look for a while to find it alone
