Anyone know the basic wire setup for a CC3D to a FrSKY X8R receiver?

I have the same setup at home and it took me a while, you can use the s.bus which is only 3 wires.

You need one of the cc3d micro connectors, plug the micro plug into the "main port" of the cc3d, then the red, black and blue go into the sbus port "bottom" right of the x8r. It will have a picture on the receiver. My set of wires had dodgy colours so i had to use the blue wire.

You will know it worked when you are in cc3d and you get a response.

Also, i had to program the channels that cc3d pick up onto my taranis, via page 6 on the transmitter. I think its the mixer page where you assign buttons to channels.

When i get home tonight i will send you a picture

Also in cc3d hardware screen, you need to configure the main port to sbus, its in a drop down menu.

When you select the the ppm, pwm seťtings, choose "futaba sbus"
 
Hm, very nice. Sounds like a pretty nice way to setup the receiver.
Any downfalls you have had with using PPM?

Im pretty excited to use my new Frsky.
I got rid of the futaba because of a local guy that uses a frsky. Telling me how much fine tuning you can get with it.

So the PID settings(i think thats what it is) is a whole new thing to me to use.
 
No downfalls, i am a bit of a noob, and it was very easy, and it gave me more channels for the other buttons on the taranis transmitter.

One tip i guess is to wait and see what channels cc3d assigns before seting up taranis channels.
 
Alright. Im really still not seeing how to do this.

I changed my cc3d board to sbus and saved it.
As far as I can tell, the cable I have for that port (from left to right) is black, red, blue and yellow.

So on the sbus I plugged in the black to the far right, the red in the middle and the blue as the signal which is on the left.
And yes I plugged this in on the sbus port on the receiver.

Problem is the light on the receiver isnt coming on. Even tried switching out the blue for the yellow as the signal.
 
Yea I feel dumb. Before, the receiver would kick on without the lipo. Just released that it needs the battery lol
And I didnt even have the remote set up yet or binded! Assumed it already came binded....

Now I can proceed. Will get back to you tomorrow =D
 
I'm not sure what a bind plug is but I binded the two together that night.
Got the quadcopter programmed and flying too with the new setup.

Was defiantly weird though when I was just hovering it inside and after I landed it, it started to cut out. Could see the receiver green light go on and off.
 
Mine does the same, i am not sure if it struggles when the lipo is running low.

I have seen on youtube there is ways of also calibrating the range on the taranis, but i am not sure the practical benefits of this...

Let me know how you go fine tuning the settings...
