New to drones need advice..

[scarelet]

okay so Iv got a eachine Qx95 with I6 transmitter. I just purchased a black knight 210 and would like to know If/how to use my I6 on the new drone????? please any advice would be great.

Qx95 with I6 transmitter.

Ummmmm, nope I don't think so .... If by "I6" you're referring to the Turnigy or FlySky FS-i6 radios, they use
AFHDS (frequency hopping) protocol, whereas the Black Knight 210 has a built in DSMX receiver which is a
Spectrum protocol (Like the DX6e Radio uses) unless the I6 has a provision for adding modules (almost certain is doesn't)
then you're going to need another radio (unless you know how to hack your I6 and install a cross-protocol module)

Well seeing as it uses a Naze Rev6 flight controller you should be able to pull the Spektrum satellite and slip this in it's place.

Then use either SBus/Ibus or PPM and wire it properly to the Naze. There will probably be a Spektrum RX also tucked inside that can be removed.

you should be able to pull the Spektrum satellite

I too was going to suggest that, but it's unclear what they meant by "built in" receiver on the BK210 and I've yet to see the innards of one.
If it's just the independant RX tucked in there, yes it should be easily swappable, but if it's an integrated function of the main board then not so easily done.

Well after rooting around some more I've learned that the Spectrum is indeed a separate unit (mounted under the top plate above the camera), so good news scarelet, all you need to do is swap the RX and you're good to go

Im going to do some studies to learn more.lol sucks being a newb.

Hey, we were ALL newbs at one point ... lol ... RX is short for receiver and TX is for transmitter.

You'll also see: VTX which refers to the Video Transmitter (inside the quad) that sends the signal to the VRX
(used with goggles or a screen) as well as LOS (line of sight, which is just looking at the quad while flying)
as opposed to FPV (first person view, which is looking into a screen or goggles, seeing what the quad sees).

Here's a more exhaustive list for other terms too: http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/rc-abbreviations.4364/

Thanks Doc.

I am not good at it.

Hmmm, I am not good at it.

Nobody is at first ... lol ... there's a lot to learn and new skills to develop, but once you get the hang of it it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on
