Thanks TCIII.
So, just to make sure I’m getting it, my choices are to either:
a) Add a PPM encoder http://store.3drobotics.com/products/ppm-encoder which translates all 6 AR610 outputs to a single 3 pin PPM line, which is then connected to the RC IN input on the Pixhawk, or
b) Add the DSMX remote receiver https://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPM9645 which can connect directly to the SPKT/DSM port on the Pixhawk.
How is the Remote Receiver connected to the AR610 receiver? Is it a wireless connection?
You mentioned that the Remote Receiver doesn’t have the range of a full-up receiver. I’m missing something.
Doesn’t the AR610 pick up the transmitter, send it to the Remote Receiver, which connects to the Pixhawk? The AR610 and Remote Receiver are both on the vehicle, right?
Is there a Spektrum DSM receiver that’s compatible with my DX6i that outputs SPKT/DSM directly?
Or, is there a compatible (non-DSM) receiver with PPM encoder built-in that I could use?
I’m just trying to understand the options before I take a next step.
