However I don’t get any signal at all in mission planner radio setup page. Bars don’t react to sticks, if i disconnect the receiver cable I also don’t notice any changes.
Let me know if I’m doing something wrong. Also while digging around I found out that RC/SBUS port uses UART6, it doesn’t show up in any SERIAL parameters . Is there any way i can use that?
Connect the AR8020T not through the Bind/Prog/SRXL2 port but use the servo port no 1 (on the receiver).
I don’t know why is this an issue. I will update it as I play more with it.
Okay, more discoveries:
Failsafe setup with forward programming is buggy as hell.
Since I connected the autopilot to port 1, if i set up the failsafe for throttle, sometimes it stops working, I witnessed it working once though.
Most of the time the failsafe throttle setup through forward programming does not work through SXRL2 port, however it outputs the correct values to servos from the reciever. Maybe they didn’t compute the failsafe values for SXRL2, just servo outputs.
Ardupilot can detect rc is lost through the serial, I switched of the remote while armed, it said NO RC RECEIVER on mission planner HUD
This is not an ardupilot issue. Did anyone manage to setup the ardupilot failsafe with this reciever? or managed to use the Bind/Prog/SRXL2 port instead of the first one?
Would you mind sharing how you managed to connect it?
You have the 3 pin cable on port 1 and where did you connect the cable on the pixhawk? I am trying to set it up as you also but don’t know where to plug it in.
Thank you in advance
hi @umbcorp, I know it’s a while since you posted here but I am wondering, when you used receiver port 1 for the SXRL2 how did you make the throttle also work in the mission planner?
I am able to see the changes for the other things but the throttle stays unchanged all the time.
I do see channel 6 moving when I move the throttle but I don’t see any info on how I can change this radio 6 to throttle.
