2. EXAMPLE CONNECTIONS:


Motor (H1 output)

Servo (P1)

Led (P7)

'P' outputs are 3v when on and 0v when off. Led's need resistors to limit current to 20mA but high brightness led's allow a lower current (eg: 2-5mA). Google will reveal how to select resistor values but 220-470ohms will be safe starting values.

The 4v BEC output is suitable to power a small servo when the Rx is powered with a higher voltage. When the Rx is powered with 1S lipo, it would be more normal to power a servo direct from the lipo



3. BINDING

Bind once:
1. Switch Rx on and wait ~20s until led flickers fast.
2. Switch Tx on in bind mode.
3. Rx led should flash slowly; wait for it to go solid.
Change distance between Tx/Rx if binding does not work.




4. LED:
Led On = perfect reception (real-time indicator).
1 flash = Scanning (~2sec between flashes; no signal or not bound if never stops).
5 flash = LVC/Brownout (voltage went too low; check battery/motor load).

5. FAILSAFE:
The motor output is not active on startup and while scanning for a signal.
The motor output 'holds' last known settings on short signal losses (<1sec) and then slows to a stop over 3 seconds.

6. OTHER:
This receiver has other features that are not described.
These are changed using a technique called 'programming':
