"Hi Marc,
You never responded to my question.
Are you trying to use the PX4FMU on a fixed wing plane without a PX4IO?
Since you were asking about the DF13 connector it seemed like you might be.
If you are, it won't work, it isn't…"

David Sprenkle replied to Marc's discussion PX4 - SBUS in the group ArduCopter User Group"I have found a solution to my problem.
I have a DX8 with a Orange RX 7 ch with S Bus
Lucky for me one channel is correct which is Yaw so I have to change 3 channels. To do so I had to create two mixes per channel. One Mix that mixes…"

"I don't think you can switch them on the PX4.
The only way would be to download the source, edit it and re-make the firmware module and that is not a reasonable process yet.
It is quite possible that your transmitter will permit channel…"

"Hi Marc,
It sounds like you might be trying to use a PX4FMU board only on a fixed wing plane, if so that won't work PX4FMU only will only work on a quadcopter.
If you do need to use a PX4FMU only on a quadcopter, the connector you need is one…"
David Sprenkle replied to Marc's discussion PX4 - SBUS in the group ArduCopter User Group"I have attach a Orange RX S Bus to the RX4. When I look at the Mission Planner I see all my switches and joystick inputs move, but they are on the wrong channel. So I can verify that it is working but I don't know how to switch the…"
ItCanOnlyBeJared replied to Marc's discussion PX4"What is your latency when you connect with USB? Mine ranges from 90 - 125ms. Seems a bit way too high for a direct USB serial link. And I don't think I've seen any S.Bus config options yet. I'm sure it will be more easy to work with…"

RST_MISSION
Hello All,In arduplane you can set RST_MISSION on a pwm value allowing you to reset the mission in flight, can this be done in arducopter? as there is no rst_mission in advanced parameters.regardsSee More
Marc replied to Marc's discussion PX4 - SBUS in the group ArduCopter User Group"many thanks chester looks like you have to connect the rx to the df13 connector, which is not supplied with the kit?
Anyone know where I can get this connector from?
regards

Marc replied to Marc's discussion PX4 - SBUS in the group ArduCopter User Group"many thanks chester I am using this on a plane so I take it 1-airelon, 2- elevator, 3-throttle, 4-rudder

Marc replied to Marc's discussion PX4 - SBUS in the group ArduCopter User Group"Thanks chester,
problem is where do I plug in the ppm sum?"
Chester replied to Marc's discussion PX4 - SBUS in the group ArduCopter User Group"I was tried to connect SBUS Rx to PX4IO but no success (with Arducopter). FrSky PPM-sum work nice. I think board is waiting for inverted SBUS like autoquad board and mikrocopter."
DeveloperRandy replied to Marc's discussion PX4 - SBUS in the group ArduCopter User Group
"I've never used it but I'm pretty sure that you don't plug it into the regular ppmsum input connector which is down with the motor outputs. The connector is somewhere else on the board although i'm not sure where."
Marc replied to Marc's discussion PX4 - SBUS in the group ArduCopter User Group"has anyone here used the px4 board with futaba sbus system yet? would love to hear from anyone as im stuck scratching my head."
