I have Taranis transmitter. I am using the receiver that came with the Taranis witch is a Frsky X8R. I have tried to connect it to my my pixhawk using a PPM encoder I bought from 3dr and also using the "smart port". The receiver gets power and connects to my radio but I can not do the radio calibration mission planer. the bars on my computer don't change when I move the sticks. I am trying to do this on a 3dr y6 that I built form a kit. This is my first multi rotor so I may just be making a simple mistake.

Check if the SBus plug is correctly connected on both sides.
ie - + S
You'll have to determine the channels on the radio to correspond to the channels on the PixHawk
Mine are a bit different from standard because I was using a Spektrum before, and you'll have to set up the channel order accordingly to yours.
After doing this then the channels should appear on the MP radio calibration screen
thanks
Is that on companion9x?
update companion....
yeah Im going to see if i have more luck with the windows version.
thanks
My screenshots are from the Mac version
I don't know what this issue was but the windows seems to be working.
thanks
I'm probably just doing something wrong but when i eject my radio it says EEprom bad or something like that. And erases everything on the radio.
thanks
Check correct connections
Program the radio like shown above. If it doesn't work......
The Taranis is a great radio but not very easy to begin with.
Connections on PH and X8R
yes. it´s easier than taking pictures from the radio :)
