How to get my Apm 2.6 board connected to my receivers and do I need telemetry?

Posted by Nikhil Rametra on March 25, 2014 at 6:03pm

HI guys,

I am building a quadcopter and I am having confusion with connecting the my AR610 receivers with my APM 2.6 board I also have a DX6i Controller. I am wondering if I need telemetry to fly my quadcopter using this board? I am confused because I thought I had the necessary equipment. Also my receivers have three pin connectors for the throttle, yaw, aux1, etc... If anyone can come up with solutions to my dilemma that would be great!

    Nikhil,

    You do not need telemetry to fly with this board .The telemetry allows you to have further options such as changing the flight plan in the air ,uploading new perams, ect without having to use the USB cable to connect to your computer.

        See link below for instructions on connecting your receiver.
