"Yep, I agree, really not so bad to use the encoder.
I was able to get the SBus working with one of the firmwares, haven't had time to look at this project again, but I bought the encoder and now I can use it with any firmware, no need to worry…"

"They mentioned the copter this morning on radio in Brisbane Australia"
"What confused me was reading on the different sites Pixhawk, PX4, APM, PX4FMU and then needing some modules to make things work.
Still most of the documentation that I am able to find has to do with APM and not Pixhawk so for someone new that…"

"Thank you
I am looking up the settings in the manual and I have a couple questions
Where can I find which channel is linked to which switch on the transmitter?
Does the number next to the text, e.g. 5GEAR mean that is linked to channel 5? Which…"

"Wish I knew. What I understood from the documentation is that if you go to the screen where you can set it up and flip switches on the transmitter then the correct row will highlight and you can choose
Either my transmitter isn't sending anything…"

"I just installed 3.2-rc-1 and my SBus R7008SB is also working
Robert Lorenzo you should be fine with the Beta software. I haven't flown yet, but I am just able to arm using SBus. More than I could do with the previous firmware
You will need to…"

"I will try that again tonight, but last time I couldn't get past the RC failsafe with the beta firmware."
"SBus doesn't seem to be working at the moment. I would say best option is just to buy the PPM Encoder and use that for now
I went back to SBus, because I couldn't just leave the problem alone just to try things again after it was working with the…"

"I decided to buy the PPM Encoder because of the issues I have been having. I was able to even arm the Pixhawk using the PPM Encoder. So I am able to use the current release. I found a video online to show how to arm the Pixhawk…"
I am working on configuring my Pixhawk. I tried different firmwares and the different apps. Not going so well today I think. I am not seeing the LED colours displaying in the…
"Thank you. Been reading so much the past couple of week and all the information is scrambled by now. I will start from the beginning again and work through now that I know the Sbus is working. Been learning Pixhawk, Futaba SBus, Futaba receivers…"
"I can't reply to your other post for some reason.
So now we know the new patch makes SBus work on channel 8. I didn't test the SBus 2 connector. Will do that tomorrow morning quick
I am trying to move a servo (I want to fly gas), not a motor…"

"Great. I was able to get the sticks recognised. Not sure how to get all the buttons recognised, but that isn't important at this point
I believe I have done everything. I still have 2 quick flashing yellows. Can't find the documentation for…"

"I believe I am closer.
I flashed the latest firmware in Mission Planner then I went to QGroundControl to calibrate RC. The female voice keeps on going on about RC not calibrated while I am trying to calibrate it. I was able to move throttle, yaw…"
