    Confused about how to connect the Flysky FS-iA6B receiver to your Eachine Wizard X220? In this video, I'll walk you through the entire process! The Wizard X220 (I bought mine in 2017) uses the Seriously Pro Racing F3 (SPracingF3) flight controller (FC), so this guide will also apply to other quadcopters using the same FC. I am using the Flysky i6X transmitter.

    on the spracing f3 board, you can plug that same connector into the back of the flight controller instead of the front, and then ibus servo connector on the reciever, reconfigure in betaflight for serial communication then ibus, and it will result in lower latency, and 14 channels. all with the exact same hardware :) happy flying!

    Hi there great vid I am going through this step by step and I have to ask, (as I'm new to this) does that receiver that comes with the transmitter end up being mounted to the quad? You didn't mount it but is that what you would need to do after all that so the receiver stays on the actual quad and flies with it ???

    Hi @RCwithAdam , is that a servo connector you're using to connect via PPM? I'm not aware of what wires I should be using between the receiver and FC. Do you know what I should be looking for on Amazon etc?

    • @RCwithAdam1
      @RCwithAdam1  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Technically, you CAN use the ia6 with PWM protocol, BUT that is the WORST option for a mutirotor. Between the two, I HIGHLY recommend the ia6b. my favorite is the iRangeX Fli14+ or FS-X6B using ibus protocol.

      Hi! 1. connect bind plug to rx.
      2. power on rx (connect battery) (rx should blink)
      3. with your tx on the model profile you want to use, and the OUTPUT MODE set to match that of the rx, hold down the "bind" button while switching on the power (the switches need to be in the up position and throttle down).
      4. tx should beep and probably show the rx and voltage on the screen.
      5. binding complete

I’m not “gonna want to…” I “already do want to”… but I’m trying to figure out how to. Is there anybody who shows you? He might as well be just doing a audio pod cast!

      Hi! The beginning was a quick overview for people who are already familiar with Betaflight. at 00:59 I begin the tutorial where I walk through the whole process. And just for clarification, I say "gonna want to" partially because that is my style of speaking, and also because it is a more casual and engaging way of saying "this is next and most optimal step in this process."
