Hey guys just a quick(not so quick) tutorial on how to setup this transmitter for use with a multi-rotor running CleanFlight or BetaFlight. Hopefully this helps someone out there just getting started. If this helps please don't forget to hit that like button.
Thanks for watching! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Channel mapping still not working
Angela Cervera If there is no movement at all then there is 4 possible reasons for that..
1. You are not bound to the receiver.
2. You have the wrong connection type selected. (example: you have ppm selected when using iBus.... or you have iBus selected when running pwm)
3. Your receiver is plugged into the wrong port on your flight controller
4. You are connected to the right port on the flight controller BUT you have not enabled serial Rx on the correct port in the Ports Tab
Hi RCFlyer85, I have tried all those options and none of them work, could you give some advice regarding #2 on the setting that should work. ie tried randomly multiple configurations with no luck
dale b what receiver do you have?
The same one you're using in the vid. Stock not updated.
dale b ok and how do you have it connected? PWM with all 6 (1 3 wire and 5 1 wire) wires, PPM with 1(3 wire connection ) or iBus with 1 (3 wire connection)?
Out of the countless hours of research and no one to show me what I was doing wrong,by far you have been the most helpful!! hands down,thanks
Thanks so much for the help. Now I’m flying endlessly
Great video, started off a bit rocky, but you recovered and did well! Keep up the videos and fly safe. I am a single engine aircraft pilot and a commercial drone pilot! Good job. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Your video fixed my issue that I had been working on for hours!
Trevor Williams Glad to hear that... that's why I do it. Happy Flying!
This is awesome! Added this to my VERY USEFUL playlist for quad-copters! Thanks!
I'm digging this review...Thanks for putting it into summary! I had a lot to learn by myself that you covered but much more still to be learned! Very helpful! Through and simplistic!
Blake Libby Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it. Thanks for watching and glad I could help
built my 1st quad set it all up then found that throttle was wrong spent half a day searching for the answer and found this video
cheers Brother for the simply fix
Thank you so much, I am new to this RC world and your video helped me with my first quad. You are the best!
Aiz That's what it's all about.... Glad I could help!
First time drone user needed help and you did it perfectly. Cheers bro
Great video Sir, loved the plain speaking easy to follow instructions and just subbed ya!
Rick Flare Awesome... Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks bro most helpful video by far
Thanks man, helped me out a bunch!
It really helped me! Thanks a ton
This helped me so much thanks!!!
HELPED ME BRO THANK U MUCH
Thanks for the tutorial! Subscribing for more for sure!! Keep it up!
FunkPV Thank you I appreciate it!
Thank You for the quick response. JR
Hi thanks best explained flysky setup
Great video, thnx alot man !
thank u it helped me a lot
Thanks man! I've been scratch building fixed wings for several years, but never built or even flown a "real" quad. I have a tinywhoop and like it and was wondering if I could use my radio with a bigger quad... I guess so. Now I just have to build it.....and probably rebuild it a few times to.
Depends what sort of radio.
If something like this a hobby grade radio sure.
If like one of those cheap little video game controllerslike come with many whoop packs , probably not.
And even if you could ou should probably just get a real radio that has proper gimbals and everything like this one least.
Thx good info keep it up
great video. does this have DSMX and or DSM2 ? also does it have safe or auto correct for beginner flying ?
your video saved my life. well, someone's life. that thing about holding the cancel button to save settings "everybody knows" - it's not in the manual that i can see.
atomictraveller Really? I never looked at any manual personally. Yeah it's sooo weird that they wouldn't at least make it long pressing the OK button.
Anywho glad I could help
TJ W Neither did mine but I assume he means an online manual
Worked, thx !
Im getting a happy model mantis that comes with one of these i6 transmitters so glad I can bind it to other stuff
i am me Yes the i6 is a really functional TX though the RX's are just so so
RCFlyer85 im new to all this it's definitely better than my hubsan x4 tx i will get a taranis later on but for learning betaflight and binding the mantis and this look perfect 😁
Is there a big difference between IA6 receiver and iA6B setup? I got my Wizard in and bound the receiver to it and controller successfully (connected the quad to channel 1 on the receiver), set up the arm switch on the controller (SWD) and tried to power up quad and controller and I'm not getting anything when I flick the arm button. Not even a hiccup. Also no throttle response. Is it necessary to update using beta flight? Or should it at least respond out of the box w the receiver connected to it?
Very helpful thanks👍
Your very welcome... Thanks for watching!
Great video.. does this work with the eachine novice 1?
Helps a lot thanks
Hi sir , i want to build my drone
i have sp racing f3 evo v2 and receiver fs-a8s and remote fs-i6 and motors
i solding the board with motors and receiver ,what i should do next ??
Awesome video but I need help finding that wire that you connected to the receiver from the drone like when you said make sure not to dod that because the wire was unplugged. Ya that wire i need but I cant find it
I am going to be your like number 500. =)
Carlo Mario I'm just happy that I could help so many people.... Happy Flying!
thanks for sharing my friend ✌
Hey man I followed your instructions down to the dot but at 9:32 nothing moves in cleanflight like yours does. BTW im glad i found your video Ive been trying to figure this problem out for a while. your video def helped me out a ton so far!
If you check out my comments to Angela Cervera (it should be pinned at the top of the comments) you'll see what I have to say about that. Hopefully that will help you out. Keep me updated
can't get beta flight to connect to my multi. running on a Mac, do I need to install a driver or something?
Great vid. I know it's laughable for most flyers but for us beginners, without videos like this it can be baffling so thank you. Is mode always on ch6 and arm ch5 on every quad though.
No you can change it around if you'd like but 1-4 are always going to be the same so ch5&6 are your only free channels unless you do the 10ch mod
The same, fs-ct 6b tx and rx, and yes I have movement in the receiver tab
I decided to buy eachine wizard x220 big jump from bugs 3 and 6 do i need to connect transmitter to the computer i can't get it to fly
Can you bind this controller with the Tinyhawk 2 freestyle?
what digital transmitter is compatable for echine e120 heli
hello! subbed! you are a pinnacle of knowlege. watched 15 vides, FINALLY yours explains it slowly, and understaNDING the concepts. i just got this radio at the thrift store for 2.50 and want to use it my quads. I will order some of the reciever parts that goes to the quads (i got some walkera 250's I want to bypass the Devo 710 and use my F6) I set it up as you instructed. would have never thought of that. thanks man truely, I am learning each day trying not to overspend. I will look for a few cheapie recievers, do they come with the cables to attach? I know i can direct power to a small battery or 4aa, something 4v-6v i immagine, yes>? anyway. tons to learn thanks again.
devo project on hold.
Hi, Angele can you help me set this up for hexell-x in cleanflight, I mean set the flysky.
Great vid helped me a lot now that's set do you have any vids on pid settings I'm a newbie so I don't know anything thanks jim
jim thumm No PID videos here but there's plenty here on TH-cam... I've watched plenty and still don't fully understand what to do lol...
Good Luck and Happy Flying!
Thx bro!
There has to be one more problem with my setup:
In betaflight all the signals from the radio do what they should, so that's fine. If I go to "motors" i can spin the motors, also fine. But when i desconnect my drone from the computer, restart the drone and the controller, i arm it and i set a flightmode, nothing happens. I can only see that the flightcontroller responds to my radio. Can somebody help me out?
Thanks for your video!! It helped me finally get my modes setup for my Furibee Fuuton 200. I'm stuck with a Eachine branded i6 transmitter, and I can't set the buzzer up. None of the other aux switches work. Plus is there a way to backup or save models if the transmitter get destroy or damaged.
George Grazette What receiver does it have and what do you have set up so far? Are you using any switches currently?
RCFlyer85 Flysky FS-A8S.I just ordered 2 ixb receiver ..the buzzer works when I shut the transmitter off, but I want on on the transmitter. I setup Arm on switch A, switch C is Angle, Hozion & Acro.. No Airmode made my motors spin up too much. If I update the firmware on the transmitter will I lost my previous model's ? Plus having to use sliding the tabs to get into setting will that be gone too.?
George Grazette I can't remember what all gets erased when you mod your controller since I did it so long ago so it's best to assume that it will erase everything. I personally don't know how it goes on the Eachine model though if you flash the official mod it should get rid of the need to slide the tabs. with your current set up if you're not using 3 flight modes you can set arming and two flight modes on the 3 position switch and that would leave another switch or Knob open for your buzzer or whatever else
Thanks for showing the right way to do things . I have a problem with getting my transmitted to work on screen like you have and my calibrations so off left is right right is left so I need help bad
Angela Cervera Like throttle is on the wrong stick or do you just need to reverse your channels?
Will this transmitter work on the Clearview flight simulator ??? ----------- Thanks!
Thanks for share bro
Did everything as per the video. I still cant change the values with the transmitter, i.e, in betaflight, the values do not change. p.s: the receiver port on the FC is ppm/sbus, i connected my receiver (the same one that u use) into that.
pls help
Thank you man!
If you still cannot bind like the remote wont say bind ok, your powersupply current might not be enough. I ran 1 amp and it wont bind but as soon as i ran it with a 2 amp charger it will bind instantly
the regular FS i6... can you change the mode 1 and 2 for left or right throttle control ? which mode is most commonly used ? which mode is better ?
Mode 2 is the most common and that's throttle on the left stick...
I can't remember for certain but I'm pretty sure you can change the mode on this transmitter but if you don't purchase it the way you want it you have to open it up to modify it when you change it
RCFlyer85: Nice Video and Thanks.
Question on an aspects of FailSafe setup.
This was not covered, but perhaps you have experience with also the Failsafe mode.
In BetaFlite has two options, 1: fall out of sky, 2: Land
In RX (IA6B) Failsafe setup, all six channel can be programed. So if I set say RX channel 3, Throttle in RX to lowest point (Throttle off) on the failsafe setup of RX screen.
Suggests to me the Quad will just fall out of Sky.
On the other hand, in Betaflite if it is set to
land. Which is the Master, I.E. does the quad react to the RX or Flight Controller?
Which is superior? Seems it might be the FC but not sure?
Thanks BobFlyer
Yeah I'm not sure which one is superior but I set both. Channel 3 to 0% and set it to drop if BF... If you really wanted to know you could just test it
I know this is an old video, but when i get to the receiver tab in betaflight, my sticks are at (A)1537, (E)1527, (R)1504 and my all sticks only go down to 1030-1060... Should i just trim them?
I wouldn't... Do it the right way
Thanks for all your time in posting this. I see you binded to your custom built drone. Can I bind to a Bugs 3 and Bugs 4, or any pre packaged drone ?? How’s that done ?
Most premade drones have their own proprietary software so in general no you can't. There are modules to emulate "some" of those signals for other transmitters but I've never used any so I couldn't help you much there.
RCFlyer85 thanks for the reply. I’ve seen some other videos where people have bound to pre made drones, so I just assumed it was easy to do. It also explains why those drones already come with their own controller. So...., maybe they can be modded, just not usually done. Thanks again.
Yahoooo!! at last, now I switch switches and my micro brushless starts and changes flight modes, its been weeks; no actually its been months and all I could do was scratch my head..Thank you..
EVIL TREE FPV Glad I could help!
please help. when i bind the rx battery shows up but it just keeps beeping and does nothing
hi i have a few questions i binded my mobula6 quad , i hear a beeing sound from the transmitted all the time and the rx is flashing , how can i turn that off? also in beta flight when i turn the motor stop on , and save the quad doesnt arm at all?
It's been a while since I've messed with this stuff so it'd be hard for me to help you currently..... Sorry.
Very good 👍☢️
Please help me,
I have the exact same receiver and transmitter as you do, but I am using a SPracing F3 Flight controller, I have binded my receiver with the transmitter, I have followed all the steps and I have selected the right configuration settings.
However, once I'm at the channel mapping, the throttle on betaflight doesn't move when I move the throttle on the controller
What version of betaflight is in your flight controller?
What happens if my bar isn't all the way full does that mean am not bond please help
thanks for the info sir
Ricky ThePhoton Dexter No problem I try my best to pay it forward to the hobby. Thanks for watching!
with the flysky fs t6 can I use ppm
vape guy 261 yes
That’s exactly what I’m looking for , one thing - does it work with orange cube FC ?
Unfortunately, I don't really follow drone stuff like I used to so I am unfamiliar with that FC
Oh ,ok
so will will this transmitter work with the Rx31d is a DSM2/DSMX compatible 4 channel micro receiver with twin on-board 2A ES
??
Manny Silva No it will not
Have you messed with your Raptor 390 lately? You been able to get your LED pinouts to work on that FC?
Hans Yeah my led works just fine... I have an 8 LED board all programmed and working just fine
thanks you are amazing
Hello: Have a question for you that you may help me with???? I'm new to fpv and my wife surprised me with a Eachine Wizard X220 FPV Racer Blheli_S F3 6DOF 5.8G 48CH 200MW 700TVL Camera w/ FlySky I6 RTF and of course there are no instructions that came with it and I have no idea how all this is supposed to work. Now I got to the point where I got the fpv and my googles to work and I was able to pair the receiver with the drone but I can't get the motors to start. So I did some more research on you tube and down loaded Beta Flight and connected the drone with my computer to check out the operation. Well when I tabbed down to the receiver tab and it opened there is no info. According to other posts there are different color horozonal bars that show up to correspond with the different radio controls and would move when you would move each control. Well on my system there are no color bar and no movement when moving the controls. I can't find any instruction on how to go about checking what would cause this problem? So is there any instruction you could give me on how to go about and what to check so I can make the controls work, I think if I can figure this problem out this will fix the problem of the motors not wanting to ture on?. I hope I explained and made sense on my problem. Thanks for your help I watch your channel all the time and have learned a lot so thanks again.
John
I'd start with updating to the most recent version of betaflight and then you will need to set up everything all over again...
Definitely helping me. But Km still lost. Lol Thanks
All set, thx!
can you use the other type of receiver for this?
the stock one it comes with which port?
thanks!!!!
ultra rc Not sure what RX you are talking about but this transmitter works with most FlySky AFHDS 2A receivers like the... A8S, X6B, iA6C, iA6 etc
why is it when I try to configure my Eachine i6 remote controller in Libre Pilot, when I check to see if the remote is responding correctly with the on screen controls for throttle, pitch , roll and yaw, they do not move in the right direction on the screen that they should be moving {when I move throttle up the on screen controls show that the throttle being moved downward instead of upward. How can I fix this problem. Thanks
gerald j You need to reverse your channels... You can do this in Libre or in the transmitter itself.
I have a dji flame wheel. The flysky FS-i6 is missing so I need to program another one which I bought with the FS-i6 flysky reciever and bind it. How do I know if it's clean flight or Betaflight? What else do I need to know to get it to fly.
I haven't touched drones in a while... I honestly don't remember anything about this receiver. Sorry I can't help
@Ed Straker Thank you for your assistance.... Hopefully he gets (got) it working
Hello
Flysky has FS-i6 controller and dron which is flip32 control card.
Can you help with flight settings?
Thank you
Bayfen Bursa you have to be more specific than just flight settings what exactly are you trying to set up? Do you have the receiver bound and working correctly?
Do you need any extra cables aside from what comes in the box?
I don't know.... I've never purchased a controller alone so I don't know what comes in the box.
i had successfully bind a8s with fs i6 on my eachine ex110 but quad not responding, its my first racer, please guide.
Fish and Aquarium Lover you'll have to set that up in betaflight or cleanflight whichever one you're using and try using S Bus or I bus
Hey man thank you for this. I have my eachine I6 bound to the ppm ia6b RX and ppm set in betaflight but for some reason my channels aren't moving like when you go to set your endpoints in receiver in betaflight. I just had the pwm version working on the same quad a day ago and then I get the ppm version and it's not working. You think it's a bad RX? There were some bad reviews I read on Amazon where I got it. I hope I'm just doing something wrong. Hope you can help thank you.
Ian Rice Double and Triple check your wiring... Why not use iBus?
Never mind I got threw trial and error.
RCFlyer85 thank you replying. I actually got it all set up now. Trial and error ya know. Thank you kindly.
Great video, very helpful
quick question why should multi rotors be setup on plane or glider? i set mine up on fixed pitch heli am i doing something wrong?
ShiestyFPV That's just the most common way of doing it and simpler in my opinion but hey if you set it up your way and it works more power to you. I think the logical explanation is that quadcopters actually fly more like planes than they do fix pitch and collective pitch helicopters. But hey there's more than one way to skin a cat
As a beginner, which flysky model would you advise? So many different models of flysky receivers. I'm making wood planes and gliders.
Sorry so late appearantly TH-cam hasn't been giving me notifications for a while and I just noticed...
Depends on how many channels you need but most likely the ia6b or ia10b would be best for you
I just bought the ia6 transmitter +ia6b receiver for 38 euros at bnggd. I think the telemetry of the ai6b can be important in time. I don't need 10 channels.
thanks great tutorial really appreciate
donkey No problem... Thanks for watching!
Hey bro, you still got that Walkera Rodeo 150 ? You said you were selling it for around 80, I was wondering if you would do 75, ? I was able to scrape together atlesst that much!!?
Nope it's spoken for already.... sorry
Hi, I'm a super boob, but I wanted to know, if I'm suposted to leafe the resever in the Drone or, If I should unplug IT again, when everything is set up 😁(or in other words should I fly with the resever?)
Receiver stays in
@@RCFlyer85 thanks😀
Hi got one problem . for some reason my little one pulled out all my cables out of my machine i6 what colors goes where ...
M SBW There is no standard really so I couldn't say.... Honestly it doesn't matter as you can remap them in BetaFlight/Cleanflight
i got a question, where are the red,black and white cables attached to from the quad copter @ 5:13 ?
Thank you!
Dmun That all depends on your FC.... Everyone is different.
i have an F3 flight controller, this one: eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-Upgrade-NAZE32-F3-Flight-Controller-Acro-6-DOF-Deluxe-10-DOF-for-Multirotor-Racing-wp-Eu-1010232.html?rmmds=myorder
can i just plug it in or something? i'm building my first drone now so i'm kinda new :)
Thanks for your reply!
My transmitter is not responding like yours is when you go to betaflight I check if all the channels were in the right place but I checked all the channels
same as yours but I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Angela Cervera But how is it wrong? You have to be specific so I can help you.
I NEED HELP!
the stopping position of my elevator stick at the bottom so when im not touching it at all my motor will be running at 50 percent. I have to keep the stick at the bottom for about 5 seconds to set it. how do I make it so the stopping position is in the middle?
my remote is flysky-fs-t6
motor is uxcell dc gear motor 550 rpm brushed
and escs are turnigy 30a
Gnimag Pickle I'm not fully understanding what your situation is... Can you maybe expand on it a little more
RCFlyer85 the elevator stick behaves like throttle were the brake position on my elevator stick is on the bottom. I need to set the default position of my elevator stick but I don’t know how.
Gnimag Pickle Possibly a throttle range issue... Check out my video on throttle range and see if that's your issue
Thanks RCFlyer85:
I have a Turnigy I6 from 2015.
The Model Name will not show up on the screen after I name the model and save.
If I use say Model 06 and call it Drone06 and save, it shows up on the main screen as
Turnigy 06. Tried many times and it will not show the name properly.
Other than that I have to remember what turnighy xx is, all other features work fine.
Any suggestions to fixes?
Tnx Bob
Robert Steele Is this in AFHDS ( Not 2A ) mode? It should say right on the front screen either AFHDS2A or AFHDS. If you are not in 2A mode I don't think it saves the names that way but other than that I'm really not sure unless it's just something from the Turnigy firmware that could probably be fixed by updating your transmitter
It is in Mode AFHDS2A
Found out it is a Turnigy I6 Bug in Firmware
I bought the unit in 2015 and have not updated firmware Since I may brick my tx. Just have to remember the planes quad assignment.
Thanks bob
Which Flight controller is used
How would I change the arm from the left stick to the sw a
You do that in Betaflight
One more thing I brought the transmitter separate not rtf they told me I had to buy the other receiver fs ia6b
What ever you had done I also could able achieve but when I move my throttle motor is not responding. Any suggestion.
Clean flight is responding if I change throttle.
When you move the throttle does the throttle channel move or is it a different channel?
@@RCFlyer85
Yeah I I move throttle throttle bar in clean flight responds according to the movement.
@@vasanthakumarvelkumar3776 Could be any number of things. You'll have to take the time to troubleshoot. If possible try and find someone local to help out
@@RCFlyer85 thank you
my motors aren't responding to either the tx or the gui (clean flight) I was trying to map throttle response from min to Max, kindly help me
sri vamsi Does anything move on the receiver tab in CleanFlight? What receiver and TX are you using
@rcflyer85 not sure why but I get no bars on the reviever screen in cleanflight however the remote is bound and I have followed all your steps. any thoughts?
looseyfur74 Either you have the wrong Uart selected if it's serial RX or you have your RX wired wrong
I guess im just too noobish to follow. I have the same equipment as you seem to have in your video however after configuration as youve illustrated in this video, the quad literally will not fire. About to start from scratch for the 3rd time... your video makes most sense to me from the other tutos, I hope its my ignorance and not a defective drone?
if you want you can send me pictures on Facebook and I can check out your setup... I'll need closeups of the wiring and the ports, config page on Facebook
RCFlyer85 that is mighty kind of you I'll shoot some photos when I get back in the office 👍
Damn, I'm now running backwardsI got my motors working and when I tried to re calibrate, I messed up.
Clean flight failed to recognise my com port, I uninstalled and reinstalled installed the driver again, device manager fails to show the driver( can't find it in c drive either). I don't know what to do. Please help me. By the way thanks for ur reply earlier
sri vamsi You are just having the worst issues it seems... I don't think I could help you further without actually being there in person. Maybe you can find someone local to take a look at it. Sorry I can't do more.... Best of luck
I’m a little confused. I followed Another build tutorial and he didn’t do this. I don’t have power for the receiver to bind it. How do I power it?
You'll need to either have an external 5v source or hook it up to the drone and plug the battery in
Props off for safety!
So I'm curious if you know how to add another aux switch. Currently I have swa and swc programed but I would like to add swb for a buzzer mod, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add another aux switch to program. If you have any knowledge on that, I could use some help.
Cooper Hilton You have to make sure you have the correct receiver and you'll need to do the 10channel mod to enable more channels on a stock FS i6
Oh goodness. So the Flysky 2.4G 6CH FS-iA6B Receiver wont work with this?
Cooper Hilton Yes the ia6b will work but only on ppm or iBus. the question is what transmitter do you have if you have the original I6 transmitter it is only capable of handling six channels so for 4 controls and two switches you will need to do the 10 Channel mod if you would like to get control of all of the switches at the same time
Yeah I believe I have the original. Its the FlySky FS-i6 2.4G 6CH AFHDS. Looks like I'm going to attempt the 10 channel mod.
What Happened from 9:24 to 9:26 when the video skips. That is where I get stuck, my Controller does not talk to my receiver.
can you recommend a good beginner RC helicopter radio....something not too expensive or difficult to bind....I am looking to get a radio that will bind with the Blade or WL toys BNF model helis.....thanks
Gary Vale The only way your going to be able to control multiple brands and protocols is getting something like a Devo10 and highly modding it. You'll have to do a lot of research on different protocols and how they interact with each other
thank you ...as you are the only one who explained about the different protocols.....I will see which brand heli uses what protocol and go from there....2 different radio manufacturers might be best for me .....can you tell me what are the most common protocols used for the popular BNF helis ...thanks again...
Gary Vale The most popular out is FrSky, Spektrum and FlySky
thanks ...I will begin to search out these brands...is there any simple way to know what protocol the various BNF type helis use ...such as Walkera or Blade or WLtoys.....that would help me select a radio ....
Gary Vale Well Walkera uses their own proprietary stuff. Blade uses Spektrum dsm technology and I can't remember WLToys one but you can't really expect to fly hobby grade stuff and "toys" with the same transmitter. Basically at this moment in time your safest bet is to get a FrSky transmitter like the Taranis Qx7.... If you plan to buy specifically Blade products then your going to want a Spectrum Transmitter that's capable of DSM, DSM2 and DSMx
