- Put the receiver in "bind" mode:
- Locate the "row" of 3 pins labeled "BAT" or "BIND/DATA" on the receiver.
- If you have a "bind-key", plug bind-key into that "row" of 3 pins.
- If you do not have a bind-key, use a female-female jumper short the 'data' and 'GND' (the 2 furthest pins, not the middle pin) pins in that row.
- Power the receiver, either:
- If using a motor controller, plug motor controller (ESC) into any of the receiver's channels (orange on left, red in middle, brown on right) and connect battery to ESC.
- If using an Arduino, plug the Arduino into your computer with a USB cable. Use a jumper wire to connect the Arduino Uno's 5V pin to any middle pin on the receiver. Plug another jumper wire into any right pin of the receiver.
- Setup the controller. Make sure ll switches are forward and left throttle is down.
- Bind the controller. Hold BIND KEY on back of the controller and turn on the controller.
- Wait until the receiver stops blinking
- Unplug the power from the receiver, i.e. unplug the motor controller from receiver.
- Unplug bind-key from receiver.
- Turn off controller
- Power the receiver, either:
- If using a motor controller, plug motor controller into BAT or BIND/DATA
- If using an Arduino, plug the 2 power jumpers into the BAT or BIND/DATA row. Arduino 5V -> receiver middle pin. Arduino GND -> receiver right pin.
- Plug servo into any channel (white on left, red in middle, black on right)
- Turn on controller
- The servo should move when you move the left throttle (that means it works!)
Troubleshooting:
- If you don't see any lights on the receiver before or after binding, the receiver might be defective. Ask a coach to check your setup.
- Is your controller beeping when you turn it on? That's because one of the switches or sticks are not in their default position. When someone is holding the remote normally, the default position is: switches flipped in the position closest to the user. The throttle stick (not-spring loaded stick) is "down", closest to the user.
