Hi, all,

I received my (incredibly inexpensive) FS-IS6x transmitter yesterday; it came with a X6B receiver. Nice, tiny. Aside from the mounting holes needing to be drilled out to pass a standoff screw, I think I'm pleased with it.

But... it has a 3-pin LST-SH (I think) sbus output (male pin/female board-to-wire socket), and the wiring that came with the receiver ends in single servo/2.54mm header-pin sockets (a breakout).

My SP F3 Evo is a stack design on top of a PDB. I don't want to solder header pins to the UART in; I'd rather use the LST-SH s-bus-in on the F3 (4-pin). Here's the issue: it's the same gender as the one on the receiver.

Maybe my Google-fu is not up to snuff, but I can't find a premade 4-pin JST-SH to 3-pin JST-SH jumper. I can find lots of pigtails.

There's about 20mm between the output of the Rx and the SP F3. I would like to avoid bringing a lot of wire into the area both as I'd have to manage it, and also because the OSD will be in close proximity (even more wires to manage/signals to interfere), so splicing or using an unmounted header pin to buttsplice the wires from each device is not my preferred option.

I can go so far as to solve what should be an under-$10 issue by spending about $80 and getting tooling to crimp the JST-SH, and getting JST-SH wire-to-board male connector from Digi-Key. That seems... a tad excessive, possibly borderline obsessive

Anyone got a suggestion or two, or a link to a clean solution?

Thanks!

I have found here a JST SH 4 wire jumper cable, i don't know if you have a JST SH 3 pin connector spare. If so you can buy the 4 wire cable with the connectors.
Remove on one side all the pins[/size][size=small] out of the plastic housing, on the other side you remove on pin that you don't have to use for the iBus connection. Then plug the 3 pins in your JST SH 3 pin housing and you have made your own conversion cable.
You can get the pins out of the housing with a small tweezer.
The jumper cable is only 50 mm long
