So, I've had two drone purchases from banggood; one x220s(first drone) and a standard x220 shortly after.
Long story short, I crashed the x220s and broke numerous things - bottom plate, arms - the drone had arrived in a semi-broken state with the vtx all screwed up, so I bided my time and bought the anniversary edition of the x220, as an ARF model.
Now, what I'm trying to work out from 0 experience is, can I use the IR-A8S receiver: https://gyazo.com/8f5c7ba7b60071bed73f8864b0eab0b4
In the ARF version of my x220. If so, is it just plug and play? I've spliced and soldered the wires together(it's not pretty but it works) as I didn't have the right connector and I'm confident doing soldering now - the receiver gets power indicated by the red light - but the controller doesn't actually do anything. I've entered in bind mode and bound the controller to the receiver, indicated by blinking red lights going to a steady light, but still no joy. I've hooked the FC up to my PC and on the receiver tab, nothing moves.
I'm racking my brains as to why it won't work but can't figure it out - hence why I'm here! If someones able to help me I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
