Hey guys. I'm having some issues setting up ppm. I'm using a CC3D with turnigy i6 transmitter and an ia6b receiver. I have ppm set to use on my transmitter and have 3 wire from the receive port on the FC to ppm/channel 1 on the receiver. Using librepilot went in and in hardware tab set it to use ppm no oneshot and and nothing. No response input and channels. I tried using the setup wizard and the same nothing responds. So i it set it back up with pwm and works. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Hey, did you plug signal to correct pin? I was using OP loooong ago and was using PWM then, but from what I recall, PPM pin has changed over time. Hope this thread will be useful: https://forum.librepilot.org/index.php?topic=680.0

So would I need to remove the signal pin on the 3 wires and put in the signal on the 8 pin

What I suggest, is you should check that topic asi dont know

Unfortunately not many people on our forum use CC3D anymore.. Even fewer people use liber pilot

well at least one part can be helped with:


then we can work from there

Thanks for the info guys. I did get it working by setting to use ppm with using the flexiport instead of the receiver port on the board. I watched the video and will mostly likely flash betaflight on my cc3d. Me being new i went with the CC3D and librepilot since i read and watched videos and how it was recommended for people new the quadcopters by using the wizard being very user friendly. But see that its not used much anymore like Oscar said. What would u guys suggested for a good flight controller i could use with either betaflight or clean fight.? Some thing that is good but also at a good price. Thanks

happy to hear you resolved the problems, if you have it up and flying .. use it, burn packages first start in angle for 3 -5 packs... then try to switch to acro/rate... more hours on the sticks = better flying, you can experiment also as you fly (change something and see how it works)
in the mean time you can think of changes.. for now fly and enjoy the view

as of now F303 is good (not the best) http://www.fpvmodel.com/x-racer-f303-fli...g1106.html
in nearest future i expect market to be flooded with F4 chips... for now this is a good price / performance

ps. if you are not expert at soldering this is a very easy layout to solder even my big hands and lousy iron can work on this

Here is some popular FC voted by the community 

Thanks guys for the info and suggestions.

I have also had good experience with the X-racer F303 V3.1 FC. Low noise MPU6000 gyro and easy to tune with Betaflight 3.0.0 (at least easier than a FC with MPU6500 IMO)

and if you are to stick with cc3d, i;ve just installed betaflight 3.0 on one
so it is possible but you need ftdi.

Thanks guys. I think i might actually buy another CC3D and try to install beta flight on it. And keep my original one with librepilot firmware on it. Just in case i mess anything up. I find them online really cheap and even on amazon too. Once i get more experienced i think ill get the X racer 303 FC.

Nope, don't buy new one... if you want to buy a new one buy f3/f4
this process is 100 % reversible

so you can always go back to libre (any time you want, also if you make a mistake and upload wrong software... there is also a way back)
