SP Racing F3 Deluxe Sbus?
#1
I'm new at this obviously. Anyways, my first self-build going on and I'm trying to plan ahead. I miss some screws and standoffs and just wanted to make a wire diagram on what goes where.

What I have now is a DemonCore 2.3 (http://demonrc.eu/wp-content/uploads/201...manual.pdf) and a SP Racing F3 Deluxe V1 (http://seriouslypro.com/files/SPRacingF3...latest.pdf). According to the F3 manual it's suppose to support Sbus. However I cant seem to find the pin to connect Sbus signal and no information in the manual other than what it supports. Anyone know where to connect Sbus signal?

EDIT:

Actually I might just be blind. Am I right to say I should connect it to UART3 RX? UART3 has a -, a +, a TX and a RX.

SBUS cable goes into plug number 7 on your diagram, Select Port UART 3 in CF, then select rx SBUS, and SBUS, save and good to go. you only need 3 wires on that cable.

I will post pics of mine as soon as I get back to my workshop.

there's actually a few different ways of doing it, you can use the through hole on the board, connecting your rx to the "+, -, and rx" or the easier way the way which I do it. which is use the 8 pin wire connector that your board came with and using the IO2 connector you only have to use the first 3 wires, and also 5 and 6 if you plan on using telemetry. once you have it hooked up to your rx it's going to be uart3 in configurator. you connect 5 and 6 together and connect it to the smart port on the side of your rx, if I recall correctly it's the last pin closest to the edge of the rx. and it will be soft serial 2 in configurator.

Could you explain that telemetry connection a little more detailed or even with a quickly drawn diagram?

sure no problem. in order to get the telemetry to work on soft serial you need to jump the rx and tx wires. then connect to the smart port pin on the x4r. I personally try to eliminate as much wiring as possible on my quads so what I did was bridge the two pins with some solder. [Image: g7qMU0Tl.jpg]
if you look closely at the IO2 connector on the top of the picture you can see where I soldered it.

then I removed all the wires that I'm no longer using from the connector, and this is what I'm left with. the black, red, and white wire plugs into the sbus pins. the yellow wire has to be soldered to the connector that came with your x4r. then plugged into the smart port connector.

This is great, thank you. One last question though. What wire on the smart-port? I got 4 wires here.

ok looking at this picture it's going to be the green wire. on your's it might be a different color, this is an old plug I had made to flash a D4R rx I had, but I figured it would make it easier for me to point out which pin it was. you can see the little smart port symbol next to it. hope this helps, and let me know if you get it going. good luck.
