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!
